ATS was pure genius. Just takes a few listens to fully understand.

There's definitely some great songs on OML. Heavy has been stuck in my head lately. Also love Nobody Can Save Me and Talking to Myself. It took like three full listens for me to appreciate it. As soon as you get over the fact that Linkin Park made it you'll finally be able to enjoy it for what it is.

And yes, I also never gave MTM a fair chance until now either. It was a polarizing listen when it was released but revisiting it now it's honestly aged extremely well. If I had a top 20 LP songs list probably half the songs on this album would be on it.

Also, I have Final Masquerade on repeat. What a great f---ing song.

Used to bump the s--- out of that Young Buck song lol.

Also, Linkin Park finally released a statement this morning:

Kinda came into this thread to talk about this. I was looking at the Wiki page for One More Light and the summary of his insults/threats/etc to people who dismissed the album and made sell out accusations.

Linkin Park has been mainstream since their debut, they have nothing to gain by "selling out." The entire notion of that was bs, regardless of your feelings toward the sound on One More Light. No 2 LP albums have had the same sound, not even Hybrid and Meteora. They always liked to experiment with new things, they've always been extremely multifaceted. Chester's response was wild and over the top. I thought he sounded washed up and sensitive when I first read the interview where he told fans to stab themselves in the face, but it seems pretty clear now that he was in a really unstable and dark mental state.

In the same breath, like Changeling said, you don't need to justify your tastes or regret not liking One More Light. Chester was likely to have made his decisions regardless of album reception. I'm hating these youtube comments on Heavy with people saying "are you guys happy now." Chester isn't so weak to have taken his life over a bunch of internet scrubs with opinions. There were way more internal battles he was fighting than we will ever know and its only a shame that he wasn't able to get the help that he needed to win them. rip

I'm still devastated .. He committed suicide on Chris Cornell's birthday.
This is horrible.
Part of my childhood is gone.

R.I.P Chester

I bought Meteora for my first real gf back in high school, we'd listen to it together for ages. She was a huge fan of linkin park. I haven't listened to them in a while but respect the h--- out of them.

RIP

Rest in peace Chester.

man cmon i was never a fan but its not the time for this...

 

Jul 20, 2017

Just realised I was o my listening to Kay Z and Linkin Park Encore/Numb yesterday.

 

Jul 20, 2017

They actually been together for 21 years... The band had different names before Linkin Park.



Pretty sad s---.


No one probably knows for sure... But seems like a ripple effect from Chris doing himself... Wonder if Chester was on Ativan... Really don't tbink addicts should be on these meds where suicidal thoughts is a side effect.

 

Jul 20, 2017

Can't imagine how the band feel...these are six guys who made and performed music for 17 years and never had anything but absolute praise for eachother

 

Jul 20, 2017

I can't believe this is real. I was listening to Meteora yesterday and I feel so f----- up knowing that guy who perfected that album is gone.
