I've listened to every Linkin Park album besides the newest (which I'm still waiting on in my spotify queue) and all of them have at least a song or two that I really like. Today sucks. Here's one of my favorites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFiNlLt8sJw

massive spider posted:Nah man. Linkin Parks sound was based around their use of synthy hip hop drums and effects in metal. plus the stripped down guitar that typifies that era (no bends, no solos, no fuzz just a wall of dry tight mesa boogie power chords). Chester screams, but it's usually an even, controlled melodic yell, rather than a punk rock yowl or what have you. Songs are all verse chorus pop format, not many extended instrumentals or jams. Also there's the deliberate attempt to invoke a sense of artificiality through the insertion of audio "glitch" effects and the like. I agree with this. When A Thousand Suns came out I was obsessed with the entirety of this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZyDiuzpHCg The chorus is all screaming, but it didn't feel like he was screaming for the sake of screaming. His screaming has a melody and rhythm to it that fits perfectly as a chorus as opposed to feeling completely raw and unhinged like a lot of the other popular screaming songs at the time. It's controlled screaming.

This is what I'm talking about. As long and as drawn out as that last scream is, its clearly a note that harmonizes with the rest of the music, and instead of just ending the scream he even pitch shifts down to another note that fits the song well.
