How much longer will LP last?

[LpLunatic92]

Ever since M2M came out this question has been in my mind. M2M was good but not up to the standards we expected from the guys. Even though Mike has Fort Minor, Chester has DBS, and Joe is directing I don't think they will break up because their main focus is Linkin Park, but I don't know how their music will be in the next few years. If they don't do something way better on the new album then they're going to be considered shit. They have lost a lot of respect from M2M. What ever happend to the new album sounding like QWERTY. They stated that's what it would sound like. They were quite wrong. I think if they'd come out with an album with songs as hard as QWERTY they could get their respect back as musicians. What do you guys see for their next album and future as musicians?

[DarknessLover]

I swore they said the album would NOT sound like QWERTY?

[Linkin_lp_park]

Well I hope their next album is a more heavy album

And more than that I can't say, you never know how it goes

[Jeezy]

Well I hope their next album is a more heavy album

And more than that I can't say, you never know how it goes

 

Yeah I 2nd that

[GraDoN]

I think if they'd come out with an album with songs as hard as QWERTY they could get their respect back as musicians.

eh its the other way around, HT and meteora, although sweet, was very bad in a musicians eye because it was ,mostly power chords and stuff, same formula. Same as QWERTY.

They would get much more respect as musicians with MTM...

 

*edit* i really like all the ballads on MTM, and wont mind for more. I donno i dont like the heavy songs on MTM for some reason. Their not bad, but just not my style, i like joes scratches in hard songs :>

I guess you have a point there, but I miss the old stuff. It was heavier. I like soft songs but M2M had too many.

[Friðbjörn]

qwerty actually wasn't the same as the old songs. it was in some respects remniscant, because it follows I guess the same format, but it's still a quite different take on numetal than on the albums

i think they will make atleast 2 more albums, i do hope for more heavy songs yeh but i didn't at all mind the ballads like gradon, i really liked the album

just a tiny bit more heavy songs and hopefully more than 12 tracks

[Peterdea]

we need more tracks for sure, better lpu cds and heavier tracks. No way should they step back to Numetal since it's pretty much dead now...

I'd say that we shouldn't really make any predictions as to how long they will last until we get another album. I think at that point it should be a little more clear whether they intend to keep going for more albums and so on.

[Cyro]

Everyone's constantly asking this question all the time. And a good portion of the people who answer say anywhere between 2-4 more albums... I disagree however, and I'll state why if you read further.

 

There is no answer to how long they'll last as of now. The best we can do is take facts and guess. The band members are very content at the moment, and the way their albums tend to sell, it makes them very profitable. So unless there are internal problems with the band members, which doesn't seem all too likely at this point, Warner have no logical reason to drop them, and even if they did, I imagine it wouldn't be too hard for them to find another label. Because of these simple factors, they will probably last quite some time. That however, is an educated guess.

 

It'll take more than one album to totally ruin them. And Minutes to Midnight was well received by many anyhow, and its still selling, so obviously not just the hardcore fans are buying it. Everytime they release a new single their album climbs.

 

So while many question how long they'll last, their is no denying that in this point in time, Minutes to Midnight was a success in terms of sales.

 

And I don't want to piss any of you off, but even if we eliminated the hardcore fans out of the situation, I still believe the album would have sold an acceptable amount, obviously not as much, but it still would have been acceptable, however this last paragraph is pure speculation on my part.

 

So, to sum it up in short: At this point in time I can not see them disbanding anytime soon. There is nothing to suggest it may happen, but many things suggesting they will last much longer.

QFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kanavazk]

I don't really like the fact that people are always asking for more tracks on an album. The average studio album has about 12 tracks and is around 40-60 minutes long. An average Linkin Park studio album is 12 tracks and about 38 minutes long.

 

But I can see where you're coming from. They do take a really long time to write new songs for an album, and they seem to be perfectionists.

[untitled]

that is so true, and besides all the downloading nowadays it sold quite a lot actually

[FireHawk]

Yeah I 2nd that

 

I 3rd it.

 

I guess you have a point there, but I miss the old stuff. It was heavier. I like soft songs but M2M had too many.

 

I agree M2M was to soft.

 

qwerty actually wasn't the same as the old songs. it was in some respects remniscant, because it follows I guess the same format, but it's still a quite different take on numetal than on the albums

 

Exactly QWERTY wasn't 97% powerchords, and unmastered

[Cyro]

QFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

This may make me seem ignorant... but what does QFT mean?

[woodyloveslinkin]

They'll probably be together for a while but all they'll be known is is the next boy group like Backstreet Boys and a bunch of one trick ponys as they've proven themselves to be in Minutes to Midnight.

[BlazinDaniel]

What's Up With You Guys ? MTM was a new way of Linkin Park to show that they can also do other styles.And i love MTM.It's as good as Meteora and Hybrid Theory.Linkin Park will last as long as we fans hold on them !

[HaziLPTonz]

LP will be gone in the next few years

 

MTM was a disaster, yer...suuuuure it was a "new direction", but its like they went out on a tangent.

 

if LP keep this up..ill be HOPING they quit it before they wreck their reputations...what with everything warner hate + it seems like LP are making crappier music+music videos and selling their recordings of each show for more cash...

[Linkin_lp_park]

Am I one of the few who actually likes it?

I dunno what to feel bout LP..when i hear it compared to other music i am like...what the hell have LP done..but when im in the mood for the music when i listen carefully to lyrics and they mean things to me or when i see live performance of LP or see like making of M2M i think its really good...changes from time to time
