    This album got too much hate, why? Because while it might have been weak compared to past Linkin Park albums, we can agree that the music on this album meant a lot to the band.

I respect how much this album meant to the band, & that they did something that was right to them, but to me, it's a pretty solid pop album, I've have that opinion since the album came out, there were songs that stand out on this album, and others that were decent, but the music wasn't anything awful or bad.… Expand

    Well... the first 5 songs are actually very good. I'm glad that they decided to take a new direction and make something different.

    But the last 5 are terrible.

This record on the other hand, feels like a half baked attempt to try something out of their comfort zone. There are 2, maybe 3 really good songs on this thing. One More Light and Sharp Edges are some of the best songs I've heard from the band. The rest feel like they really didn't care and just mixed and mashed a bunch of synth beats together to create some generic paint-by-numbers EDM anthems. It's not the complete disaster I was expecting it to be, but it still ranks as one of the worst albums that Linkin Park has made in their career. 4/10.… Expand

This album sounds like a different band to me, I hear mostly Chester Bennington singing, and almost no Mike Shinoda. They have lost their own original sound, and now sound like many other pop groups. When the single Heavy came out I was already a bit worried for the direction they are going, and this cements my fears. The conclusion, a subpar outdated pop album.… Expand

The actual song writing is average and unimaginative, however they've consistently made good sometimes great albums because they are artists, they're unique, and they pioneer new blends of genres. That's why this album fails. Instead of leading the pack, they're just following current trends. If someone said the Chainsmokers or Coldplay produced the album, I'd believe them.    … Expand

    Back in 2003, after just having heard the then fresh Meteora my thoughts were "This is a great album, but one more record like this and HT will be wrong". And ti appears, the band had a similar understanding. Ever since then they have been "evolving". They kept on mixing different genres, whether pop/rock on MTM or indie/rock on ATS. And it did work for them more often than not.

    This album needs to be taken for what it is: a mediocre pop album.
    The first point: it is a pure pop album. In no way it is an experiment or an "evolving". No mix of genres here either. If you don't call it using the most tiresome pop music elements.
    The second point: it is hard to review a pop album without being deep into the genre. However, this is at no point in its short 35 minutes close to Madonna, Sting, George Michael or whatever decent pop artist comes to mind. Just a pack of summer relaxing songs that are sure to be forgotten sooner than later.    … Expand

    Chester's death is tragic and heartbreaking. I feel it does add some context to some moments on this album, but growing up with linkin park and being so used to their style, this album does fall flat on it's face a lot. For me, it doesn't compare to meteora, hybrid theory or even half of what minutes to midnight had. It's a disappointing yet tragic finale to this band.

    I've been a fan of Linkin Park because they saved my life back in the year 2000 with Hybrid Theory. I would listen to the album for hours and hours on repeat, especially at times when I felt depressed and even suicidal. The energy from the music help me to overcome my severe depression. I felt like it was made for me at that point in my life. I would brag about LP to ALL my friends, andI've been a fan of Linkin Park because they saved my life back in the year 2000 with Hybrid Theory.

I felt like it was made for me at that point in my life. I would brag about LP to ALL my friends, and blast their music in my car because I wanted them to be financially rewarded for how AWESOME their music was and wanted to get the word our about them.
    With every LP album, I listen it from start to finish at least 10 times to really get a good feel of what I think of the album. One More Light has beautiful songs and meaningful lyrics, but it is MISSING THE PASSION & FIRE that makes LP different than other bands. The passion in Chester's voice was so powerful that it would give me chills from every song when I would listen to his lyrics and his passionate voice. In OML, where's the passion?
    The reason HT and Meteora worked so well was because they brought the NEGATIVE lyrics with the POSITIVE UPBEAT INSTRUMENTALS. That may have been totally unintentional, but it worked and made you different than any other band out there. It was beautiful how Chester would hold his chord, and Mike would rap behind his voice.
    I know we are past those days, but come on guys, do what you're good at.
    1. Chester, you have an Incredible voice filled with passion and power that gives people strength when listening to it - so use it. You have I'm incredible ability to scream for long periods of time that gives people chills!
    2. Mike, you are an extremely talented rapper who has an incredible ability to flow and make the music rhythmic so that we can bob our heads to it and smile. Also, I love the piano playing.
    3. Mr. Hahn - you are super talented at the turntables, that makes me want to freestyle - so use your skills bro.
    4. Rob you're talented at the drums and bringing in the solid beat.
    5. Dave, slap the bass bro - we need to hear you. Brad, keep bringing in the sound and energy - I know it's there - you're very talented on the guitar - so let's hear it!

    Lastly, I just want to say that WE ARE DYING for you guys to create an album using your natural talents (that I listed above). Make an album FOR US (YOUR DIE-HARD FANS) who LOVE your music and sound that we grew to love. I've been anticipating this album for years but it didn't meet my expectation because of the lack of POWER and BURNING PASSION! I like when you introduce new instruments to each album, but PLEASE BRING BACK the sound that we've grown to love and appreciate. I'm not talking about nu-metal - I'm just talking about having PASSION in your songs, and beats that we can bob our heads to (so that we can play the album anywhere from the gym to our car to sitting alone in our room.

    OML has good beats, cool instruments, but mostly it is TOTALLY LACKING Chester's passion, and Mike's incredible RAPPING SKILLS - PLEASE bring that for the next album - do it for your DIE-HARD FANS, like myself.    … Expand

Nobody Can Save Me is the worst song Linkin Park has ever made in his entire career. The 4 songs they showed before the release of the album are saved a little(except Invisible) but they arrive a moment to which they are bored. The best song is definitely Talking to Myself. It is of all the more rock has, good drum and good rhythm. By the way let's talk about something important: the drum. In this album, Rob, the drummer of the band, work as little as possible and I think now I miss him. Something that I also miss are Mike's f....ng raps. A single rap in the whole album and only lasts 30 seconds. The previous record that less rap had was Minutes to Midnight that had 2 songs with rap but those 2 songs were complete rapped by Mike. But LP forget that they have one of the best djs in the world and use him to be electronic pop junk. In a world where Mike and Mr. Han were doing songs like Lost in the Echo, With You or Waiting for the End are some of my favorites, the they arrive and they make me feel disappointed with them. Sorry for Now Mike sings it and does it very well as in songs like Roads Untraveled, A line in the Sand or Castle of Glass but completely destroys the song with stupid electronic pop music mix and a Chester rap, resembling the second part rap of Waiting for the End, that does not do it badly but we didn't need it, not even when they have one of the best rappers of the world. Halfway Right and Sharp Edges look like a Disney Channel and Nickelodeon songs. One More Light ends up liking me because its lyrics but I would have liked more that they would have tried harder to make a rock ballad or something like that and not what looks like an acoustic version of Iridescent . I never though I would criticize my idols so hard but if I do it is to realize that this album isn't good for them or for their greatest fans. I admit it, I like it, but I didn't like the things have turn. I like it, but prefer A Thousands Suns, Living Things or even Recharged that One More Light. I appreciate the effort they did but I would appreciate them to go back to rock and forget the pop or whatever that be that no ones likes. LARGA VIDA A LINKIN PARK… Expand

    While this album isn't outright bad, a big reoccurring issue is the lyrical content of the songs not matching the generally upbeat instrumentals, and Chester's voice often being too soft to convey them properly. The title track however, One More Light, is an exception.

The production was a bit hit and miss, but the lyrical content was good mostly, and I actually quite liked the majority of the instrumentals, which I wasn't expecting at all. The highlights were Heavy, Good Goodbye, Battle Symphony and Sharp Edges, the latter being the best on the album for me. Chester Bennington's vocals are as good as they've ever been, and this is very much demonstrated by his versatility on different tempo tracks. Overall, I'm pleasantly surprised by One More Light. It's definitely not a perfect album - especially not when compared to some of their best work - but it's not a bad effort either.

    Tilly - I'll be the first to admit that I know very few songs by Linkin Park. Of course, I have the obvious ones all on my rock playlist, but aside from those, I know next to nothing about them. One More Light was probably an odd place for me to start delving into their extensive discography but it surprisingly wasn't a bad place. Sure, it's certainly more poppy than what I know of their music, but the decent lyrics and catchy chorus' are still very much a part of their new sound. Heavy and Good Goodbye were the highlights and obvious single choices, whereas songs like Sharp Edges and One More Light felt like potential gems dragged down by a multitude of unfortunate lyrics. It was still a really cohesive and enjoyable listen, and I wouldn't be opposed to adding all of the songs to one of my playlists - bar Sorry For Now - to see if I end up liking it more than I feel like I do right now.    … Expand

    Linkin Park has undeniably making their own brand of music since the beginning. Founded in 1996, the band started with an odd yet satisfying blend of metal and rap, spawning smash hits like Crawling, Papercut, In The End and more.

    One More Light throws all of that away.
    From the first synths of 'Nobody Can Save Me,' it becomes brutally clear this is going to be a textbook-definition pop album. Blinded by the unfortunate passing of Chester Bennington, fans have flocked en masse to defend this album.
    For a pop album, it's a well-written gem. But unfortunately, other genres of music exist, and Linkin Park was born and raised in them. A few well-made jewels shine in the murky depths of this excruciatingly dull experience, and the title track is one of the best Linkin Park songs to date. However, the highs of this album are only highs in the context of it, and are still lows compared to previous Linkin Park works.    … Expand

Whilst a few songs in particular stand out (at least to me), such as 'Nobody Can Save Me' and the titular track, which is one of the best things the band has written in their whole history, the experimentation aspect makes the album sound like the majority of what was coming out during the mid 2010s. It's really ironic, considering just three years prior, Mike spoke out against the state of the current rock scene, resulting in the release of 'The Hunting Party' which showed real promise in the band's progression. I can't hate on the album too much, though. It's not bad to listen to, it's very easy going and works well as background noise, but had Chester and Mike not been on the vocals, it really would've had almost nothing that would make it stand out against the competition.

    Hopefully their next release will revitalise the band and give them new light. Mike himself already showed more promise in his own album 'Post Traumatic', which was a lot more varied and overall had a better song line-up, so I have high hopes.

    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.
