Linkin Park

[drache]

I dunno about you guys, but I like LP, even though i'm not into rap much...

[Dan #3]

I liked them when they were underground. Just like I liked N*Sync when they were underground.

[drache]

I heard they were making another CD... ;) I don't know if it was true or not...

[supercanuk]

LP is rap now? They did do that cd with Jay Z... anyway most of thier songs sound alike, that doesnt mean they aren't good songs they just all sound alike.

[HoboFactory]

...And have the same subject matter... and weak guitar abilities... and poor vocals.

[supercanuk]

haha Hobo you could not be more correct.

[Dan #2]

i think they're decent... i bought 2 of their cd's, but i do hate that i could burn all of their orignal music onto one blank disc. now that i think about it, i should have...

[drache]

LP is under the category of rap yes, it always was...

[Dan #3]

Have you even heard Hybrid Theory. It's Nu Metal. Ish. But with rap. Hence the 'ish'.

[saturnine]

i thought the definition of nu-metal was rap rock

[Dan #2]

i thought it was just that polished angsty over-the-top mallcore from the mid-to-late nineties...

[saturnine]

some say both

[Dan #2]

polished angsty over-the-top mallcore from the mid-to-late nineties that often incorporated honkey-rapping?

[saturnine]

mos def..

[Dan #3]

i thought the definition of nu-metal was rap rock

I've seen System of a Down classified as "Nu-Metal." Rap-Rock they are not.

[saturnine]

predominately rap-rock, then.

piano intro followed by some awesomely uninspired DJ scratching followed by delicate verse followed by loud chorus with the white guy screaming, rinse and repeat

[no yu begin wher i end]

Linkin Park is a roller coaster!

[Disestabulistic]

I used to like Linkin Park, I bought Hybrid Theory and Meteora. They get sorta broing after a while, their songs do sound alot the same. Their strongest point in my opinion is all the layers of weird little background noises that you dont notice unles you listen realy hard, but realy flesh ou thte music.

[drache]

Yes it is sorta nu-metal, but it's mostly rap. I know my LP...sorta ;)

[blue_soda025]

Used to like them. But I thought they just went downhill when they released Meteora. Besides, I don't find their music or lyrics impressive.

[drache]

No, I thought they were dead when "Reanimation" came out... One or two of the mixs was ok...and when they did that thing with Jay-Z...>.> But yeah, as I said before, "I heard they were making another CD"

[borntohula]

i dont like how they flog the same (shit) material over and over. they released one CD. remixed it. released another CD and then came their live album. and thennnn they did a live mashup of their record and jay-z's. kind of defeating the point of why jay-z's record was the centre of the mashup craze and yet, still capitalizing on it.

 

i laughed myself silly when i heard of their plans to release a book in the near future.

[HoboFactory]

A book?? Seriously??

 

(uproarious laughter)

[borntohula]

A book?? Seriously??

 

(uproarious laughter)

hahha yeah... i read it in a music magazine a few months ago, but i don't know whether or not it will materialize.
