I honestly haven't listened to anything Linkin Park since 2 (and I was obsessed with the first 2 albums)

I've heard singles from some following stuff but it's all so fucking different. I'll still listen to old stuff when it comes on the radio but damn did they change


3 (Minutes Til Midnight) ditched too much of the electronic sound they had in 1 and 2, and went more straight rock, which would have been fine if they didn't also ditch Shinoda on almost all the songs, and half the album wasn't this soft rock/super emo shit.

4 (A Thousand Suns) I hated almost instantly, because it's sooooooooooo out there. However, future listens have lead me to think it might hold some of their best stuff, and be the purest form of "evolving" their sound since 1 and 2. It's got enough Shinoda and electronic sound, but is less angry. Many of the songs kinda sound like an epic journey. I would recommend giving it a try. And some tracks like Wretches and Kings is straight-up old school LP.

5 (Living Things) feels like they are trying to get back to basics, but make some of the stumbles they did in 3. Some of the album's best tracks sound too made-for-radio, and others sound too different. Still, not bad.

6 (Hunting Party) really feels like the closest to to 1 & 2 yet. The anger and fire has returned, with lots of Shinoda appearances. It still doesn't *quite* have enough Chester vs Shinoda stuff to feel like original LP, but nothing probably ever will at this point. Give it and try and skip the other albums, if you feel like only trying one.

7 (One More Light) is fucking hot, flaming trash. Holy shit, I could barely make it through the album. It's 100% soft-pop (yes, pop), commercially produced crap. Each song is literally indistinguishable from each other, and the entire thing feels like it was make my an executive telling them to make safe, bleach-washed radio songs. There's not a single redeeming moment on the album, and you could be forgiven for not even knowing it was LP.
