YAY for the simple fact they chose
Ghostface Killah to be on the second stage for their
summer little festival thingy with Korn and Snoop Dogg.
they also added Funeral For A Friend on the second stage (a solid hard rock choice).

Please enlighten me I'd love to hear what you have to say, unless of course you dont have over a dozen reasons. It always amazes me when people say they could list reasons for something but dont.

YAY!!! One of best bands to come out over the last 5 years.Saw them in January and will see them again in July.Lyrical they arent as strong but musically (guitars,drums,emceeing,vocals) they are a perfect fit and are stronger than 99% of anything out right now.In five years they will still be dominating the charts.I htink alot of people snobbishly rule out any band that recieves mainstream "pop" success. They are one of the few groups who have a strong fanbase in several genres (hip hop, metal,rock,pop,alternative)

Simply put, your attempts to lionize LP by stating that you'd take a track by them over nearly anything else out there (this encompasses quite a bit BTW), is myopic snobbery at its finest. Ironic.

I thought they were good when the genre was emerging. Hybrid Theory was good for about a month then I put it away never to return and listen again. Reanimation was cheaply thrown together in the sense that the fans waited 2 years for a new album and instead was thrown a remix of what they already had. Fans waited again for a little less than a year until when Meteora came out and that's when I heard "Somewhere I Belong" and thought it was good. However, listening to the album I thought the content was too predictable in terms of song structure and much like HT I finally put it away since local radio station KROQ plays their stuff way too much. I finally got fed-up with them after I continuously heard "My December" (a song featured 3 years in a row on KROQ's x-mas CD's) played almost daily until April/May.

Everyone? Maybe not. Almost Everyone IVE heard? Yeah. If thats snobbery, everyone who has a favorite band is a snob because if they are their favorite then they like them better than 100% of bands they've heard.

Great point!!!!!!!! Thats what what Ive been trying to say the whole time. If you dont like what I like, youre a snob, idiot, etc...
Its not about If you like them or not, its the why that bothers me sometimes. Because theyre on the radio alot? Cut it off. I wouldnt watch the same movie over and over just because its on the TV all day. I do realize tho that overexposure can sometimes make a decent song bad, but if I really liked a song (or band) the radio would never kill it for me.

I've only heard the songs that have been on the radio and I consider those pretty bad. They just sound like pre-packaged angst for disgruntled adolescents. They seem to be saying the same thing that a hundred other bands are saying and saying it exactly the same way. The songs convey more of a marketing strategy than any real pain or sense of alienation. Maybe their non-radio songs have more depth, it's entirely possible, but somehow I doubt it.

Not typically the kind of music I listen to. But they went up several notches in my book when I found out they were huge Depeche Mode fans And they're also remixing one the Mode's songs on their remix album out this Fall.

I liked Hybrid Theory when I first got it. I found a lot of the tracks to have the same sound so the CD got old pretty fast. Then I heard a few tracks off Reanimation and that just wasn't my thing. And then I heard their new studio album, Meteora, and it sounded a lot like Hybrid Theory so I didn't bother with the band anymore.
