Random Music Review: Linkin Park

Who are the once and future messiahs of rock n' roll, Linkin Park?  I think not.

What's in a name?  Is it supposed to be Linkin Park, like a cool way of saying "Linking" like, "Yo, we be linkin'"?  Or is it the Nu-Metal spelling of the name Lincoln? Like in honor of our nation's finest president?  You know, Rutherford B. Hays.

I won't get on these guys too hard, because they were the class of the Nu-Metal genre back in their heyday.  Still, being the best Nu-Metal band is kind of like being the king of the booger eaters.

They also were the epitome of what you should listen to in you basement while you drew in your sketch book while wearing JNCO jeans and drinking Mountain Dew.  Just look at this music video...

Much like Kajagoogoo, Linkin Park were kings of their day. But, also like Kajagoogoo, they're lame now.

But here today, gone tomorrow.  Tragically, nu-metal has fallen out of the mainstream and so has Linkin Park.  While I won't call them overrated as they are mostly forgotten in the sands of Billboard time, they accured far too much fame in this lifetime to ever be considered underrated.  So, Linkin Park, I guess you're Rated Right.
