ok...this is a thread about Linkin Park, and I too hate their commercialism, don't get me wrong. But I still want to dedicate a thread where we discuss the tracks instead of dissing.
I listened to Hybrid Theory before it got popular and back then I actually liked it. After that, I almost puked when hearing their tracks everywhere.
Now this new album Meteora has some decent subjects. The beats are somewhat interesting and some of the tracks are almost IDM with song.
Give me a healthy point of view here and not the ordinary "fuck linkin park" speech

let me spell it: I respect all bands for musical performance: I DON'T respect bands commercialism.
I do like some tracks by Linkin Park because they're are some IDM hidden in there that is quite enjoyable. I just hoped someone in here had the same point of view (with all the talk about people making threads about everything else than music it actually was a decent idea).
Music nowadays has become so based on what we like in general and not. So if a really good track (and therefore experience) is hidden in some popband, I fucking shouldn't let that keep me from experiencing it.
On another point: when i specifically ask of you NOT to diss and spit because i wanted a discussion of pure musical interest, why do you then start out with such comments instead of just shutting up?

the main reason why I dont like linkin park is becouse the singer. he sounds like someone with "knäckebröd" in the hals. you know what knäckebröd is right?

some of the music is decent.. but i can't stand the singing. especially that rapping one..
i mean they use some interesting sounds, and effect techniques.. but even then, they very much overuse them.. like that vocal stuttering effect.. i mean it's cool sometimes, but not when they do it on practically every song..
i think what they are doing is good and interesting in theory..combining certain aspects of many styles, but they pull it off with such commercialism and pop mentality, it kind of ruins it for me, but i'm not saying they don't have a few interesting/catchy riffs or songs, it's just not something i'm really into, or something that i would listen to..
i think some of the members of the band are talented, the guitar work is okay, the one more traditional-singing-voice-type singer has a decent voice, but i don't like the whininess/ angst-y-ness that he uses..
sorry.., but at least i gave you some reasons as to why i don't really like them.. instead of just saying "they suck"

junktion, i bet you'd like my band's music.. it's kinda the same concept of linkin park, maybe, or the idea of combines styles, (without the pop or commercial-ness) with alternative, a lot of metal, rock, folk, jazz, blues, western, swing, some hip hop/rapping, and hopefully some electronic.. i'm going to add some keyboards/samples/electronic beats/flourishes to what we've already got, when it's done being recorded..
if you might be interested we got a site up at here.. there's no sound clips up yet, but hopefully we'll put up many songs from the album as soon as we are done..
i haven't told many about this here, since most people here aren't really into that type of music..

i like their guitar riffs, drumming and most of the singing (not the rapping).
i dont mind their music at all, even tho every single comes straight of an assembly line with a built-in instant hit generator..
one step closer, and crawling are some really good tracks.

yeah hardcore would maybe be a good way to describe it too.. but with melody.. and lots of changes, different genres mixed in as well.
you should tell me about/let me hear your band when it's formed..

interesting.. right now our setup is
2 guitarists 7 string/6 string baritone 1 6 string bass 1 singer, the bassist does backing vocals, i do a little too..
a drummer were looking for someone to play keyboards and samples nonstop
and one other member to fill in on additional vocals, percussion, guitar, synth or whatever else that the song calls for..

i pwn the cds and i have enjoyed them thouroughly, but that was before i began listening to electronic. the track session is okay, but i like the beat to the newly mainstream song faint. its pretty good.
as for commercialism, i thnk its the worst ploy ever.
jsut look at rap. its crap. its all about the same 5hit and they all share the exact same beats. thats why, if i even listen to rap, i stay away from the mainstream and find a nice little underground band. Ie - swollen members.
bravo junktion

i used to listen to neo-metal some years ago (when i didn't know shit about music except this and Oasis and some other stuff)... i thought Linkin Park were very good back then.
now, well, i do not listen to it anymore at all, but when it airs somewhere (when my brother watches music videos on TV for example), it doesn't bother me either... i'm just like, "oh, it's linkin park."

when i worked in the manufacturing dept at my old Lab, I had to wear ear protection which essentially was these headphones with a radio in them.
one of the only channels that came in was the teen angst channel and they played a LOT of Linkin Park.
i have to say, out of all of the crap they play on that station. Linkin Park and System of a Down were the only ones i was actually glad to hear when it came on.
i haven't listened to it since though as i find it kind of shallow and transparent. LP are deffinately corporate rock; they are a product, like Nike shoes and Pepsi cola.
