[...] initial shitty song which made you famous. This isn’t my opinion. This is a fact. People have scientifically proven that all that your songs are the same. One dude even made a video about it. [...]

OH! and i just listened to the sound clip.. One song is slowed down massive amounts to make it fit. Good freakin job on failing. Musically illiterate people slay me i swear.

This is retarded. so the sound clips look the same, whoopdie freakin do. You can take sound clips of most bands and put them into an image and the sound files will LOOK the same. ZOMG they’re songs have the same set up! Well do they sound exactly the same? Well, no BUT LOOK! Okay… aaaand you’re stupid.

You are focusing on what the songs look like.Do you realise how stupid that statement is ? Im’a D.J.,I use 2 Pioneer Pro c.d. players and my lap tpo with a program called Virtual DJ.Part of the display on the lap top is a wave form just like the one in your illustration.The music I play in any set ranges from Hip-Hop,Rock,Alternative,Old School Rap,and some top 40 songs.Pretty much all songs look like the wave form in your illustration.All songs have basically the same structure of intro.,Kicker,chorus,Hook,Chorus,Hook,Break,Chorus,Hook,Outro.And I see it every song I play,because it is displayed for each song on the display.So what is your point ? A lot of songs that aren’t even the same genre of music,different BPM’s,instrumental or vocal have basically the same wave form.So as someone that sees the way songs look every day,I don’t see your point.By the way,if Linkin Park ’s music Sucks so much.Why would Jay-Z,one of the top Hip-Hop artists of all time do a collaboration album with them? I’m quite sure he wouldn’t risk putting out an album unless the other group was in his opinion good too,and playing on his level.

Say what you want,if it’s the same song damned if a lot of people didn’t buy it reeatedly.Cos Lp sold a hell-of-a-lotta albums.Including me.
Maybe it was their “Hybrid Theory”album,coming out at the same time I went through a divorce.But it seemed like I could relate to most of the songs on the album.Like,With you,One Step Closer,Crawling,By Myself,In The End,Pushing Me Away,Runaway,Paper Cut,Points of Authority.I was like these boys feel my pain,I like them.Then came “Meteora”,and I was feeling everything on that album too .Especially,Numb,Easier To Run,Lying From You,Figure .o9,Breaking The Habit.Faint,and Don’t Stay,Then “Reanimation”came out.It was cool,I used to be a DJ. Some songs remix really well.Then they got with Jay-Z,that was cool too “J” is one of my favorite Rap Artists.I bought a couple of their live albums,I knew the songs still cool.When “The next joint came out I was like,WTF ?
I wasn’t feeling anything on “Minutes To Midnight”.They totally changed up their style of music.Igave them the benifit of a doubt when”Fort Minor”came out and bought it too.Same bulls#it,WTF were they thinking ?
I wasn’t feeling anything on that album either.Linkin Park had a sound,nobody else sounded like them.People liked them,bought their albums they should have left well enough alone.I still listwn to their old joints,but I won’t buy any more of their new stuff.If it ain’t broke,don’t try to fix it.An Ex Lp fan.

Surely it’s not surprising that all Linkin Park songs look the same, since they all sound the same. Just like most so-called ‘music’ (and ‘artists’) these days, it’s totally interchangeable. But you’ll never sway their fans, especially with such an obtuse method of comparison, so what’s the point? They’ll figure it out by themselves (eventually) or they won’t.

also, anyone who thinks this “formula” has anything to do with the sucess of the songs should probably stop doing music. You just don’t get it. Give up now. This is the equivalent to ripping apart shakespear and saying I’VE GOT IT!!! the key to great writing is this: have three words in a row with two letters, then follow that with a word with three letters, and end with two more words with two letters “to be or not to be” The formula for great writing!!!!!. It seems ludicrous ( and it is) but its the same thing people do with music. It just so happens that ignorance in music is accepted ( even encouraged) more so than the other arts.

k, understanding this formula will not make you a better producer, it will make you a generic copy cat producer. This is why there is so much crap in music. Everyone is looking for the easy answer and magic formula to making songs. And if your going to copy someone, why not choose beethoven, or mozart. I mean christ, Linkin park? are you kidding me.
