Sorry, I spent alot of time writing this and it may be inappropriate
If your going to crticise something you should at least back it up & not sound like your hating on certain music because its the fashionable thing to do, I get lots of backlash for what I say but I believe I am at least fair and do fairly examine the content a band provides.
It was a very pointless and out of context topic placed in a very inconvinient spot. Most of you guys are doing rubbish counter points, seriously deffend the band if you think they are good, your sort of letting him win without one valid point braught up.
I would like to back up his points in a more mature manner
Linkin Park do rely heavily on the powerchord structure, many of the song structures are identical to each other and they do rely heavily on feedback to mask any lack of variety or skill. For what they do, which is being a mainstream introduction band for people curious of rock and alternative music or casual listeners of music that don't want to listen to something with deeper meaning, relevance or intelligance amongst it or don't have the time to seek out genuinley good Mosh or Pop music.
At the end of the day LP are pretty much your bog standard mainstream rock band, techniqually they are rubbish and they are about as deep as a pot of fromage frais and are just light entertainment, of course people proclaiming them as the best band in the world are wrong and people proclaiming them the worst band in the world are wrong.
They have a couple of semi-interesting songs & Hybrid Theory was quite well recieved until the inevitable Nu-Metal backlash arrived where people now avoid it like the plauge. They do have moments where they do show some potential of growing or evolving, or they used to, their last album was such a forced stab at maturity that they pretty much are becomming a parody of them selves.
Also I think the topic maybe should of stayed open a bit longer, the forums do need a lively debate & I know you shouldnt have to deffend a band on a forum dedicated to a band but sometimes it's this sort of time where your appriciation of a band can grow when you realised what makes them special, saying what makes them special can open a whole new level of appriciation of what they do.
