I don't really think that they are ending with oml. Seems like they will prob continue, based on some comments from the band
I can't say there's really an album from these guys I properly hate, but Meteora really stands out as the one I can point at and go "Yeah I could do without that one"
Agree heavily with the excess tracks comment. If you’re gonna fill half an album with interludes the other songs better kick ass.
They definitely got better on each of the first three albums. I can also understand preferring ATS to the first three, but MTM is my favorite. The last three are all weaker as a whole than the earlier ones though, with THP being the low point.
Finished the discography. Keep in mind that I just heard all of these for the first time, so have no real nostalgic attachment other than the singles: ATS>MTM>M>THP>HT>LT>OML OML isn't as bad as I was expecting but it's still a shame they had to go out on this one. I also expect putting Hunting Party above HT to be controversial. Glad I finally went through their albums, sad about the circumstances that led to it I wonder if Mike will make Fort Minor his main project now?
Really dig these songs. On a creative level, Mike's definitely the core of Linkin Park, and this EP is a strong reminder of that fact. Whatever he does going forward, whether under Linkin Park, Fort Minor, or Mike Shinoda, I'll follow him. Nothing to say about the emotional aspect of this that wouldn't reiterate the obvious.
