Yeah i couldn't care less if some of the lyrics are repetitive or cliche or whatever. If there's no use for cool metaphors for something you wanna say just say it like it is. No need to force poetic shit. Anyway for me sound>lyrics
This may sound weird but i don't consider those "shut up"- parts and almost anything else on Hybrid Theory to be screaming. I think it's more like yelling. But when Chester does it live, it sounds more like screaming to me.
Sure, but guitars still sound better to me. The album is still going to have electronic elements to it like we've already heard and even the song structure of GATS wasn't predictable/boring IMO.
Better all guitars than all electronic pop. I doubt it will be neither. Mostly guitars which is better choice IMO. I'm getting sick of electronic music everywhere.
