Because it's generic. It draws complete influence from Cold play and Incubus. Two highly played radio bands. People like what's on the radio for the most part.. Even though half will not admit it.

Actually making money or having a fan base doesnt make Linkin Park generic. Complete infulence from Cold Play? I must have missed the rapping over dj beats when I quickly flipped through X&Y last time.

Whats more annoying that people who wont admit they like whats on the radio? Those who hate anything mainstream for just the sake of bitching and trying to come out as original for liking some no name undeground band they read up on in their last edition of guitar weekly.

That Particular song was drawn from the Cold play Incubus stream.

Hmm...that's interesting. And by interesting I mean retarded.

Linkin Park was formed in 1996 - Coldplay in 1998. Both released their first records in 2000. Did Linkin Park travel to the future to become influenced by Coldplay?

And I don't even want to get started on how Linkin Park doesn't sound like Incubus. They both use guitars and drums, if that's what you're getting at. Oh! And they both have singers!

Opinions. You have yours, keep them yourself. kthnxbye

CD is leaked... just listened through it a couple times and I dunno.... I tend to not like new CD's the first couple times I listen through them but so far its nothing special and I really dont like it

Please dont PM me asking where to get it cause I dont' have a frickin clue haha.

[jay42w8]

dammit I think I dl'd another fake...Valentine's Day is actually My December fuck where is the leaked version?

[88CRX]

I'm starting to think this isn't the real leaked version either.

It sucks.

[ken-gsr]

[HyperZell]

Click on 'Preview' to, well, preview the tracks.

EDIT: Link is down. But man, did some of that stuff sound good!

[Grip172]

the cd was such a let down

[88CRXGUY]

I think that there are some good songs on this album that I previewed. I wished that there was some harder songs in here, this album seems to be alot softer then Meteora. For me the verdict is still out but when the album comes out and I listen to it fully I will make my decision then. I don't think this is the new sound they were talking about, I'm just happy finally they are coming out with a damn album.

Awesome single "What I've Done", the video was a bit different than what I was expecting. I was thinking more of a personal/individual level as opposed to world leader level. The political/social atrocities theme is not the most original but I guess it's good that someone do it for each generation.

I'll disagree. I like this single because to me it stands out above the average of what's currently in the mainstream (I haven't heard the album yet). I like Incubus and Coldplay (I didn't like X&Y) as well but I don't hear them in Linkin Park.

Personally I like music, mainstream or not, because to me it sounds good not because other people like it. Being Indy doesn't make music 'good'.

Linkin Park is good

[Redlyne_mr2]

Im pretty pumped.. when my mr2 was first finished 5 years ago they released their first album I cruised to that cd all summer. Now that my cars almost done again they are dropping this album.. sort of has some meaning

[Zephyr]

Just got the legit album...it's quite different...it doesn't catch on as fast as the other albums...i'm a bit worried for them.

[carter_prelude]

I LOVE the new CD

deffinitly NOT like the old stuff though...I dunno, i tihnk the new style is more main stream sounding and will be played on the radio so im not too worried, the hard core fans may be a little disapointed though.

Of course it will take some time for it to grow on you

I think Leave Out All The Rest and Shadow Of The Day will be the next 2 big songs by them on the radio in a few months

[88CRX]

Lots of slower songs

But I'll have to listen through the entire CD a couple more times before I make a decisions if I like it or not.

'No More Sorrow' & 'Given Up' & 'Bleed it out' are awesome songs. However I could do without all that damn clapping in the background.
