From Zero

Long time fan. They were my go to band when I was in high school. ( 21 years ago) and I’ve followed them throughout everything. No one can be Chester. But Emily is an amazing vocalist, and this album reminds me so much of some of the first albums they did. Don’t listen to the tolls. It’s worth a listen.

I love how the album integrates what Chester recorded w Emily’s addition along w Mikes voice… nice work. Chester would love it. U guys/gal should love it too. Glad to see u back. I know the road… very painful.

I love this album too. I'm glad Linkin Park is back aka new Linkin Park, after everything they all had to deal with. All the haters need to back off.

But a horrible linkin park album. They should have let chesters legacy rest in peace with him.

Not the best. Linkin Park fell off after 2017 aka the year Chester died rip

New Era? Bull!!!!! Just a recycle of older LP music! Trying to sound the same when Chester was with the band Should be ashamed and these idiots buying into this! It’s not the same

Wasn’t sure what to expect from this record. The singles were good but my fear was the rest was going to be the pop garbage they’d done over the past few records. Regardless of your feelings of the new singer, this is 100% a Linkin Park record more in the vein of their earlier works that got most of us into the band. Emily delivers a very strong performance. Mike and the boys put together a very good collection of songs that are aggressive, catchy, and memorable. Two Faced and IGYEIH could’ve been on Hybrid Theory or Meteora. The Emptiness Machine, Stained, and Over Each Other brings me back to Minutes to Midnight. Didn’t expect it, but this is the most I’ve enjoyed an LP record since Minutes to Midnight. If this is the start of the new era of Linkin Park I’m definitely along for the ride.

I’m more of a casual passerby when it comes to Linkin Park; I never mind it when they come on but I don’t really get into their music either. But there is no denying that Chester Bennington was a phenomenal frontman and a great vocalist, with his scratchy yet empathetic voice. Seven years after he offed himself, Mike Shinoda decided to bring the band back. Which now I will elaborate on each facet of how wrong this is: Bennington’s Replacement - hiring a controversial Scientologist person who not only defended convicted assaulter Danny Masterson but harassed the victim and their family is either obliviously idiotic or a deliberate attempt to gain more notice than if it were a less problematic person. Plus despite halfassed attempts to assure they weren’t out to overwrite Bennington’s legacy, she copies his style in a less refined manner and doesn’t carve an identity of her own, making for a mediocre karaoke experience. The Motivation - seven years gone, and Shinoda picked 2024 to reemerge Linkin Park. In a year where nu metal had a revival? Business savvy, but also exposes his blatant greed as why, if he truly cared about the band and the fans, he not bring it back two years ago or three? He’s capitalizing on the revival to get that extra dough, which shows on the album. The Material - after the soft pop of One More Light, LP reverts to their old nu metal style. But this time it sounds forced, hollow and superficial compared to such mighty hits like “Numb” and “Faint”. Signaling that it isn’t a desire to play together again or favor the faithful, but a cash-in, that this was made, and it’s frankly insulting to the band and its history. Ultimately, this album is a disgrace to LP and the impact they had years ago, and Shinoda shows how disrespectful he is to his late friend’s legacy and how greedy he truly is. For those saying that Bennington wasn’t an original member, that’s true, but you cannot undermine how he really symbolized the band and made it what it is. The fact his family is crying foul should signal that this is not a good revival, and that Shinoda is not a good person. On top of all of these moral issues, the album itself is flimsy fluff with no substance or muscle. From Zero is shameless in its digging up a dead horse to beat it, and is a great example of why some things should not last forever.

Linkin Park's legacy is being tarnished by this garbage. Scientologist woman lead singer who doesn't hold a torch to Chester. I have no problem with Linkin Park trying to make new music, but I do not understand the direction. They could have picked anyone else, but they picked one of the most controversial singers possible, and she isn't even that talented. Most of the songs are just Emily screaching. There is no passion, there is no emotion. Do better Mike.

From Zero is a biggest come back ever to have been created, this has not only help heal but helped me understand more in life, biggest props to E.A. she had stood in front of all of us and showed what she is capable of. I am looking forward more project to come from Da band and for there love of music. Your Fan - DaLycanKiin Aka Jeebuss
