for ****s sake.
to be honest with you, the first linkin park album had 2 good tracks, and even then by my usual standards, they were heavily sub-par. and then when they said "hey because we can't be bothered to write a second record, have a listen to the first one again, except this time we've mixed in a bunch of MORE crap!!!", i kinda went "wtf? bands don't do that".
they are one of the reasons why i, and about 100 other people in my city (can prove this too) aren't going to download festival this year. now 100 people aren't a lot, but when you take 100 people from every town/city in england, and then add all the people who are boycotting it because MCR are headlining, while other quality acts such as In Flames, Slayer, and Velvet Revolver are playing support, you'll find download this year is gonna be pretty dead compared with past years.
that being said, i don't care, cos i get to see Metallica at wembly
