Linkin Park: No More Nu-Metal

[Phasewave]

qwerty was rather nu metalish, but they said it might not be on the album remember?

 

im kinda glad theyve changed a bit, i jsut hope they get a little more musically technical, cause im sick of people saying stuff like "Linkin park Suck, they just play in 4/4 and never do anything a basic guitarist cant do"

 

i liked rob's triplets on the kick drum in qwerty, i jsut hope the new album is a good listen

[Greyfoxx]

Nu-Metal is old news im bored of it as is most of the world. Its the best move they could have made.

i agree with ya matt, nu-metal is getting old fast, and honestly, i'm happy that they are moving on....that means they are better artist that dont have to stick to one type of music

[LP186]

I hope they wont dissapoint us. thats all i have to say for now.

i agree. it would be great to hear a "new sound" by LP

but their "old sound" has worked soo well

 

and bye bye double album idea, it was nice knowing ya

I wish genre labeling was never created. At least in the way it's used today. Most people don't even know what most genres really should sound like and everythings twisted now days. -_-

 

Like people say "omg [insert band name] is so emo... gross.." and then they listen to LP and say how cool they are. Has anyone ever read LPs lyrics? They're a bit on the emo side. "These wounds they will not heal". Seriously. And Breaking the Habit? Thought one of my favorite songs, it's got emo written all over it.

 

All these genre labels are so twisted now and every band can be called all these certain genres it's just so fucked up.

 

Sorry for my rant, I've had a bad day, and I'm really excited for the new LP album, and I don't care what the fuck the genre is... I just know it's going to be LP, and I'll most likely like it and play it to death.

Crawling = Emo

BTH = Not Emo

 

Crawling = bad song

BTH = good song

 

LP = not emo

MCR = emo

[Brkng_Th_Hbt]

Well I wasn't saying they're an actual emo band. But their lyrics suggest a bit of emo..ish.

[LP In The End]

That's very disappointing...hopefully Chaz doesn't know what he's talking about lol. Why fix something that's not broken? I'm okay with them changing some, but I hope they don't change completely.

[LP Expert Soldier]

First they said their album's gonna be dark, poppy or whatever it is. Then now Chester said it's a mix of punk and classic rock. This is so confusing =P I wonder how are the old fans going to accept their new "sound". And yes, I must say that I am dissapointed and shocked after reading the article, but I am rather pleased due to the fact that LP's going to try something new.

[aurora]

all i hope that there will be lots of screaming

 

I hope not!

 

I can't wait for the album to be released now... sounds interesting... I like the songs that they have now but what's the point of doing the same thing over again... it would be interesting to hear them do something else... I'm sure it would be good... (well... I hope so )

[Breakdown Conspiracy]

Everything fine wid me, but "punk" whoa..bad move LP.

[Phasewave]

i thought it was confusing when chaz said it would be dark, and full of screaming and heavy riffs, then a few weeks later, rob said it would be softer, with lots of piano and strings, then qwerty appeared, it was heavy and sort of "advanced" linkin park, then qwerty vanished and rumour says "it probably WONT be on the album", then chaz says the albums will be a mix of punk, old rock and hip hop lol.

[Hahninator]

yeah they keep changing it wtf lol.

[Peterdea]

if it isnt nu-metal, i still believe there will be hints of it throughout the album!

[azemkamikaze03]

It's obvious why they keep changing the style like one minute dark and poppy next its classic.

 

If they started off with 100 songs maybe in the begging they had more dark/poppy and then as they developed more music they decided to just trash thoes dark/poppy ones.

 

Qwerty had Rap, Heavy Riffs, and Screaming. Pretty numetal to me.

Qwerty was good too.

 

Numetal is far from dead. It's just sleeping. I strongly doubt LP ditched the whole Numetal scene. Sure it came from the belly of the beast that they did, but he also said it's definately a Linkin Park Cd so I mean Linkin Park is Numetal so I guess there will be tastes of it throughout the album. If anyone can bring it back it's Linkin Park. Numetal only seems dead(out played) is becuase lately all the bands have tried something new. Take Korn for instance an awesome band but they tried to be diffrent with See You On The Otherside and it really wasn't an absolutley awesome cd. Limp Bizkit well I mean lol. Slipknot is still pretty strong but they have been kind of out of the light since their last CD. POD plain out sucks now. Deftones are finnaly coming back so i mean their sound who knows how it'll be.

 

Anyways as long as they dont sound scene im happy

[diana]

Meh, I still say they never really were fuckin nu-metal...their sound is a freakin fusion of many styles...

I like what Chester said...and I like the fact that their music is different...hearing the same old shit would be so much boring! I think I'd completely quit them for it...now I maybe won't...

i had this whole thing written, and then i saw this, and dude, thats exactly what i was gonna say

I'm glad somebody agree with me...cuz I see not many are...

[Tomer]

I hope not!

You dont want chester screaming?

I cant imagine a LP album/Song without his screaming, it makes the song "alive"...

[Acezorz]

I'm not really bothered if they change 'genre' Besides, they don't really like to be labeled anyway, as long as it sounds like Linkin Park, i'm cool with it.

 

They like that.

 

But my friend heard that the new album will be a mix of Hardcore, Hip-hop and Pop.

 

Im glad about the Hardcore and Hip-hop, but Pop? Isn't that just short for Popular, anyone I reckon thats bullshit.

 

I'm kinda disappointed with the news, but as long as it sounds like Linkin Park, i'm happy

[LP In The End]

I agree with Tomer, I love Chester's screaming <3. Damn I'd die if there was no more screaming :'(

[Commander]

Punk? Classic rock? damn... I´m fine with that... well, that´s my kind of music.

 

i guess in two weeks there´ll be another interview with brad or rob and they will say "the album is gonna be more hiphop than the previous ones"

 

come whatever may, we´ll have to wait

[azemkamikaze03]

well I mean every band says they try to do things diffrent and expand on their music so that they arent just classified as one genre

[HaziLPTonz]

i dont think theyve crossed genres as such. theyre keeping the whole rap-rock thing bcoz its essentially WHO THEY ARE. i think its more or less quite a few of the songs have crossed other genres and as such LP cant be classified as EXCLUSIVLEY nu-metal

 

 

but in saying that, we ll just HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE, all you people whining wen u havnt even herd the new album yet, and qwerty isnt even a confirmed song on the album either

[azemkamikaze03]

Hazi, I figured I might aswell ask this somewhere despite the fact that this is off topic but r you a guy or girl?

[HaziLPTonz]

im a guy, why, do i sound girly on the forums? =/
