Linkin Park PAPERCUT // The Decomposer Lounge Reaction and Dissection
Man Linkin Park is so nostalgic to me. Grew up listening to them. Hybrid Theory & Meteora are honestly some of my most favorite albums
No matter how much shit I've gotten and will continue to get, I will always say Linkin Park is my favorite band. Their albums were essential in my youth
Same here! I was a teen when they blew up in 2001-2002.
@ninjafang p
Then after the finished touring for Meteora they forgot who they were and put out some of the worst music i've ever heard.
Used to play both albums on repeat on my old RCA boom box. Yup, nostalgia.
Geebz: "Sorry for my lack of knowledge"
Also Geebz: *points out a synth pad I never knew was there despite having known the song for years*
And I *magically* hear it as clear as if it always had been there, after he pointed it out
Im not even wearing headphones, dafuq
Well can you recommend some Biffy or I like trains to him?! Nice!
Yea Hahn does synth and turn tables
Musical theory, mayn
When I read your comment I thought to myself " must be talking about that haunting sample in the back that runs the whole song"...guess I've always heard it xD
"The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me" is beautiful.
Every song is a 10 on hybrid theory. There is just no debating that. “With You” is a ridiculously amazing tune.
Nah, hybrid theory is good, but reanimation shits on it.
@@l1p0v Completely disagree, although 1 Stp Kloser with Jon Davis is one my favourite songs so I’ll let it go 😂🙌
It’s good but By Myself just isn’t a 10
@@ebros2898 by myself is one of linkin parks best songs all time shut up
" With You " was the heaviest love song they ever wrote in B tuning ~ ~
I feel like Linkin Park were the gateway to the harder music for so many people, it's so cool to see you react to them!
oh totally ! LP was my first dip into some harder rock and i got hooked over night :)
I agree. I really like progressive metal now and I think Linkin Park was kind of the "gateway" into heavier music for me. I don't know if I would have gone down the metal road if it wasn't for their music.
i couldn't agree more... i started listening to them a couple of years ago and now i find myself listening to bands like Gojira
@@pedroabdala7232 oh yeah prog metal is fine. totally hooked on tool :D
Bingo. I had an older brother that was into some weirder stuff, but getting into LP led me to Blink 182 (I am old), who got me into punk and hardcore, and through those I eventually found myself 20 years later being into literally everything. Definitely started with LP.
The quintessential band for every edgy teenager in the early 2000s.
Was my gateway drug into metal as a whole. Sick! :D
Same here man, same here. My life has never been the same after hearing One Step Closer.
@@sinthetyx3417 Hey now!! LMAO, I was NEVER an “edgy teen” (whatever the hell that means lmao) but I definitely was obsessed with Metallica, definitely not Korn and Slipknot was a band that I liked a couple of their songs like Surfacing, Wait and Bleed mainly and then later I loved Vol 3: The Subliminal Versus but I can’t say I loved them like most of their fans. I loved Metallica, Linkin Park and yes Limp Bizkit, I’m NOT ASHAMED to admit it. A few years later I discovered Lamb Of God and I was instantly hooked, they were one of the few really heavy bands I liked aside from Metallica of course. In 2003 I got to see Linkin Park for the first time when they came thru on the summer Sanatarium tour to Gillette Stadium with The Deftones (who I thought and still think suck outside of one song) Mudvayne (who I liked especially back then) Limp Bizkit, and the Mighty Metallica! Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit and Metallica were AMAZING! Went the next year and saw Metallica when they played indoors at The Fleetcenter with Godsmack whom I still LOVE although just like with every band I can think of I prefer their older shit! Also love Staind and Alice In Chains Yep I’m “THAT GUY”
Yeah, I'm going through that now. Last year, or the year before I've forgotten, my mum introduced me to this and I've sort of spiralled into metal as a genre. And also it's fusion of nu metal. I'm seeings all these people who look back to experienced I'm having now in a nostalging way and it's so nice, because I sort of feel we're connecting in different timelines. I love it so much, what a great band, and what a great heckin genre.
I was an edgy 4 year old in the early 2000s.
I still remember 'SHUT UP WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU' as the first 'bad' lyrics I ever learned.
@@sinthetyx3417 dude out here gate keeping being edgy lmao
This track takes me back to Middle School. Hybrid Theory was a great album.
R.I.P. Chester.
I was 15 when I heard this song at first time)
Every time my heart breaks all over again remembering Chester is gone. Him and Chris, I will never forgive the universe.
Yep middle school vibes fo sho
Same. Incredible album. It was the first album i ever bought with my own money. I was maybe 10 or 11.
8th grade. I kept hybrid theory on repeat in my bedroom. I was so emo and angsty 😂 and for absolutely no reason 🤦🏼♀️
Hybrid Theory is an incredible album.
Holy shit...I've been listening to this track for 20 years now, and I've not once ever noticed that glassy pad. I even heard this yesterday and didn't notice it.
Thank you Geebz. This is one of the many reasons we absolutely love you ❤️
I felt the exact same way and I couldn’t agree with this comment more!
Mandela effect in action, bro!
@@romanm.3529 Gonna disagree with you there. Mike Shinoda's Promises I Can't Keep has always had a very otherworldly, "was this not a Linkin Park song," vibe to me, though. Huge fan of the band's body of work, and I can't for the life of me pull to memory what Mike's song is making me think of. Something about the melody of the chorus. If you've got the familiarity with the band, give it a listen and let me know if you recognize it like I do. Probably just trippin'.
@@KeikakuLounge I was a big fan of LP since about 2004
I experience mandela effects big time, in songs and lyrics. Changes may be so minute as to almost unnoticeable. But I can hear most song are like enhanced or re-masterd by whoever made this "whatever-we-live-in" realm or something
Oh yes perfect song to choose. I remember when this album came out. I bought it at the Sam goody store in the mall when I was in grade school. I love this album. Still due to this very day. Probably in my top 10 favorite albums I ever bought. The original Linkin Park sound is so powerful. An amazing time for alternative music
Morning Adam!
@@KeyOfGeebz Aloha my friend. Hope your shoulder feels better soon.
Sam goody where music was 30% more expensive than everyone else.
7:14 I'm so happy he reacted to that little bass lick that I've always loved about Papercut.
Happy side note, In The End just recently reached A BILLION plays on spotify.
i love thit part. the bass is amazing in this song
I just noticed this, there’s so many layers going on throughout the song that even the minute, quick details show how much love gets put into their music. Love stuff like this, thank you again
My ears were expecting the song to carry right into “One Step Closer” and was very disappointed when the chunky guitar riff didn’t start. 😂
Beginning to end, Hybrid Theory is one of the best albums of all time
You should genuinely listen to the entirety of hybrid theory, it's a nonstop dopamine rush.
Absolutely.
Hell yeah !
Hybrid Theory is one of those rare albums where every single track is great.
Oh God. I was waiting on you to do something like this. What a band. What a loss
I think With You and Pushing me Away are the heavy hitters of this album
I have to agree, although the entire album was full of heavy hitters. Even My December and Cure for the Itch grew on me, but it took a little longer as they were quite the tone shift.
@@Elzzaw the with you remix... the rap bridge with Aceyalone - one of teh best paragraphs ive heard
A Place For My Head is their greatest song
By myself is a really underrated track IMO
points of authority is probably the best on the album
Mike Shinoda is an especially unique rapper, he has this wonderful fusion of regular singing with very clean rap lines. It works so well when Chester would sing and scream along side him.
You should listen to something off of A Thousand Suns, it's not a fan favorite album but it's by far their most experimental
ATS is a masterpiece. #MakeChesterProud #LPU
ATS is widely considered their best work nowadays, but it used to be a really controversial album. The same thing happened with MTM when it first came out - and most of their work, to be fair. Fans either loved it or hated it, but once some time had passed people really started to appreciate it for the masterpiece it is.
ATS is their best work, and was also Chester’s favorite. You can’t call yourself a Linkin Park fan and skip that one.
I finally got back into Linkin Park this year after not listening to them for almost a decade. So glad to see you talk about them! Somewhere I Belong is probably my favorite Linkin Park song. The chord progression in the chorus is one of my favorites of all time, in any song
Nothing gets me harder than the lyrics in the bridge of Somewhere I Belong. It captures such a fundamental pathos of the human experience.
I will never know
Myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel
Anything else until my wounds are healed
I will never be
Anything till I break away from me
I will break away
I'll find myself today.
It seems a lot of people in the comments share the sentiment and nostalgic feel as I do. This band was my musical life during high school. Even the people who I didn't think would usually like the heavier type of music liked Linkin Park.
Keep up the good works, Uncle G. We love you! ❤️
This is definitely the right song to start with too. A lot of songs from this album blew up, but this song is THE Linkin Park song, for sure.
As for Linkin Park being "First", they were not really even close to first, but they were polished, and radio friendly in a way that other bands who started earlier in the genre never were. Also they were embraced by the rap scene in ways that the other bands of their type never were, giving them a broader appeal and credibility.
If they weren't even close to first then who layed the foundation for their style of music? because if you go to the fundamentals there is only a handful of bands that have that sound and style and most only came years after Linkin Park.
@@sinthetyx3417 not to be a jerk but Linkin Park was like a third wave Nu Metal band, almost everyone you have ever heard of in the genre came out before them. Korn, Deftones, Incubus, Limp Bizkit, (hed) PE, Kid Rock, Rage Against the Machine, this list goes on. Hell Cypress Hill was releasing Nu Metal albums by the time Hybrid Theory dropped, even shitty bands like Crazy Town beat Linkin Park to market.
As i said originally, Linkin Park was not early at all, they were just better at it than most other bands, and managed to cultivate an air of credibility with hip hop artists that no one else did, giving them a legitimacy and staying power that other bands never got. Also, to be frank their music was a lot more sanitized for mass consumption than a lot of bands who came before them, allowing for a lot more radio and parent-friendly tracks.
@@Gyledresch LP is 2nd wave.
Ratm Cyprus kid Rock etc aren't nu metal and Limp Bizkit came around the same time as LP (within a year or so)
Coal chamber Korn etc are first wave then LP and Bizkit came out and nu metal went straight to the moon.
@@PheonixRise666 Limp Bizkit’s first album came out in 1997 while Hybrid Theory dropped in 2000
@@Gnix1996 while that is true, LB didn't blow up until 2000 with chocolate starfish
The one thing about LP is they were always actively searching for a new sound, they were always experimenting. No 2 albums are the same from them. It drew heat from many fans but it gained them even more.
Yeah. Just a shame that their style after meteora didn't do anything for me. They went from my favorite band to a band I didn't care about in terms of new albums coming out. I'm guessing they just wanted to escape the sinking nu-metal ship like everyone else but they went for radiorock instead of more heavier direction.
@@PeXis you should listen to their album the hunting party. It’s actually the heaviest of their 7 albums.
@@Kmiller5515it sucks, only nu metal linkin park is good
Hybrid theory and Meteora were the same genre and were nice, don't like the rest because completely different genre that didn't utilize their natural sound and style
@@user-le5xl3vf2f and everyone has their opinions, and rightly so. I just thing it's wrong when fans think a band has to stick to 1 sound to make them happy personally.
Hybrid theory absolutely blew my mind as a kid. Putting it in the cd player and hearing papercut right out of the gate... Man it was awesome
Linkin Park's "Blackout" is a really weird Piece of Composition, and I love it.
this song is so underrated, is insane
Yeah, the quality of the production on this record was insane. Especially for a band nobody had ever heard of: this was their debut. I think that's one of many reasons why it took off the way it did, and why the band was so eager to experiment moving forward: I think they were heavily involved in all of that side of things.
Cannot believe this record is 20 years old. 😳
First! LP is definitely one of the most iconic bands of all time. Soooo nostalgic to listen to this song in 2021. Great reaction as always! Love your content man.
"the sun goes down" part always gives me chills
‘Papercut’ is right up there behind ‘Place for my Head’ for me
Duuuude the nostalgia from high-school years is intense with this one ❤️
Linkin Park suggestions: faint, in the end, numb, lying from you
Linkin Park broke new ground with their sound... Maybe check out Don't Stay on the Meteora album... Love the channel man!!!
Heck yes, and then do the live version from the 2004 Rock AM Ring show. That live intro still gives me chills.
Except their style was an alternative clone of some industrial metal pioneers but hey, broke new ground sure. I say this as a Linkin Park fan.
@@fanatic26 heavily "cultured" by the labels, for sure, but Linkin Park was SUPER radio friendly w/ an amazing singer with technique n range
They didn't break any ground with their sound. They were literally a clone of everything that came before them while riding the wave of a trend. Just because dude passed away doesn't mean everyone has to start making shit up about Linkin Park being some kind of "pioneer of the sound". They literally added NOTHING new and only get credit simply because they were popular. #Facts
Got into foster care at 11 years old and this album is the only thing I had to feel happy when I moved into a group home. 29 now and Papercut is a must have on my playlist
I've always considered Rage Against the Machine as the originators of "rap metal", for want of a better term. I think they were 4-5 years ahead of their contemporaries.
I will put my money on the Urban Dance Squad
beastie boys were doing it way before rage. the beastie boys were a punk/metal band that formed in '81. they released a comedy rap song in '83 that had more success than their serious material, so they changed their style to hip hop but still maintained that hard style. they were friends with anthrax who also dabbled with some rapping to metal music, but they stayed true to being a thrash metal band.
Definitely, though Linkin Park added another layer with the synth and drum machine. I would say Linkin Parks music was a quite natural feeling continuation of what happened before in this rock/alternative genre.
Linkin park was everything good about Nu metal and closer to Faith no more than rap rock
I think there's a documentary on this somewhere, - a lot of people put Faith No More on the rock side; Beastie Boys on the Rap side and the Aerosmith/Run-D.M.C as before them. But I agree - it didn't really take form in the mainstream as a single instrumental rock group which always raps instead of sings, until RATM.
It's so weird being 30 and watching a decomposer react to my favourite band when I was 9. But I had damn good taste. A lot of early 2000s nu metal is holding up surprisingly well.
I miss listening to Linkin Park. I grew up with them and I loved their early albums. It's harder to listen to them since Chester died.
Chester’s back story makes the lyrics and performances that much more amazing. RIP Chester. 💔. You are so missed.
RIP Chester on July 20th, #MakeChesterProud. Heavenly Birthday to Chris Cornell, "no one sings like you anymore..." (July 20th) You should definitely react to their Live videos from 2008, Hunger Strike & Crawling. Thanks for the reaction. Much respect.
OMFG it happened again!! I've been watching every video this guy uploads. However, I haven't listened to Linkin Park in like two years, till yesterday!!! I played this particular, same goddamn song, PAPERCUT!!! And now he uploads this. I'm speechless.
I'm honestly not sure why your year old videos have popped up in my feed.
But I'm damn sure glad they did. Linkin Park's first 3 albums hit a part of my soul that has never been hit by anyone else.
Your videos are highlighting things in songs that I have heard hundreds of times and have never noticed, and makes it feel like I am hearing them for the first time.
This is by far one of my favorite Linkin Park songs
This was Chester's favorite song to perform on stage out of all their songs that they released before he died. Crawling was the hardest for Chester to perform since it was hard on his vocal cords so he asked to have it removed from the setlist. Chester wrote some of the songs for Linkin Park on his own but most of the time he wrote with Mike. Mike wrote some of the songs with Chester's life experiences for Chester.
There once was a seed planted, called Rage Against The Machine.
This seed was Grooving, Heavy, Aggressive, and Rapping.
From the seed grew a plant called Nu'Metal.
-
The plant sprouted a first shoot, which took the appearance of KoRn. Many leaves grew from this shoot, all equally as Aggressive and Heavy.
Then from the seed sprouted a second shoot, which took the appearance of Linkin Park. Many leaves grew from this shoot as well, all equally as Grooving and laced with Rapping vocals.
-
Sometimes the leaves grew larger than others, leaning so close to the other shoot that it became hard to tell if it branched off the more Aggressive/Heavy side, or the more Grooving/Rapping side; but one thing was for sure, it was still Nu'Metal.
What I love about Linkin Park is they know how to be heavy without being simple and boring. There's so many different sounds and instruments in each track, especially this one in "Papercut". The bridge and final chorus is like 20 layers deep with harmonies, background synths and so much other stuff. It will take a lot of listens to catch everything, giving this song so much replayability and makes it unbelievably catchy.
Black Sabbath - Planet Caravan decomposing would be cool! :)
Or Pantera version
When people ask the question, "Hey if you could pick a song to hear first which one would it be?" and my answer would always be this one! it completely changed my outlook music and broadened my horizons! and thank you for giving me as close to that feeling as possible!! thanks mate!
Favourite track from the first album: Points Of Authority.
Linkin park came out at the right time in my life. This band literally saved my life twice!! When Chester passed away, it's like I lost part of myself. You NEED to do this breakdown on there song called ONE MORE LIGHT
The first album I ever purchased! Still one of my favourite albums to this day!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Same. I was in 6th grade and my first album I paid for on my own. Really the start of my solo music journey outside of parental influence, radio or siblings in general.
@@stevenpuckitt212 the exact same with me dude! I was in year 6 at school as I'm from the UK! Such a perfect album! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
My brother bought this album in spring/summer of 2001 (he was 14, and I was 20 ). We had just got in the car with our mom, and he pulled out the album and passed it to me in the front seat. I put it in my CD player, and after the first 10 seconds of hearing papercut I told my mom she had to take me to the record store now. I swear that album marked the spot of a new chapter. The moment I played that album the sun became brighter. THEN...not too long after I was introduced to Mudvaynes L.D. 50. Jeez, talk about E-PIC-NESS. 😍 I always get so emotional thinking about the early 2000's.
One of my all time favorite groups!! More Linkin Park please!!
OH man. This was the start of everthing for me. I had this cd on Endless repeat. I'm glad you started with the first song of their first album. You should do Every Linkin Park song of this album but actually Every Linkin Park song there is. Even the later work, for which they lost a lot of the more rock/metal minded fans, is great. They always evolved and reinvented themselves without losing their essence. Continue doing more of their songs. You're gonna make a lot of People happy. Thank you!
Saw them in Long Beach CA, with POD, Hoobastank, POD, Story of the year and some others. Bad ass show!!! RIP Chester!
POD two sets?! Awesome
Blackout from Linkin Park is a perfect song for decomposition! The Catalyst is also a very interesting song to analyze in my opinion. You would definitely enjoy A Place For My head as well! It's my favorite song from them. Also their live performance of QWERTY is a testament to your opinion that the vocalist is an instrument himself! Thanks for your excellent decompositions!
Yes, qwerty live at summer sonic 2006 it's an insane performance 🔥😍
Their first and second record played a major role in keeping me mentally sound during my worst days getting clean and sober.
R.I.P. Chester
I would love to see your reaction to "Given up".... Chester holds a legendary scream for what seems to be 20 seconds in that song.
RIP Chester
They were the band that really got me into music I'm general. 'Faint' was the first song I learned all the lyrics to and could sing along with.
They were the band my dad would challenge me to try and isolate every individual instrument and hear the beat of the drums.
Chester was the only celebrity that's passed that I had an emotional response too. I'm super grateful for Linkin Park.
Linkin Park is so nostalgic. It brought back lots of memory.
That first album was definitely the best. Meteora was good too but that first album was amazing. The psycho part about that whole thing is most of the arrangement and recording was done by Mike Shinoda, the rap singer. He's a producer in his own right and did the drums, guitar, keyboard, sampling/turntables as well as obviously singing when they recorded it and then they had other people come in to play the parts when they go on tour. He's another one of those people that can play pretty much anything he picks up. He's also the one that did all the artwork for all their albums. (He actually had his stuff in a gallery in LA, as well as the Japanese American National Museum because he's Ukrainian and Japanese)
I'm so glad you got around to Linkin Park, I cannot even begin to describe how much their music was a gateway drug for me and how important it is to my personal soundtrack of life. It was the first band I really dove deep into, learning all the members names, really listening to all parts of the art. They are such a perfect blend, and it doesn't mater what the project sound was, they always sounded good doing it. If you ever have the time, listen to their discography, its easy to see how they managed to impact so many people around the world and broaden musical horizons for so, so many people. Its hard to pick a single song to recommend because they are so versatile but anything on Minutes to Midnight (like really just the whole album) or The Catalyst off of A Thousand Suns are some things to specifically check out. I'm so glad you enjoyed what you heard and I can only imagine how many others feel the way I do about Linkin Park or their own personal favorite band. Keep on doing what you're doing man.
Linkin Park saved my life with Hybrid Theory, thank you for checking them out.🥰
I think that based on how you decompose these songs Linkin Park is a perfect artist for you to explore further. They are surprisingly complex and you hearing some of these interesting things in Papercut had me loving this song all over again. Keep up the good reacts!
6:30 so glad you noticed this, I love the bass sound in this section. And the way the bass drum is synced with the string hits makes it sound soo much fatter
"Give it up for the great Mr. Hahn"
This is what I’m talkin bout
The older I got, the more I really started to appreciate all the underlying synths and sounds behind the tracks. They really couldn’t have produced a better sounding record.
RIP Chester
It would be dope if you did a comparison/review video on some of Steven Wilson's remixes of some of Jethro Tull's classic songs/albums. For example, doing a reaction video of Steven Wilson remix of "Aqualung" and comparing it to the original mix and highlighting some of the differences and nuances that Wilson was able to bring out in his mixing of it that was lost in the original mix. In my opinion, the Steven Wilson remix was able to bring out some really interesting dynamics that add more to the nihilistic feeling of some of the tracks. It would be super interesting to hear your thoughts on Wilson's mix versus the original and see what you like or do not like about the Wilson remix of "Aqualung" to the original mix.
Thanks as always for the amazing content!
I’d say it was Rage Against the Machine, Korn, Deftones and Limp Bizkit that kind of opened things up for bands like Linkin Park to come out with this kind of sound. Glad you did Linkin Park though as they remain my favourite band of all time and the band that got me into rock/metal/rap.
yeah in that specific order too - seems mixing nu metal and rap was the "thing" for big label producers back then haha
Yep, Mike Shinoda, not only Rapper etc. but also main songwriter&producer for LP actually really liked Korn when he was still in college (or even highshool?). A friend who was into Rock introduced him (who listened more to HipHop).
And yes, i hate to say it but i think Limp Bizkit were successful right before LP
@@surfingthedarkness why? Limp
Bizkit is dope
@@LandOfTheFallen i'm mostly kidding i love Break Stuff
This is one of their "deep cuts" which has had more staying power than others, and it's great that you were introduced to it. So powerful! As far as Linkin Park being a pioneering and "gateway" band back in the early 00s, I totally agree with that. And I feel like I hear echoes of their sound in modern bands like _Spiritbox_ , especially SB's newest release *"Circle With Me."* That blend of heavy, melodic, visceral, and cathartic is so powerful. 🤙🏼
Linkin Park was my favorite band in middle school. I happened to be watching MTV one Saturday morning and the music video for 'Somewhere I Belong' came on and I was transfixed. My 12 year old self had never heard something so awesome. 2003's Hybrid Theory, its excellent and underappreciated Reanimation sequel, and 2003's Meteora for a core trio of albums that hold a special place in my young musical heart. The hybridized rock/rap, really alternative metal/rap sound had never and has never been captured so uniquely.
Man I hear things in songs that I've never noticed before when listening with you.
Feels like suddenly my headphones gained quality :D
I love the chemistry between Mike and Chester and they definitely delivered on this album.
Goddammit, this song REALLY makes me miss the amazing car stereo I had back in high school. I had a really badass system with Pioneer speakers and 2 10” subs (I can’t remember what brand at the moment)-but that song used to sound amazing in that car, and it’s making want to upgrade the fairly decent stereo that came stock in my Dodge Charger. I fucking hate dealing with subs in the trunk when I need to haul shit, but man this song and several by Disturbed just needs a bit more thump to sound right.
2 × 10's were best for the tightness of rock and metal while giving rap a harder hit also. Hellz yeah
Please check out literally anything from their first 2 albums Hybrid Theory and Meteora
Best choices for your type of breakdowns would be: With You, A Place For My Head, Somewhere I Belong, Lying from You, Numb
The production on Hybrid Theory is incredible
Synth at the end are pizzicato samples played by Joe Hahn. You can hear it the best during SMOKEOUT 2003 performance
Listening back to this on a proper high quality headset and amp 20 years after I first listened to it (a lot), I realize how sonicly complex and intricate this song realy is and how well it is produced with all things clearly and individually discernable in the sound picture.
The subscription to Geebz is worth it for when he gets to great bands. Thank you!
Linkin Park is one of the godfathers of rap rock
Yes, Linkin Park has such a diverse collection of amazing songs. Hope you do more.
Hi,
This takes me back; brilliant song & band.
I was also listening to
Papa Roach "Last Resort"
Limp Bizkit "Rollin"
Crazytown "Butterfly"
Blink 182 "I Miss You"
I hope your shoulder gets better; get them to do an ultrasound on your shoulder just to make sure you haven't torn any ligaments.
Take care & stay safe.
Papercut is the first LP song I heard, it was on a cd that came with Kerrang magazine, and it blew my mind 😌 🙏
Hybrid Theory had the record of most copies sold for a first album. I remember back in school I heard “one step closer” on the radio and I was instantly hooked. I went to the record store (yes kids, we used to do that) and bought the album just for that song… and I remember being impressed by all songs! It was something I had never listened before, even that there where lots of bands mixing rap and singing… they sounded special. Papercut is the first song in that album and when it connected with OSC it blew my mind
This is the music of my youth. The entire Meteora album saved my life. Meteora and hybrid theory are two albums that you could put in the CD player and never hit skip. Every song was great.
An analysis of anything off of Deafheaven’s Sunbather would make my month 😊
The final few seconds in the ending of the song, that's the starting of next track in the album..this is what Linkin Park did mostly for the first two albums, also the intro sound is synth in the song as most people gets confused it's guitar Intro. Also the bass guitar part was played by the guitarist "Brad Delson" for the first album but I believe in this song they used separate bassist I think his name is Kyle because the original bass player "Dave Phoenix" was on tour with another band.
One song that stands out to me for Chester's raw vocal power is Given Up. It is insane.
I love how as soon as the guitar hits, his eyes just widen. I fucking love that feeling when listening to LP
listened to LP though a lot of rough times in my life. Saw them in concert also and it was one of the best I have seen in my life.
MORE LINKIN PARK PLZ!!! IM BEGGING!!
This song was absolutely everything to me when i was 13-14. Burned to a cd delivering papers round the burbs west aus. So many emotions.
Rest easy Chester. Reach out if you're in a dark place, we all need you even if you don't know it.
on the album the next track starts almost immediately after this ends and keeps the energy up. its actually a great transition to make the album more epic.
Chester + Cornell singing 'crawling' live is just amazing..just hits do differently now
Thats how the album STARTS, MAN!!!!
Between the Buried and Me - Selkies: The Endless Obsession

A man of culture.
Yes. This.
Would be an excellent song for geebz
PLS DO TGIS GEEBZ
Yessss. I requested this a while back. Glad to see more btbam fans here!
I had never considered what Linkin Park would sound like if the rapping were done as growling. Now, I can't NOT hear it - and I LOVE IT! THANK YOU, GEEBZ!!
This whole album is brilliant. Happy to hear you decided to choose the first track in the album, and not any of the singles. Still here!
It's like going back to highschool. "It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within. It's like the face inside is right beneath the skin" This came out in 2000. There's two singers. One who does rap and more spoken word and a singer that belts it out and screams. Joe Hahn is the guy on the pads. He has a ton of electrical stuff like pads. If it isn't a guitar, bass or drums... then it's him. Yeah They were one of the 1st popular Nu-meta band. Korn, limp bizkit and linkin park were the 1st ones i remember. They were the ones who were the most hip hop. They even did a album with Jay-z.
I suggest "linkin park - giving up"
Take as much time to heal that shoulder.
Hybrid Theory is a genuine masterpiece. Might not be everyone's cup of coffee but got to respect the craftsmanship on that record.
