Can you say Faith No More? Or Biohazard? They were two of the bands who pioneered combining rap music with heavy metal, while they mixed it with a meaningful message (in Biohazard's case, it was a political agenda). Now enter Linkin Park, one of the more recent bands that it seems everyone is jumping on. First off, nearly every song sounds the exact same, not to mention it sounds like there is virtually no thought process to writing music; the same old downtuned guitars on every track. Not to mention repetitive choruses, contradictory lyrics, and the same harmonies on every song as well. Chester Bennington has an interesting voice however, and he could do a lot better than with this band or this music. This is nothing more than Faith No More for the new generation with downtuned guitars, inconsistent drumming, and annoying rapping. Do yourself a favor, check out Faith No More or Biohazard, they're the real deal.
