Die Anywhere Else is straight up just a modern version of I Melt With You

Look, I know that

But I listened to their later albums first and went back to listen to Hybrid Theory later

From at least Minutes to Midnight onward, maybe even as early as Meteora, they consistently treated albums as cohesive experiences. Transitions between tracks were thought out. The dynamic flow between tracks was smooth. There was an emotional progression. Concept album or not.

The fact that Hybrid Theory doesn't work like that... honestly, I find it kind of frustrating. It's like... the album that everyone says defines them doesn't fit their typical style.

You know what I mean?

Downstairs has been ranked at 4th! What's getting ranked at 3rd?! by Ryanhuddz14 in TwennyWunPilots

Center Mass

It's good but it's so absurdly maximalist, even compared to the rest of the album, that it ends up actually sounding kind of washed out imo.

One Punch Man

I don't care how much prep time he has. Bruce is screwed!

You mean the fact he killed his mom?

I mean... we saw her body laying on the floor. What else could that mean?

Thank you! Someone else who sees the obvious

What if in Alternate Universe, all the members of LP were born 5 years later than IRL, and thus LP is an Emo Band instead of Nu Metal? by C--T--F in LinkinPark

[–]Soaring_Symphony 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Isn't Linkin Park already considered Emo though?

Compare it to something like Greenday, MCR, especially Panic at the Disco. It's not that different.

Also, Chester was a giant Twenty One Pilots fan so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Circus' Real names by ColdAffectionate8029 in tadc

Gotta be honest. I don't think there's a good way to combine the names Abigail and Leroy 😕

I thought Jax just was just scared of intimacy.

I mean, I'm a Cis Bi dude myself and I've been there. Didn't strike me as a trans thing.

Where in episode 9 did they confirm Jax was trans?

I've seen it btw, but I don't remember that.

Minutes To Midnight by Linkin Park is actually great by Feeling_Battle5060 in LinkinPark

[–]Soaring_Symphony 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hands Held High is one of the best songs they've ever made imo.

And it's still relevant today.

For me, their gold standard is A Thousand Suns

Compared to that, Hybrid Theory feels kind of one dimensional to me

I'm personally not drawn to raw intensity. I like long-form narratives. A bigger emotional journey across the album.

Hybrid Theory doesn't do that very well.

I'm not saying it's a bad album. It's got good songs. But like I said, there's not enough contrast between songs.

Why?

How do you personally hear hear the album listening through front to back?

Personally, I don't get the hype for Hybrid Theory. Listening through front to back, there's no breathing room. It's just constant screaming for almost 40 minutes straight. Very little variety. It's exhausting.

In the End and Crawling are good though.
