it lends credibility to continuing the project + the band has always been about da haterz

Album Rating: 5.0

true and true but really? to the point where it just seems egregious in the context of moving on without Chester? just seems like a slap in the face to the previous vocalist to me, and like sure I could see Chester looking down and being proud of them for having that attitude but also Emily of all people would make him raise an eyebrow imo

oh u know he would be fuming

he'd be writing songs about her

yeah I just feel a general lack of respect with From Zero and it's media

comin' at'chu from every side

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off

Shinoda should get a decent amount of credit for the early Linkin Park sound, he has always been the main songwriter



It's true that without Chester, the band could have never achieved even a modicum of the success they achieved with him, but I think it was a case of both Shinoda and Chester having good chemistry and bringing the best out of each other.



I don't think any of their individual output ever came close to having the same effect

i always thought breaking the habit was this bands best song

I do like that one. The anime music vid is fun.

Breaking the Habit bangs. One of the few nu metal bands I can dig (at least the first 2 records)

Album Rating: 4.0

Breaking the Habit is for sure top 10, probably top 5. Not sure if it is my all time favourite but it honestly might be as well.

Album Rating: 4.0

I remember that music video blowing my mind when I was about 12 haha

Album Rating: 4.5

The instrumental track for Breaking the Habit brought me to tears after Chester died. The strings section is gorgeous.

Faint is my favorite LP song… and this is one of my favorite Bond movies. If this is a coincidence that’s wild but still very cool, if not it’s crazy that I didn’t know one of the most iconic rock songs of the century samples one of my favorite movies ever.

I will always love the intro for Somewhere I Belong

Album Rating: 4.0

Agreed

Somewhere I Belong is probably their best song

That last I can’t feeeeeeel might be my favorite Chester moment ever.

The pause in the bridge followed by "I WILL NEVER BEEEEEEEEEE" broke my young mind. Had that shit on non-stop repeat just to hear that bit over and over again.
