Where to start here. Linkin Park was the reason I got into music, and rock. I still hold Hybrid theory to be a pretty good album, and one of the best nu-metal albums ever made. So why the 1.5 Linkin Park. Simply, this record is absolute garbage. Track after track of amazingly dumb lyrics, boring guitar lyrics and lame teenage angst. It has a few moments that are passable, Mike Shinoda shows that he doesnt suck on "Hands Held High", but the song is brought down a notch when it just doesn't end.
I would die happy if i never heard anything from this album again |
