To me: Old Linkin Park is like a Magikarp. They seem to do the same thing over and over again but people still love it. But then after Minutes to Midnight released, they became New Linkin Park and they're like a Gyarados. They're freaking awesome but people still want that Magikarp back. Personally? I love Magikarp, but I really love Gyarados a lot. Random thought xD
Who seriously wants the worst Pokemon in the game when it evolves into one of the top 5? I want LP to keep getting better. I want them to get 4 different elemental attacks and be able to kill anything in one hit.
Simple: HT/M: LP was an egg MTM: There were some cracks on the egg shell. ATS: Spread the wings, here comes the bird. People want them to be an egg again so they can hold it in their hands, they are tired of catching the bird.
Hybrid Theory - Caterpie Reanimation- Caterpie on steriods Meteora - A piece of dirt in the ground that caterpie moves through Minutes to Midnight- Metapod A Thousand Suns- Fucking Lugia, fuck Butterfree.
Hahaha, I like how long the Pokemon reference lasted in this thread, but yeah. I can kinda see the band merging their older sound with the new even more in the next record. ATS is by no means a transitional record like MTM was, but instead a brand new start the band can learn from and incorporate into their future releases.
