They had some solid songs after this, but I kinda feel that this is where the downfall started to happen as they moved away from the angry, angry stuff and towards more of a rock sound.
I found the formula got a bit old after a while. The lyrics felt more profound in the beginning, but after a while it just felt like it was throwing synonyms for feeling bad in very similar tracks.
I listened to the first three albums (inlcuding reanimation) obsessivley when i was a kid. I think those and the live in texas album are the only cds i still own, for nostalgias sake. Ive recently been going over the albums ive missed though and though they arent start to finish bangers like the old ones, theres some really good songs still.
Meteora was also a decent album. I stopped listening after that. Hybrid Theory is something else though. Reanimation was also dope
I really liked minutes to midnight. A lot more introspective and mature.
But the fucking scream in Given Up still breaks me. Even more since his death.
Meteors was fantastic! But yes, after that, it kinda fell off.
