So linkin park are back!

[0175westwood29]

I’m a big fan, and I’m a big fan of the new line up looking forward to the album 

 

it made me start working on a cover of the latest single 

 

 

 

yes there will be hate and some very wrong X and Reddit stories that are spreading around but that’s social media for you I for one don’t any to let’s trolls win 

[Doctor J]

The one where the new singer supported a celebrity rapist because he was a scientolobuddy? Yeah, that's a messy start.

 

Always found their self-pitying misery-porn lyrics unbearable and the new one is no exception.

Thanks this explains everything pp are complaining about, she clearly isn’t a supporter is she

I always liked the band and I wasn't sure if they could continue without Chester but the new single is terrific, I like Emily's voice and it fits the LP sound, I hope they have continued success, back with a bang !!

Same and the long interview they released clears up a lot of question I had tbh

 

if wasn’t a sudden thing they made sure it was right, yes on the live show there were vocal slips not helped by the awful mix where she was so loud. However Chester wasn’t always perfect either ppl just forget this and put him in an untouchable place. 
 

looking forward to the new album

It's one side of the story. The other, to save people googling

And for anyone wondering why she was asked to attend, attempts to intimidate witnesses, prosecutors and anyone else who conspires against them in cases against Scientologists are not rare.

But she didn’t attend…….or harass, I’ll believe her over a bitter old man, also do you think Linkin park won’t have known and also obviously know this is complete trash……

You think the guy from sum 41 was a better choice……..

 

the girl from stand Atlantic would have been cool, but Emily has better clean singing I do think in the live show she push the dirt a bit to hard maybe feeling she had to lean into it more due to the occasion and wanting to impress, it’s her first show and reveal her versions of in the end and and what I’ve done and lost tbh were fantastic!

She did attend. That's the point. She says it in her statement. The real purpose of why she was there, well, we'll each believe what we want to, I suppose, but I'd recommend doing some reading on intimidatory tactics used by Scientology, just so know fully understand what you're readily dismissing as "trash".

I'm so glad that instead of reading about people's enthusiasm for music, I get to enjoy this self righteous squabble instead, there's a real shortage of this stuff these days.

I like Linkin Park a lot but having listened to a few songs now with Emily, I'm afraid I'm not convinced. She seems to have a decent voice but when she goes screamy, it goes flat and very unmusical to the point of sounding fake or forced. I'm on the fence on whether they should of just started a new band with Emily or not bothered to reform. I'm more leaning towards just starting a new band with Emily and taking away any association with Linkin Park but throwing in the odd version of a song.

But why should they have to……they obviously feel that this is right and it’s not up to fans to feel they have a say honesty

 

as for her singing I think there was some moments she pushed to hard, and I’m 100% putting that down to the occasion, she’s obviously tried to give it 110% when she didn’t need to, she sounds great on record and I also feel the tour you’ll get another few tracks from the album 

 

the next level of hate is gonna be when LP aren’t hybrid theory heavy

I guess they realised they were missing out on all that early-2000s nostalgia money that’s flying around at the minute.

I love the original LP, but something tells me that this will not go well for them. I read a lot about the case in questiom at the time and the thoroughly horrible tactics us by Scientology to blame, intimidate, and threaten the victims and witnesses. Only the person in question will know how far she actually went, and none of us can speak to that. But if this grows as we’ve seen in previous digging up of past misdemeanours, I think it could be bad for LP. Which is what I meant when I wrote ‘Of all the people they could have chosen’ 👍

BTW the post you responded to was not hate by a long stretch. You seem to have started this thread looking for a fight by drawing attention to the issue in your first post and then overreacting when people pretty much expand on your first post. Why don’t you stick to writing about the music? 

[Machines]

I tried to listen with enthusiasm, but it just isn't Linkin Park to me (I grew up with Hybrid Theory). Some things should stay in the past.

There you go again, is commenting on a bands musical direction really hate?

We can have both, nothing they do now will undermine Hybrid Theory for me

Personally I think that whatever level of detail emerges about this it won’t do them any harm at all. I think they’re one of those bands that are so big that the vast majority of their fans won’t care about this at all.

I think more people will be bothered that they have a female singer and that she isn’t Chester than they will about her personal life.

 

And they’ll still be playing stadiums.

Have to say - other issues aside  - recruiting a female singer was in so many respects a very good decision 👍

I have to say I’m not really a fan and never listened to anything after Hybrid Theory so I don’t have much of an opinion, although I didn’t think the live clips I saw were great. But many of my friends are big fans and aren’t happy about it for various reasons. At the same time I have no doubt that they’ll all buy the record and the tickets once they get over it.
