Linkin Park - Living Things

Never said 40-year-olds can't sign juvenile lyrics. I simply find it a bit pathetic.

I've never owned an LP album, and for the style of music they became popular for back in 2000, I thought they would have died out long ago, but 50+ million album sales and still on the radio regularly and tons of touring and a brand new album, I give them props on that much. Still wouldn't listen to them for the enjoyment of music though.

Well I don't tihnk it's pathetic at all, it would've been a lot worse if LB tried to go for a completely different sound like Linkin Park did.

Just like Slipknot, they are an overrated band

I always love when we use the term overrated. I use it myself, but it's actually kind of silly. You have 10 million people that like something, and then you've got 10 people vehemently declaring it to be overrated. Haha.

Haven't heard any recent releases by the band and the only rap/metal band I still spin with any regularity is Rage Against The Machine. I still think they do that style better than anyone else.

Except Downset.

Downset is great. probably one of the best in that style. certainly one of my favorites, alongside Biohazard.

Oh, I think a lot of bands do it better than Rage Against The Machine, though I do really like them. My comment was my typical response when people praise Rage, because they pretty much copped their style from early Downset.

I actually always liked Rage myself.

I used to have 'Do We Speak a Dead Language' on cassette and I remember the rhymes being quite fresh sounding and the riffs actually being halfway decent.
