new album will flop

[LPHybridSnax]

I am a huge Linkin Park fan, but I seriously feel like the new LP album won't be anything special and that it will sell less than the other two. After listening to their new style (ASP, QWERTY) I really don't feel like they will ever live up to what Hybrid Theory made them out to be. I'm sure LP fans will LOVE it nonetheless, and I hope I'm wrong, reallllllllly hope I'm wrong and this thing goes platinum, but I just don't see it happening if they stray away from nu-metal. I think everybody (including myself) either got, or is getting their hopes up just to watch the Bills lose the Superbowl again.

I see where your coming from, but i rekon ASP and Qwerty are nothing like the album material. There is a possibility it could flop, but i trust that linkin park will make another great album they must know what they are doing. I predict the album to be more melodic as they move away from the nu-metal scene which they have to because it is dying out. It must be something special if its taking this long to produce.

It's not going to flop...

 

and you know why?

 

because of us...the fans...

 

we make the difference...

 

I think the album is gonna be awesome...I love QWERTY and ASP...

 

but I think the album is gonna sound different from that

[LPHybridSnax]

since the internet selling music will never be the same, i don't think its possible to sell as many albums as hybrid did anymore, I didn't think that one through too much, if it's not a flop I still don't think it'll be better than hybrid was, probably meteora though. I just think that the instrumentals were what caught peoples attention and they said this album was more vocally driven and QWERTY just sounded like drums, bass, and guitar, unlike the crazy ass shit we're used to hearing from them with turntables, keyboards, and instruments people have never heard of, I'm waiting for them to kick ass with the bagpipes in a song still.

[Peterdea]

in my opinion, it wont flop!

[Rock Angel]

hell no !!! it's not ginna flop !! 'cause it's LP damnit!! no matter what they sing

 

it's gonna ROCK!!! and every one is going to love the new albom

 

and i can tell you dude you'r WRONG !!! so don't you worry about it

hahahaha

what if they decide to stop using vocals and modern instruments and start playing stone age stuff?

will you like them then?

hahaha that'd be hularious!

[Sygy]

i couldnt agree more with your statement.

this is bc they dont really have fans anymore, this is bc they were dormant for too long and everyone just simply lost interest. and i agree Qwerty isnt that amazing, i thought it was mediocre and lack lustre

omg why do you say such a thing?!!

 

but heloooo as long as mike is going to play the stone age stuff i'm gonna love it

 

but hey !!! that's not gonna happen *right??!! )

Exactly how I feel so I dont think I'm goin to bother with it.

Just wait a while and see if a friend gets it see how it is

and see if it's worth my time of gettin or just not bother with it.

Guys.. Stop judging the fucking album before its release.

If you want to judge, give your opinion do it when the album is actually out.

until then this thread is pointless, IMO

We'll just have to wait & see.

I TRUST lp, i know they wont disappoint us.

[chaz-girl-fanatic1730760665]

like tomer said...let's wait...and hope

[Linkin_lp_park]

It's not going to flop, imo lp knows what they are doing, and it will not sound like Qwerty, just wait till it comes out, then give your opinion

Hail to those words of Jeezy... +Rep

[Jeezy]

Hail to those words of Jeezy... +Rep

thank you.... :thumbsup:

[FireHawk]

I could easily see a flop unless they actually do change from nu-metal

[donbyers]

Me tinks if they dont change then it'll flop on the mainstream, but tbh id quiet happily buy and love something similar, we, the real fans will lap it up

[FireHawk]

i agree with don byizzle

This thread isn't pointless because I'm not judging something nobody has heard yet. I'm saying I think people are getting their hopes up about something they have no idea what it sounds like, if QWERTY was a hint then Linkin Park will lose some old fans and gain a some new fans because it's a completely different genre. I will probably buy the album just to see what Linkin Park was talking about, but I don't think I will listen to it as many times as I did with Hybrid Theory.

Well see I don't know if you've noticed this but bands are starting to distance themselves from the Nu Metal label (Disturbed, Deftones, Papa Roach etc) I'm not saying this is the jusfitication for Linkin Park's sudden change in style. Personally I'm GLAD they're are distancing themselves from Nu Metal because the general conseus is that Nu Metal, putting it lightly isn't a very good style of music. But I will give Linkin Park credit as they were good at that what they did. Also now correct me if I'm wrong Meteora didn't sell as good Hybrid Theory but yet Meteora was in the same style yes? I think maybe they're just changing with the times the whole Nu Metal boom is over or it's dying off. But still I mean wait until the album comes out before you start jumping to conclusions.

Yeah well I'm no fan anymore....dont think I ever really w3as

I just really liked their music but I've been listenin to other genres

And thats why I said that I'm goin to wait for a friend and see if t's worth gettin.

 

and I agree with xXMelancholiaXx

Same here. I listen to a lot of genres mostly Metal (Black Metal, Gothic Metal, Death Metal etc). I remember not to long ago I really hated Linkin Park and the only song I liked was Faint. I guess I liked it enough to give them another try and I ended up liking them a lot for a while. Then it just went away. I don't know I guess I just got bored with them.

yeah same Kinda got bored of listenin to the same old stuff over and over...

so I cut down on it I still listen to'em and like'em but not as much as a year ago.

as Clogz or someone said before

All the fans are maturing and movin on to diffrent genres.

 

and That I hope it doesnt go all that bad

I still wanna hear some good songs that i like from'em

I'm kinda excited for the new album but at the same time.

I don't really care it's kinda hard to explain.

Exactly. The tastes of fans mature all the time. People should also take into consideration that the bands taste in music changes as well. Maybe they got tired of that style of music and wanted to change. It's typical and it's happens all the time with numberous bands. I guess the people who listen to Linkin Park are getting their first taste of it. I know it's a bitter taste because a few of my favorite bands, "Dir en grey and Lacuna Coil" did a Linkin Park as well. So I mean bands change. Some fans will like it some will become disgruntled, some will just stop listening to them. But in all seriousness I know people can complain about it but at the end of the day it comes down to, if you don't like their style of music don't listen to it. I mean it's not like you can't enjoy their old stuff. O.o
