    Meteora was also a decent album. I stopped listening after that. Hybrid Theory is something else though. Reanimation was also dope

      They had some solid songs after this, but I kinda feel that this is where the downfall started to happen as they moved away from the angry, angry stuff and towards more of a rock sound.

        I found the formula got a bit old after a while. The lyrics felt more profound in the beginning, but after a while it just felt like it was throwing synonyms for feeling bad in very similar tracks.

      I listened to the first three albums (inlcuding reanimation) obsessivley when i was a kid. I think those and the live in texas album are the only cds i still own, for nostalgias sake. Ive recently been going over the albums ive missed though and though they arent start to finish bangers like the old ones, theres some really good songs still.

    Me at 30+ listening to new Linkin Park with the scientologist and sexual assault enabler:

    “this shit sucks”

    When ‘Lost’ dropped, it really spoke to where I was emotionally at the time. Chester out here like “Even in death, I still serve.”

    Never fails that about this time every year I give Hybrid Theory a listen. Had such an impact on me when it came out that it seems to have left a permanent mark on the change from summer to autumn for me.

    One thing that I always noted with Linkin Park is that most of their later albums seemed to divide opinions in the fanbase.

    This always struck me as a good thing because they never really released the same sounding album twice (their first two, most popular albums being the exception). They always changed it up.

    Their more electronic sounding albums are really underrated IMO. I haven’t really listened to them in years, but I used to love their music.

    I still remember the shock and sadness when hearing of Chester’s death. He was a beast of a vocalist.

    I didn’t love them forever ago, but I rather like their new single “The Emptiness Machine”. I don’t follow music so I didn’t know they had lost their lead singer until yesterday. I heard the song and thought, “Linkin Park doesn’t have a woman for a lead singer….”

    The same with me. But I’m 37. And in-between there were like 15 years when I thought it was crap.

      I never thought it was crap, I also don’t think Nickelback is crap
