Hybrid theory is my fav. I'm not big fan, but Linkin Park's is good background music.

Re animation got me good after I felt out of love with them - but their stuff with Jay Z was fusion at it's best

I liked their first 2 albums, but they became unbearable around their third.. Hybrid is def. my favorite. I give it an 8.

Unbearable after their third, I thought they were pretty unbeareable after their first.

anybody here as big a fan of their latest (A Thousand Suns) as me?

this is musical manna from heaven

alleluia

Honestly, I really don't understand why people don't fall in love with LP after listening to When they Come for Me. I Understand that much of their music is the same. That can be allowed to exist ONLY if the band had a new sound to begin with, and that's exactly what they had- a new sound. Rap meets Metal. Johnny Ramone meets Run DMC.

Run DMC was teaming up with Aerosmith long before Linkin Park.

"Rap meets metal" was already old news by the time Linkin Park came along. I definitely wouldn't call their sound "new" in any way.

just Nu

First two albums and "Bleed It Out" work very well for me. The rest, well, I'm not a big fan of bands who are tryna sound like Coldplay. lol =P
