FearOfTheDuck Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 If you had to sum up the band's sound in one song, what would it be? I know it's gonna be difficult because of the diversity of their material, but we might as well try. Funnily enough, I'd say Papercut.

Mystery Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 In The End. I chose this song for several reasons. Sonically, because it shows their perfect balance of electronica, rock, and hip-hop. It uses glitched vocals at some points which sheds light on their remix projects. I also chose it lyrically, because in the first three albums (mainly the first two), the lyrics were based off of everyday human struggles.

The problem is, I don't think the band really has a heavy side. You can consider some of the work on Minutes to Midnight, but they always incoporated screaming into tracks with rap in them, making the track itself balanced with different styles.

leftshoe18 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I agree with the choice of In the End since it blends most of what the band is known for into one neat package. Another good choice would be Forgotten. It has some melody to it in the verses, get's heavy in the chorus, and contains rapping, singing, and screaming.

maxstar Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 New Divide It describes Linkin Park non-stopping music and idea activity, they're crossing all new borders that stay before them, they always achieve something new, create new things, realise their great ideas. So I sum up Linkin Park with this song, their life is always non-stop, chaotic like the song's rhythm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPlover Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Only one song ? That's hard but i choose One Step Closer this song IS Linkin Park. Maybe cuz it's their 1st single Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Fucking Awesome. What if this was a demo title for Empty Spaces? That could still work haha. Empty Spaces - shows the atmospheric build up, progressive characteristics, and emotion of their latest work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty Spaces - shows the atmospheric build up, progressive characteristics, and emotion of their latest work. This is how I see it. Empty Spaces sums up the band because they like ripping their fans off. In this case making a 10 second clip a track. I joke I joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FearOfTheDuck Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 I don't get why Empty Spaces gets so much hate, yet nobody ever mentions Foreword in a negative light. I think it's because Foreword is the intro to an album with no interludes, whereas Empty Spaces is merely a tiny link in an album full of interludes. I've actually put Empty Spaces and When They Come for Me together on iTunes because Empty Spaces just sounds weird otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twiilite Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Papercut sums up LP's old sound. Blackout would sum up their new sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) I don't get why Empty Spaces gets so much hate, yet nobody ever mentions Foreword in a negative light. For me, several reasons. Foreword was placed at the top of Meteora, meaning you get it over with. Plus, it blends well in Don't Stay. Empty Spaces was the JUST THE FOURTH TRACK on the album, and already THE THIRD INTERLUDE. It seems like it took over three minutes just to hear a full song, and you had to get back to the interludes. The transition from BITS is smooth, but WTCFM ruins all of the "build-up". No matter what you say, it is useless. Serves no purpose at all. "oh but liek d00d you can hear it underneath wtcfm". Exactly. We don't need two copies, making it even more useless. Edited December 10, 2010 by Mystery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDREUS240 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I think theres a song for every album that sums them up for that era. Hybrid Theory- In The End Minutes To Midnight- What I've Done A Thousand Suns- The Catalyst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
