do you really like the album? or is just the name'Linkin Park'?

[Ro_Chester]

i don't know what to say..... the album had been released for a long time, but some fans are dissapointed and they are trying to start to like the album because of their fav band.... i don't say that i don't like the album, is great, but there are ppl/fans who loved LP just for the previous 2 albums and for years they have been waiting for new songs in that style that we all love and listen all time.
I hope (for me and for the fans that liked just the new-metal) that in the next album they will use some of their old style..

[tpbarbosa]

I liked MTM , I wouldn't keep supporting them if I didn't like it
Although I think would be better if was more "nu-metal"
I doubt LP will come back to their new style (I wished that so much )

[With_You]

i hate new LP style, it sucks, but at the same time, i like it.
But yes, i wanted the old LP sound back...it would be pretty cool but i guess they will stick with the MTM sound..(hope not) When the next albums comes out, we will see it ;)

[Rob1]

I actually like it. I don't buy albums I don't like just because of the band.

[maria_shinoda]

i like the new album,and i like the old albums.maybe the change was big but we all knew that the band couldn't do all the albums in the same line,i like more the old style but at the same time i hope they keep on changing like this,til now i think they're doing a great work!!XD

[Liquorice]

If I didn't like it I wouldn't have it. And I have it.

[LPrnw@y]

i just bought it to use it as a frisbee.


j/k, i'm bored out of my mind!

[3Blin1k1]

I bought it even though I didn't like what I heard (besides Given Up and What I've Done). I figured I shouldn't judge too much till I had a proper listen. After one, I liked it. I went in expecting a different LP and came out loving it. What you've gotta understand is: though MTM isn't as heavy or exciting as the other two albums (for the most part), the material there is good. And unlike HT or Meteora, MTM is very diverse. There's a few heavy songs (Given Up, NMS), a nu-metal song (BIO), a few fast-paced songs (In Pieces, WID), softer ballads (SOTD, In Between, VDay, LOATR), a full-on rap song, and a 6min acoustic-type-deal about Hurricane Katrina. Tell me, as good as they may have sounded...what subject did the first two records touch on? Pain, misery, and ever so famous self-referential verses telling exactly what was wrong with the singer. Very simplistic songs, lyrically. Perfect examples: I've become so numb...I tried so hard...I wanna heal, I wanna feel...It's like I'm paranoid...Crawling in my skin. That type of thing. A handful (not all) of the songs on Metoera followed and even copied to an extent the same formula or song structure as the ones on HT (ex: Pushing Me Away=Numb, Don't Stay=One Step Closer, Crawling/Runaway=Easier to Run). MTM doesn't sound as dynamic or exciting, but in the end, the lyrics are improved, the music sounds cleaner, and they spread their musical reach much further than personal pain. It expands to broader areas, and the overall sound is good. They've actually attempted guitar solos in a studio album, and no two songs are similar to each other or to anything they've done in the past. That's why I like it. If anything, MTM has made me even more of a fan because it disproves everything said of LP before, that they are a one-trick dog or can only generate one sound. And I was a hardcore fan before. So that says something. I'm not hating on HT or Meteora, cuz I love those albums. For real. But you can't deny the simplicity of some of the songs on either album. All I'm saying is that they've evolved musically, lyrically, etc.

(christ that post was too long...) :eek:

[Ro_Chester]

wow.... how long did u think that post? :)) great man.. i understand.... i like all the albums, the change wasn't expected by the fans but its great in a way and not so great in another way , like u say they don't repeat the same 'words' 'toughts' like in the older albums. if they have another project, album that will come in the future i wonder what will they do after they saw all the comments that we all do to the album... maybe they wil try to improve the old style and i'm sure that they'l make something amaizing.

[tpbarbosa]

i just bought it to use it as a frisbee.


j/k, i'm bored out of my mind!

that was surely the best answer ever :rolleyes:

[Mondreus_X]

I love Mtm and HT and meteora. Thier next album should be like mtm and the others combined. but its what they want

[isabeli]

I bought the album without knowing what to expect :rolleyes:
but to tell you the truth I really liked it... it was unextected...new...different...but I liked it :p
of course...the first album-HT was the reason I started listening LP 7 years ago but I doubt they will go back to the old sound.
They spent too much time working on this new style, I don't know...Rob said something like- the reason they spent some much time working on MTM is because they were experimenting with the new sound, new style.. and their new album won't take as long...

so I'm guessing the old sound is history...they changed...they kinda "grew up" musically speaking.
but that's just my point of view ;)

[Phazon_UK]

I've liked LP for a while now, my bro was the one who used to like them. I listened to HT alot and liked it, liked Meteora even more, at which point even my mum started listening to them, then MTM came out and my mum bought that on release. I didn't really like their 1st single so I wasn't expecting to like the album...and I didn't. However, the more I heard it the more I liked it. I like that this album isn't as loud as the previous 2, and I think the lyrics are much better. Now MTM is probably my favourite ablum out of the 3.
Went to see them at Notts on 24th Jan, I went with a friend, my mum went and so my dad went with her and now even he likes MTM.
One thing my mum said once is that their new music seems more 'socially acceptable'. It's not just current LP fans that are going to listen to it. Because it has a different sound and they sing about different things they are appealing to a larger audience I think and not everybody wants them to shout all the time, I mean my mum thinks Chester has a wonderful singing voice and he really puts it to use in MTM in songs such as Shadow of the Day and The Little Things Give You Away.

Basically, I love it

[Dympna]

Honestly, I'd be pretty bored with if it was just the same old same old.

I hated most of it when I first heard it, but its grown on me.

If I didn't like it, I'd say so. I can stand behind a band and think their latest CD sucks like hell.

[3Blin1k1]

wow.... how long did u think that post? :)) great man.. i understand.... i like all the albums, the change wasn't expected by the fans but its great in a way and not so great in another way , like u say they don't repeat the same 'words' 'toughts' like in the older albums. if they have another project, album that will come in the future i wonder what will they do after they saw all the comments that we all do to the album... maybe they wil try to improve the old style and i'm sure that they'l make something amaizing.

Actually, it took like 2 seconds, hehe. I say whats on my mind. I'd actually rather they expand on their current sound than go back to the old. Because if they went back to nu-metal, people would be all over them about how LP made such a drastic and intentional change in sound, then went straight back to what they were trying to get away from in the first place. Personally, heavy rockers like Given Up or NMS are a nice alternative to their old music, sans the rap. That's basically what those two songs are. A more complex version of their nu-metal songs without the rap. If they expanded on the area of the new sound for their heavier songs, then combined them with some softer ones as well as a few surprises, I think that would make a stellar album. Seeing as they're just getting started with this new direction, I'm excited to see what the next record will sound like.

[Jen_1012]

I would never force myself to like an album. I really like the new direction they've gone in, although it did take me a while to come to terms with such a drastic change. I'm glad we didn't get Hybrid Theory Part 3, because for me, I wanted to see what else Linkin Park could do. I reckon they've stepped their game up, because they're really starting to showcase their talent, and I'm sure it will just continue to grow.

I've never liked everything Linkin Park have done. I've given Shadow Of The Day a chance many times, but the song still doesn't click with me. Same deal with Numb, I'm still not a fan of it, yet it's one of their biggest songs.

BUUUUUT, to be honest, I think I'll always support Linkin Park. Whatever they release, I'll give it a chance, but if I don't like the album I won't buy it. They're one of the first bands I ever truly liked, so I guess they'll always be special to me. Personally, I think their music will just get better from here.

In the space of four years they've improved MASSIVELY at playing live concerts, so I have a good feeling the next album will be very promising.

[Overx]

Hybrid will stay my all time fav album by this band for sure i'm still listening to it in my Ipod...thta's just awesome!!
Now i am less into Meteora and Minutes but they're great...
It's just not the same mood...

(christ that post was too long...) :eek:well, i agree with every word. :rolleyes:

[utopiainwonderland]

At first I hated the fact that they made such a drastic change musically and also lyrically.
But when I listened to MTM the 2nd time,what I thought of MTM completely changed.I didn't like LOATR when I heard it for the first time.The lyrics were kinda unusual for LP,I almost cried because I thought LP must be nuts to release that song.But now,LOATR almost makes me cry because it's such a beautiful song...

[mau_mon_san]

i love the new album... MTM is just as awesome as the other albums they have released from the past few years...

i love LP because of the music they make... and if i love every album therefore i love love loooooove LINKIN PARK!!!

(christ that post was too long...) :eek:

two words: paragraphs please ?

[chebing]

I like much more the old albums, but I do like MTM

So, I'd rather hear LP playing the nu-metal of several years ago, but I can put up with the new sound, it's not bad at all...

It's just that you miss the old sound, what LP represented...

It's like this new album could have been made for another different band, it doesn't have that LP essence...

Well, I'm sorry for all the mistakes, my english sucks :(

[Shadow_of_A_Doubt]

I hated it the first time I listened to it. Now, I love it.

[thaism]

I hated it the first time I listened to it. Now, I love it.

Me too
I can't stop hearing the new songs =)

[MusicalMorphine]

I only listened to a few songs at first and never really gave the others a second listen. Now I am in love with most of the songs.

[emmia]

When I heard MTM for the first time the reaction was pretty much like "Whaaat?? Do I really have the right CD...?". I liked MTM from the very beginning - it just took time to get used to the new sound, to believe that it was actually the same old Linkin Park.

I don't like Minutes to Midnight just because of LP - I like it 'cause it is what it is.

[benny_d]

I think that the album is alright but would like to hear the old style of the nu-metal so original I say go back or move forward should i say of what we all have heard and what you guys played. In this album it didn't have the fast pace, that the other albums had. like a place for my head. thats a great song.

[rEbliG]

I like MTM bcuz of how it sounds.. not bcuz its LP.. maybe at the first time i heard it was bcuz of LP .. but right now i enjoy listening to it no matter if its LP or not

[comfortzone]

I absolutely love it ! Since the Cologne gig I don't listen to any other music xD I like the way they changed, Mike shows he can do more than just rap. His voice is beautiful <3 Plus, the other members do a little singing. That's a great comeback.

I didn't know that I would ever say this because HT was my favourite for a very long time and it's got a lot of meaning but I'm sick of most songs right now.

[warhorse78]

I've heard Linkin Park on the radio for years. But it wasn't until Transformers came out when I decided, enough is enough, this band is more than good enough to shell out the bucks for their albums, and since What I've Done is the song that was freshest on my mind, Minutes to Midnight was the first LP album I bought. And I love it.
Bleed it Out, Leave Out All The Rest, What I've Done, Shadow of the Day and No More Sorrow remain some of my faves.

[AmyLynette_91]

thats the first video i saw.. and i fell for rob at that time.. coz he look cute and he was looking at the fly in the vid.. then i started to love LP.. now ive a crush on BBB!

[welcome2mv]

i love LP and all. i like this abt LP but the cd is cool. MTM is cool i think. no need to talk abt Hybrid and Meteora. it s better than any others.

(christ that post was too long...) :eek:

I totally 100% agree with you.
I might have been initially disappointed with how their style changed, but I soon realised just how much they had developed and matured both musically and lyrically. It was truly amazing to see that, as you put it, LP are simply not a one-trick pony and that they can still make great sounding music whatever style they do. I was also impressed by their ability and guts to actually go out and try to experiment, rather than simply be like "we've sold millions of albums with our HT/Meteora style - let's just do the same old thing". The development lyrically was a big bonus in my opinion, because it brought more of a focus upon worldly issues etc, rather than the 'pain and hurt' motivated lyrics.
Putting that all together, I'd say Minutes to Midnight is an awesome album, and shows that LP actually care about the music they're creating, rather than trying to stick with a style that might get them more money but not show their musical development/progression in any way - which is what I value much more.

[In_Perpetuum]

I wasn't really into Linkin Park, when I heard MTM for the first time.
I have known them before and I owned a few CD's, but I just had a BIG LP-break, as they had these 4 years before MTM.
After I got MTM, I didn't listened to it for about a year, because it just wasn't in my mind (I didn't liked What I've done so much when I saw it on MTV and I missed the video to Bleed it out completely).
I think that was my luck, because when I listened to MTM then, I fell in love for it. I started to hear more LP and the big differences were absolutely clear, but I couldn't get MTM out of my head. I love every song of Linkin Park - a few weeks ago I haven't even known what the Band members last names are :rolleyes:

[aaashley]

I've been a fan of the guys since Hybrid, but during that 4 year break from MTM, I didn't necessarily stop liking Linkin Park, I just didn't listen to them as much.. and like In_Perpetuum ^^, I took an "LP break."

When MTM was released, I wasn't very attracted to it at first, mainly 'cause I wasn't a big fan of What I've Done. But once I got the album, it truly reminded me why I listen to Linkin Park in the first place. I honestly think that this is probably their best album yet.. (probably because a lot of their songs and lyrics fit my taste more. :) )

But yeah.
I think, in general, the name will always play some sort of a role in your choice of liking a band or not. I mean, once you hear "Linkin Park," I'm sure many of us will jump at the chance to know exactly what's going on. But for me, I actually like the new album A LOT.. and the guys aren't too shabby either. XD

[MartaS]

I thinkk if I wouldn't like MTM I would just dont listen to it but listen to others albums. I like LP and I always will but if they would do something I wouldnt like I would say so. I like MTM cause I look at LP like at artists who they are, not like at people who used to play nu-metal. As artists they made masterpiece.

[888]

Listen to all you punk ass bitches pricks/ i been reading all this shit about lp being emo/ for your info that wat lp is all about express emotion since funking day one you dumb bitches/ either they are screaming or fucking singing? emotion you cunts/ lp been this always/ if ya don't think ya dont know shit about linkin park or music in general/ music is about emotion you fuking tars/ ya are dumb for thinking this/ and for ya calling mtm trash emo/ who da fuk think you are/

[888]

Like i was saying mtm is not completly fill with heavy shit but three in this particular album is fine by me/ if ya noticed closely in this every song sounds completly different/ the promblem with you people is the variety slow songs/ for your info lp did slow song before so ya cant say no/ this wat make lp who are talented muscian/ mtm has a fresher sound/ but they might changed every thing but one/ and this is wat we all love about lp / is there express emotions/ that wat chazz meant when they changed

[888]

chazz mean this when they changed their sound they leave wat we love but less because gets repeative/ and they did/ mtm has differnt elements they done in the past/ they have the screaming still but less/ they still have the rap/ and they still have the in the end and numb songs like what ive done and leave at the rest/ shit how much is to much for ya people/ mtm has an excellent tase of fast and slow songs which take wat lp has done before/ so stop the bitching and stop talking shit about lp being emo

[888]

lp are crazy good in this album/ they took different elements that they in past update it with a fresh streak/ they use all the element and made it less repeative they still got the rap elements / the screaming vocals but less cuss it would been repeative cus they done it before so many time/ they still got lp songs that similar like numb or the/ for example loatr and WID/ the problem about some people about this album are the slower songs/ the slower songs are similar to those in past so ya can say no

This isn't YouTube, you don't have to break it into separate chunks, it'll all fit fine.

How about punctuation?

...hmm...it reminds me someone...:rolleyes:

[DopeDollar]

at 1st the album to me was kind of like what the heck is this?...then later on as i kept listening to it..it got me good...they still kept their rock style..but had more soft songs...to me i like most of their soft songs...

[Ashaisko]

my friend offered me m2m, but before i got it, i watched the video - i remember it was "what ive done" video - hem...i totally agree with the fact that most of their songs on m2m are softer than before...dont really have problem with it, but lets say they lost their style in their begining :(
m2m songs are good though...i was just surprised they kinda changed the style if we can say so, but my fav LP's album till now is Reanimation, they were awsome
but ill keep supporting them coz dont deny they make good stuff :)

[888]

for your info my psp doesent aloud me to write everything all at once you asshole!! And i do know wat a paragraph you fucking snob so go fuck yourself rob1.

Not my problem, and that's besides the fact. Don't type like you have an extra chromosome and quit cursing at everyone or people are going to make fun of you. :)

[ChesterzMuse]

Very simplistic songs, lyrically. :eek:

I disagree. I think they were open to interpretation and it's really difficult to pinpoint exactly what Linkin Park's inspiration was, when it seems to fit so well into our worlds.


I do agree that they have evolved. I think it's pretty difficult not to see that. I think we're in for a long and interesting ride now that Linkin Park seem to have opened up a new can of worms.


As for the name ... it's terrible. Linkin Park? I mean, really.

:D :D :D
[end sarcasm]

[888]

Anyways i dont care if you or anyone else make fun of my grammer,who the hell care unlessnyour a english teacher or fucking nerd. That probably what you are a fuking nerd who get no ass, and say that shit ce i bet yourself wont last five over here in jersey city your ass would get torned....

[tristyn]

dude... people are gonna make fun of you no matter how good your grammar is if you rip on people like that...

it's beside the point...

i don't care how long you last in jersey city... you last there as long as you want.

maybe i don't need to last cuz i don't talk shit about people...

you can love mtm all you want, it's your own opinion... and you can justify your opinion... just don't talk trash about other people in here...

it's not what LPMB was made for...

argue your case all you want, just don't flame other people.

no one even attacked you in any way to set you off like that.

geez there's kids in here... and some people just wanna mind their own business without having to hear you shouting the f word to the world...

i'm tired of always coming in here hearing you call people names.
you are welcome to get out if you don't like it here...

[Mondreus_X]

I don't think that 888 is really a LP fan

[888]

I Love linkin park so much that i gave up my prom money to go see them live this thursday in madison ny/ how many people would do that/ and excuse my language i am piss cuss there people in this site calling lp peices of shit so it pisses me of that they dont get called out/ but i do/ i get called though/ what wrong with ya people focus on the haters.

[888]

And of course i am lp fan/ i been a fan since i was 10 when they first came out in 2000/ so i wont be cursing anymore cus there no point anymore/

[ShadowerLiltani]

i don't know what to say..... the album had been released for a long time, but some fans are dissapointed and they are trying to start to like the album because of their fav band.... i don't say that i don't like the album, is great, but there are ppl/fans who loved LP just for the previous 2 albums and for years they have been waiting for new songs in that style that we all love and listen all time.
I hope (for me and for the fans that liked just the new-metal) that in the next album they will use some of their old style..

It's the album ^___^ There are a lot of things LP have done that I've been rather so-so about or have disliked altogether. Such as, Hybrid Theory isn't that big of a deal to me, Collision Course is the worst decision of their career, if I have to hear Breaking the Habit one more time on youtube I will vomit, note that I am trying to be funny... So, it's the album.

[DanielleEnsemble]

The old style was great, But I definitely LOVE the new album, and not just because it's by them. The new songs are amazing. Bleed It Out, Leave out all the Rest, Shadow of the Day, The Little Things Give You Away, Valentines Day, Hands Held High. Theres only 2 songs on the album that I DONT like. A lot of my friends don't like their new style though..

[auburntiger]

Some of the songs came more quickly to like than others. I think they did a good job placing some of the "better" songs (my opinion) towards the beginning of the CD. I immediately got into "Given Up," "Leave Out All the Rest," "Bleed It Out," and "No More Sorrow," as well as "What I've Done." I even got into "No Roads Left" once I was able to download the pre-order off iTunes. Some of the others I get into when I listen to the album more.

I'm used to listening to certain groups and projects that go through evolutions with every release, or every other release, so this shift in direction didn't really phase me much. It's still good music, and it's in-line to a lot of the other stuff I listen to. Evolution is a good thing; this album also feels like a political piece in spots, which I have come to admire LP for taking stands and speaking out (mainly the second half of MTM).

My one complaint, to which I've seen some on LPU also agree to is that "Little Things," albeit a good track, was a letdown. That's my only complaint, and it's not really that big of one. I know the band got psyched with this track, built it up really big, but in the end, it usually ends up being a letdown, and it's not just with this release. I get people every now and then say something like, "oh this is the greatest thing ever," then I go see it (if it's a movie, for example), and more often than not, I'm like, "that's it?"

They haven't totally abandoned their old sound, imho. They've got elements of the old, but they're playing around with sounds, and trying to expand their horizons, something that we, ourselves, are encouraged to do when we grow up.

I'm looking forward to the next album...I just really hope it doesn't take another three or four years. :)

Some of the songs came more quickly to like than others. I think they did a good job placing some of the "better" songs (my opinion) towards the beginning of the CD. I immediately got into "Given Up," "Leave Out All the Rest," "Bleed It Out," and "No More Sorrow," as well as "What I've Done." I even got into "No Roads Left" once I was able to download the pre-order off iTunes. Some of the others I get into when I listen to the album more.

Yeah I quite agree with you...

LP for now is let's say still "growing up".I think the new album will be way better.

I get what you mean. I felt that way about the Frat Party DVD. People really raved about it, and I watched it, and it was funny, but when I watched it again, it wasn't funny anymore. The chicken fricassee part wasn't really that amusing. The video about LP in London, when Mike talks about his popstar sunglasses and him and Joe play the prank on the woman by having that guy moon her, are way funnier than all the jokes on that DVD combined. (Although the part about Chester getting bitten on the ass by the spider was hilarious)

I think that this album is realy cool.It is true that I like more "Meteora" than the other albums,but MTM is ok.Every song on MTM rules,and that's not just cuz I love this band,it's cuz the guys know what are they doing.:)

I've been a fan of the guys since Hybrid, but during that 4 year break from MTM, I didn't necessarily stop liking Linkin Park, I just didn't listen to them as much.. and like In_Perpetuum ^^, I took an "LP break."

When MTM was released, I wasn't very attracted to it at first, mainly 'cause I wasn't a big fan of What I've Done. But once I got the album, it truly reminded me why I listen to Linkin Park in the first place.


This is EXACTLY how I feel. :)
No joke, I think 'Given Up' is one of the greatest songs ever created. I could probably listen to it all day long and not get tired.
