Muzaks! Linkin Park

A band that I continue to enjoy years after hearing their first album is Linkin Park.

Linkin Park is an American nu-metal/rap metal band from Agoura Hills California formed in 1996.

As LP have released new albums they have experimented with genres quite a bit, starting with nu-metal into rap-metal and mixing somewhat with electronica and alt rock. Their later albums are a lot gentler and orchestral to an extend while still maintaining their original sound and composition.

I find that with each album they release they try a completely new style, they are constantly evolving something a good band tends to do. LP get a lot of flak for the style of music (and more specifically this song) while people don't often praise them for the fluid nature of their music.

In the end LP have not been apologetic for writing songs about personal issues, political controversies or their unique style of music. And for this I have a huge amount of respect for them.

Three songs (other than the above) that I particularly enjoy are Hands Held High, Bleed It Out and Breaking The Habit.
