Ah, who does not remember Linkin Park? Yes, it's a band that reminds us of elementary school where we are always waiting for the video to be aired on MTV, willing to save for the tape "Meteora", and in the class we try to sing their songs like "Aimbikamsonaaaaaaaammmm, Ikanfilyuthere "and" indienitdasneivenmeter "while trying to sing scream like them. Linkin Park, my favorite song, when you are in school, I love nu-metal music looks cool and everyone starts from your friends until the cyber warriors listen to songs from Linkin Park. Ah, a beautiful childhood.
It does not feel time passed, you are someone who has graduated from college and is ready to jump in the community. Your music tastes evolved from time to time, you started listening to the Beatles during middle school, Arcade Fire in high school, and various kinds of indie music ranging from local to international through Spotify during college. But the band you worshiped during elementary school named Linkin Park is still growing with its nu-metal blend even though occasionally they become industrial ("A Thousand Suns", "Living Things") and hard rock ("The Hunting Party").
You suddenly hear the news that Linkin Park will be releasing a seventh album titled "One More Light" which sounds so soothing because of the title they will return to their light of loud music with a blind scream. As soon as you hear the first single from the album "Heavy", you immediately ask "This is the title, the one with the heavy song, how come it gets rich, hmm?" But you let that happen because the song was really good and still listened to their full album when released. After the album was Linkin Park? If the songs on this album are delivered live, what? The time of the guitarist has to have a cup of coffee.
"Nobody Can Save Me" opens this album and you start asking why there is a dubstep music insert in the middle, the problem is music like this is outdated and last relevant in 2013 - 2014. Even the greatness of two rapper named Pusha T and Stormzy did not make "Good Goodbye" is getting better. This track is very very very flat and has no soul (and is equipped with chipmunk sound). "Talking to Myself" is a pop rock number from a mediocre 90's band whose name may not be heard (and they are trying to be Imagine Dragons here).
"Battle Symphony" and "Halfway Right" are EDM tracks that make you fall asleep because of the empty beats offered and traps that are very insignificant. "Invisible" at least still sounds Mike Shinoda's little good but unfortunately it's vocals are not right for this song. "Sorry For Now" is a song that should be performed by Owl City (yes, that's the musician who brought "Fireflies") and OH LISTEN TO THE REFF ON THIS SONG, THEY WANT TO BE THE COMPLETE CHAINSMOKERS WITH HIS BEAT EDM TEMPLATE. ASTAGA.
"One More Light" was able to save this album with its mellow and ambient tone but Sharp Edges "that ASTAGANAGA THEY PLAYED LIKE AVICII FOLK-EDM IN" WAKE ME UP ". It would be very epic if this song was released in 2014 (but if the song was released in 2014 it would not necessarily sell).
Listening to "One More Light" feels like listening to parents who are trying to become contemporary by playing Top 40 pop music that is often played in thousands of times until you are annoyed but the results fail miserably. Honestly, even though it has been played 4 times in a row you will not find any catchy points from the songs on this album, this is certainly a failure to make pop music. Okay if for example this album is the most personal album Chester and personnel Linkin Park
