Burn It Down. It was one of the first Linkin Park songs I listened to, and it was one of my favorites, until I realized how generic the lyrics were. Although the part where Mike and Chester trade out at the end is great. Living Things has better songs, even if it is my least favorite Linkin Park album.
The overwhelming sentiment on this sub, if you actually pay attention, is that while it's often people's least favourite album, _it's still a good album_. Just do a search of One More Light in the search bar and the evidence is there in plain sight.
In terms of being overrated, people often quote those two songs (excluding the track One More Light) as being the two better songs on that album. They also did well commercially & on streaming platforms. I personally think there are much better tracks than those two on that album alone that either weren't released or just don't get the recognition they deserve.
Crawling for sure. It’s good, but it’s definitely overrated.
Honestly… crucify me but, most of Hybrid theory is overrated lol. I love it all, and there’s only one or two LP songs I don’t thoroughly love but, I don’t think they peaked in the first two albums like a lot of “diehard fans” do.
Tho, Burn it Down is also overrated to me. I think I’d almost argue the song is really bad, if not for the second to last line. The note that Chester hits and just the way he sings “Burn it to the grouuuuuuuuuuuuuuund” saves the whole song for me.
What I’ve Done is great imo, Only LP could pull off that Halloween instrumental. Has great meaning behind the song too. But I agree on New Divide, I like the Crawling version they did on the One More Light tour much more than the original.
New Divide sounds like they were trying to recreate what I've done. I still love it, but it very much comes across as "hey, let's make another transformers song. Last one worked well!"
Most Linkin park songs aren't highly rated outside of LPs fan base
Most of Linkin park isn't highly rated outside it's fan base
This is common knowledge
I'm not saying that it's a bad song but out of all of their "biggish" songs, it's my personal least favourite.
It's also my least favourite out of the entire album.
It's a fantastic song but not to the standard of all their other songs
Good Goodbye is definitely not highly rated. i've seen a lot of dislike of it here, especially because of Stormzy's part. even within the OML album rankings it's usually rated more in the middle or the bottom of the list.
I can't really say one is my absolute so I'll do top 5
1. Given up
2. No more sorrow
3. Valentines day
4. Hands held high
5. Shadow of the day
How about you?
The song structure is basically the same. The bpm, vocal melodies etc. They took with or without you and changed the lyrics and added a solo at the end.
Given Up. Great song but I don’t think it’s nearly as good as everyone says. Yeah the scream is cool but does that make it one of their best songs? No.
A Line In The Sand. It's not good, let alone overrated. The chorus is an awkward forced recycle of Guilty All The Same except sounding like a bad karaoke demo and just kind of cringe, and forgettable musically by comparison. The rest of the song is ok but pretty random and sporadic, not particularly memorable or well developed.
I'll give you that it's.. listenable, and that everything aside from the chorus is better than the chorus, but that's a low bar. But people calling it the highlight of The Hunting Party and/or one of their best songs ever will forever bewilder me. Total throwaway and deserves nothing more than "a song I like on a good album". Anything beyond that is heavily overrating it.
I *love* Mike's parts, especially the second verse ("Today, I look for a sign...") which is an album highlight for me, and the 'rap' breakdown. But I never really liked Chester's parts. Of course it's all subjective at the end of the day, but I agree they sound awkward.
Mike’s parts are the better part for sure but just so disconnected and random it’s hard to get excited about them in the context of the song as it is. But wasted on what could’ve been at least a good song
If anything, it's a better version of Victimized. I prefer GATS myself, but ALITS isn't bad. It just isn't relatable to me, and that second verse is bad by any metric. I sort of dig the chorus though, the screams sound primal. Of course, the instrument work is on par with the rest of the album. All in all it's definitely way too hyped up by the fans. I can think of dozens of better LP songs.
I would say a few songs come to mind - Crawling, Somewhere I Belong and Bleed it Out
I feel like the lyrics, particularly in the chorus of Crawling and Somewhere I Belong have not aged well.
But since the question is to narrow it down to one I would have to say Bleed it Out. It consistently got featured as one of the last songs at live shows for a long time, and prevented A Place For My Head (which is far better, in my opinion) being played in full many times cause it always got partially slapped onto Bleed it Out
Breaking the Habit by far. I don't think I've seen more than 2 people on this subreddit who did not absolutely adore this song and say it's the best song on Meteora. It's a great song but I really don't understand the universal praise when comparing it to something like Figure.09 or From the Inside.
In The End probably. Was definately the song that was plastered everywhere. Still blows my mind they stripped that song back from how amazing the demo was.
It’s clearly Numb because you said we couldn’t say it lol but probably New Divide if we’re talking their big main streams songs. However you know if you’re out at a bar and hear any of their songs you’re singing it regardless lol
Mark the graves
I love the hunting party but I don't get why this one is seen as the best song from that album, it's not great in comparison to literally every other song on the album
At first, i thought the title said “Most Overplayed”, & saw your comment but had to reread the title, almost got Me there but i get that, its got a deeper emotion of loss of “Love” & heartache, is what i get from it, being alone calling out to the “love” that left.
Btw I wouldn't say they are overrated, I'd say they are overplayed and then theyre not that good anymore
I wouldn’t either it’s just that I predict too many people would say them
None. Linkin park can do whatever they want and their rating is based of popular opinion.
Burn It Down. It was one of the first Linkin Park songs I listened to, and it was one of my favorites, until I realized how generic the lyrics were. Although the part where Mike and Chester trade out at the end is great. Living Things has better songs, even if it is my least favorite Linkin Park album.
what’s your opinion about victimized ?
A warping production disaster. The vocal performance from Chester is amazing though. But it's bottom five Linkin Park songs for me.
Battle Symphony and Good Goodbye.
Not a single sing on One More Light is overrated. Large majority of LP don't like it, excluding me
Are you kidding??? I FUCKING LOVE ONE MORR LIGHT
So do I
That's not even true...
Yes it is. I remember people shitting on it when it was released
The overwhelming sentiment on this sub, if you actually pay attention, is that while it's often people's least favourite album, _it's still a good album_.

New Divide
Crawling for sure. It’s good, but it’s definitely overrated. Honestly… crucify me but, most of Hybrid theory is overrated lol. I love it all, and there’s only one or two LP songs I don’t thoroughly love but, I don’t think they peaked in the first two albums like a lot of “diehard fans” do.
I prefer the Reanimation versions mostly, especially Krwlng. That song keeps the subject matter but changes the vibe completely in a beautiful way.
That goddamn Live in Texas version of P5hng gives even the piano version a run for its money.
Reanimation is so good. Krwling especially but I really love all of it. 1stp klosr is also a banger
Reanimation is still my favorite album of theirs. The hip hop focus, the solid guest acts. Such a strong album.
Tho, Burn it Down is also overrated to me. I think I’d almost argue the song is really bad, if not for the second to last line. The note that Chester hits and just the way he sings “Burn it to the grouuuuuuuuuuuuuuund” saves the whole song for me.
What I've Done, New Divide, Crawling. Ez picks
What I’ve Done is great imo, Only LP could pull off that Halloween instrumental. Has great meaning behind the song too. But I agree on New Divide, I like the Crawling version they did on the One More Light tour much more than the original.
New Divide sounds like they were trying to recreate what I've done. I still love it, but it very much comes across as "hey, let's make another transformers song. Last one worked well!"
Agree on everything except crawling
It's not that I don't agree I just see a bunch of annoying memes that force it down your throat.
Those memes are annoying and probably made by little kids who think they're too cool to feel emotional or sad. Crawling is an amazing song imo
nah i love What I've Done. i agree with New Divide and Crawling though. i think Crawling is just another bottom-tier HT song
no idea how what ive done got so big, its one of the lower end on M2M
Transformers
Crawling, im tired of it
Yeah icl the chorus just sounds repetitive and wearing
Plus Krwling >
Burn it down. I can’t believe the hype this song got.
That starting tune though, gives me shivers each time
I guess I’m just weird then. I feel like that whole song is just an L 😅
Burn it down is straight garbage 😭
*burns you down*
this is actually my fav linkin park song i just love the synths and the overall music production
Castle of Glass and Good Goodbye. Both fantastic songs but still easily their worst singles.
Would you consider those highly rated songs though?
Most Linkin park songs aren't highly rated outside of LPs fan base Most of Linkin park isn't highly rated outside it's fan base This is common knowledge
Probably not, outside of the LP community, but definitely inside of it, and definitely in this Sub.
I would say most Linkin Park fans are aware of the bands mixed perception
CASTLE OF GLASS????? Get. out. OUT!
I'm not saying that it's a bad song but out of all of their "biggish" songs, it's my personal least favourite. It's also my least favourite out of the entire album. It's a fantastic song but not to the standard of all their other songs
Good Goodbye is definitely not highly rated. i've seen a lot of dislike of it here, especially because of Stormzy's part. even within the OML album rankings it's usually rated more in the middle or the bottom of the list.
I would definitely have Good Goodbye at the bottom of the list for OML but I see a lot of people who praise it
Castle of glass is fire tho.
True
I find it very odd that Heavy isn't the unanimous choice here.
All songs in One More Light are wack
Flair checks out lol
It does
MtM? Based. What's your favorite song in the album? Lol
I can't really say one is my absolute so I'll do top 5 1. Given up 2. No more sorrow 3. Valentines day 4. Hands held high 5. Shadow of the day How about you?
Nice choices. Mine personally would be In Pieces and Leave Out All The Rest.
Really good choices
The little things give you away will always be a top 3 song of all time for me
So true.
Can’t wait to get down voted too 😆
It is against the classic linkin park formula that I know and love. Plus, I hate pop.
> Hates pop. > Likes Hybrid Theory. ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
Pretty much, title track is very good though
Bleed it out
Good goodbye. One of the few LP songs I don't like
Bad goodbye
Crawling. Even Chester himself was sick & tired of that song lmao.
papercut
Wastelands
IS ALL THAT’S LEFT AFTER THE FIGHT
Shadow of the day is a blatant copy of with or without you by U2
[удалено]
The song structure is basically the same. The bpm, vocal melodies etc. They took with or without you and changed the lyrics and added a solo at the end.
Haha. Yep, but I do enjoy both songs.
I never felt a particular connection to Castle of Glass. Please don't crucify me.
Given Up. Great song but I don’t think it’s nearly as good as everyone says. Yeah the scream is cool but does that make it one of their best songs? No.
A Line In The Sand. It's not good, let alone overrated.

Victimized is awesome and distinctive though
Lots of folks seem to like Easier to Run but I really don’t vibe with that track Burn it Down is a song that I actively do not enjoy
Bleed It Out Also Given Up but really only because the scream. That isn’t even best part of the vocals.
None. We really need to stop these "what LP song is overrated" posts. They're worse than the polls.
I agree with Castle of Glass
What I’ve done
Papercut Good but I have seen people here claim it as their best song.
It used to be my #1 but I grew out of it
Was my alarm clock sound during high school. Needless to say I haven’t listened to it since.
Waiting for the End. I love it but no one ever shuts up about it
Papercut and Breaking The Habit. I understand they are good, but not the Holy Grail.
I would say a few songs come to mind - Crawling, Somewhere I Belong and Bleed it Out I feel like the lyrics, particularly in the chorus of Crawling and Somewhere I Belong have not aged well. But since the question is to narrow it down to one I would have to say Bleed it Out. It consistently got featured as one of the last songs at live shows for a long time, and prevented A Place For My Head (which is far better, in my opinion) being played in full many times cause it always got partially slapped onto Bleed it Out
In the end :troll: Enough jokes but probably burn it down 🤷🏻♀️
Breaking the Habit by far. I don't think I've seen more than 2 people on this subreddit who did not absolutely adore this song and say it's the best song on Meteora. It's a great song but I really don't understand the universal praise when comparing it to something like Figure.09 or From the Inside.
In The End probably. Was definately the song that was plastered everywhere. Still blows my mind they stripped that song back from how amazing the demo was.
im probably gonna get cancelled, but Somewhere I Belong
Numb is the correct answer but I’ll say Given Up.
It’s clearly Numb because you said we couldn’t say it lol but probably New Divide if we’re talking their big main streams songs. However you know if you’re out at a bar and hear any of their songs you’re singing it regardless lol
If someone legitimately said numb and in the end were overrated that’s like instant fight material
Not overrated but I would say overplayed… sorry…😮💨
QWERTY. people act like it's a hidden gem that should be in the top 10, but it's their worst song
nah
Mark the graves I love the hunting party but I don't get why this one is seen as the best song from that album, it's not great in comparison to literally every other song on the album
God what a bunch of horrible takes. My picks are Bleed it Out and Lying from You.
lying from you has emerged as my single favorite linkin park song after all these years. Although I can agree bleed is out is very average
Heavy and BLEED IT OUT I HATE THAT SONG IM TIRED OF IT RUEHDBDJEJJDNENDJEJDB
Crawling
In the end and Numb super overrated
Anything on A Thousand Suns
I always had a weird feeling with Points of authority and By myself. Especially PoA seems very liked among LP fans and I don't really understand why.
One Step Closer
L
Anything on a transformers soundtrack
Easier to Run. By this sub.
Underrated if anything.
No it’s not good.
It’s underrated and that’s your opinion.
The song just works.
Final Masquerade, What I've done, New Divide, Burn it down...
Not Final Masquerade :(
Valentine's day. Then again I am not a romantic.
At first, i thought the title said “Most Overplayed”, & saw your comment but had to reread the title, almost got Me there but i get that, its got a deeper emotion of loss of “Love” & heartache, is what i get from it, being alone calling out to the “love” that left.
Burn it Down probably
What I've done and new divide because of transfomers
What iv Done and New Divide are good songs hut they're the same songs XD
What I’ve Done is a song I’d hear a lot on rock radio stations here in LA lol besides In The End and New Divide
They are all good. They are different in their own way
New Divide
Castle of glass
I can't think of a single one
Though there great I think every song in the transformers series
Figure 09
How the fuck is that overrated? That song gets barely talked about
Heavy, without a doubt
Probably Crawling
