Lets hope other comercial bands do the same, not making their music progressive, but at least making it more inteligent. It is strange though. I never thought they would take that direction. -------------

Linkin Park have said that they are taking influence from seminal prog-rock artists on their new album. Ummm... I wish they wouldn't. They should just keep doing what they do best, creating hackneyed, mediocre, hamfisted pablum.------------- DEATH TO FALSE PROG! |

Great, I hope that the mainstream artists don't start including what they would consider "prog" into their crappy albums.. It's interesting, however for me, because long before I discovered prog, I listened to linkin park. I only like one song really, however, after finding prog I gave up my evil ways. |

Linkin Park could be a good band. They have the ability, I believe, just not the mindset. Their use of electronics and minor soundscapes is really good, I believe, but they probably will never overcome their rap/alt-rock base. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud.

I believe this quote ´proves how Prog they can get:
Incredible,. real Prog artists took an average of one year to release a a good and well developed album, Gabriel takes between 2 to 8 years.
And this mediocre posers say they have 100 Prog songs for one album????????
 Simply unbbelievable.

| I think it's nothing more than a commercial thing. Modern Prog acts such as Tool and The Mars Volta have done very well in recent years, so Linkin Park probably thought they could earn some more money by saying they're Prog inspired. Smells like bullsh*t to me. |

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. ------------- Go and listen to my music. http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31725 |

It's the next (not so) logically progressive step... LP already was two-thirds ELP -- albeit in acronym only, of course. I'm glad to know of it... more people might be inclined to hear the bands that Linkin Park cite as influential to their new album. |

+++sound of head being beaten repeatedly on desk+++
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! -------------  Jon Lord 1941 - 2012 |

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. ------------- Go and listen to my music. http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31725 |

read about this thread on The Comatorium and decided to bring it back up again....now that the single's been released, has anyone's opinions changed? They definitely sound different, but its generic as hell (IMO)

I DEMAND the inclusion of LP in Prog-Archives at least in the related category! I've done some research and it seems they're going to have a 24.15 minute song in their album with guest stars Robert Fripp and Roger Waters, plus Michael Jackson who will take care of these two stars' kids while they're away touring with THE PARK.
f**k, well, what's next? I think I heard rumors of Snoop Doggy Dog teaming up with Beyonce and Daddy Yankee to release a new concept album "Yo' Prog grillz'n'bitches Vol II - Cut' ya' time in half" .... And then, of course, Timberlake will follow.
But who knows LP will end up becoming the new Genesis of the current generation....
In 20 years people will be talking about how LP'd drummer drove the band to pop music while Sinoba went to have a successful solo career. -------------

I find this funny because Shinoda's solo project "Fort Minor" was pretty successful (from what I heard), their drummer is the most talented member. When thinking back to the bands I listened to before I got into prog, LP stood out as one that could've been an amazing progressive band if, you know, they weren't so into nu-metal or rap. |
