Definitely not nu metal

Mood: excited
Listening: Linkin Park - What I've Done
Reading: Hey Arnold Fan Fiction (wanna read it, too?)

Ugh... this place could definitely use some "pimping up"... It looks so boring... I hate that I haven't had any time to make something cool for my blog *sigh*.

Anyway, on-topic: I spent yesterday's afternoon listening to Linkin Park's What I've Done over and over and over again... So yeah, it isn't nu metal anymore... but it still rocks!

Pig-gir (my sister) is probably going to kill me for saying this, but the truth is that if I had to choose between Evanescence's The Open Door and Linkin Park's Minutes to Midnight, I'd go for LP's new album, no doubt.

It might be somewhat of an unfair "competition", though. I've listened to all of the tracks from TOD at least a thousand times (lol, maybe a little less), I even own the CD and I've seen 2 videos so far, whereas LP's MTM is still relatively unknown to me, but just by listening to their first single What I've Done, I can tell they did some growing up, not unlike Evanescence, but the thing with LP's music is that (IMHO) they grew without becoming a comercial band. I find their renewed style more mature; in their music and their lyrics. They found a more artistic style.

All I can say is that this might be a turn down for some LP followers, but, for me, it's the start of a whole new era for them and I personally love the first single— by the way, did I mention you can listen to it through this blog of mine? *grins* Yup, just scroll down until you see my RadioSnippets and click on the desired track. I also have some songs by Evanescence (the first two singles from TOD —Call Me When You're Sober & Lithium— and the one to be released next Thursday —Sweet Sacrifice), Incubus (first two singles of my favourite album —Light Grenades— Dig and Ana Molly), Crossfade, Panic! At the Disco, +44, 30 Seconds to Mars and I can't remember what else did I upload... lol! Oh, well... just listen and enjoy!

I'd love it if you could make a comment to tell me what you think of LP's new single... or anything else you want to tell me =)

I'm off...
