Have you all heard the new Linkin Park song or seen the new video? It's very U2-esque. They seem to be maturing which is good. Many bands/artists nowadays don't grow so it's nice to see their progression. What do you all think of their new sound? They rocked on SNL on Saturday!

ya know, I was really looking forward to their new stuff. All the interviews I read were basically about how Rick Rubin helped them escape the rap-metal rut, how they matured, blah blah. I saw the new video and well, there it is. I still had a glimmer of hope until I saw snl. That second song was pretty fuckin bad. for real. I dont know about these guys....

nah,dance ..wasnt feelin it at all. Rap metal is over( thank God), and its cool that you;re feelin the new material. what ever floats your boat. You know how it is but nah, def. not my cup of tea.

what new sound are they going for now? i'm guessing it's something like extreme or matchbox twenty, with a bit of a NIN-lite edge. am i right?

almost think lots of screaming during the choruses. LOUD ass, larynx busting blood curdling temper-tantrumed out screaming. I had medium hopes for this. All for naught.

oh it's all good. i understand it's not your cuppa. i honestly think they are one of the very few bands from that rap metal genre that i see potential in as far as the future but we'll see. by the way, i like chester's new look. he's going a little more glam/ punkish.
