Distressing trends in modern pop music
Thrillho:
Neither. Linkin Park deserve all the credit in the world for even still existing and having a record deal, let alone shifting records.
Linkin Park are the first band I ever truly loved as a teenager (aside from Weezer, who I've literally been a fan of since I was six years old). They were my gateway drug into hip hop, into metal, into basically all of the music I never explored. So maybe I'm biased.
But I genuinely think their last two records are fantastic. Living Things reinvents no wheels but it's crammed with hooks and strikes a perfect balance between guitars and electronics. A Thousand Suns, meanwhile, is a baffling concept record about nuclear war that, whilst decades late for being relevant, takes six huge swinging pairs of balls to even attempt to record when you consider the source is basically the nu-metal Bon Jovi known for songs about breakups and shit.

You see, I love early LP. But lately they have felt the need to explore different avenues ... And it's rather boring to me. And I've never heard anyone say anything nice about those last two albums so I assumed you were sarcastic.
Thrillho:
Here's me saying nice things about both records: http://madcap156.wordpress.com/2012/07/18/dead-stuff/
And here's me saying not very nice things about the one that came before it, Minutes To Midnight: http://rockmidgets.com/releases.php?p=20&page=3&id=2063
BeoPuppy:
Those are nice reviews. It's like you done this before.
Anyway, any love for Collision Course?

This. I liked it before when Mike had a bigger part in the lyrics.. I find myself loving any song that he's the "main" lyricist in.
For anyone else that doesn't know, Fort Minor is/was Mike's side project and is completely awesome.
I have no idea why I love his stuff so much even though I really hate rap/hip hop stuff. It's kind of refreshing :)

That is the type of stuff that I don't like personally and thought it was completely retarded to do.. Reanimation was better to me.
