In this review I will be reviewing an album which was released this year in May it is the new album from Linkin park it is also their seventh studio album which is called "One More Light".
Linkin Park are an American rock band with a bit of hip hop. They are famously known for songs such as "In The End", "Numb" "Crawling", "Breaking The Habit" and many more. I have never really been a fan of them but I do like a couple of their songs. When I found out that Linkin Park were releasing a new album I wasent that excited but I was interested finding out what it had to offer to see if it is better than their last album which I personally think it is. When this album was released on the day most of the Linkin Park fans did not like this album as the band was going for a new sound. There were a lot of criticism towards this album. Most critics gave this album a negative score which I simply do not understand why though. I did not think this album was bad I liked a couple of tracks. But I can understand why most fans were disappointed. Some of the fans really wanted another rock album but I guess this is a Pop/EDM album. When I heard this album I just felt that some EDM tracks did not go well on this album with the production that should have been better. Linkin Park wanted to make an album in which young listeners listen to which is EDM music. They wanted more young listeners to listen to the album as it was a way to do well in the charts. I still cannot believe Chester passed away this year it was one of most shocking news to hear. Despite I was not a big fan of him and the band he was an inspirational to many other artists.
Moving on to my favourite tracks on this album which were "Good Goodbye", "Heavy", "Halfway Right", "One More Light", and "Sharp Edges". Starting off with "Good Goodbye" this track is featured with "Stormzy" and "Pusha T". This track is one of the tracks which is featured with collaboration. This is such a hard track I didn't expect manlike Stormzy to feature a track with Linkin Park manlike. "Heavy" was the first track to be released before the album was released. At first I didn't really like the track but then once hearing it more than once I started to like it the production is just spot on great collaboration with the female singer "Kiiara". "Halfway Right" was a track that was quite emotional it is such an upsetting track when Chester says "I Scream at myself when there's nobody else to fight". It is such an upsetting song, "One More Light" which is another emotional track and the strongest track on the album. The video to this track is really upsetting to watch which was with him and the fans during the tour. "Sharp Edges" this is a track where I often go back and listen to. I love this track it is my favourite out of all of them I love the production and the lyrics. I love how the guitar starts off this track. It is also the ending track of the album. My least favourite track was a track which I did not really like "Sorry For Now" the production on this track is so annoying it has bit of squeaky EDM.
Overall this was an okay album definitely better than the last one I would definitely listen to it again it is a 6/10
