Many bands change their sound over the course time while still retaining their core sound. And also like others, I was greatly disappointed. Like others I had been anticipating this album since I first heard about Minutes to Midnight. Linkin Park Changing The Sound, Could Be Back To Core The blend of the entire band creates a similar style to LP as we know it without the rapping. Also, I figure that like one or two tracks I deemed unworthy on the predecessors, some of these tracks seem like they could just as well grow on me.įor the meantime, check out RED - End of Silence if you haven't already. The only reason it's a 3 star to me is I can't decide how low to go. I feel kinda bad saying this, but unless you liked "What I've Done", you probably should wait for the next release. I hope with the next release they can go back to the old days. I'm still a big fan of LP and will continue to be, but I must admit that their intent to sound different did not produce good results. But if they did write 50 songs for this album, I wonder how the other 40 or so were like. Valentines Day has a decent heavier part near the end but is still quite light and soft overall. In Pieces is an OK track in light of the band's past work. Some other tracks show promise and hints of the old style that endeared LP to the masses of us that rushed to get Meteora, like the intro track (Wake), Bleed it Out, No More Sorrow. It's got that old feel that distinguished LP from any other rock band. What I've Done is probably the only track in the album that still sounds like the old LP. If you remember jumping up and down to the LP songs of the old days, use these to put you to sleep at night.
I'm not even talking the peaceful serenity of the Easier to Run or In the End intro segments. Gone is the Points of Authority style headbanging except maybe that guitar solo part of What I've Done. This album lacks the heavyness that characterized its predecessors. I loved the heavy guitar riffs, the mix of rap + rock.
I loved every second of Hybrid Theory and Meteora. I like LP but this one doesn't quite make the cut!~
