God awful. Almost as bad as Limp Bizkit and Korn.  |
Not even close to the Bizkit. Linkin doesn't sing about my way of the highway or my generation or crap like that. Just because they are popular and sell crap loads of records doesn't make them bad. If you bought the CD's, and really listened to them, and didnt think about their image, you know, its not really that bad. I aint proclaiming them to be the best musicians, songwriters or anything like that, but they make catchy ass songs and have variety in their stuff. Off Meteora, their last CD, their singles were Faint, Somewhere I Belong, Numb and Breaking the Habit. Not one of those songs sounds remotely the same, and Breaking the Habit was unlike anything they have done. Also on the CD, there's a track called Nobody's Listening, not my favorite song, but they use this old style Japanese flute type instrument and blend it with a pretty good beat to make a song that was totally original. Don't like them, that's fine, but they are nowhere near the same league as Bizkit.
And also, LP is amazing live, Chester can scream with the best of them, seen them 4 times. Can't wait for "Minutes to Midnight"!!!
