Linkin Park

  • May. 30th, 2007 at 11:22 AM
Despite popular opinion, I find that I kinda dig the new Linkin Park album, Minutes to Midnight.



But then I have a horrible, horrible weakness for this kind of music. The more vaguely political and emo'd up it gets, the more I am there, no matter how much I tell myself that there's no real statement, and everything is artifice. I really should know better. Just close your eyes and pretend I do.

naw, they're american.

i just figure mistakes are all part of finding the good stuff. downloading allows you to skirt it financially, sometimes, thankfully.

Ugh. Ugh, ugh, ugh. This is basically the same as saying "despite popular opinion, I find that I kinda dig the movie Norbit".

And me. But then I would agree with you about My Chemical Romance. And would add lostprophets to the mix.

Just trying to indulge my inner fourteen year old.
