Would definitely recommend listening to A Thousand Suns in its entirety. Absolutely their magnum opus. Also should check out the 20th anniversary editions of Hybrid Theory and Meteora. They’re both filled with insane amounts of demos and unreleased songs. Lost, Fighting Myself, QWERTY, and And One are some of the best demos that should have made it to albums
Honestly I grew out of Linkin Park and I haven’t listened to their old or new stuff for years now. I listen to Hybrid Theory like once a year or of nostalgia, but that’s it, I don’t actually get any musical enjoyment from them anymore. But A Thousand Suns is an exception. Such an incredible album. So powerful, so different from everything else they’ve made, and quite unique.
I’m with you. Linkin Park was the first band I connected with and bought CDs from.
As far as vocal talent, I’ve been impressed with Falling in Reverse, especially the round of singles released in the past two-ish years. Ronnie Radke does a phenomenal job with rapping, singing, and screaming. For me, this scratches that itch for the unique sound Linkin Park introduced.
I just realized I haven’t listened to Linkin Park in at least a decade. Thanks for reminding me about them

*sigh* Chester… Him and Chris Cornell. There’s always gonna be a hole in my music-loving heart when I hear either of these guys sing.
My only tattoo is a memoriam to Chester… Dude was my idol, and biggest inspiration.
Mf had an insane voice. Never gonna see anyone quite like him again.
Just hope that wherever he may be, if anywhere, he’s found some peace. He deserves it.
