NY Times Bullshit Review

[FireHawk]

I hate to say it.

And it kills me

inside to say it.

but eh. i have to

strongly disagree

ive listened to at

least 6 bands.

 

I agree with Azk and yes I listen to over 5 bands...

Yeah it's everybody's own opinion if you like it or not

No,this is the worst review I've seen.

yeah someone's life sucks pretty bad. he doesn't even have his facts straight.

 

The concept of rap n rock together once was good

 

then the wave of bands such as Limp Bizkit and Papa Roach came along with about as many ideas as a tennis ball with a serious head injury.

when it was just stuff like Rage it was good

 

The problem is nu-metal became generic heavy heavy distortion playing the same chords over and over and (in LB's case) non-sense lyrics that made less sense than me running around playing guitar and singing about how my boner get even more erect when ever I see a dog and the taste of concert is good all in one song...

it's all too much been the case. too many bands have just played something simple with power chords and heavy distortion or overdrive to make it sound heavy. like they're not realizing there's other ways to combine rap and rock. bands like korn and flipsyde have done different things though.

What a strange review... lol!!!

[Stllmn8j]

Review is absolutely right no matter how hard you all deny it. you'll understand one day when you listen to more than 5 bands

 

I've got at least 75 on my comp...so your usual arguement tactics aren't going to work here

[azemkamikaze03]

its wierd to. they keep on saying LP stayed the same when they clearly changed.

[FireHawk]

well technically they haven't changed a whole lot its still pretty repetitive, and lyrics are just a bit more mellow...

[azemkamikaze03]

sounds wise they have

Sorta agreeeeeeeee though im sure most people listen to more then 5 bands!

 

Im not sure how many i have on my pc but its at least a couple hundered

[LP_Soldier]

Yeah, I listen to a crapload of different bands. Linkin Park just happens to be my absolute favourite. And I also happen to love the new album. I know a lot of people don't like it, but that's just their opinion. And, even though it'd be nice if everyone liked it, we can't go shoving our opinions down other people's throats. But, I mean, there's always going to be contrasting opinions about everything.

[Hahninator]

I listen to an insane amount of bands and I've never heard a review that bad.

 

Jesus christ whoever wrote that review needs to be fucking pwned in the face lol

 

LP? emo? I wonder if you guys really want me to repost Astat's LPU pwnage 'LP Isn't Emo' post of the decade/flame ^_^ lol

[Friðbjörn]

people stating that they do listen to more than 5 bands doesn't help their cause lol

 

 

pwned in the face...lol love that expression

and I would like to see that post

[xXMelancholiaXx]

LP? emo? I wonder if you guys really want me to repost Astat's LPU pwnage 'LP Isn't Emo' post of the decade/flame ^_^ lol

Well the entire concept of emo has been shredded and misused to the point where not a lot people know what it really is anymore.

I can see lots of critics or reviews put LP as a trash, emo, trying_to_be_different_without_success, garbage, worst thing ever. A LOT of critics... That's not a coincidence. I guess that 9 "very bad" reviews comes to 1 "good" review. And I agree to most of the critics. In my opinion, this album is the worst thing they could offer to themselves and lots of older fans. Yeah, i know you all won't agree with me...well...

[azemkamikaze03]

yea, gimmie a good read le mark

[xXMelancholiaXx]

I feel the exact opposite and I don't think Linkin Park should be too concerned about older fans. Considering that they've moved on to something else.

That's a good point Some fans stay, some fans go.. just how it goes in the music industry

its thoes "older" fans that got them the record sales they did

[LÎnkinPärkExtreme]

Nothing stopping new fans to do the same!

[azemkamikaze03]

new fans = the downloading generation

thoes kids dont buy cds like us

[mrsrobourdon]

i honestly dont think they have even heard the fuckin cd.

i think they looked at the cd and said "lets rip on lp"

idiots.

[LPShinodaFM]

new fans = the downloading generation

lol that's so true. I downloaded all the LP songs before I bought anything. But then I bought Hybrid Theory. I would get Meteora some day.

See that's just it. Everybody is concerned about selling records. That's why I don't like mainstream rock that's the only thing that counts to people. It's about making music they're passionate about. If they're not into making what they did before then they have the right to move on. It shouldn't be about them making fans happy. It should be about them making music that makes them happy.

yea thats the idealistic way to think.

 

but see if they didnt worry about fans they wouldnt sell if they didnt sell theyd be unsigned

if they were unsigned things would be VERY different.

 

obviously they are happy with what they make but the usual main point of being in a band is to hit some sort of known status and gathering up fans that love ur music.

Well see you have bands like that, and then you have bands that don't care about that type of stuff. They make the type of music they like, and if you don't like it don't come to the concerts or buy the albums. You also have to take into consideration that while they maybe losing old fans (who have become disgruntled fans) they may also gain new ones they didn't have before.
