How did they go from the biggest band in every middle school/high school to a complete fucking cringefest that even a 12 year old would cringe at
I'd rather take I'VE BECOME SO NUMB than this shit

I don't even know senpai
It's like making an fps that's a cod clone
no one even likes actual cod these days

Linkin Park was objectively better than all other bands that 12 year olds listen to now.
>>71098300
Linkin Park were always shit. Most people shared the same sentiment when the album in OP's post was released.
Its fucking shit, nothing more to say. Even Kiiara has better songs than this. I am really curious if band like this, just sits in the studio, they record this "song" and say, wow its amazing we are putting it on our next album... holy FUCK. People are right that this is not Linkin Park, some retarded pop remix. I even liked the new track that they did with Steve Aoki, it was not the best but it was bearable and I could listen to it. This is just pure shitfest

They're trying to stay relevant. Their 'We're getting heavy now' album was a massive failure so now they're trying to swing back the other way and emphasize the pop side again like a lot of old rock bands are doing. I don't think it's a bad song, it's just a horrible Linkin Park song. Try the new Bush song if you want something that completely fails on all fronts, both as a lead single from a rock band's new album and just as a pop single in general:

What is everyone talking about in there in regards to LP's Facebook explanation for this direction. What was their explanation?
>>71100940
ugh
meteora is peak nu-metal. their first two albums are hard as hell
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THIAGpcYpCQ
Underrated
>>71100940
that single made me actually appreciate a song like Glycerine
>>71099978
What do 12 year olds even listen to nowadays?
>>71101624
21 Pilots, Melanie Martinez, My Chemical Romance, Trap and some EDM
>>71101640
Do kids still listen to MCR?
They haven't been relevant since the mid 2000s goth scene
>>71098300
They were actually a good band and were masters at combining rap and rock like in here: https://youtu.be/OnuuYcqhzCE
This new single is not linkin park, it is a shitty attempt at making a poppy techno song with a copypasted singer that sounds the same as anything else.
Was Linkin Park stealth-patrician this whole time?
>>71101873
take the linkin pill
>>71098300
Which Radiohead or Coldplay song is that piano lifted from, I know I've heard that a million times
>>71101873
I mean, it kinda seems like yes. The amount of positive posts about their early work is just astounding.
Also ats > all

>The amount of positive posts about their early work is just astounding
Because a lot of people posting here listened to them in middle school/high school. They were never good, but a lot of us still grew up with them.
Linkin Park was never actually that great, but their dj mr hahn was the single greatest thing to happen to hip hop.
>>71101640
MCR > Linkin Park
>>71102065
This desu.
>>71102065
Hard to disagree
>>71102065
>They were never good, but a lot of us still grew up with them.
That could apply to literally every single popular band
>>71102442
sorry dude linkin park is pretty shitty
>>71098300
Thats a radio bait song if ive ever heard one
>>71102065
>They were never good
>>71102065
>they were never good
Does being contrarian make you cool? Should i try and be a contrarian too?
>>71098300
What the fuck happened
They could have had a legacy, regardless of what that legacy was
And then they decided to make this shit and completely sell out
The animation in the video is cool tho
>>71102457
I bet you listen exclusively to /mu/core
>>71102511
>>71102538
Truth is often hard to swallow
>>71101940
Sounds like Mirror by Lil Wayne ft Bruno Mars

Pierce the Veil
Meteora should be /mu/core. I would vote for that. Then it would lose its edgy label and become the cool album for contrarians like yourself

this is a good song (Tbh)))
>>71104286
Yup (one of their only good songs)
