the lyrics and atmosphere of carousel, and one and part of me are kinda like korn style, korn's depression has definatly had its influence on early linkin park songwriting. that's easy to understand, they had to look somewhere for inspiration before they finished shaping their own style. i like how they write and build up their songs a little bit similar to korn but somehow with their own style which since then has changed a lot. i'd personally like to hear more like ht ep from lp later on. so, i think carousel's kinda freaky but in a good way, that is. good work, lp!
