In the end, it doesn’t even matter
Meteora was also a decent album. I stopped listening after that. Hybrid Theory is something else though. Reanimation was also dope
Meteors was fantastic! But yes, after that, it kinda fell off.
I really liked minutes to midnight. A lot more introspective and mature.
I listened to the first three albums (inlcuding reanimation) obsessivley when i was a kid. I think those and the live in texas album are the only cds i still own, for nostalgias sake. Ive recently been going over the albums ive missed though and though they arent start to finish bangers like the old ones, theres some really good songs still.
They had some solid songs after this, but I kinda feel that this is where the downfall started to happen as they moved away from the angry, angry stuff and towards more of a rock sound.
I found the formula got a bit old after a while. The lyrics felt more profound in the beginning, but after a while it just felt like it was throwing synonyms for feeling bad in very similar tracks.
Song is 24 years old maybe the meme need to be updated. Me at 39
He surely doesn’t look 30. More like a 15 yo’s concept of 30.
Or 30, but with a meth addiction between ages 22 and 29.

Works for me, I’m 30. I discovered LP by going to my local library and renting the two CDs they had. Good times.
That’s probably the most wholesome thing I’ve read today.
This is what I was thinking (but the younger age is younger)
The lead singer really was dealing with something.
He tried so hard.
And got so far.
But in the end…
It didn’t even matter
When ‘Lost’ dropped, it really spoke to where I was emotionally at the time. Chester out here like “Even in death, I still serve.”
There are 30 year old Linkin park fans? I figured they were all 40 at minimum
30 year old LP listener reporting!
Never fails that about this time every year I give Hybrid Theory a listen. Had such an impact on me when it came out that it seems to have left a permanent mark on the change from summer to autumn for me.
Reanimation is also still awesome.
The same with me. But I’m 37. And in-between there were like 15 years when I thought it was crap.
I never thought it was crap, I also don’t think Nickelback is crap
I wasn’t really into the scream-singing, but Mike Shinoda’s raps are fire
I didn’t love them forever ago, but I rather like their new single “The Emptiness Machine”. I don’t follow music so I didn’t know they had lost their lead singer until yesterday. I heard the song and thought, “Linkin Park doesn’t have a woman for a lead singer….”
I still like the Jay-Z mashup album
Did you really need to repost this after less than a month?

Is this astro-turfing?
This shit bangs.
Replace the album with Green Days dookie and you have me! (Never mind the additional years…)
I never liked this band…
I’ve learned that some people are just wrong, and that’s okay. ❤️
You’re not allowed to dislike le epic band. You’re only allowed to dislike nickleback or the hivemind will lynch you.
I mean I don’t like the taste of Burger Kings burgers, but I don’t pull off the road when I see one and walk up to the counter to tell them. I think negativity always invites negativity, which on here starts around downvotes
They sucked 30 years ago, and they still do.
Cool story bro.
