@Billiamwoods

Жыл бұрын

I honestly think their music hasn't aged nearly as much as some people say. I think the main reason is just the fact that they were overexposed to LP in the 2000s so everyone started hating them. Obviously nobody makes stuff like this anymore, but it's just insanely crisp and well-made pop music with heavy guitars and rapping. Like, none of it sounds badly made. I would really compare them to RATM in some ways (not just because of the styles), because just the quality of artistry in their music is plain to see. Nobody ever repeated RATM because it was just an insane group of musicians, and nobody makes rap metal anymore, but that doesn't mean the music has aged poorly. When people say something aged poorly, a lot of the time I don't get what they mean. What I imagine it is, is music that in hindsight is derivative and generic. When I listen to The Infamous by Mobb Deep, that album is from 95, it's a boom bap album (a style that's not been relevant in decades), but songs like Shook Ones Pt. 2 would still blow my mind if they came out today. For comparison, I like Drake, but when I listen to his earlier music, it's so clearly derivative of the Bling Era and does a half-hearted attempt at that burgeoning alt-RnB sound. That is something I would say aged poorly, because at the time it was such a breath of fresh air for many people.

For me, saying this has aged it's like saying The Beatles have aged. Of course it has, but it remains freaking incredible. But where the band truly sounds WAY ahead of its time is in Reanimation, their remix album released prior to Meteora. I still think it's one of the most futuristic sounding thing I've heard. I'd be really curious to hear what Brad thinks. It's the ultimate early 2000s album, yet it sounds timeless, in my opinion.

Yeah aged like fine wine for me, can never put me off it

i feel like you missed the point a little bit, since it sounds formulaic because pretty much every other band copied that style they started with hybrid theory and developed further with this one (i'm not saying they're pioneers of that sound, but at the mainstream they're the biggest and most impactful band)

I wouldn't be as into music as I am now (especially heavier music) without this album. I remember being 5 years old listening to this album because my older brother was a fan and to this day if I had to choose is probably my favorite album of all time. I think the entire album Is extremely precise and knowing that they recorded the entire album in a makeshift studio on their tour bus ,while still touring Hybrid Theory, is mind blowing with how good the production is. Could it just be Nostalgia? Yeah, totally. But I don't think it can be understated how much of modern rock/alternative music was shaped by Linkin Park and specifically this album.

Ngl, this is a Brad L moment, I feel like the album is very deserving of at least an 7/8 out of 10 as while I do see the criticism of it being formulaic and being dated in certain areas with Mike’s rapping, it still has that charm which I personally enjoy a lot. However, I must retract my previous statement of being dated in the terms of the instrumentals of this album where I vastly has aged better than Linkin Park’s peers around this time where Nu Metal started to show a lot of repetition issue outside of the big names like Deftones, Korn and System Of A Down which still delivered a very good polished sound to the Nu Metal genre that has aged like fine wine or have become moving away from the genre entirely. That saying, while this album and Hybrid Theory are their best, it definitely takes time to sink into the album and condition yourself to the sound it has as it’s one of those albums you may hate at first then will suddenly just click with you.

WE LISTENING TO PEAK

this is genuinely one of my favourite albums of all time. easily their peak as a band, and probably one of the strongest highlights of nu metal. i think its aged much better than hybrid theory too, feels more mature

I like this album but I have to agree that on the first few listens it was pretty hard to distinguish some of these songs. It may be dated in some parts but I’d argue it’s aged better than many other nu metal stuff of the same era. That’s meant to be a praise on the band but depending on how you read it, might just be a knock on the genre. Either way glad to hear your thoughts of the album

I’m not as big of a fan as I was a few years ago, but LP will always have a special place in my heart. And Chester will always be my favorite vocalist. RIP :(

another thing i'd like to add is that i dont think "not cursing" is taking away from the lyrical approach to the album. in my opinion, it only helped to elevate later songs. when you hear a song like given up off of minutes to midnight, them not cursing on their previous works makes the lyrics of that song hit much more (matched with chester's later passing, which makes the lyrics even more hard hitting)

i think you mistaking LP continuing to build on and maintain the groundbreaking-for-the-time sound they came upon w/ hybrid theory with "going through the motions" especially since this is such an influential album is a gigantic oversight in this review. consistency in your bands sound is not being samey, its being consistent.

@minkeymouce

Жыл бұрын

I disagree on multiple fronts. LP has changed their sounds with every single album they’ve put out. Sure, they all sound consistently like themselves and they never lose their identity (until OML), and that’s a good thing between records. But it becomes a problem when most of the tracks on Meteora sounds very similar without much spice. Also, he judged the music for its quality as music, not its legendary status. That’s like respecting Maroon 5 for being extremely popular for so long instead of slamming the dogshit “music”. He’s a music critic, not a legacy critic.

Its not Brads fault. The cd version has always been sort of compressed, the DVD VERSION LIVE IN TEXAS now thats in MFO the best way to enjoy this album. This sort of proof my theory that a remastered of this album is well over due, but like a really good one.

The b-sides/demos of this album are all so sick

its okay to be wrong brad

This gotta be Brad's worst take of all time. Half the songs he didn't like it he just made up some bs nonsense as a reason for the song being bad

It’s his opinion, dawg. Chill. Plus, he never said he disliked any of the songs. He gave a light smiley ball to most of them. He just thought the album was repetitive and mid, not bad.

yeah, its weird. you don't have to, you can just give the same criticism for all LP songs. The lyrics are really, really, really bad. Depressed teenager scrawling their feelings on their binder bad.

This is unironically one of my favorite albums ever lol, like I can def say it's dated but in a way like "yeah this feels old but it kicks ass and i wish music like this still came out"

WHAT A DISRESPECT TO EASIER TO RUN

A 5/10 is absurd

The album is great.

I hope the LP fans will be nice to you after this. 😙

I kind of want to see what Brad thinks of the later Linkin Park albums more. If he's not a fan of this album, he won't be any more a fan of Hybrid Theory. And if he likes A Thousand Suns for being more creative, not following a formula, then he might like Minutes to Midnight, Living Things and/or The Hunting Party... Not OML though After Meteora, there's a lot less screaming and a lot less rapping but it still happens. Because they happen less frequently, they hit more often when they come. Mike has more of a singing role than rapping and Chester has a lot softer vocals most of the time, and hearing Chester and Mike harmonising together is often a highlight on these albums. Each album post-Meteora also has their own elements that make them unique and stand out in their discography whether that be political songwriting, softer or alt rock, more electronic sounding music and more I still love these first 2 albums. I think because most of their biggest hits come from these two albums though, that when people who have heard a lot of their big singles like Numb, In The End, Crawling, One Step Closer etc. hear these albums that it kind of just sounds like what they're expecting and they end up being kind of disappointed

Based on everything he said, he’d probably rate all their other albums well below ATS

Ok although I'dont agree with your review at all, I still respect that you give it a shot.

Don’t agree with rating but respect for listening to it

The person in the chat who put Gaara vs Rock Lee during Faint knows what’s up

I think Brad really needs to take into account when this was released and when most of the audience here heard it. I was 6 when this came out so hearing this at 9-10 was an incredible experience for me. But today, especially hearing it for the first time, most if not all would find the songs similar in nature and not as impressive.

i haven’t watched the full thing, but i really hope he isn’t completely shitting on the album on a day like this… ☹️

So here I can understand that the majority of the comment section don't agree with Brad's rating

I have been waiting for this ever since you dropped the short

Releasing this today is kinda in b(r)ad taste (get it like the channel name)

His chat got the worst takes I have ever seen😭 they called easier to run an imagine dragons track and said linkin park is like sleep token but worse

This album is pretty special to me. Was never one of my FAVORITES, but when I was a kid it was my best friend's favorite, and since it was pre-streaming era I often wend over to his place to listen to his CD with him. And the whole "aesthetic" of the album was very fascinating for me as a kid, like it all felt a bit mysterious and intense.
