Thanks for the new thread!

Nice additions to the OP.

Thanks, I had a quick Google.

It looks great. The title is awesome too.

Thanks!

Rocksound made Chester Icon of the Year.

**Violent Delights** · 12-02-2017, 03:33 PM

A no-brainer if ever there was one.

Make Chester Proud.

It's just sad that the circumstances had to happen for him to get it. I don't think he would've been chosen otherwise.

**Violent Delights** · 12-04-2017, 06:37 AM

I know what you mean, but it's always the way it goes.

i am glad he made the cover.

It’s nice to see him get the recognition even though the circumstances under which it happened are terrible. And I’m personally a bit meh about outlets that have never written positively about LP suddenly writing complimentary thinkpieces about them (not that Rock Sound is one of those, as far as I know). But whatever.

Speaking of thinkpieces, here is a bit old (from September) but nice retrospective on Meteora.

**fictitious ways** · 12-10-2017, 12:15 PM

I can relate to this.

Quote:

I realized that Chester was saying everything that I wanted to say, but just couldn’t articulate. I enjoyed the loud, brash instrumentation and Shinoda’s rap segments, but the honesty in these lyrics was a revelation. Even the softer tracks like “Easier to Run” were poetic and insightful, but still had a bitter edge that resonated. This was shattering my idea of what music could be. I never knew Chester, but it was like he spoke for all of us that were fed up, angry, and in despair.

listening to One More Light after what happened is such a different experience.

**fictitious ways** · 12-11-2017, 09:34 PM

It really is. It's such a shame that people were so quick to judge the change in sound and not pay attention to the lyrics. (And I'm guily of that as well.) But I know better now and I've really come to appreciate the album overall.

me too, it was definitely close to being on my list.
