Linkin Park #21 ~ "With his voice, he turned pain into catharsis, authenticity into art, and passion into connection."
 

Thanks for the new thread! :hug: Nice additions to the OP. :love:

Thanks, I had a quick Google. :)

It looks great. The title is awesome too.

Thanks! :)

Rocksound made Chester Icon of the Year. :love:

A no-brainer if ever there was one. :nod: Make Chester Proud. :D

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. :look:

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

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.

I can relate to this. :nod: :sigh:

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

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. :nod:

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

The only reason I'm not putting them on the list is for the most obvious reason, because all would assume it's because of Chester's death, and it partially would be, but it would also be because it's a really good album. :nod:

I'm going to list a few albums/artists as an addition to mine anyway :nod: at least one that hasn't released an album this year, but I've listened to a lot. :)



I forgot about this being out tomorrow. :)

I saw the video they did for Crawling. It was interesting slowed down. :nod: And Sharp Edges is one my favorites from this album. :love:

I'm listening to the album now. :nod:

I enjoyed it. Some of the vocals sounded a bit weird to me, but that's to be expected with a live album. :nod:

Me too :nod: and I doubt they were planning to release it when it was recorded, so that could be why.

That's true. :nod: I'm still hoping for a DVD version of the tribute concert. :D

sounds like a no-brainer :)

that's good to hear, we can't just forget and move on.
