what are Kerrang readers smoking?

[caligurl]

they think that M2M is the 3rd worst album..

i can understand FOB..but LP c'mon..

hmmm maybe that's why they didnt get nominated for a grammy.

oh and paramore is my guilt pleasure :D

Worst album:
1/Fall Out Boy, Infinity On High
2/Fightstar, One day son this will be all yours
3/Linkin Park, Minutes to midnight
4/Angels and Airwaves, I-Empire
5/Paramore, Riot

[heyosnow]

and which is the best one?

[DK]

Crtics seems to don't like Linkin Park as a muscian that much I guess.

[WookieBastard]

well, i'll have to agree... however, i can think of lots of worst albums released this year. This year was a very bad year for music.

[lauraSlinkin]

kerrang have always annoying when it comes to LP ignore it!

[NoFace]

*nods* They always pick on LP. Maybe Mike kicked some major ass in Kerrang and now they're taking their revenge, yea?

[Void_Intricacy]

Well what does it matter? No stupid magazine is going to change my views on anything.

[Ultra_Violet_Kosh]

Well what does it matter? No stupid magazine is going to change my views on anything.

good!

and thats the way it should be.

[Umlauts]

MTM has gotten more bad reviews than good reviews and it deserves some of the criticism it gets, but it seems lots of critics have it in for the band. So many of the negative reviews are over the top.

I hope the band responds to this sort of criticism like other bands do and release a new fuckin awesome album in less than 2 years. Early, 2009 LP, get it done.

[supsupxxdurg]

idiots.


whatever, we all love MTM; can i get an amen!? XD haha

[LinkinPete]

rah, blah, blah blah


Amen

[sizedude]

its kerrang, ignore it, ever since I was introduced to kerrang I hated it, always have done, always will do.

I think its because LP doesn't have a set image like most of the emo bands out there today, that they don't like them. Also with LP straying away from the slightly heavier stuff and trying differnt sorts of genres then they did alredey, its convusing readers even more to try and create an image from LP.

kerrang is all about the image of a band.

[_GaMzOsH_]

yepp its kerrang ignor them :|

[MrBacon666]

3rd Worst? I have them the 3rd best. I saw Paramore and Angels and Airwaves at the KROQ concert along with LP and they were ok.

Where's High School Musical 2 or Hannah Montana? Those albums suck imo. I can't stand Fall Out Boy so I can see why they made the list. Most rap albums are god awful this year

Hannah Montana is just a kid (at least in my opinion), lol. HSM and Hannah Montana are just... too Disney Channel to be mentioned and compared here haha.

And Rap Albums this year are not bad, the problem is where you look at, and do you like Rap at all?

[linkinparkareawesome]

well i dont care cos i love MTM album its great,and also i was shocked paramore's album was in that list cos i love that aswell
well kerrang readers are stupid:p

Well, in my point, Rap records really went down this year. I support hip hop like Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, Common, Chamillionaire (Examples of good artist that released albums this year). The bad is like Soulja Boy, Hurricane Chris, T.I, Jay Z (was better off retired), 50 Cent and those silly RnB artist like T-Pain.

[xLinkinxParkx01]

Btw
I Know This Thread Is Like Kinda Old But
Lol
I Get Kerrang Pretty Much All The Time
And They Pretty Much Are In Blinding Love With Fall Out Boy
And My Chem
Like Nothing Bad To Them Bands But
Thats The Only Bands They Like Lol
The Rest Pretty Much Just Get Slated Lol :P
Linkin Is Deffo Number 1 And Damn Well Should Be Lol :P

It's just your opinion. Jay Z and American Gangster made huge success this year. T.I is cool. Soulja Boy is cool too.

Really now?

[Mety]

I always thought that some fans don't like M2M but critics do and I was sure that that's why LP became not so "underground" as they were. I mean when we like album the critics don't and when we don't the critics do. I totaly desagree that MTM is the worthst album!!!

To be fair, some of the critics liked Hybrid Theory, Reanimation, and Meteora.

Well im afraid it is...has no one expected LP to change this much. I said this so many times.

[Rob1]

Linkin Park haven't been "underground" for a long, long time.

[KerovinBlack]

WEll i think its the editors b'cuse they never sid much good about htem in the first place thats y i stoped buying it its not worth it if they dont appreciate good music. but hey Free world isnt it.

[fluorescent_black]

i think he meant the magazine!!

[trtrzenified]

Rolling Stone did like Minutes To Midnight, but did not really like Hybrid Theory or Meteora, although they praised Breaking The Habit.

It just that Linkin Park did not have a complex riff instrumentally, and so they just think that they are not skilled. But to be honest when people look at it, Linkin Parka ctually have quite a genius arrangement of instrument, and when it all harmonise together it sounds great, despite being simp-le on it's own.

thats is so true :)

[missy_B]

Ignore Karrang they'll go away.

[tpbarbosa]

well it wasn't the best LP's album
But yeah it's horriblw
I don't think it's the 3rd worst
There's a lot of others that are worst

[shinodasgirl5177]

shouldnt paramore be #1?

[mikesgreatestfan]

idiots.


whatever, we all love MTM; can i get an amen!? XD haha

AMEN!!! :D

kerrang is all about the image of a band.

I agree i hate all those f***ing emo bands they play on kerrang all the time especially mcr,elliot minor etc. They need to start playing more proper music and less f***ing paramore - its a ROCK station!!!!!

[SandraD06]

man f**k Kerrang, and like sizedude said, they're all about image. thank god i never even read kerrang. they should be more concerned about the artist, or band's music, not their images. it just makes them look like shallow crooks.

[KerovinBlack]

this is still running O.o

[illustrator_jen]

Apparently, Frank Zappa once said, "Rock journalism is people who can't write interviewing people who can't talk for people who can't read." If you don't understand that-stop buying Kerrang! :p

In the days of Hybrid Theory Kerrang seemed to love LP. But because they have changed so much musically, they don't really fit in with Kerrang's image so much I reckon. The only reason they print things about them (good or bad) is so that people will buy it! Who cares if MTM got a bad review; it's not stopped me listening to it night after night for the past two weeks!

*...is now wondering why on earth she clicked "quick reply"...*

[KerovinBlack]

lol at Jen

thats kinda cool :)

Rolli Stone are crap! When Nevermind came out they gave it 3/5

And people seem to forget this wasn't Kerrang! that put MiM there, it was the readers who voted
And AVA should have been no.1, followed by HelloGoodbye who AREN'T ROCK SO WTF ARE THEY IN KERRANG

[DaveDuncan]

I personally love Fightstar's latest offering aswell as MTM. I wouldn't put them anywhere near worst. bit of a piss take to be honest.
