In Mike Shinoda, they also have a very talented song writer, pianist/keyboardist and rapper. Which, when used correctly can complement a track no end. Linkin Park are blessed with one of the most recognisable vocalist of recent years, Chester Bennington has a truly unique voice. The minimal approach that plagues this album means there are passages that are surplus to requirements and leave you wondering what exactly you are listening to, the structuring of the songs is both basic and nonsensical in tandem. I would go as far as to say this album does not have a single redeeming moment in the entirety of its thirty-five-minute run time.
Linkin Park here on this album, do not do it well, not even slightly. As a fan of heavier music, it is often easy to be somewhat snobby towards pop music, and although it isn’t necessarily something I would listen to, I can appreciate when it is done well. But that’s not where the problem with this album lies, it is simply a collection of dull, bland faceless songs which do little to nothing to catch the imagination. If making pop music is what they want to do, then so be it. One More Light, marks the moment where we (rock fans) have to admit that Linkin Park are no longer a rock band. It’s been slim pickings since then sadly, however 2014’s The Hunting Party seemed like a step in the right direction to getting somewhere close to past glories.

The follow up, Meteora, was also a great album stacked full of hits. Love them or hate them, Linkin Park changed the face of music back in 2000, with the release of the ground-breaking Hybrid Theory rock music became a big deal again, the record went on to sell millions of copies and to this day is one of the highest selling albums of all time, whilst being a gateway album for many people to discover heavy music.
