Linkin Park - One More Light (May 19, 2017) Album • Page 3

It's good, and their most creative, but Minutes to Midnight is still their peak.

 

Ehhhhhhhhhhh Minutes To Midnight has too much like, broad drawn out cheeseball for me to call it my favorite. Still a ton of good of course, but not my fav

 

Probably in the minority, but Meteora still is my favorite. Yeah, it's basically a copy of their debut album, but it doesn't sound dated like that one, and Chester blows my mind with his performance throughout the whole thing. Dude and Mike know how to write a catchy hook. It's such a blast front to back. Moreover, some of the chillest songs hinted at what they would do on the later albums. I still miss the guitar tuning and the wall of guitars sound they had on it. Don't Stay's intro still catch me by surprise due to how perfect the production is, especially the guitars. They just sound massive.

 

Minutes To Midnight was the last one I bought and the last one I listened to. I'll have to check out A Thousand Suns.

 

I feel like A Thousand Suns is the one I come back to the most, but Hybrid Theory and Meteora are my favorites. I think I just played them both too many times when they were new.

 

This 100%

 

Hybrid Theory and Meteora are pretty easily my least favorites from these guys. There are some solid tunes on them (From The Inside, Breaking The Habit, With You, Papercut, My December), but they just don't stand up to stuff like A Thousand Suns and Minutes To Midnight.

 

I'm with you dude. Meterora sounded like a band that was really knowing what they were trying to do. Watching the accompanying DVDs with it, its so exciting to see this young band discovering these samples and idea and making them work

 

agreed on every last point. i said it somewhere else but the last several albums just feel completely scatterbrained and aimless to me.

 

The last two sound like b-side albums. Just sounds like a lot of odds and ends!

 

Also, Living Things is my second favorite because it blended every style they had pulled off during their career at that point.

 

Let's do some ranking folks !

Meteora > Living Things > Hybrid Theory > Minutes To Midnight > A Thousand Suns > The Hunting Party

 

Hybrid Theory> Meteora> A Thousand Suns> Minutes To Midnight > Living Things> The Hunting Party

 

Oy I'm gonna have to give the most recent ones a thorough, concentrated review. For now meteora > HT > M2M > everything else

 

A Thousand Suns > Minutes To Midnight > Living Things > The Hunting Party > Hybrid Theory > Meteora

 

Meteora > hybrid > living things > minutes >> thousand suns > hunting (I've only listened to it once so have to go last, I have no idea why only once cause I listened to all the others in the hundreds and dozens)

 

It's tough for me to rank because the first two albums were so important in a musically historic way in my personal life, so I don't think I could rank based on which are the best, but rather only on the ones that meant the most to me.

 

I think I probably did that too. I know A Thousand Suns is groundbreaking. But it doesn't tickle my pickle like others

 

Reanimation > the rest

 

Still never listened to Reanimation lol

 

I can't usually make it all the way through Reanimation

 

Most hyped I've ever been was when I saw them in junior high and they opened with Don't Stay. First that beat kicks in then the opening riff. MOSH.

 

I'd do anything to see them play that album front to back. I don't remember if they already did

 

They did Hybrid Theory front to back I think, as far as I know they've never done the same for Meteora.

 

Who knows, maybe they'll do a tour for its 15th anniversary in 2018. Plus it is only 30 mins long right ?
