Your Opinion On Linkin Park

[Minnesota]

I wouldnt have to flame you if you didnt start being such a ________. But anyways remember Johnnq, you started it.

Anyways if I want to find music I usually go on google and type in "SongName.MP3" usually you will get text-sites which show playlists, but once in a while you will find a link in order to actually access and get the song from that website.

Ok, was just browsing forums, found one that mentioned LP. I voted. then i read the posts. and i must say, I totally agree with guitarmonkey on everything he said. LP sucks, and sales dont imply talent! shoot, the boy bands sold records didnt they? talent? I dont think so. LP is a disgrace to "rock" music(it's not rock, its crap trying to be rock). If you want guitar playing, good music, listen to the songs guitarmonkey mentioned, and also, listen to old school metallica(you'll bang your head till your brains fall out), or ozzy(just plain rules), or the like. this generation of music embarrasses me!

Yes boy band sold record. why? Because of their music? No. Because they had appeal? Yes. Because a lot of girls in america have a "crush" on them and think that they are "hot"? Yes.

Now let's look at LP, i don't know a girl who actually is physically attracted to any members in the band.

There are MORE aspects to popularity than talent.

And another thing, did you listen to the song "breaking the habit", you think the lyrics in the song are crap??? The song does have a deeper meaning than what is on the surface.

And one more thig, did you ever watch linkin park's music videos. They are actually intelligent guys. Most of their videos are symbolic of something in their song. Now how many artists/bands actually do something like that? I saw a "simple plan" video and a "sum 41" video. there was absolutely ZERO intelligence used in making those videos. On the other hand, linkin park does use intelligence when making their music videos so there is a difference between them and other bands. If you do not understand what i'am saying about their music videos:

1. you have not seen a music video from LP

2. you are too stupid to figure out what they mean and you should sign up for an English class immediately.

Yeah but the hell song is pretty funny [Sum 41]..The song sucks, just turn down the tv and watch the video. As for lp. No they suck, no way to get around that fact. Maybe they should take the **** out of their mouth and start singing.

ok first of all, all you do is make claims and then more claims, you do not support anything you say with examples or details etc.
And second of i was using sum 41 as an example. you did not respond to anything i said in my previous post except "linkin park sucks" which you said in the post before.

Some of the articles i have read have stated that Linkin Park did use an Orchestra.

That link.

here are some reviews that i found that say something about an orchestra.

My "Meteora" Review
"Meteora" is Linkin Park's follow-up to their successful Hybrid Theory album. I was a big fan of Linkin Park, but after "Reanimation" was released I lost interest. I watched the MTV Making the Video for "Somewhere I Belong" and I still wasn't sure if I would get "Meteora" or not. I thought "Somewhere I Belong" was okay at first, but after hearing it for the 3rd or 4th time, I really started to like it. So I figured I would give "Meteora" a chance.
Some of my favorite tracks on the album are: "Somewhere I Belong" (the first single), "Easier to Run", "Lying From You", "Breaking the Habit", and "Nobody's Listening"
"Somewhere I Belong" really grew on me after awhile (I really like the chorus). "Easier to Run" is a mid-tempo mosh-ballad, that is about how hard it is to face your problems. "Breaking the Habit" is a song that Mike Shinoda has been working on for the past 5 years. (you learn that in the "Making of Meteora DVD") It was originally supposed to be an short interlude, but ended up becoming a 3 minute song w/ a live orchestra, Chester handles the vocals. "Nobody's Listening", it is the most "hip-hop" track on the cd, but I still like it (I don't like Rap or hip/hop, so that's a lot coming from me), it features some kind of Japanese flutes in the background.

"Meteora" is a solid cd with no "filler", it clocks in at 37 minutes. I probably like it more than "Hybrid Theory" and I'm sure it will be just as successful. The bonus DVD is worth the money and it is very interesting to how they made the album. The cd also includes the "Somewhere I Belong" video and tons of other extras Linkin Park fans will enjoy. So, if you liked what you heard on "Hybrid Theory", get this cd. If you're not a fan of Linkin Park or "Hybrid Theory", you're not going to like this one any better.

My rating: 4/5 Stars

a meteoric sophomore album!
having been disappointed with Reanimation (an unnecessary remix album), i was feeling a little skeptic about Meteora on how it would sound. until after hearing the first single Somewhere I belong, i was almost certain that Meteora would be like Hybrid Theory...packed with great songs. and i was not disappointed at all...this album is totally worth the wait (even for a 36 minute album). here is my breakdown of the songs:
01 Foreword - just an intro to the next song..sounds cool though
02 Don't Stay (5/5) - i like the heavy sound of it, kind of like
heavier One Step Close but more nicer.
03 Somewhere I Belong (5/5) - great first single, the intro is
really nice! i like it a lot.
04 Lying Form You (4/5) - really good feel to it, the tune is
unique and vocals are great.
05 Hit The Floor (3/5) - i really dont feel this song, but not
that bad either.
06 Easier To Run (5/5) - this is one of my favorite tracks on
the cd, great chorus and great melody!
07 Faint (4/5) - the papercut on this cd for me, mike did a
great job in rapping and chester on the chorus.
08 Figure.09 (4/5) - above average track..it has the usual
linkin park vibe in the song.
09 Breaking The Habit (5/5) - wow, great song! not like the
usual LP sound since it has an orchestra.
chester's vocals is really good on this one.
10 From The Inside (5/5) - another great song..i love the
singing style of chester here.
11 Nobody's Listening (4/5) - great but could've done better
with the chorus, more guitars maybe..
but nonetheless its a great track.
12 Session (3/5) - another instrumental track, cure for the itch
is better...
13 Numb (10/5!!) - this one blows me away, this is the best
track on this cd no doubt! the verses and chorus are
well polished! its hard to believe they've done this
almost effortlessly (as the notes on the booklet says).

On the first review, it states that there was a live orchestra present in the DVD with Chester singing along. If you think i conjured these reviews out of thin air, then here is the link:

Ok here is a backed up reson. It sounds like limp bizket with nsync crossed together, some crappy techno + crappy rock = lp

 

[xjMaN88lx]

linkin park is the shizzzzz they pwn all

 

[rifferm]

Alright, first off, so they make videos that go along with their songs. Woopdeedoo. Shoot, I dont listen to music for the video. Video for the most part are pointless. Second, I could care less that they are popular. They still suck. the mass populace dosen't like real music anymore. I'd rather be good than be famous, unlike some people I know. Famous is nice, but if I can't be good at what I'm doing, and enjoying what I'm doing instead of trying to just please the people listening, why? That's all LP does. They play stuff that they know people will buy. I'ts a money thing. Third, did I ever say anything about lyrics? No, didn't think so. Before you start telling someone to take english classes, learn to read moron.

 

[guitarmonky55]

whoever said that LP has videos that show their intelligence etc...well, i hate to break it to you, but a band doesnt create their music videos. their record label hires a writer to make something catchy that people can analyze and all that crap. the only part that LP would have in the making is appearing in the video footage/

 

[AxL]

I would also like to say that people saying "LP OWNS OMG LOL" need some help. Get some real music taste and listen to Led zeppelin.
