What is your favorite LP Era? For me: 1. A Thousand Suns (2010+) 2. Hybrid Theory EP (1998-1999) 3. Hybrid Theory (2000-2002)
Meteora. I love going back to watch all the LPTV videos and watching how active they were. You can really see how much fun they have in the videos of there tours and how they act
Before and after Meteora era. Though, meteora is the one that pulled me in (Numb ), but, I just like the other ones better. No multiple choice here......pick ATS.
Waaaah No one Chose that last one .. All the eras was really cool even when they were on their own prejects ,They did GREAT
I liked their live performances during the Meteora era the best, but I enjoyed all the eras Except they appeared bored during a lot of the MTM one.
Xero days: The band is starting out. There's some serious potential shown although there's no Chester yet HTEP: Now Chester is present. There's some really great songs here but there's a sense of them feeling like demos/unfinished (like in Step Up). HT: The second greatest era for the band. Every song is single worthy. There are many great moments throughout the CD (APFMH bridge for example) Meteora: Overall, a step back from HT. However, Meteora contains the most "fun" songs in my opinion. Songs like Don't Stay, Lying From You, Faint, and Numb are songs you can blast in your car or at a party and can jam out to them. All of the songs are like "candy." Especially the choruses. Fort Minor: One of my favorite hip hop records was made. The Rising Tied is amazing and the mixtape isn't half bad either. But it isn't even comparable to LP. M2M: The band finally branches off into different sounds. Pretty much every song is high quality. Although, most of the types of songs have been done before by other artists despite them being new to Linkin Park. I also felt the songs didn't fit with each other that well. ATS: They recorded their greatest album yet. I love how the songs go together so well and yet there's plenty of diversity to be found. Songs like The Catalyst and WTCFM are what M2M should have been like. They expanded AND the sound is original to all bands.
I like them all. Hybrid Theory pulled me in, Meteora made me a die-hard fan, Minutes to Midnight took me by surprise and A Thousand Suns blew me away. I can't choose just one.
It´s great that they can change their sound with every album. You really should appreciate every LP era. HT: It will always be one of their best albums, no matter what... Meteora: They tried to develop HT with some new ideas MTM: Their biggest step further. New sound but still LP, inimitable and distinctive ATS: I think there are not very much people who expected such a change but it´s still LP and it´s still their very own sound. Their best album and probably also their best era. I´m already excited about their next album, after all everything´s possible and everything will sound awesome...I´m sure
There are no downs in the eras of Linkin Park, but I think ATS is a little bit better than their old ones. As an album ATS is clearly the best. Every single song fits perfectly and they are connected in a way, I miss in the old albums. All these 'I hate the new linkin park'-people did not truly liked them at anytime; they just like a few of their songs. They developed themself. They don't want to re-creat an album. They do what they like and even so it's good. THAT's what a good band is made of.
Love love love LOVE the replies for me: Xero days: They were just starting, but a huge potential could be seen. Hybrid theory EP days: Their potential to make a distint sound was getting clearer and clearer, and mike's lyrics and flow really stood out. The band had their hard time. Hybrid Theory days: They show their full potential, and this is probrably one of my favorite days of them. They're immediately known as being unique. Meteora days: They were fun... but they became a really commercial band imo. It was like a back step in their musical carreer. Fort minor days: Loved fort minor. simple. Minutes to midnight: I didnt think this album was good as hybrid theory, but it was certainly a step from meteora. A big step, and a good one. Some songs like leave out all the rest and hands held high and the little things give you away are masterpieces. They start evolving (LIKE POKEMON!!! jk) A thousand suns days: Adore their music, and their mature but funny personalities. my favorite era by far. Shocked me.
