What do you think about their use of profanity? Do you think they're forcing cussing words in the music?
I liked linkin park before for their music, they way they sing, and that they actually don't cuss (even though i cuss). I mean there most cussing words before was "shut up" in hyrbrid theory i believe
But now apparently they cus WAY more than before, i mean in the song "Leave out all the rest" they actually said one cussing word "sh*t"
to me i think they're just kind of forcing the cussing words in there...
well i don't know...i don't really care if they cuss or not...it's just that it feels weird because im used to listening to their songs when they're not cussing but apparently they do now

i agree, and see where you're coming from. that was/is kinda a cool thing about LP...they didn't have to cuss, or put people down. i wonder too, do they feel they have to force it? will they have a bigger fan base (like it's not HUGE already) if they cuss more? this is an interesting point. thanks for bringing it up.

yay!! at least im not the only one that feels this way
because it just REALLY seems like they're forcing themselves to cuss
i understand that sometimes you juss feel like cusing, but this is...forced
i still like em though...well i used to like all their songs...now with this album...i only like...half (maybe less) of their song :(
they changed their style SOO much..

i haven't heard the new album yet. it's not released til may 15th here, and i haven't bothered to look it up online to listen to. so their style has changed some huh, you mentioned? that scares me a tad. it's like metallica, they were so cool back in the day, then started to change their sound more and more, and i couldn't handle it anymore, (in my opinion). hope LP can pull out of that, still be them ya know?

i really like linkin park, but I think the new cd has excessive cussing, which is sad because alot of young teens like them. Thank goodness walmart sells the edited version for them. I don't think it adds anything to the value of the song, and they are way too talented to stupe to using curse words for effect. I hope this isn't a trend of things to come for them. They are a really great band.

yep
if i heard right, LP had an argument (mike shinoda) with the manager, that's why if you have the album Fort Minor, i forgot which song it is, but it explained the argument basically
so im assuming the manager was fired, and now they changed their style of music (bcuz the manager that was there for hybrid theory and meteora isn't there anymore)

I am a great LP fan, I always believe that they have the most tamed lyrics compared to others (eminem, etc..)which are far more awkward.Yes I agree with you, they cuss ppl mainly in tours and live shows, bu as far as their songs are concerned it is very clean.
