Wake up Saturday morning

Steal this album wasn’t bad but it was a clear departure from self titled and toxicity

I use to listen to linkin park so goddamn much, never realized how edgy that shit was but it's funny how I was attracted to it all the same. No coincidences here.

I hate soad but I-E-A-I-A-I-O gives me the good type of chills great song

First two albums were great

>pop in self-titled SOAD CD
>play Halo 2 all morning
>spend the afternoon with friends playing 8-player system-link matches
Goddamn that was a glorious time.

Literally me when I was 12.

Malakian was an obnoxious asshole that stole the spotlight in the last 2 SOAD albums, IMO.

To be fair a lot of it was about Chester's drug addiction and abuse he suffered as a child.
Of course most of us were edgy fucking teenagers
Minutes to Midnight has grown to be my favourite album over the years

That album was where l lost interest because "Wheres the guitars? What is this gay shit?" Boy if only l knew

Bleed It Out is absolute GOAT

I've randomly had Cigaro stuck in my head for the past 5 hours and then this thread pops up.

YERY true, is that the one with the 17 second scream? There was also another one that l liked but that was sadly it, rest was just ok/boring

WAKE UP (wake up)

I personally love the two albums, it feels like if Simon and Garfunkel went insane.

Nope. It's a song by a band called Rabbit Joint that was uploaded to Napster as an SOAD song.

My favorite bands when I was a teenager are still my favorite bands. Coheed and Cambria, Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, Shinedown, and SOAD. That said, the only one really still making absolutely, objectively great music is Coheed and Cambria. Breaking Benjamin just doesn't have it anymore, their last two albums were full blown generic and boring, I couldn't name a single song off those if I tried. Shinedown sold out massively and their last two albums were basically unlistenable Imagine Dragons clones, which is an utter shame because they had so much soul back in their first three albums. And Chevelle is still alright but having seen them live a few years ago, they were surprisingly disappointing so that kind of hurt them in my eyes.

nah, I grew out of them once I hit about 16y/o; I saw them perform at Download a couple of years later, though, and despite not being into them or anything like that scene of music, it was good fun

Can't believe the classic "say a common misconception" joke went right over my head lmao whoosh lol

demo tape version of sugar is better than the album release

I dunno, I just can't stand the screamo / overly aggressive vocals anymore. It feels so edgy and childish to me. There are some artists / bands I listened to endlessly in my youth that I still enjoy today but SOAD, pop/punk and nu-metal stuff ain't making that list.

I was the complete oppisite. I hated Linkin Park when I was a stupid teen because I thought is was edgy and therefor bad. After actually listening to them years later I realized that it is edgy but the actual songs are really well put together and the edgefag shit just makes it even better once you stop taking it seriously. I had similar opinions of shadow the hedgehog too

you fucked up OP

you didn't say:

>WAKEUP
etc etc etc

like the fucking song that was popular, then SoaD fucking died and went away.

i don't keep up with it, but when did they 100% die out, because i fucking KNOW they aren't alive making albums in 2019.

they went on hiatus in '06, but have done some gigs with their old material here-and-there since

well then Yea Forums, fuck you
i ain't listening to a mostly good album of anything when i can make a super album of EVERYTHING good from that band

That's understandable, I have a few compilation discs for bands that I can't be bothered to collect for or are just good for singles. Still doesn't compare to an album where the tracks come together for one cohesive sound and experience

This a collab album between one of my favorite solo guitar players, Serj's studio and a few other singers.

Awful bait

I agree with the other user

you now remember the Wu Tang Clan - Shame on a Nigga cover that SOAD did

Because SOAD is shit themselves and anybody who likes SOAD has shit taste

Dude, linkin park was for normies. True edgelords like me listened to Tool.

They're gonna make another one eventually.

lmao harsh

Depends on who you ask. John and Shavo have said they are, Serj and Daron have said they probably aren't.

>the vocalists have said no
so it's a no, then

No, pretty unlikely. Both Serj and Daron came out last year to answer this question in some interviews. Serj has no interest, he doesn't like the direction the band was heading towards (he viewed the odds of them selling out as an inevitability by doing another album, essentially continuing to spread an anti-capilalist message by selling millions of rock albums struck him as hypocritical and ironic in a bad way) and I guess he doesn't even like the style of music they were making to begin with. Daron basically admitted that everyone but Serj is on board and they can't convince him otherwise. There were also some hints of tension between the two in their back and forth comments about it so I get the feeling they don't get along well anymore either.

no and I was lucky enough to catch their massive concert in san Bernardino back in October, might be one of their last performances ever
they put on a great show too

Well, I don't really know how popular he is so I mentioned that just in case.

I know a couple of GnRfags who have never heard about him before though. It doesn't help that a lot of them seem to dislike him.

Serious question, is rock music dead for good? Most young people (of any race) pretty much only listen to hip-hop. Even rock radio stations play more pop music than rock/alternative.

I once got called a 'System of a Downer' in school, I look back on the insult fondly

it's enjoyed into other things like modern alternative shit, what you call rock is pretty dead tho

stop just listening to charts music if you want to listen to rock, user

>and I guess he doesn't even like the style of music they were making to begin with
but his solo album was pretty much SOAD

Impossible to answer without knowing your definition of rock and dead. It's obviously not huge like it used to be, but it's still around and popular enough.

As a non English speaker I really liked the style but didn't understood a word what they sang though. I dropped Minute to Midnight, because the style was completely gone. Dropping Chairman Hahn was a complete mistake.

As a result LP and I grew apart. And frankly Chester's death didn't hit me as hard as it would have had it happened 15 years ago. I didn't even recognised him when they showed pictures as him. I always knew him as the blonde guy with glasses.

When a Led Zeppelin cover band is winning Grammys, yeah. I’m thinking it’s dead for fucking good

People may not like or understand hip hop but it mutates like a metroid into a new innovative popular style every 3 years. Example: It was trap and now it’s emo rap

No, just the edgelord post-grunge kind from the 00's like SOAD, Disturbed, Korn, Breaking Benjamin, Linkin Park, etc were. More classic style "dad rock" is making a huge resurgence with the likes of Greta Van Fleet becoming huge and Bohemian Rhapsody making Queen popular again. Also, radio stations aren't a good metric. Plenty of great current rock bands will never be played because they don't bring in the money trash like 21 Pilots and Imagine Dragons do.

His first one maybe. He has five of them.

I had no idea, I only listed his first one with 'empty walls' on it; I think it came out around the time Halo 3 did

Nine Inch nails and SOAD were my child hood, I still love then
Nine Inch nails is still amazing too

check your local artists. go on bandcamp. no genre will ever be "dead".

I kinda get what Serj is saying.
The first one's style was more towards Hardcore Punk.
This

could've ended up on their first album, but it got shafted and became Mr Jack in Steal This Album. Notice the difference.
Toxicity and Steal This Album were a compromise between their initial style and mainstream friendlyness. It was OK. STA being a solid B-side but it felt unfinished and I wonder how it would've turned out hadn't it been leaked.
4 and 5 are OK, but too soft for my tastes.

Debut is totally their best album
I wouldn't even call it Nu Metal, it's more of an Alt Metal with genuine experimentation

Thoughts on Linkin Park's last album?

The most recent BB album was better than the other recent ones. Ben's the only original member at this point due to legal fiascos that kept the band in hiatus for years.

Coheed's great though, real return to form this album.

When has SOAD ever been numetal?

from album #2 onwards

This is what I was getting at here nu metal is garbage, and I don't get why nu metal fans like SOAD.

Even if, who would listen to it?
The youth back then was pretty left-wing and despite the edgyness actually very optimistic and creative (judging by the political parodies dropped on Newgrounds).
Today the youth is strongly right-wing and the old guard outgrew this style of music and also their political beliefs. It's not like they can't turn back, but life fucked them hard. Life always finds a way.

But they have zero songs with rap in them

Fuck you!
RATM is great!

I would have also killed myself if I made that album.

this is white trash as fuck

Nu-metal was never really a genre. It was just a blanket term for a lot of late 90s to mid 00's bands that were heavy, but didn't quite fall into the traditional strata of metal genres.

But two had guitar solos, what the fuck are you on about?

This is an uncommon sight, usually I just get shit on here for liking them for some reason. They must be a bigger pleb filter than I imagined.

I don't know about that recent BB album though. I like "The Dark of You" on it, but don't really remember the rest. It was definitely better than Dark Before Dawn though, I'll agree there.

I don't know what peoples' deal is, I've loved Coheed for years. Bought every album on release since GAIBS IV:FFTEM.

I was more of a Marilyn Manson and NIN guy

Unfortunately a lot of bands were marketed specifically for that.
But it was a short lived genre. Rap rock was like dead in 3 years.

It's more complicated. Back then glam became the domineering factor of metal, so metal bands like Alice in Chains stood out.
Same with Nirvana, which is technically a punk band.

I just chose that vid randomly. Fuckin christ man I didn't even notice because I wasn't paying attention to visuals.

I don’t care, it’s ok to like shitty cringe music sometimes, nostalgia is a hell of a drug

>learning to play Counter-Strike while listening to QotSA and skipping school to listen to even more music
I didn't play it right back then, but God I have nostalgia for my awful existence.

Except for Ska

This thread is really strange, this monday and 3 of my buddies planned a halo 2 lan match and to listen to nu metal

You learned about confirmation bias today.

steal this album is shit

Ska was only lined by tonedeaf people and once people learned what tone was it was garbage to everyone.

Ska of Red (Touhou) is ok tho.

Zoomer here. How is the life without fortnite and smartphones back then?

you're shit

I used to listen to Linkin Park all the time a decade and a half ago, Meteora and Hybrid theory were actually the only albums I liked from them. Playing Free Rider 2 and Age of Empires and watching shit from Newgrounds and Stickdeath and making shit stick figure animations with Pivot were defining parts of what makes me who I am. I wish I could go back to simpler times when life didn't hurt so much.

I actually pity people who don't know what life without a smartphone is. It's like everything you did had your full attention and you never had this little rectangle of constant distraction that keeps you wired to the whole outside world joined at your hip. The human race would unironically be better off it cell phones just stayed as flip phones.

Mesmerize and Hypnotize are the best albums tho. SOAD became even better with the release of each album.

I rarely see anyone talk shit about SOAD. Are they just universally loved?

28 year old boomer here. Imagine riding your bike to your friends house unannounced to see if they could come hang out. Imagine spending the entire day with your friends during the summer without your parents having a way to check up on you or interrupt. People were able to have a conversation without distractions. Life was simpler and somehow more genuine.

They've still got a pretty different sound and didn't just fall in line making generic music to ride the nu-metal wave. There's way more awful shameless bands to shit on like Creed.

I think when most people hear numetal they imagine Fred Durst and his whiny fucking faggot voice, punchable douchebag face, eternal that kid with the flame shirt. Soad did their own weird thing, pretty sure most people considered them alt metal anyway

It was great, we actually had to get together in person to play multiplayer games.
We had goldeneye, smash bros, twisted metal, etc. We shit talked each other in person and biked to the gas station for energy drinks and candy. We'd all gather around the TV at 6PM for new episodes of Dragon Ball Z, and Rurouni Kenshin, and later that night before bed toonami played Yu Yu Hakisho, Inuyasha, FLCL, and Cowboy Bebop. Even some less popular stuff like Lupin the Third and Cyborg 009.
We still had the internet, we got to go on Newgrounds and play free flash games and watch funny flash videos. Battle.NET was going strong and we'd take turns playing Tower Defence maps and Dragon Ball Z maps. Warcraft 3 was on the horizon with casual mainstream WOW nowhere to be found. We found Yea Forums when it was a new site, and the rules of the internet still applied. We played the game.

I was there when Monster was first released, we were like little crack heads on that stuff.

Man, I still listen to all that shit.

Sorta. The modern form of rock music is indie style bands like Of Monsters and Men. Ironically, I think this is actually an improvement over the post grunge and nu metal bands that we grew up with. Even with pop music I would say Ed Sheeran is far more talented than say the Backstreet Boys because he actually plays his own instruments and writes his own music. Mainstream music is sorta better than it's ever been, but the quantity of new bands has diminished by a large margin. I remember from 2000-2004ish there were a massive influx of one hit wonders like Adema, Quarashi, Bad Ronald, 12 Stones. It felt like there was a large variety of bands out there. Now it's only a handful of newish bands like Imagine Dragons and Kings of Leon mixed in with 90's - 00's staples like Weezer, Smashing Pumpkins, etc. It doesn't feel like new bands are being pushed as hard anymore.

I had to download porn from Kazaa on the family computer in the living room on a 56k modem. If I had a fucking smartphone I would have stayed in my room all day fapping to porn. That would have literally been a dream for teenage me. Fapping to porn in the comfort and privacy of my own room. HOW THE FUCK CAN ANY OF YOU KIDS GET ANY SHIT DONE TODAY WITH ACCESS TO A 24/7 PORN DEVICE. FUCK.

By knowing how to disconnect and learn porn is not everything. I can have porn whenever I want but I jack off every two or three days since I’m not orgasm driven incel

people not just whipping their phone out to search something on google was far better for having conversations and debates; I wouldn't trade the convenience it's brought for nostalgia purposes, though

im gonna slap you through the fucking internet

Sorry cousin introduced me german thrash metal and nothing would be the same

You sound like a faggot. It's perfectly fine to critique a thing you love.

This. You couldn't just text, check twitter, discord, or whatever else kids do now. You just set a place to gather at, like an arcade, and asked for an allowance if needed. You'd just sit your ass down and watch a movie. If it wasn't keeping your attention, you would just banter with friends instead of pulling out a phone.
Only girls were known to require constant communication. If you ever see a 90s kids movie, there's that trope about an older sister always on her corded phone.

Why has Linkin Park become the defacto face of "cringy nu-metal"? Korn and Limp Bizkit were unironically a lot worse and edgy. Hybrid Theory and Meteora are actually pretty good albums still.

Horse The Band is so fuckign good
