It's a good album but I'm trying to find out why people are raving over it. There's nothing explosive about it. I like it a lot but Can someone explain what's so amazing about it? I honestly want to know so I can look at this album in a different way

Even if it was just a mediocre album, I don't understand why Linkin Park would top it.
But anyway, Triptykon represents Tom Fischer's absolute freedom of songwriting. The riffs are crushing, powerful, echoey and with ultra rich and dark production, backed up at times by vast feedback, and the best drums I've heard on a metal record in a long time, they're super jazz influenced, and give the songs a real flow while accenting the riffs. The vocals are Tom's signature style of harsh yelling, with actually well written lyrics on anti-religious themes. All this combines for an ultra heavy record with a rich, bluesy, and dark tone.

they stay relevant
lol
Explain to me how they don't then?
If it makes #1 and stays there, like the label is expecting it will, then maaaybe we can call them relevant. The truth of the matter is though that no one cares about them anymore. Not just me, no one.

I think what I liked so much about it was that it took Celtic Frost's Monotheist sound and diversified it, bringing in a whole ton of influences to create a really rich product. It's great that Fischer can write stuff like this at this stage in his career.
"If it makes #1 and stays there, like the label is expecting it will, then maaaybe we can call them relevant. The truth of the matter is though that no one cares about them anymore. Not just me, no one." I completely disagree with that last statement
Obviously these guys are going to get hate from you all because they're not a metal band and I've noticed that a lot of bands that aren't metal get shunned on here. I like them and I thought the album was great so oh well...

It's not that they aren't metal, it's that they sound bad.

I like a lot of non-metal, and they just can't do shit to interest me. The question of them being relevant though, I think is ridiculous. Their time has passed, and they are little more than a chiste in the memory of the popular music listeners.
Chester was hailed as one of the greatest frontmen of all time or whatever...now that the Linkin Park hype is over, has he lost that title? I just remember Rolling Stone - yes I know, not like they matter - having him in the ballfield with Bono

I'd like to know how he received that title in the first place.
I was 9 and listened to the radio. I didn't listen to Hybrid Theory in full until maybe 2006. I think it's one of the better songs off the album, but that is just me.

But now people are like "Linkin Park...that one band, HA!" Which I suppose I bought into "In the End" back in the day when I was 9..
Keep in mind that this was in junior high.
