New Linkin Park?
 

Just wondering if anyone was a fan in the first place and, if anyone has the new album, what they think?

Personally, I don't like all of the songs as much as when they were nu metal, but I do like the fact that they're trying to make some sort of statement. "Hands Held High" and "No More Sorrow" are really good songs and make it worth buying the album.

Dont have the entire album yet, but I listened to some of their new songs last night. I liked what I heard and have every intention of buying it before the week is out.

pretty good. 3-4 songs you can count on. not the best but it will do for a bit.

Re: New Linkin Park?
 

Not bad overall, but the songs I heard didn't "rock my face off" as the kids would say

In the End is one of my favorite songs ever. Makes you want to go out and play some football and hit people kind of song

Re: New Linkin Park?
 

I've been listening to it almost all day, at first I was like meh, now it's really growing on me. It's definitely a different sound for them. More stripped down.

Speaking of which, whatever came of that warpath or forum football tournament, or game that we were trying to put together two years ago?

Yeah, the one that you guys were trying to put together at training camp.

Well the mods got busy with personal stuff for a while that didn't allow us to really pursue it the way we had hoped to so we put it off and unfortunately it just never materialized.

It did get us Tony McGee as a regular contributor though so that was good.

Too bad, and cool. Now back to the thread. Linkin Park rocks!

Re: New Linkin Park?
 

I'm not a big fan of the new album. One of the things that made me like them in the first place was the fact that they had a pretty unique sound. Now they sound like they should be touring with Breaking Benjamin. And they pushed Shinoda into the background which was a mistake. Overall I'm pretty disappointed with the new album.

Re: New Linkin Park?
 

Their new album is iffy, I do like track 7 (Hands Held High) though.

Re: New Linkin Park?
 

6-8 is a nice stretch. I like the fact that there is some political commentary in it. I like what they're saying, but I don't think it would have hurt to let Shinoda say more of it.

Re: New Linkin Park?
 

I don't care for the new stuff. Maybe it will grow upon me in the coming weeks.

Re: New Linkin Park?
 

I like that new song that I've been hearing on DC101 24/7, What I've Done. I might look into getting the new c.d.
