Is Linkin Park (Hybrid Theory) DeaD?

[Friðbjörn]

that's not what the person meant.

[DarknessLover]

That part of Linkin Park is dead, yes, but LP is still LP

How can it be dead if they still perform the songs live? :thumbsup:

[Friðbjörn]

it's dead when they say they're no longer numetal and say they want no part of it, and aren't gonna write songs like that anymore?

[DarknessLover]

Well I mean, when they go into the studios they don't have that part in them anymore...

[LÎnkinPärkExtreme]

Well I mean, when they go into the studios they don't have that part in them anymore...

Ohh ok, yeah I agree... But then again you never know what the next album will bring, But I don't think they will ever be like that again. :thumbsup:

[DarknessLover]

I hope they go more to Metal or something, not Nu-Metal, just Metal, or pure Heavy Rock, I don't like this passionate stuff too much, I like it, just not as much as the old stuff

[LPHybridSnax]

The concept the band had on the name "Hybrid Theory" wasn't combining rock and rap. It was about combining ALL different styles of music. The new album still has that, violins, cellos, banjos, all of that. So Hybrid Theory is just as alive now as it was when it was first created nine years ago.

[DarknessLover]

I agree to that but I think he meant Studio wise...just my thought

That's right! But a lot of people get confused about what style LP is so that's why they label them to a certain genre, and I'm sure they get sick of it haha

[littleblackstone]

Please don't tell me you like country?!! lol.. Cant stand that genre in music.. Imagen if Linkin Park were country you guys... now that's just scary... lol But like I said.. Hybrid Theory will always represent Linkin Park and how they became what they are now. :thumbsup:

 

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

MY GOD!! I was thinkin the same, but at another point of view..

Yesterday, when I was listening to Chester's voice, I was thinkin "Man, I really love this guy.. I mean, if he some day sing some country song, i think i'd love it just because his beautiful voice!!"

 

:lol: :lol:

 

But anyways...

I hope they go more to Metal or something, not Nu-Metal, just Metal, or pure Heavy Rock, I don't like this passionate stuff too much, I like it, just not as much as the old stuff

 

TOTALLY, COMPLETELY, ABSOLUTELY AGREED!!

I mean, when I heard say that LP wasn't the same, I thought they were becoming heavier.. but when i listen to the album, i was like disapointed, cause i never thought they'd make an album with so much "melancholic" songs...

 

on one hand, I miss the old LP, that LP made me jump, scream, break things... that LP wa an inspiration to me for all these years!!

but on the other hand, they grew up, they aren't those kids anymore... and of course I love their change, but it's just... it's not the way I was hoping..

 

Well, I think I'm gonna stop here, but I'm still a little bit confused about this "old LP and new LP" thing... it's still hard to me listening to them as LP.. I still don't know wich LP (old or new) I like more, but.. "in the end, it doesn't even matter!!" cause LP is LP and I WILL BE WITH THEM TILL I DIE!!

[DarknessLover]

Yeah you see I didn't get a huge shock from the album,since I had opened my music variety even more after Meteora, so when I head this album, it was just another album, but it's LP singing it. So I really didn't mind this album, but of course, the heavier songs are my favorites.

I guess I can kinda relate here. I do love the new album, it's just lacking more anger and energy.

 

And yes, the old LP/new LP thing is hell confusing.

Elvture <=( serioulsy LP have never not been mainstream (cept back in the day as HT and Xero) as it so happens the kids never really rated their indie efforts n loved the mainstream efforts. So yah =P LP have never been ground breaking Rock and Hip Hop have been co-insiding since the late 80's (Run DMC & Beastie Boys) the was even a SOUNDTRACK to Judgement Night which put Rap acts together such as Cypress Hill with EXPERIMENTAL ROCKERS Sonic Youth. So yah u cant even say experimental rock n rap have never been done before =)

[Friðbjörn]

I've never honestly heard much other real influence other than rap, rock (various styles of course), and electronic (again, various)

aside from maybe BTH and reanimation.

Yeah I've been hoping they go in a Heavy Metal or Metalcore-ish direction for a while. But I don't really think it's going to happen.

[Friðbjörn]

I think it would be cool to see. I mean LP has all the influences from all over (I mean from within electronics, rock and rap), so they could become this chameleon band, changing styles between albums etc, like they did for MTM

Actually, I could argue this statement... Linkin Park, in many of their interviews from around the time of as early as 99 all the to 2004, usually cited a balance of rock, rap, and electronic music, as opposed to everything, lol. It was only awhile after the end of Projekt Revolution that LP started talking about doing something completely different for their new album.

 

I also don't think LP envisioned an album quite like MTM when they were in the process of writing and recording Hybrid Theory EP.

 

But hey, these are all my idea's/theories.

 

Anyways, I love Minutes to Midnight. But I also love LP's old style as well. I grew up on it since the beginning of the new millennium almost seven years ago, and I do kind of miss it.

Oh... and I think in a way they were ground breaking. They really blew up the formula they used with two separate vocalists, one for rap, and one for singing. Selling over 38 million albums worldwide and 8 #1 Radio singles will get your sound to many more people than past efforts of Rock/Rap in the 80s.

 

Besides, I think there's more to it when its built that way from scratch as opposed to mashed together like the Cypress Hill and Sonic Youth thing you mentioned. Run-DMC and Beastie Boys sound is far different than LP as well. There is no band with the sound quite like LP.
