Does Linkin Park goes prog?

*vomits all over carpet*

all of modern rock owes a debt to Pink Floyd, but jesus

I DEMAND the inclusion of LP in Prog-Archives at least in the related category! After they release their album, even I will say, "DT who??"

Hoobastank is prog?

Just go on LP's website, the sample song in the begining... no Prog at all.

They should just keep doing what they do best, creating hackneyed, mediocre, hamfisted pablum. I don't understand why you would want that. I, for one, am quite happy to hear that Linkin Park may take their music in a "proggier" direction. Proves that prog is becoming mainstream again. People should rejoice, for crying out loud. I'll certainly check the album out, even if I won't buy it. Hey it's just my opinion, but they should leave the prog to the professionals.

They ARE professionals.

There are plenty of excellent non-prog musicians who write sh*tty music because they think it's what will make them popular. I think it's a step in the right direction for a band to try and write some good music for a change.

And everyone saying it will automatically fail need to realize that their singer is actually quite good, their bassist isn't bad, and their guitarist very well might improve if he's listening to prog music and practicing.

It's like chastising a bully who's trying to be non-violent, saying, "oh, you can't do it because you're a bully". It's the same thing to chastise a band who plays sh*tty music from trying to incorporate progressive influences.

So should we expect a bunch of Linkin Park fans discovering PA and starting to post here?

Linkin Park have said that they are taking influence from seminal prog-rock artists on their new album. The band have been holed up in the studio with Rick Rubin who has immersed them in Pink Floyd, King Crimson and even Emerson, Lake & Palmer records. Mike Shinoda from the band even joked that they have had a Moog synthesiser in the studio from the offset

+++sound of head being beaten repeatedly on desk+++

Speaking to Bilboard, Sinoba... tells fans to expect something different from their previous two long-players, "it's time to step outside the box and try something new."

Like recording an album which does not rely on the hackneyed cliches they've been churning out for the last 10 years or so, perhaps?

Just as well this does not happen the other way around - imagine it; David Gilmour in skater pants & a baseball cap, Gentle Giant on the cover of "Keranng!" magazine, a moshpit at a Mostly Autumn gig, Phil Collins in the charts... ah!
