  • Linkin Park's new album.........wow. It certainly is different. The Fine Bros had Teens REACT to their new single and a bunch of hits from their catalog. I certainly have a thing or two to say about that.

    Ok. People need to stop saying that bands from the early 2000s are cringy and embarassing. They're not. Let me remind you that there's a whole generation of metalheads that exist because they were introduced to metal through these so called 'cringy bands', and in an immense degree these are the people who are buying the music and concert tickets to keep metal and rock alive today. The only cringy part is that you were a pre teen or a teen who was overly dramatic and at times ridiculous, but that's ok, we all were, we grow up and change and become someone better. The bands were good, and they still sound good today. I respect all of them and thank them because thanks to them, my life has been defined by the incredibly awesome metal music being played today.

      ThatOnePerson I think it became cringe because the way people dressed in the late 90s and early 2000s which inevitably becomes the image of the band. The bleach blond spiky hair, the weird cargo pants... etc. These bands come from a time where the clothing trends of the year was just weird, in turn that image just stuck with them. There were many bands that are "cringe" Like Static X.

    • @caladbolg777
      @caladbolg777 6 років тому +15

      I do agree with you, but for me the cringe from Linkin Park was that their music did sound all the same. It was brought to my attention very early on and it made a lot of sense.
      Having said that I’d rather not bash them too much since Chester passed away. They do deserve a ton of criticism for the change but at the same time I give them props for actually changing. I just wish it wasn’t modern day pop.

    • @Eris_Norregard
      @Eris_Norregard 7 років тому +21

      True, but just 2 years before that they made Living Things :D
      Only their first two albums sounded similar. They are changing their style with every album. Like, they did two nu-metal albums. Then they did calm alternative rock. Then it became atmospheric dark electro rock. Then it became like real electronica. Then suddenly metal happens. And then pop happens.

  • @HeyItsYaGirlJess
    @HeyItsYaGirlJess 7 років тому +273

    Ok,while I don't disagree with what they say(I'm neutral),Chester has been doing vocals(For multiple bands) for as they said 20 years,over that time he's really damaged his voice,and I think what has happened is that he wants to change what they do so he can preserve his voice because he's 41(almost 42) years old. Voices don't last forever,If you've listened to the last concerts they have done you can tell his voice was badly beaten,and he is the type of guy to not take a break because he always wants to stay productive.

    • @pwners4u
      @pwners4u 7 років тому +2

      you say that but the reason why this album was released a year late is because chester took a year break after the tour and chester has said there is no screaming this album, whether he screams during concerts is another thing as screaming for 1 song isnt the same as recording the same scream 10 times in a row. Their next album may have screams but who knows

    • @hello-computer

    Growing up with linkin park, I 100% agree with your input. Especially with releasing this new song under a new name. This song overall is not...terrible, but the sound coming from linkin park it's quite, not upsetting, but more confounding. It's not my cup of tea. There's no more of that angst, however with this band there is always passion with their music, something that always draws me in. I enjoy hearing your thoughts on these video, as a broke college student I'll do my best to support you! Videos are great!

I love Hybrid, Meteora and Reanimation but HT is the bomb man. Its so close to my heart I can play the whole album in my head from start to finish I don't even need to hear it. Back then we would listen to the entire CD not skipping any track so I still know which songs comes after what, it was like the entire album was one big ass song. Miss you LP, miss you Chazzy Chaz. You will always be our coming of age, beloved Linkin Park.

    I got no real skin in the Linkin Park game, but I liked the points made in the video. It does seem like _Chester Sings To A Beat_ would probably be better received as a side-project.
    More importantly, however, it's great to see you reaching your 100th video, man. I know you like to do the self-deprecation thing, but when it comes down to it, I hope you know that you're rather solid on the content. \m/

    I was born in '96, and grew up listening to LP. My school books were covered in their old (not sure if they still use it) logo. My first song was Numb, btw. And honestly, all the hate on their new stuff irks me to no end. They've always been transformative, no pun intended. I dislike that it seems like they sold out, but they have always been amazing. Their music is meant for the kids/adults who had/have nothing (e.g. no friends, nobody that really cared/cares, nobody that understands what it's like to feel like you're​ alone, broken, defeated, etc.) or struggles through issues, both mental and habitual, and I guess growing up and never giving up on them makes me a biased fan, but I digress. They're just metamorphosing. Anyway, I guess this got kind of ranty, I'm just sick of people hating. No offense/hate to you or anyone else who comments, as everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but I'm biased. Anyway, much love. :) \m/

    Hey Mike interesting video, I wouldn't say I agree entirely, but I understand where you're coming from. Keeping within the whole genre changing bands theme, is your opinion the same about Opeth's stylistic change with Heritage as it is with LP?

    • @BecomeTheKnight
      @BecomeTheKnight  7 років тому +1

      Not exactly no. Opeth progressed further towards being a prog rock band as opposed to prog metal and from what I understand that was at least partly to assist with preserving the lead singer's voice. Opeth tried to go "pop" one time with Damnation (which is one of my favs). I don't think this is the same scenario.

    • @Simullo
      @Simullo 7 років тому +1

      Become The Knight Become The Knight Is it really that different though? Because Heritage really is a very different album all the previous Opeth records. It's true that Opeth always had clear prog elements, but I would argue that the stylistic change is a lot bigger than that of LP, because Heritage has a lot more new jazz elements that haven't been a part of their sound before. It's true that Damnation was also an album that was more prog rock, but it was still more similar to say the clean parts of Blackwater Park or Still Life.
      As you said in the video LP had been moving in more of a pop direction with every new release, the new stuff seems to just continue that trend at an accelerated pace.
      Maybe there's something I missed since I'm not at all into LP, so I could be looking at it from a wrong perspective.

    What does Linkin Park actually supposed to sound like? their first album? Linkin Park never identified themselves as a Nu metal band...ask them what genre they are and they won't give you a answer. just because their first album is way different then what they are now doesn't mean...oh that does sound like Linkin Park..linkin park has been changing so why is this a surprise? I was born when Linkin Park was under construction. Luckily I had a older brother that had Hybrid Theory and I had no way of avoiding it and you can say I literally grew up with L.P. and I have no problem with them changing and always doing different things. I am fan, I have a L.P. tattoo and I don't regret it. I will continue to support them because they can do w.e the fuck they want to do. No one controls them but them selves. They have no strings. for the type of music they are making rn for being "pop" it's not bad it's good. just because it's Linkin Park playing it doesn't mean it's shitty because "That's not Linkin Park"

    3) On the "got away from metal" comment...there last album had more guitar work on it than any other album..AND theyre all pretty "diverse" from each other on that album.
    4) With the idea that they're not genuine anymore...they have been in multiple interviews talking about how they've grown up over the years...they just have a new genuine.
    5) There are tons of demos and non album releases from the Hybrid Theory era that 98% of these complainers haven't even heard.

The new album was great, but it just happened to be a little softer then usual. They tried to change their sound, which people didnt like. I liked it, but it wasnt what they usually are. It seems like they do what they like to do, which i respect. I also feel like one more light was made as a plea for help from chester to the world.

  • @TooDicey
    @TooDicey 7 років тому +43

    The guys in Linkin Park made Hybrid Theory when their lives were much more "angsty". As they gained fame, money, and fans, their lives became a lot less "troubled". Thus making less angsty music. Music is a way to express your feelings, and if you're not feeling the same angst and frustration, then why would you make that kind of music? Being disingenuous would be to continue putting out albums like Hybrid Theory.
    Also. Your knowledge of the band is lacking, majorly. You're just like many who have listened to Hybrid Theory a ton, loved it, and hadn't really listened to anything after it, like you even said. Their second album, Meteora, already had poppy undertones. Breaking The Habit is very much a pop driven song. Then, their 3rd album Minutes to Midnight, was completely pop. They had maybe two songs on there that even sounded somewhat like Hybrid Theory.
    People are misguided when they talk about Linkin Park. They aren't a metal band, they aren't a punk band. They make music that they like, and always have. Just like plenty of people, they're music taste changes at different periods of their lives.

      I think this comment sums it up pretty well (though I wouldn't say newer music is less "troubled"). They had all that angst and anger that young people have, so that's the music they made. But they grew up, settled down, and their worries and troubles changed. And so did their music. It's obvious in the lyrics, and it would be quite non-genuine if the sound didn't reflect that as well.

    You sound like a casual fan. What you said about brand is absolutely true. But if you listen to their last album then you wouldn't complain about fat guitar and drums as The Hunting Party features the best of their guitars and drums. But if the next album (the going to be released album) sounds different I don't think they deserve hate. I also don't think that they are using their name to sell their current stuff which you called disingenuous. They changed with age. Somme musicians might be quite okay with changing their style entirely for a project which they have been doing from their album Minutes to Midnight.
    You might not like it but this is as much Linkin Park as much as the Linkin Park of Hybrid Theory era. I thats what I love about the band. The effortlessness with which they did all these projects throughout the years.

      What saddened me most was that many people who had been asking them return to a heavier sound never supported their last album. And still there are people who dont realise that this band has always been playing with their sound with no two album sounding the same. They dont want to see the production aspect of the current album, they dont want to enjoy Chester's voice, or even the fact that their most personal record after HT and M.
      Please enjoy the album as it is. Or listen to something you like. Music is supposed to make you happy not fight over.

But yeah when guilty all the same came out none of these complainers supported them and instead said "nah it still doesn't sound like hybrid theory." They might as well have said "where's the guitars?" After listening to that track :/

    • @malcolmmorin
      @malcolmmorin 7 років тому +2

      I think the one problem that people are having is solely the sound. It sounds different mainly because of the change in routine. Rather than make the music first and the lyrics next, they did the lyrics first and the music next.
      While it is interesting how it turned out, I'm hoping they stick with their original routine - music first, lyrics next. The music tends to sound a bit better in ways when it's done first instead.
