I listen to about half of Meteora but rarely any of HT

 

Meteora
HT
MTM
LT
THP
ATS
OML

Theres not one album I dislike though. I’ll admit I haven’t listened to them much since Chester passed except for the bracket

 

I'd slide ATS to first place (big jump, I know), but other than that, your ranking is identical to mine.

 

That is a hot take lol, and I'm usually king of those! You don't consider A Place for My Head, Points of Authority, Faint and Numb all great songs?

The new album/our bracket/Chester's passing had me listening to all LP for months. I'm with you where I don't dislike a single album, and only a handful of songs will I skip.

A Thousand Suns
Meteroa
Hybrid Theory
The Hunting Party
Living Things
One More Light
Reanimation
Minutes to Midnight

 

One More Light has really grown on me. I don't think there is a single bad track on it.

 

I would not. They're fine (I would say APFMH, Faint and POA are fantastic live songs, however), but I just don't have the desire to go back to those albums much.

Ranking:
A Thousand Suns
Minutes To Midnight
One More Light
Living Things
The Hunting Party
Hybrid Theory
Meteora

 

We can agree on that! The crowd always got moving for those tracks!

Definitely could change since I think OML might be getting the benefit of some recency bias - I've consistently played it a ton over the last year - but that's it right now.

While I think all of the albums are good or better, I think all of the ones released after ATS were affected by the band wanting to release an album every two years at that point. I think if they just took their time in the studio they would have been even better.

I also wanted them to stay going down that experimental route after ATS. I felt like Living Things was a huge step backwards when it came out and I still kind of do.

And it’s good to see so many people warming up to OML now. While I really enjoyed it when it was released, Chester’s suicide really made it feel like a different album, and in a weird way, made it more impactful. All of the lyrics definitely stood out more afterwards. And not just in that album, they’re entire discography.

* I work out to Collision Course all the time, so I like to include that in the discography lol.

 

It's almost been a year since Chester passed and I am realizing I haven't listened to a single LP song since then, every time I think about throwing something on I get sad. One More Light has been in my "listen to" folder since he passed and I can't bring myself to listen to it yet, I gotta change that soon.

 

I think I am gonna do a full discography run today.

Fuck, Chester was such a phenomenal vocalist. Those power harmonies in the bridge to Papercut. C'mon, son.

 

A year ago today we lost Chester. Him leaving us had a huge impact on me because linkin Park is the band that got me into different kinds of music and responsible for most of the stuff I listen to now. I’m lucky to have seen them live 7 times over the years. Today is a sad day and my Chester rip

 

I listened to their full discog. in remembrance. Seeing as we were doing ranks a little ago, I'll chuck mine up.

I don't get the attitude towards THP. In my opinion, Guilty All The Same, Rebellion, Mark the Graves, Final Masquerade and A Line in the Sand are all among their best tracks.

I'll admit Keys to The Kingdom sucks though.

 

Damn, Keys to the Kingdom is the best song on that weak album

 

Meteorais their best work

 

Pretty cool little tribute jam

 

It was awesome! My body still hurts from that show.

 

I still haven't seen the Sums since their reunion. The need more midwest dates!

 

They're still great live. I didn't know there was a video from here on the internet. It's pretty cool.

 

I'm addicted to youtube and band videos haha. If it's out there, I'll find it!

 

Slash talks unreleased collaboration with Chester Bennington

 

This is cool

 

Damn this is so good. So nice to get one last unexpected song from him.
