Sorry. Don't know why I asked that question either. Guess it is a little unfair. Just wanted to try some insight on why everyone thinks Linkin Park rules and NFG sucks. But it doesn't really matter anyways. Music is a personal issue.
As far as reanimation goes, I don't have much of a problem with it. Other than these following points:
1. Did they have to do everysong? Why couldn't they just do a few and release on the internet instead of making the whole cd over again? Or better yet, work with the same artists but do new songs instead of the old ones.
2. Do they have to release the same singles? The originals were better and they've already been played enough. This is ridiculous.
3. The little skipping voice effect they like so much was way overused on the songs I've heard off reanimation.
4. I don't like techno/electronica/whatever-you-call-it.
I like EP's as well. Except for the fact that they're too short. Then again, I guess that's what makes 'em EP's.
I have Hybrid Theory and I like it. Listened to it a ton when i first got it. However, it's has kinda fallen down my list of frequently played disc's now that I hear it everywhere. Not that I'm complaining about popularity. I hate people who do. It's just that I hear it enough without playing my own cd so I don't listen to my own as much anymore. It's not like it's the band's fault for being popular anyways.
I am somewhat looking forward to the new album as well. I don't think I'll buy it immediately since there will be other cd's I want, but if it catches my ear like the first one did, you know I'll have it. So I guess, I do care.
As far as the White Stripes go, personally, I think........
they suck.
But then again, that's just me. I usually get leary of any band or genre of music that all the critics start raving about. I don't trust music critics.
