Brilliant.Purely and utterly brilliant.Their sound is totally wacky and weird, and that's the way I like it.They're not like all the other bands(not until Minutes to Midnight, but I'll tell you about that after); they're unique.I didn't even know nu-metal until they came into my life.Their lyrics really talk to people.Or atleast me.I remember the first time I bought one of their CDs...
I was at Wal-Mart getting a new CD player when I decided to get a CD to go with it.I had heard Linkin Park the other day, and I really liked their songs so I bought Metora.I went home and sat on my bed, listening to the whole CD during the time.I have to say I was/am impressed deeply with it, and I kept playing it over and over.I couldn't decide a favorite (I loved them all!), but I did decide a least favorite.Easier to Run.I don't know why, but I'm just not to fond of it.I also like how the CD looks.13/13.Then there was the second one I bought: Hybrid Theory.
Oddly, I bought it at Wal-Mart, too( though I'm not sure why I was there).Is it good?Well,it has to be if I'm listening to it now!"All these words they make no sense.I find bliss in ignorence..." That's Closer to the edge if you didn't know.I love this one, too, and again, I can't decide a favorite, but I can decide a least favorite: Pushing Me Away.I like the lyrics, but the sounds just not doing it for me.But I don't hate it so it gets a 12/12.Awesome CD look, too.Regretfully, I then bought their newest album, Minutes to Midnight.
My grampa bought it for me at a CD store at the mall.I listened to it with rage.This wasn't my band!!!They swear so I can't blast it in the car with my family or in my room.Some songs are soft and caring:EWW!!!I feel so ashamed and angry with myself for liking more then half of the songs on it.I like Shadow of the Day,What I've Done, No More Sorrow, Bleed it out, and another one about war.The sound is softer at some parts, and it just doesn't sound right.Even the CD's look is dull and boring.Sorry boys,5/12.It's a tragedy...
So the overall review is unbelievably prodigious.The sound is powerfully unique and has the right amount of rock, screamo, rap, and techno:the ultimate nu-metal.I shall listen to these songs for a long time, and I will always call this band my absolute favorite.I really wish I could give it a perfect 10, but I just can't, thanks to Minutes to Midnight.Shouldn't have stepped out of your comfort zone boys.If you didn't, I might have not given you a 9.9.In conclusion, truly wonderful.Go Linkin Park!!!!
