    The evolution of Linkin Park is not for everybody but there's no denying that they know how to write a good song, whatever the genre. "One More Light" is a polished gem of a pop album - approach this album with an open mind and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

In fact, some songs are really great. For example, "One more light" is one of the strongest LP songs to me in a long time, right alongside very underrated "The messenger" and "Powerless". Most other songs are at best 5/10. "Good Goodbye" is grime and rap with Mike and is pretty decent. Enough has been said about "Heavy". The talk about genres is getting old. The album is decent at best with some standout songs for me in "One more light" and "Sharp Edges".… Expand

    One More Light is a very meaningful and emotional album, showing us that overload of drums and guitars are not necessary to create an amazing album and to convey the deep feelings within each song. (Though, the phenomenally breathtaking vocals of frontmen Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda surely help.)
    So, they have once again taken a blank canvas and have created an album from scratch, miles apart from its predecessors. It also serves as a timely reminder that these behemoths of world music are very much on top of their game.

    "One More Light" fades away from the usual heavy musical and lyrical notes for a softer, more emotional feel in what may easily be the band's best lyrical compositions yet.

    That said, if you're on the side of the fandom that feels Hybrid Theory and Meteora are what the band should have "stuck with" and not allow the band to evolve as musicians, I would recommend leaving this album on the shelf.    … Expand

    Sorry For Now, Halfway Right, One More Light, Sharp Edges, Talking to Myself are all solid songs and I understand why the band did not release these as singles. They really kept the best for the last.

I don't understand everyone's shock when they told us going in that this was what the album would be like. And to everyone saying there are no guitars on this record, do you have ears? They may not be as in your face as A Line in The Sand, but they are definitely there and definitely real. I love the subtle but strong lead guitar on OML, especially the bridge which matches Chester's tone perfectly. As LP said themselves, the music was built to "support" the vocals which is exactly what happens here. I hope that people continue to give this album a chance, because if you can manage to get past style change you will surely see the beauty in this music. Keep up the great work guys!! Those who appreciate great music know Linkin Park strive to produce it.

    It is a pop album, and it successfully delivers everything you expect from a pop album. A band should not stick to the genre they started. in the words of Mike Shinoda "You are supposed to change". This is what Linkin Park genuinely was at the time and wanted to release, and I'm here for it.

We have to remember that LP have always said since day one that they do not like staying in one genre, they are constantly changing their sound butA different sound, but it is great. Linkin Park's seventh studio album manages to be very enjoyable due to its deep and meaningful lyrics and different style. You want rock? Then you have Talking to Myself. You want pop? Then you have Heavy. We have to remember that LP have always said since day one that they do not like staying in one genre, they are constantly changing their sound but what really makes Linkin Park, Linkin Park is their lyrics because they always mean something important.

    Raga a me è piaciuto sto album, i linkin park hanno per una volta cambiato genere usando un buon pop ma nonostante a me non piaccia il pop questo mi è piaciuto. Non capisco tutto questo odio

    Me parece un muy buen disco,el efecto del disco será el mismo que el de A Thousand Suns, pero los críticos atacarán (ya atacaron) al disco por el sonido pop actual,la música de Linkin Park siempre fue una fusión de influencias, si en sus primeros discos parecían más Rage Against the Machine, ahora son más como Depeche Mode.

    Honestly I don't understand all the hate for this album. Granted, this is the first Linkin Park album I listened to so I went into it with no expectations. I've since gone back and listened to their other albums, so I can see how it's quite a shocking change for them, but hey, we had 6 albums of hard rock/nu metal/whatever, so why wouldn't they try something new?

They've always written very melodic, catchy songs, but they were always obscured by a rough exterior. With One More Light, they're letting their strong songwriting skills truly shine, and just having fun making a pop record because they can. I can see how this might not be everyone's cup of tea, but as a pop album, this is one of the stronger efforts I've heard in a while.

    I was very skeptical when this album came out, having heard the pop singles and not even liking Battle Symphony but it turns out that's the only song I don't like on the record. Pop or not, this is good music in my opinion. It offers a lot more soul and better lyrics than the stuff you might see in the top 40 (plus a few tunes are still rock at their core).

    This album isn't as bad as everyone says. Sure, it's not like Linkin Park's other records, but it doesn't need to be. It may not be the best Linkin Park album, but it is a pretty heckin' good pop album. If you aren't a fan, LP already has a huge catalog, so I hope this doesn't muddy your day.

    Linkin Park go pop and personal on 7th studio album, the second self produced. Higlight are the super emotional title track and the super fun Halfway Right, They proved again that they can do everything.

    Its sad that negative commentaries can make someone prejudice against this album. It's not bad!
    There are some interesting lyrics and melodies, but of course if you've stuck in early 2000 (im not blaming anyone but those who rate 0's) you might not like this "pop-trash".
    Personally i loved hybrid theory and meteora when i was teenager. Rebellious, high paced, aggressive, edgy. So perfect    Its sad that negative commentaries can make someone prejudice against this album. It's not bad!

    This is a pretty good album. Not as good as their old albums, but all this hate is nonsense. The album is not horrible. Linkin Park is not a genre of music. RIP Chester

    It's a good album at the end for a rock band trying the pop world. People can't expect that they stay the same after years on this industry. If they don't explore new sounds y'all are going to talk sh*t anyways.

    People treat this album like a complete trainwreck. I think that's a little unfair. It has nice production, decent vocals, and ok lyrics. The only thing I hated was the fact they got Selena Gomez copy #249 Kiiara to sing on a song!! But still, solid project. 7/10

    If you just listen to this album without comparing it to Hybrid Theory or Meteora, it's an amazing album. Not everything has to remain the same. With this album included, if you play all the Linkin Park albums in shuffle, you'll get such a wide variety of music from very soft to very loud and everything in between and each song is amazing.

    Most of the reviews bashing this album are just complaints that it's not like the earlier albums. That's good because 'One More Light' is not supposed to live up to those. It's supposed to be an emotional album and it does an amazing job at being one. I'm not going to name it but I'm just currently listening to one of the highest rated emotional albums this year as I write this and I can tell you it doesn't hold a candle to 'One More Light'.

    And for people calling them a sellout, I'd suggest watching the "Linkin Park reacts to Teens React to Linkin Park". Besides "Heavy", none of the other songs sound like any other popular songs. People just label them a sellout just because they got a female singer for one song and it just annoys me to no end that people are so quick to judge and dismiss good music just like that without thinking. "Heavy" isn't my favorite track on this album either but stop judging the entire album with such prejudice.

    Give this album a go, I guarantee you'll love it.    … Expand

    One More Light sees the band embracing its melodic core, and offering no apologies as they expound upon it.

    A muddled mess of a record from a band that completely abandoned any sense of identity.

    The issue isn't that it's a pop effort; indeed, they get points for a brave attempt so outside of their wheelhouse. The problem is that much of One More Light is devoid of that visceral charge that previously defined much of their catalog. It's a provocative challenge that ultimately fails to satisfy.
