Having been a lifelong heavy metal/hard rock/class rock fan, I did think that Linkin Park's first 2 albums from 2000 and 2003 were pretty damn good. Since then they have never recaptured the heaviness or even close to the same energy and vibe, but at least they were still a "rock" band to some extent. That said, they just released a new album and they went full on pop/r&b/boy band. Every song on the album is bland, boring, light and poppy. Painful to listen to. That is all. Carry on now.
RIP Chris Cornell
