when i first saw One Step Closer i thought that was so weird. it was so different.. and i didnt know whether i liked it or thought it was a joke.. cos i thought it was hilarious when i saw Chester upside down screaming SHUT UP! oddly enough.. i didnt mind the song.. bcos my siblings LOVED it.. and they made me watch it with them each time it came up on tv. i guess i owe it to them. But to be honest i didnt become a HUGE LP fan till late last year.. it took me a while to love them.. and NOW i cant stop listening to them!! i love their music!!
I heard one step closer the summer before the album came out. I was downloading it on napster, and 1 minute into the download I listened to the opening riff, and it's like I got punched in the face by the fist of awesomeness. It was, and still is my favorite Linkin Park because of that.
the first song I listened by LP was In The End.... after a month later my cousin came to Istanbul she said " hey I got an awesome cd, lets listen it" then we listened to OSC and I was just like "wow what was that???"
