Oh, boy. This hurt. Firstly, I'll just say that Linkin Park never fascinated me too much. While I never thought they were among the worst of the nu metal scene, I never bought on to their popularity after they moved on. I only listened to this to see what the massive fuss was about. Honestly, this makes me feel bad for the fans that expected the more rock-oriented sound that the band was mainly known for. This new sound direction relies on drum machines, out of place electronica beats that don't fit the band's overall sound, way too much sampling, and a complete disregard for the fans that got them this far and kept them relevant when the nu metal craze originally ended. Aside from Chester Bennington's borderline childish complaints towards the fans' preference to their more rock-oriented style, the lyrics to "Good Goodbye" in particular are like a middle finger to those oldschool fans ("I've been here killing it longer than you've been alive, you idiot. And it makes you so mad."). If you can make me have such feelings for a band I previously never cared for, you're doing something exceptionally wrong. One More Light has absolutely no light to it.
