Linkin Park's new song, "What I've Done"

[AJB4]

Which is why they failed, incorporating hip hop and rock is like putting a lion and a tiger together. Doesn't work, the end result is a band with songs that are forgotten a year later.

Errr, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers do it all the time - it's called 'Funk rock', or so I thought.

[NightCrawler13]

thats cause its Mtvs Greatest Mash-ups...its mashed up duh !

aha the man speaks the truth !
only thing is i dont know what its called
yahoo would play them on rap rock..so i dont know

 

[SparkyMaddie]

You asked on this thread about the new song. I give it a thumbs up. I am just waiting to see what the rest of the cd sounds like.

 

[NightCrawler13]

i guess so .....im going to buy it...just not this month

The rapper hasn't left. He had his own side project but he didn't leave - he didn't feature on "What I've Done" but he hasn't left. He'll be on other songs, no doubt.

Mike actually sings more on this album that he did in the other ones.

I know what you mean. It's a good song and all but it wears thin after a few listens.

When I'm worn out on a certain song (which happens a lot) I stick it out until radio are done with it, then a few months later, I'll hear it again, and it will sound really good.

LP kinda did what Papa Roach did a few years back by changing styles from nu-metal/rap-core to alternative rock. PR did an awesome job at switching over and are now better than ever but I'm not sure what to expect from LP. "What I've Done" wasn't half bad, better than pretty much all of their other songs, with the exception of 1 or 2.

 

[Aces High]

Over at the Megadeth and Metallica forums some REAL METALHEADS were taking interest, which is a good sign.

Nu-Metal is rubbish

 

[Tinkerbell33]

I wasnt sure at first...but it grew on me, and now I enjoy listening to it. The beginning of it sounds a bit like Numb, and I dont like Chesters new image, but overall i like the song because I can relate to it.

If you like the sleek production and concise and simple songwriting of Linkin Park, perhaps you should check out Katatonia's The Great Cold Distance. These guys have evolved from a rather brutal doom metal band (which I personally loved too) into an alternative rock band with a lot more commercial aspects, but still retaining their instrumental skill, dark atmospheres, and originality.

I was rather impressed with the song. I like the new sound and the new theme/feeling behind the lyrics.

 

[Lludmila]

To be honest, I quit liking Linkin Park after Hybrid Theory. I like its poetic lyrics (as opposed to the "one song for each issue teens today face" approach Meteroa seemed to present).

I did like Reanimation, too, but all the newest stuff reeks of Meteora to me......

 

[JonnytheMarq]

I thought it was pretty good. Haven't heard the rest of the album but I hope it's like this song is.

 

[Controverse]

I would like it if they went back to nu metal and the singer guy started screaming again.

 

[RJAZ]

Chester has my respect (being an Arizonian too) . His voice on this cd is pushed to the limits at times. I imagine this is a new road for LP. Hoping though they keep it real and keep it up.
