Never fails that about this time every year I give Hybrid Theory a listen. Had such an impact on me when it came out that it seems to have left a permanent mark on the change from summer to autumn for me.
One thing that I always noted with Linkin Park is that most of their later albums seemed to divide opinions in the fanbase.
This always struck me as a good thing because they never really released the same sounding album twice (their first two, most popular albums being the exception). They always changed it up.
Their more electronic sounding albums are really underrated IMO. I haven't really listened to them in years, but I used to love their music.
I still remember the shock and sadness when hearing of Chester's death. He was a beast of a vocalist.
I didn’t love them forever ago, but I rather like their new single “The Emptiness Machine”. I don’t follow music so I didn’t know they had lost their lead singer until yesterday. I heard the song and thought, “Linkin Park doesn’t have a woman for a lead singer….”
