Honestly, I think that the LPA has a batter layout, small but very very nice community, awesome images and wallpapers, information about the band, better music collection and doesn't go on about OTHER BANDS.
I think LPL and LPA have equal exclusives.
LPL has the better online guide, thats because thats what you're mean't to be.
After all that, you can ban me if you must....lol
I do think that the two sites should get along though, as I like both LPA and LPL for your different LINKIN PARK news and exclusives.
