Linkin Park

Hybrid Theory

The best album ever

Review Score:

(10/10)
Yeah, I said it. Linkin Park is trash.

In many songs, particularly their hits such as "One Step Closer" and "Crawling", the lyrics made me laugh to hysteria because of how poorly-written they are, and the stupid rap-rock integration is even worse.

When you implement INCREDIBLY bad lyrics (it's as if they took random words and then looked in the dictionary to find other words that rhyme!) with some really horribly-placed "turntable scratches" and a REALLY abnoxious lead singer's voice and an annoying rapper's voice, you have Linkin Park. Their drummer doesn't know the meaning of a fill, and their guitars and bass lines are pathetic.

What's even funnier than Linkin Park's terrible performance and song writing skills is that they are POPULAR! This CD has actually made it to the charts, which is the funniest thing I've seen in music in a long time. With all of this awful rap music out nowadays, this is only one very small step above it. Not only does this band HAVE some really poorly-written, unenthusiastic 90's-style rapping in it, but it also performs everything else poorly.

So, we have lyrics that sound as if they were written by a depressed fourteen year-old about how "horrible" the singer's life is, we have incredibly stupid additions of rap culture, and we have others in the bands who can hardly play an instrument. What is so appealing about this group? Who knows...
