ATS is very underrated, incredibly interesting record

Album Rating: 3.0

ATS is their best

Besides that, the Hybrid Theory EP and Reanimation are cooler than any of the band's other LPs tbh

ATS is far from their best, sure it's different but that doesn't make it an excuse



it's not their worst though, I'll say that.

Hybrid Theory is great. A perfect 40 minute piece of angsty nu-metal that's cheesy, but not Limp Bizkit-tier cheesy. I can appreciate that.



Meteora to me is just Hybrid Theory Pt. 2. A great album, but literally no progression from its predecessor.



Minutes to Midnight was a surprising departure that held a few good tracks, but ultimately underwhelmed me.



A Thousand Suns is a fantastic record that suffers from 2 or 3 filler tracks, but tells a very interesting story and is also their most mature album up to that point.



Living Things is the biggest piece of shit they've ever released as a full-length LP.



The Hunting Party is their most mature, rock oriented album that thankfully threw all the electronic transformers circlejerking out and simply went back to riffing, hard rapping, and overall good song structure.



Excited for the future.

nah it suffers from way more than 2 or 3

None of the tracks on ATS are filler... They forward the story and bring up motifs that are important to the overall listening experience

There's no story to ATS at all, if anything it's a political statement that war is bad. Yeah it's a concept album but concept doesn't automatically mean there's a "story" to tell.

Album Rating: 4.5

It's my interpretation of the album that there's a sort of "story" in it. It's essentially a timeline of chemical warfare from the atomic bomb in WWII, then the Vietnamese War, and then modern times

Minutes to Midnight is better than Hybrid Theory but nowhere near Meteora.

Album Rating: 3.0

Why should some instrumental tracks on ATS automatically be regarded as filler? What's wrong with wanting to create a consistent body of work that works best as a WHOLE, as opposed to a bunch of songs thrown together? The 'filler' tracks are there to establish the mood of the album and keep things from moving along too quickly. That is all.

Album Rating: 3.0

But if a track can't stand well on its own, if its entire purpose was basically to say (hey, this bridges together two far superior tracks) what's the point?

I really need to get around to reviewing MTM.

That way I won't have to keep arguing about how it's better than Hybrid Theory.

i mean, i barely like any linkin park album outside of select songs and novelty... but???

novelty

Hybrid Theory: Catchy and consistent, but also consistently shaky. Cleans where nowhere near the level that they needed to be, and it wasn't a very varied album.

Minutes to Midnight: Top notch vocal performances, great instrumental variety with well placed experimentation, etc

Need I go on?
