Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinions, but Linkin Park is one of the worst bands of the last 30 years. Maudlin and cliche, every single Linkin Park song is based on the same formula and thus each of the songs sounds the same.
The two singers say that the band gets the "pissed off" sound because they were ignored in high school. You're kidding, right? I stopped caring about high school when I graduated high school and went onto the next thing. I really don't see much difference in Linkin Park and "boy bands" like the Backstreet Boys, except for that they perceive themselves as being "hardcore."
In all of their efforts to be "unique" and "not mainstream," Linkin Park has succumbed to the generic angst-y sounds that plague this generation of listeners.
