last album i bought was Reanimation, LP isnt good anymore, just playin off their name.

SHouldnt in the Rock genre, cuz its not rock music.

Where the hell is the rap/rock? Anyhow this post hits it perfectly on the dot!!!

I aint buying another album ... unless they actually turn this around...which is highly unlikely.

Guys, you do realise that Linkin Park can be "good" without being in the rock genre?

I don't see why it's highly unlikely that LP goes back to their old style? Look at U2, they made Pop and then get back to their old style, they were experimenting. Let's wait and see what the future brings.

But Linkin Park said they were done with rap metal and were moving on, since 5 years ago.

They want to challenge themselves and try new things. Old LP =/= new thing

yes maybe for now, but as they've changed their style recently, they can change again and, not go back to the old style, but compose something more inbetween those two style. No one knows, not even them, they follow their guts and maybe in the future they'll feel like doing something more rock rap or else.

Don't think is about hate or nostalgia, man.The majority of LP fans are Nu Metal fans, and basically changing the music style will result in a new fan base.

I like Radiohead too, and every time I listen a new album for the first time its a mix of sensations - or I hate it or I love it, or simply wished I had bought only 2 songs. That's Radiohead, I expect that from them, they are always experimenting new stuff and the result sometimes is simply genius.

You could say LP is getting alternative too or expanding their "horizons", but the reality is that 1000 suns is an epic fail because It didn't reach the necessary originality for this shift. Probably will attract a boys bands alike fan base though.

I and 1000 other fans listened LP for the epic Nu Metal on their songs. If LP thinks NM is not trendy, or it is sooo 90's, I guess all we have to do is  stop buying their albuns and move on.

Only time will say how this will end up, maybe they'r on the right track who knows? But I'm sure going to miss new songs with that nu metal along with Chester screaming his lungs out. QWERTY forever....

People hate the new LP, because they want another Hybrid Theory. People hate the new Green Day, because they want another Dookie. People hate the new Metallica, because they want another Black album. People hate the new Pearl Jam, because they want another Ten. People hate the new Radiohead, because they want another Pablo Honey, and the same complaint goes on and on. If you don't like their new stuff, you can always listen to their old albums.

I kind of agree with you, though I like the new album. :)

they had rock in there as well

It is true though one genera gets rather old.

only reason I have managed to stick with this group for ten years, is because they change it up.

yet keep connecting elements to keep the body of work cohesive.

But they don't have to be rock or metal. Lets face it; Linkin Park was basically 40% hip hop, 40% rap and 20% electronica back in their old days. They don't have to be confined in a single genre.

To all of you, I strongly doubt Linkin Park would go back to their old style. It isn't challenging for them, and they want to push the boundaries.

But that doesn't mean the next album could be really heavy and intense. but in a different way.
