Never in a million years would i have thought i would say this but damn, the new song that linkin park is workin on is pretty fuckin heavy and dare i say "good". it sounds like they have taken a page out of the book that is MACHINE HEAD(supercharger era).

If all their new material is going to be like this, i think i might consider buying their next album :evil:

OK...I gave it a fair hearing.

  • Lame, monotone guitar riff.
  • Shitty, processed tone.
  • Lyrics taken from the diary of a fourteen year old girl.
  • 'Extreme' vocals that sound like they belong at a school talent show.

There. If you liked it then great, but I really, truly hated it.:noway:

Erm...at the beginning it sorta felt like it had potential but...nope.

His rapping still sounds lame and he still has a very annoying voice.

Riff just felt like an everyday radio rock riff.

Singing sounds kinda like the dude from AFI, the screams are better though.

WOAH! THIS SONG IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!

They changed from commercial garbage to metalcore with rapping in it! That's certainly a step up!

Actually, that's a step down. This band makes me sick to my stomach, ARGH what a joke they are! I can't believe I used to listen to this crap and call it good. This is even worse than their older stuff, and more like nu-metal. WHY WAS I SO STUPID?!? :wallbash: .................................................. OKAY, rant over. I'm glad I got that out. :)

EDIT: Actually, this wasn't much of a rant. It sure was a good bashing though!

You know, I used to hate Linkin Park, but I appreciate some of their stuff like "Faint." Sure all their songs are extremely commercial, and they all sound the same, but IMO that one song they keep on re-writing I really like :metal:

I like their earlier stuff better--I liked the ambient, layered sort of techno metal rap thing they had going.

I've always liked Linkin Park (their actual stuff, not that fucking retarded ass remix crap). This sounds pretty damn good. I don't know why I like them either, I just do. They're the only band like them that I like. Hybrid Theory FTW.

I still think Hybrid Theory is a great album, but everything after it blows. Including this newest song.

Yeah that was a good one.

Heh, the other day I was at the local music store cause my bassist is looking for a keyboard. Anyway, I went up to one of the keyboards and it took me about 10 seconds to figure out how to play "In The End" and I was playing that just as some virtuoso keyboardists walked in and started showing off. I felt like a dork :lol: It's cool though, I don't know shit about keys...

I'm not too impressed. I'd rather listen to Hybrid Theory than this new track.
