As someone who grew up loving Linkin Park, I am hesitantly excited. The single they released is actually pretty good - The Emptiness Machine.
She was great. She’s able to hit those vocal ranges that Chester was able to. Kinda sounds like him too in certain songs.
Looking forward to this new era of LP.
She did a good job but this really made me appreciate how unique Chester Bennington’s voice was.
Just looking for proof she’s currently a Scientologist.
Listened to a few songs then gave up She really needs to stop trying to mimic Chester and just be herself. When she lets herself sing it’s decent. She has a good range but nowhere near the power that Chester had. It’s just not there and never will be.
I’d rather hear her make the songs her own in her most comfortable range.
She needs to learn how to sing from her diaphragm. Like a singer.
She’s a Scientologist. Yuck.
Is or Was? Big Difference here.
Is.
Proof?
And defended Danny Masterson, the rapist.
Dammit. Hard pass on new Linkin Park. I’ll stick to their old stuff.
Yep hard pass not supporting her or the band anymore.
A band dies with its lead singer.
Hot take: I hate when bands switch their singer or a lot of their members and still stick to the old band name.
The only reason to do it is to get the instant reach, but you will always be sandbagging on a name that means something else and a lot of fans will only compare your new lineup to the old one.
Making a new band name means you have to start fresh, but sometimes you can already take some relationships and prestige into your new project (Mike shinoda is a household name outside of Linkin park) and no one will expect a specific style out of you. It just feels like the better thing to do in most circumstances.
I’m torn. I wanna like them and I wish them the best, but this name brings back memories and also expectations. It sticks like tar to every new release and even though that’s not fair, it won’t change until they rebrand into something new.
System would never.
(Can’t wait for this one to age poorly)
Hard agree.
yeah, 70% of what made linkin park linkin park was like just chester. i’m skeptical.
