What are your thoughts about Linkin Park's new album?

[End]

Linkin Park's new album features pop music. The band itself went from making rock/rap/heavy/numetal, to then mixing in some pop and techno/dubstep, and then to pure pop.

A few years ago, Linkin Park contacted Harvard business school for some guidance on their business model. They then followed the advice that Harvard gave them, and their next album after this event became filled with pop music.

Note: Apparently, Linkin Park received hate in the past after releasing a few other previous albums that mixed in new music genre's as well.

From what I know, Minutes to Midnight was the first album released that made Linkin Park fans show hate to them. The main reason was because Minutes to Midnight was advertised by Linkin Park to be an album featuring very heavy music, but instead it featured a lot of soft music (the album featured music that was softer than what they normally create).

What are your thoughts about their new album?

You do realise the lead singer of Linkin Park, Chester Bennington, perhaps due to his hardcore screaming evolution or throat cancer, started vomiting up blood when shouting on stage.

He had seriously good vocal chords, but might over overdone it, attempting to give the best live performances each time.

Hense, they had to change music genres and adjust accordingly. They branched out into rap, techno, and pop music. Gone are the good old days of Hybrid Theory and Meteora, etc.

Any real fan of Linkin Park should know the reason and not give hate due to that.

I was in to Hybrid Theory back when it came out and Meteora had some decent songs on it but then i got in to much heavier stuff like thrash metal, doom and hardcore punk and left Linkin Park behind. They've never been the most edgy or heaviest band out there but at least they had good songs.
I've heard a couple of tracks from the new album and it just sounds like the kind of crap that people like Katy Perry and Lady Gaga make. I'm definitely not their target audience anymore lol.

You can make your music more melodic and chilled whilst still staying true to your roots, just look at a band like Deftones they have some epic melodic ballads on their newer albums but the guitars on other tracks are still crushingly heavy.

For all the hate they get, I always liked their music for the most part.

[American Tragedy]

It's not the same music, it used to be. It feels like they really try to follow the mainstream and nowaday popular music style and genres, which can barelly called music,tbh

[Pixelpusher]

Lincoln park is still relevant?

[Spíosra]

I didn't realize Linkin Park was still around. I'm not too familiar with them or their work (seriously), but I'll consider checking this album out.
