Granted, I probably prefer Meteora, HT and ATS to this, but I do come back to it semi-regularly, especially at the gym. I appreciate it’s probably a niche market but I’m very much appreciative of the early 90s alt metal sound here, Page Hamilton features and all.

I’m a Meteora and HT fan but A Line in the Sand is literally a perfect song

I haven't listened to this in ages, but this was the only linkin park album that I was *there* for when it came out. All the hype about it being their return to heavy music and shit
Good times

it's an apocryphal work, impossible to confirm or deny its contents as linkin park, though it stands in stark contrast to the rest of the canon, so most historians disregard it

I see. Well, that's some solid reasoning I can get behind

I remember hating this album when it came out. I wanted an extension of Living Things, and got something completely leftfield from that. I wanted more of their grinding-yet-shiny alt-metal guitar tuning, more hip-hop beats and turntables like the good old days, and more pretty synths like on Living Things. I thought that'd be the next logical step.
They threw away basically all of those elements besides a few buried synths here and there. They embraced a rougher, uglier guitar tuning with purposely muddy production. There's like one turntable segment that's quiet as a whisper on All For Nothing. And while enthusiastic, I likened Rob's performance to a disabled child throwing a tantrum, and just wanted him to keep a damn beat.
But now in retrospect I realize this album is lit. The prod isn't bad, it's pointedly lower fidelity on some parts and higher on others in a way that makes things pop. The drums and guitar leads are hype as hell whenever they coalesce. The ugly tuning is beautiful in its own way, like a pug, or bulldog, or Pontiac Aztek, and within the context of the song structures works better than pretty much anything else they could've used. If it got caught up in hiphop-isms or used too many synths or had more pristine prod, it just wouldn't work. Everything is in its right place and does what it needs to do to be effective.
Glad I gave it a fair shake instead of being stubborn.

All For Nothing is one of my favourite LP songs which is fucking wild because there’s basically no Chester on that one lol

But yeah Firebug this one does what it says on the tin - comparatively grittier, back to basics, 90s influenced melange of rap metal and alt rock which purposely tones down the industrial and EDM influences.

So this merged with Living Things is what we're getting next?
