First off, being a musician myself for over 18 years I have nothing but respect for talented performers and musicians of all kinds. I do feel that Emily Armstrong is a good singer, she has a solid range and a good voice.
I was not expecting her to replace Chester Bennington and I do not think even she feels that she is Chester’s replacement. His passing was very unfortunate and he will be missed by all. He had a voice and scream that could crack into your soul with the raw emotion he pulled. He had a massive influence on Linkin Park and he -is- Linkin Park to some extent.
Now that being said, yes Emily is definitely talented and from the preview song that was released on the From Zero album coming out November 15 this year she holds her own. It will give the band a new feeling and most importantly new life.
What people need to realize is that this is not a continuation in the traditional sense. It is a new chapter and I feel like Emily is (hopefully) going to try her best to respect Chester Bennington and the achievements that he accomplished with the band.
My thought is that I will enjoy the music for the fact that it is music. I am not thinking “she isn’t Chester” or anything of the sort.
All that said I still revisit Linkin Park as a motivational band for exercise, getting hyped up and various other moods. I am happy that the band is living on. I feel like that is what Chester would want is for his band members to continue on in his absence.
