*Unofficial* Linkin Park thread

[HakManLP]

@zanybelle @theearlywalker no Meteora?

the 7 studio albums:

1. Meteora (4 ever my alltime favorite!!!)
2. Hybrid Theory
3. Minutes to Midnight
4. The Hunting Party
5. A thousand suns/Living things/One More light (they change so often the positions, but what they have in common: it took a longer time to love these ones 2010, 2012 and 2017)

the remix/collab albums:

1. Reanimation
2. Collision Course
3. Recharged (I don’t like this album!!!)

the live albums:

1. Live in Texas
2. Road to Revolution
3. One More Light live

Sideprojects:

1. Post Traumatic
2. The Rising tied
3. Out of ashes

I’m gonna put more text on these tomorrow, but I’m in a hurry

[anomalia]

I’m not able to sort the albums out in order of preference, I’m afraid.
All I know is:

• Hybrid Theory and Meteora have a special place in my heart
• I’ve got a problem with One More Light - the lyrics are fine, clear, mature… but no scream turned out to be silence forever
• everything between the first album and the last one seems to be on the same level of preference to me.

LPU 12
LPU 10
LPU 9
LPU 14
ADU
Meteora
HT

Seriously? These over the other studio albums?

@zanybelle Thanks for the tag. I’ll just rank the studio albums, I’m not familiar enough with the rest. Then again I haven’t listened to most of LP’s albums in ages, so my list right now is based on how I currently remember them.

The Hunting Party
A Thousand Suns
Hybrid Theory
Living Things
Minutes to Midnight
One More Light
Meteora

@rickvanmeijel

These over the other studio albums?

Yes, most LPUs are better than the studios. ATS and Reanimation almost made the list. MTM and THP aren’t really on my radar despite being solid, Recharged and OML were shite. CC I don’t really count as an album, more a collab EP. Oh and I just remembered LT as I was checking the post for typos, so that should really say everything about that album.

@the_termin8r

Yes, most LPUs are better than the studios.

No way man! Some demos sound cool and promising but to rank them above the official releases? A disgrace!

@the_termin8r

Recharged and OML were shite.

Lol!

[StephLP18]

My list

Studio

Hybrid theory
Meteora
Minutes to midnight
The hunting party
A thousand suns
Living things
And my least favorite being one more light

Now to my top 3 of the non studios

1. Reanimation
2. Road to Revolution
3. Live in Texas

Least favorite Recharged

[drounzer]

Meteora and Hybrid Theory are my favorite albums.
Songs from the Underground album, like that one to.
Still my favorite song is Iridescent. Strong lyrics.

[zanybelle]

@theearlywalker glad to see someone else who rates LT so highly! I have to ask, why is Meteora missing?

@Linkineli

burn it down was the first english song i could sing and rap every word along​:heart_eyes:so LT always has a special place

Wow, that’s so impressive! You should record it for us - there’s a karaoke thread somewhere on the site

@HakManLP

no Meteora?

Of course I have Meteora!!! It’s my #1 with HT, they have joint first place

@HakManLP looking forward to hearing more about your favourites, I love the detail. Road To Revolution + Live in Texas would be my top live albums too.

@anomalia interesting take on the albums, although I would thought you’d love THP because lots of screams

@rickvanmeijel you should re-listen to some albums, actually really nice when you haven’t heard them in a while

@the_termin8r

most LPUs are better than the studios.

I really do think the majority of unreleased songs from albums are amazing. I would say ATS with Blackbirds makes it better (even though it was written for MTM).

@the_termin8r

Oh and I just remembered LT

Does that mean it’s on your top 7 list?

@StephLP18 I love Reanimation!

@drounzer Finally, you’re here! Yay!!! Please do post your lyrics when you get a break from work on this thread? I love Iridescent (so uplifting). I’ve also got some lyrics already on my list I want to share with you all

[the_termin8r]

@zanybelle

Does that mean it’s on your top 7 list?

No, it means it’s so forgettable that I only remembered it when I checked my post to see if I covered everything.

[anomalia]

@zanybelle

although I would thought you’d love THP because lots of screams

Off course, screams are important but they must have a good context. An album that consists of screams only would be unbearable I guess.
I really can’t say what album I like the most (if we consider Minutes to Midnight, A Thousand Suns, Living Things and The Hunting Party).

@zanybelle

Wow, that’s so impressive! You should record it for us - there’s a karaoke thread somewhere on the site

Thank you,also for the recommendation​:heart_eyes:but i don’t like my singing voice…I mean i am able to hit the right notes,but only because you can doesn’t mean you should​:joy:

[framos1792]

You shouuuuuuuld!

[drounzer]

When my time comes, forget the wrong that I’ve done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
Don’t resent me, and when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest

That’s how I want to remember people. Not the bad times, but the good times. We all have our bad memories of some people we know. But when they pass away, for me its the best to remember the good memories and times you had with them. To not feel empty, but smile on the good memories

[framos1792]

@zanybelle I thought you said the creation of this thread would stop the posting of images and videos and artwork of the band from the what are you doing thread you failllllll, and during your probation week

just wanted to poke hehe

[Linkineli]

Aww​:heart_eyes:i know i sound like the typical annoying girl that doesn’t want to reviel her voice,but i really am not,but i tell you my voice isn’t nice. I even don’t like my normal talking voice. And recorded it’s the worst​:flushed: so i only sing in the school choir,and for myself at home or wherever

[HakManLP]

@zanybelle Yeah, I’m gonna do this the next days - I promise but when I’m getting into some lyrics or in this case albums, I need some time to wrote all my thoughts and feelings

I’m very happy that thread is back again - Looking forward for some lovely discussions and of course for sharing some thoughts and feelings with all of you

@drounzer nailed it!

[rickvanmeijel]

@zanybelle

@rickvanmeijel you should re-listen to some albums, actually really nice when you haven’t heard them in a while

That’s why I rarely revisit them, it keeps them special. I might listen to Meteora in March on its birthday

@Linkineli

Thank you,also for the recommendation​:heart_eyes:but i don’t like my singing voice…I mean i am able to hit the right notes,but only because you can doesn’t mean you should​:joy:

Do it. Fulfil your destiny and take my place at @framos1792’s side.

[anna834]

@Linkineli

i tell you my voice isn’t nice. I even don’t like my normal talking voice

Be brave!
And listen here, you would be in the best of company.

LP Karaoke Corner

So after realizing we’ve kinda been off topic on the random poll thread for a good while now with @chigokurosaki and my “singing” heavy quotes on that lol, I’ve come to the realization that this might not be such a bad idea if we can tempt more people to join in ladies more than welcome to share in our dorkiness, yes @the_termin8r and @jrtrussell I mean you two lol jk jk At the present, we have @rickvanmeijel @justinkilmer @chigokurosaki and myself ready to go with Numb so we can …

That’s how I want to remember people.

So many beautifully written LP lyrics that really put life into context, and these hit the hardest. As do Until It’s Gone and In The End :’)

I love Figure .09 and listened to it a lot recently, these lyrics are really the building blocks to life (I learnt everything from it):

[zanybelle]

@framos1792

@zanybelle I thought you said the creation of this thread would stop the posting of images and videos and artwork of the band from the what are you doing thread you failllllll, and during your probation week

@framos1792 As you full well know, I’m probably the least ‘popular’ person on this forum currently. Only the other day I inadvertently offended both moderators. To be honest, I’m surprised I’m still here. So yeah, nobody will follow me or my zany ways. I’m the loser all the punk rock bands sing about. I just need someone to cut me some slack and believe in me Damnit people, believe!

@Linkineli I get it, I’d die of embarrassment if I had to record myself singing and share it with others but I just want to hear someone sing+rap an LP song!!! The karaoke thread used to be my favourite on here but nobody has posted anything in a while. It was true LP fandom!

@HakManLP

@zanybelle Yeah, I’m gonna do this the next days - I promise

Don’t worry I’ll wait, I also REALLY want to know your top Blink 182 albums but I need to find another thread to post that question in

@HakManLP

I’m very happy that thread is back again - Looking forward for some lovely discussions and of course for sharing some thoughts and feelings with all of you

I’m just thankful anyone is replying to the thread as otherwise they will close it again. I’m enjoying all the LP chat and love everyone!

@rickvanmeijel

I love this sentiment. My birthday is also March!
