>> ^ghark:

man that description is a bunch of nonsense, they are still the same band they just softened up their music and used heaps of slo-mo in the video.

Haters got to hate.


This is also the most mellow song on the album. I can agree with a lot of what you said. In fact I initially a few songs of LPs when they came out. Then I hated them by their second album and I still can only listen to remixes of a few songs; the rest feel like I'm getting an ear infection drilled into place. The albums to me are far "pop" aimed and were a complete teenage angst phase type music, in my music listening experience (it also explains their initial fan base. But, they're getting older and their tastes as well as their music will change). They were very young when they started. I know that from when I was twenty to know that my music (hell, everything) dramatically shifted.

I used to be an old school rap enthusiast and now I'm more of a Tool--metal/rock/progressive rock fan (like The Mars Volta, Lacuna Coil, Boston, The Beatles, Dream Theater, Soilwork, and Opeth--and on occasion I listen to Dr. Dre, Snoop Dog, The College Boyz, Cypress Hill, Icecube, and Eminem--who happens to be the only current rapper I musically like, Kanye West is O.K., but his personality tries my ability to like those songs, harshly.

Look at the video below that comes up at the bottom of this video(Linkin Park: Waiting For The End). See if that has any different value to you. Hopefully, it's listed below or you'll have to find it (I doubt you will look for it though, as it sounds like you hated them the day they came out and never gave them a second chance, especially since you took time out of your day to post your hate; I rarely do the same either, as bands do accrue a "reputation", like Nickelback--who I hate fiercely). It has much more impressive visuals than this slow-motion video, but shows "a bit" of their differences on the album. That's as far as I go in defending their NEW album; but you're free to go ahead and hate.

I doubt you've heard the album at all (the full thing not just the radio elements). As I'd guess you'd have slightly more meat to your hate, or a full opinion. In other words, you hate them for a lot of the reasons I hated them; also due to the fact that it was popular to do so.

This album is episodic; each part starting from the last, which just from that perspective, is a more traditional album and not like LP in the past. That is their main evolution. I should have been more specific that they seem to be -slowly- taking a more rock'n'roll/progressive approach to newer stuff. That's the biggest change. There sound has matured slightly. Mostly the hip-hop/rap styles/styling and the biggest change is in their synthetic/midi board use. Anyway, don't think I'm giving them the easy way out and complete, unflinching support, that has yet to be earned. Maybe in two more albums--if they continue in the same direction...

small edit- I hope I don't sound to harsh talking about you opinion, as I only wanted to make my viewpoint clear. I also changed various areas in my description that I think created your hate to "overflow". I meant evolution in only the most modest of terms, they are still very much a band that needs to change. But, they are taking some of those steps and I commend them for it. Most bands stagnate and rely only on what they know. Again, if you don't think they've evolved their sound I don't think you've given them a fair chance (not that you have to; just don't post your opinion and expect it to be left alone).

I know everything has a start but how did this become dr.dre or Xibit, or whatsa ma whosit. Sure must be a wierd history.

19 is: Kick in the Door - Notorious BIG - couldn't remember the title earlier.
@MrFisk may be able to contribute to the rest - that's all I know.

"Tant qu'on aura d' l'amour", chanson naïve
Trois, quatre !

Depuis qu'on a lâché prise
On voit de la couleur dans les zones grises
Il y a du bon dans la froidure de novembre
Elle nous permet de nous coller plus ensemble
Sous une couette
Tout nus pas d' bobettes

{Refrain:}
Tant qu'on aura de l'amour
De l'eau fraîche et de l'air pur
Un toit et puis quatre murs
Ce sera la joie dans not' cour

On apprécie les p'tites choses
Trop d'attentes vaines rendent la vie morose
À c't' heure si on a l' vent dans face en partant
Ben, on s' dit qu'on l'aura dans l 'dos en rev'nant
Ou vice et versa
On s' bâdre pu avec ça

{au Refrain}

Solo !

On se plaint pas quand y mouille
C'est ça qui fait pousser nos plants de citrouilles
L'été on est heureux quand il fait très chaud
Car le soleil réchauffe nos cœurs d'artichauts
Comme je t'aime
Veux-tu que l'on sème ?

{au Refrain, x2}
