Music Throwback: Linkin Park

Ancient Music Device

I ran out of hours for my Pandora this month. I use it for studying. Usually Ill listen to Cake Radio and I'll skip all the Cake songs.  I've kept it on this station for a long time so it usually just plays songs that I like, but it gets boring cause they just repeat. Lately though I've had some really good days with pandora and they've finally been playing new songs.

Anyways...I've been looking for new music to listen to and guess what I found?....My Linkin Park CDs from middle school! hah. Judge me if you want for liking them.  The first CD I ever bought was by them.  (Nope, not N'Sync or Backstreet Boys...cause my sister bought those :p).  I can't deny their catchy guitar riffs and how their screams spoke to the angst of my emo teenage soul.  At the time they were a hybrid of rap and rock, had cool graffiti, and were one of the few bands with asians.  I remember asking my parents to buy me a CD player and CD from kmart.  I wasn't really one to ask a lot from my parents. I bought my gameboy and video games with birthday money and when my clothes were deemed inadequate I was forced to go shopping...but I really wanted a CD player to listen to my "angry music."

First came Hybrid Theory.

 I also have the remix CD of Hybrid Theory, Reanimation.

And I have Meteora.

Thats as far as I went with them.  They're a different Linkin Park now.  They have a different sound.  They don't scream anymore.  No longer my angry teenage rock band.  Nothing wrong with that though, we all have to grow out of the emo stage sometime.
