Chocolate milk generally isn't considered art or creative media. Bad analogy. If people like Meteora, brilliant, good for them, but if you were to speak objectively you'd have a much easier time forming an argument against that than their other albums.
It's not necessarily about which argument is the easiest to make, though Well, not everybody believes that. ;P
You're right, there's no objectivity in art. Akon is no less significant than Mozart and Stephenie Meyer and Dan Brown are probably better writers than William Faulkner and James Joyce. I just doodled a cock in my notepad, someone get the Sistine Chapel on the phone! I'm not talking about how easy it is, I'm talking about how speaking objectively I would say Meteora has less going for it.
Which is why I said "I understand why others don't like Meteora" so I defended myself while I didn't criticize you guys in the process.
Good point sir, but didn't you make this thread? http://www.lpassociation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35805
Which, of course, isn't exactly true for any form of art since critics exist and judge certain pieces in specific mediums of specific genres within specific fan bases with a criteria of intellect laid down ages before them and is (typically) respected by contemporary artists today. That includes Linkin Park. If music was really so none-objective, Linkin Park wouldn't have meetings during every album cycle to funnel out their weaker pieces.
