Bleed_It_Out729

Yeah, so most of us agree that the video wasn't that great but come on. I've seen worse music videos. You can't blame the bad vid on Talinda because Chester was with her when they made What I've Done and that was a pretty good video if I do say so myself. BIO wasn't that terrible of a video either. I think that we're all saying that we didn't like it because it didn't exactly live up to our expectations of how we imagined it might be. We can't expect them to keep their same old style of singing and guitar playing and whatnot though. That's what we love about them; they're different in their songs. They're different from all the other rock bands out there. Sometimes different is good. Would you like it if every song they sang or every video they did was the same as the last one? I wouldn't.

Hmmm.. apparently I'm the only person on the board that disagrees. I watched Live Earth and saw Linkin Park play and I thought they were good. Those of you knockin on Chester... maybe he doesn't sound like he did before but c'mon. Did you really think he was going to stay the same? I honestly thought he sounded great at Live Earth. I know it was some time ago but he sang great at Projekt Revolution '04 and I just think that his voice hasn't really changed that much since then.

When I first saw 30 Seconds To Mars' video The Kill and I saw Jared Leto, I was thinking, "wow, he looks too familiar." I looked him up on imdb and found out where I saw him before. Panic Room Fight Club Girl, Interrupted Alexander He has his fair share of acting experience. I think that's pretty cool that he can sing and act instead of just one or the other.

It probably has to do with whatever country you live in. Different words mean different things to people who live in two different countries. If you don't like them, just don't listen to me then

Some of us are saying how they want Linkin Park to put out the same kind of HT/Meteora music. Their old stuff is great and all, but maybe it is also great that not every single song sounds like Crawling or Don't Stay. A change in style is good because it shows that they could go different ways with their songs and they have a sense of creativity. If every song sounded like the last, would you really want to keep listening to them? By broadening their creativity and style of music, I think that it makes me like LP even more. They're not like Simple Plan where every song sounds the same as the last. I know how I was saying before how this CD wasn't my favorite but the more I listen to it and its lyrics, the more I begin to like it and let it grow on me. Linkin Park's music is open-minded and definately shows its originality, and that's what turns me on to them so much.

Well apparently not everyone knows what a tosser is. People are saying that tossers are wankers and that tossers are perverted things, so whatever.. Yeah, I concur; it is kinda funny :thumbsup:

The Tossers is not a dirty name, nor are they trying to get away with it even if it was. They named themselves a pejorative term that some trace back to Shakespeare; depending on who you ask, it means commode, drunk, or the currency of Britain rejected when the Irish established their independence in the 1920s. So there you go.

Hands Held High definately isn't my favorite on MTM. In fact, I hardly can say that I liked it. It's the exact kind of song that I hate to listen to. It's political. I personally don't believe that singers should sing about the war and political everything. They need to stay out of the spotlight in the aspect and just sing. Linkin Park doesn't need to sway in that direction and be like every other rock group out there that bashes Bush and the Iraq war. I understand that they're speaking their opinion and in the U.S., you have Freedom of Speech and expression but of all bands, LP should not be like that. I respected them for a long time because they weren't not like with Hybrid Theory and Meteora. I was in the mindset of "hey, these guys are great. They don't get involved in politics. They're not like the other musical artists." LP needs to stick to what they've been singing about before: home life, relationships, experiences good and bad, and living. I'm not republican or democrat. I'm in the middle because I can swing both ways sometimes depending. I may not agree with the war, but I honestly can't say that I'm totally for it either. But this is a different story. Hands Held High didn't turn me off from the whole cd or anything. I just wasn't too fond of the political hate in it. I never thought that Linkin Park would stoop to this. I understand that they are speaking their opinions, but still. They could sing their opinion about things they used to and not be like all the other anti-war singers out there (i.e. Dixie Chicks, Greenday, etc). I'm not going to protest or boycott MTM or not buy any of their future albums. It's just my preference of the songs that I enjoy listening to. That's cool if you like that song though. Of course it's all matter of opinion. I think it's one of those songs that you either love or that you hate. There's no "in-between."

If you enjoy the music of Flogging Molly or the Dropkick Murphys, then you'll like The Tossers. They're an Irish folk/punk rock n' roll band. They have a new cd out right now called Agony but I prefer their previous cd The Valley of the Shadow of Death. In case you're interested, start out downloading the songs: - Late - A Criminal of Me - No Loot, No Booze, No Fun - Drinkin In The Day The Tossers, like Flogging Molly or Dropkick Murphys are a must-listen for all of you who like irish rock music :thumbsup:

Gradon - MTM is... it's interesting to say the least. At first I wasn't really fond of it, but it's growing on me now :thumbsup: ATLien - Oh god, I kind of new this question was going to be asked lol. Ummm.. hm. I *believe* it was along the lines of LP4Ever729. I'm not 100% positive since it was so long ago for me and I have the memory of a goldfish, but that might have been it. I'm sorry I can't remember it for ya, but thank you for welcoming me! It's good to be back

hey all. My name is Terra and I've been here before but it was years ago... about 2-3 to be exact. It took me awhile to realize how much I love this place so I've decided to come back. I've only seen Linkin Park in concert once, but it was effin amazing. I saw them at Projekt Revolution in '04 I think it was. The years are just flyin by! I've enjoyed listenin to Linkin Park's music since I was about 14 years old (I'm 18 now). I love writing LP fanfiction. If there's anything else you'd like to know about me, ask. x B_I_O x

I've been listening to the cd for about an hour an a half now. The first time I listened to the cd, I was just like, "meh, alright." I think the songs are growing on me though. I'm not too fond of the softer/lighter rock songs but most of them are alright. I don't regret buying Minutes to Midnight, but I prefer the old LP songs.
