pop-rap

I will admit to never really liking Linkin Park’s homogenous and hermaphrodite style caught between pop, rap, rock and a hard place… the band really losing all traction since 2010, with their popularity on the decrease and sales slumping, tries to go full on pop, with a bit of rap, further trimming down on rock elements and tuning everything up… the result is LP’s most plastic and pop album.
 
“Nobody Can Save Me” is a very safe and subdued opener, something you could hear in a teen movie, during the sappier moments. Teen angst by 40 year old men? Nah, won’t buy into that.
