What do you think that the next Album will be like?

What do you guys think?

I think that it would be something back to their roots.

 

I think they’ve completely abandoned their nu metal sound and will continue to do what they’ve always done. Change direction.

 

Good points people. Mike can scream, I’ve seen a few videos however he pales in comparison with Chester. I didn’t like One More Light primarily because I felt that they tried something which didn’t suit them. Heavy definitely sucked for me, especially because I went “Where the hell are the guitars?” after hearing it. I want to see something different, however I don’t want another One More Light. One thing I want though is more solos from Brad. The titular track on One More Light had a solo. Even a few Joe Hahn solos here and there would be great.

 

I don’t think anyone can predict honestly. Just take the transition from THP to OML alone. You would’ve thought they were made by different bands

 

Well yeah, that’s true. However, there won’t be another One More Light because it received really heavy backlash from the people. You could see comments talking about how Linkin Park died even on “Run” by Foo Fighters. Personally, I don’t think that experimenting is a bad thing. “Somewehere I Belong”, “Iridescent” and “Guilty all the Same” are some of my favorite tracks. Ever. However, when 2 albums have no consistency I think that that’s when they go too far. Look at Buckethead. His albums have 0 consistency. You have Colma on one hand then you have Albino Slug. I know I seem like that one guy who writes a whole paragraph on a text.

 

Yup. Those people need to take off their nostalgia glasses.

 

I have no idea at this point. It was easier to predict from THP to LP7. Now? I would assume it will be like ATS to LT. Don't think there's gonna be a drastic change from OML to the next album. Maybe more hip hop focused as that's Mike's thing?

 

Anybody who denies that he is the sole reason that they got into the band is straight up lying

 

It’s not like he plays the damned thing in the studio

 

Yup ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

But in all seriousness LP is a combined effort. Take away the vocals, it’s incomplete. Take away the guitars, it feels incomplete. Take away the bass, it feels incomplete. Take away the keyboards, it’s incomplete. Finally, take away the drums and it’s incomplete. I know, Brad isn’t that good. I have him as my pic, yes. But that’s because why not.

What I’m trying to say was that Heavy felt incomplete.

 

But Heavy has god damn guitars! they just doesn't have that big amount of distortion.
No one said guitars must be always heavy.

 

O_O so the guitar just got buried in the mix.

 

That’s for sure. Papercut’s main riff is so fun to play.

 

linkin park isnt going back to roots lmao (AS MUCH AS I WISH THEY HAD DONE A LONG TIME AGO) . idrk anymore, even afters chesters death, im still not a big fan of OML, tho since his passing i started listening to their other stuff. maybe a hiphop album mixed with pop?
