If I decide to crank the Linkin Park in my 98 Mercury Mystique, that's my business. I like it, and your laughter at my lameness does not faze me.

an awesome single of the 2000's? Do you Listen to music?
― Andrzej B. (Andrzej B.), Sunday, 25 July 2004 04:40 (nineteen years ago) link
plus the lyrics imply that this is the LAST whiny song they'll ever do. The first single off the next album was about how they'd like to stop whining but can't. I appreciate details like that.

Yeah, they're damn formulaic, but Evanescense is even more so.

interesting sidenote: almost every really serious hip-hop fan i know likes this song.
the only people i personally know who refuse to listen to lp on the grounds of "bad rapping" (which means what exactly?) are corny indie fuxx who don't even like that much hip-hop in the first place.
weird huh?!?!

and for the record, he's just an ackward rapper to listen to with no word play and doesn't add anything to the group and i find him just plain and simple unremarkable. And would you not deny that even limp bizkit had better rapping in their early career?
I'm sorry to hear that. My condolences.

Maybe this is more to do with the production than the rhymes, tho?

And to be fair, In the End is probably their best single, but there are way more interesting rock groups in the mainstream in my opinion right now.

oh certainly daniel -- the point is people who aren't c.i.fx. don't find the "bad rhyming" a barrier to enjoying a great synthpop song! "i cant like this it has bad rhymes" is only raised as a piece of pseudocriticism by people who hate fun on general principles.

LP and all bands that are like them are total trash. i await the 3 yr turn around when they're fans get a little older and start dissing them madly once they discover that there's stuff that doesn't suck quite as badly. LP ARE THE NEXT 311!
(without the cure cover to make them money...)
and BTW- what self-respecting hip-hop type would dare admit (unless completely wasted) that LP have even a shred of worth??!it's funny, cause, i talked to some DJ's who think that it's lamer than indie/drone rawk.
yr hip-hop experts must be what, 13?

I disagree completely. Not only the rapping, but both of their pre-pubescent whinning. Shit, if they actually did drop the "I'm so angry" schtick and made a song that was just fun and synth pop, I'd love it.

I have a feeling that in two years' time it will be painfully uncool - verboten, even - to write the kind of faux-angsty lyrics that groups like Linkin Park and Evanesence (sp?) specialize in.
― Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Sunday, 25 July 2004 17:12 (nineteen years ago) link
this is a bad thing?
And the rapping reminds me of the raps they used to have done by anonymous guys on big dance hits in the early 90s
Girls are all over the worldthey hope and pray and die for menLike me cause I'm the onebegotten son that breaks the moldGet a look at male epitomeStyle has never seenThat makes you want to grab and holdand squeeze real tightWho's gonna be the one to saveyou from yourselfWhen you wanna take a biteplease oh baby pleaseYou beg you want to stayYou got to get some caughtUp in the charm that I laid on thickAnd now there's nowhereto runjust another fish to fit theworm on the hook of my lineYeah I keep many femaleslonging for a chance to win my heartwith S-E-X and plenty

Also, i like how in their album sleeve on the inside it says "Linkin Park Wears..." followed by a list of several clothing brands. heh.
Now I wish Linkin Park would add that chick who did the background vocals for "Everybody Dance Now" to their lineup and they would be thegreatest band on earth.
AGREED.

Also a good reason to set aside prejudice and rediscover. I’ve been listening to plenty of linkin park in the last 6 months and kicking myself for not having done so earlier― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx),
i loved this post as it hit home for me.hope LO has checked out 'a thousand suns' as its really really good.
