the soad comment couldnt have been more perfect. i couldnt of said it better myself
It's just an opinion. There isn't anything douchey about Daron that rubs off on the album
daron is so douchey on those albums its not even funny. you can see him getting more pissed every album that people dont think its HIS band. he is a tool bag and the reason soad started sucking and broke up
Yeah too bad he wrote most the songs to begin with

he did and they were good, but he started to notice serj getting most the credit and that pissed him off. so he started to insert his nails on a chalkboard voice into evey song cuz he is a ego douche

He's not accurate actually. Yes he's correct about having 3 drummers being ridiculous but just because he thinks the music sucks doesn't mean that's why they wear masks
The system comment was just a personal opinion. Nothin else
The LP comment was spoken like someone who knows nothing of the band. If they wanted to make a quick buck they would return to their HT sound and not have created MTM or ATS
actually I gave a lot more reasons to slipknot sucking then just their masks. I actually addressed the music aspect of it... Namely - the percussion drowned out the first album. Their songs are horribly simplistic and can be generalized as picking some catch phrase and yelling over and over, and selling out.
the SOAD comment was spot on. I actually like this band. I wouldnt see them in concert, and think they are all gay, but I actually like Serj's vocals and occasionally listen to them on album. they are not even close to top 10 worthy.
I also don't mind linkin park and have listened to all their albums multiple times. Like I said, they engineered it well to make a buck. I can appreciate it for what it is. Link park is like the Backstreet boys of Nu Metal.

Exactly. He even said something similar in interviews.... and brought the bullshit on the stage for performances "its such a lonely day playing with the band. that fucking asshole, I can't stand" - Daron singing about Serj.
I get that Daron was pissed because he wrote 90% of their material, but Serj got most of the credit. But you know what? So fucking what! put your ego aside... Serj's voice is interesting. His (although isnt the worst) is nothing special. he shouldnt have let his ego ruin a good thing.
There was a time when I enjoyed all 3 bands, but never would they even come close to being in my top 10 albums of all time, especially the albums that were chosen.
in the realm of metal with bands like judas priest being on top I think they are at least adequate. plus they are at least original, especially the first album

The drums definitely don't drown out the album. Idk WTF you're talking about
Daron is a damn good vocalist as well and SOAD is definitely top 10 worthy. They're an amazing band
Again, if LP wanted loads of money they would make another HT. They've lost loads of record sales over the last two albums

Seriously, it's almost like you listen to music on whims and don't really understand much about music theory and composition. Just because their last two albums were not received as well as HT was, does not mean that they musically speaking the last two are any different then HT. It just means that MTV wasn't paid enough to really hype their music.
I'll say it again, because it is true- From a musical composition sense, this band is not original and they engineer their music to appeal to a specific demographic. Their target demographic is the 13-19 year old teens that are dealing with teen angst. I am not talking about sells or popularity or anything like that. Their albums are very targeted, and really polished, and they have a very refined formula for making music that was carefully planned out from the success of other bands before them. Everything thing they produce is well thought out, and was made not to be artistic, but to speak to their demographic and make $$$.
Is that wrong? No, not really. It is smart business... And frankly they do that very well. The production quality of their albums are top notch, and they are very successful at getting to their demographic. Only thing is, I'm on to them... I actually like the band for what it is- a engineered teen angst pop-rock band.
Liking Linkin Park is exactly like me saying I like Harry Potter. There is nothing profound about Harry Potter. They took an idea and engineered a series by following a very unoriginal formula. I'd never in a million years put harry potter in a top 10 books list... it is mass market drivel that requires no thought to read it and provokes no thought afterwards. Linkin Park is the exact same thing for music. I like them, but I'd never list them in a top 10 music list because they are engineered mass market drivel with no real originality.
