HUMANITY MUST BE DESTROYED

The good news is that Linkin Park’s new single, “The Catalyst,” doesn’t sound exactly like every other song the band has ever recorded; the bad news is, it might actually be worse. Zach Shaw at Metal Insider points out that the tune has an uncanny resemblance to Turkey’s entry in the 2010 Eurovision contest, which is to say, Linkin Park now sound like a terrible disco rock band that might be enjoyed by a Sacha Baron Cohen character. This might even ruin the new Medal of Honor for me, if I didn’t already know that I’m just gonna turn the sound off and crank Prostitute Disfigurement while I kill things anyway.

    Good God.

    Worst fucking shite I’ve ever heard. Only made it to 1:35 before turning it off.

    Dreadful.

    • Ian

      i got to 1:40 lol

      • Cladgemeister

        1:45! YES! Do I win?

        • Vakarm

          listened to all of it. Ow, my freakin ears

          i hate myself

        • Sickboy666

          1:20.

          • Type-O-Positive

            2:15 and only cause I got distracted… but we should really subtract 30 seconds from the time because the song didn’t really start until 30-40 seconds in… just saying. still sucks though.

  • Spanky

    WTF is this shit?

  • orbital

    Is there a need to post about this band every 3-4 days and go on about how shit they are? We get it. We know you hate them. We hate them. Everyone hates them. You’re preaching to the choir, amirite?

  • MetalRam

    I have got to tip my hat to Linkin Park to be honest.

    I did not think it was in anyway possible for them to suck more than they already did. I was wrong. Respect Chester et al. I feel like such an ass now!

  • Chainsaw Majini

    Linkin Park sucks horse shit out of a tyrannosaurus rex’s cock.

  • Vakarm

    Sounds like those terrible “crunk-core” bands you guys keep posting….

    I wanna submit Linkin Park as a new “Shitstain on the ass of the universe”

  • Honeynutzz

    AHahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

    Awful song for an awful game.

  • luomuhappo

    I can’t believe I paused Ulver for hearing that….

  • Franco

    …well….at least the trailer was cool….

  • Sin and Death

    I know dance music is popular right now, but Linkin Park has really outdone themselves this time. It’s so fucking synth-driven and processed, it makes me want to either dance, puke, or go on a rampage. Or perhaps a dancing puke rampage….

    In other news, Linkin Park has announced their fall tour, which will only make stops at European discoteques.

  • hexbasher

    what the fuck was thar?????god bless us every one????thankfully i’m from a lesser god than linkin crap….wtf…seriously…..gaaaahhhhh…i’m not gonna have to play high on fire all morning until i forget aboot that noise

  • Jacob

    This song is really bad, but for some reason, it’s growing on me. =|

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Nick-Spanish/1589212723 Nick Spanish

    sounds like something out of DDR

  • William Grimmkvlt

    Let me guess, Chester whines endlessly about his middle-school torment while the Asian guy busts some funky fresh rhymes.

    • BabiesKillYou

      No, Chester seems to be sucking Uncle Sam’s cock while God “blesses” him with a finger up his ass.

        …no?

  • http://www.schenkeltown.com SchenkelTown

    the only thing more annoying than the new linkin park song, is people bitching about it. why are you listening to a band you know you don’t like in the first place? i hate nickelback’s music, so why would i spend 1 second listening to a new nickelback song…?

    • shotkocker

      good point

    • Dysenteric

      Morbid curiosity. That’s my reason.

      • paganheart

        Ditto…and I honestly think I’d rather perform a root canal on myself than listen to that again.

        Sadly I know plenty of people who actually consider Linkin Park a METAL band…talk about dragging a good name through the mud.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Ben-Robson/1375985482 Ben Robson

    i actually liked it. not my favorite song by them, but it was catchy and i liked the lyrics.

    • http://www.facebook.com/slayerx1x Amir Palma

      Its the same fucking thing I said, I couldn’t believe it was them at first. But its catchy as fuck!

      • Poopenshaft

        kill yourselves

        • http://www.facebook.com/slayerx1x Amir Palma

          Naw, dude. Go fuck yourself

  • cyrollan

    it’s not so bad… cause it’s not instantly recognizable as linkin park. heck, i’ll admit i liked their first album (for two spins, before i realized that every song was the same)… though i was 18. no biggie, i like to think it was one of the stepping stones to good metal, IE nile

  • Jizzmaster3000

    I bet Sergeant D loves this.

  • Jewers

    Hey do the Metalsucks guys like Linkin Park?

    still better than hair metal

  • shotkocker

    hahahahaha, and the best part is, stinkin krap probably thinks theyve made a great record. dont get me wrong, this album will most likely go platinum, and good for them, but dear god, this is worse than u2′s last couple singles.

    I’d take some generic 80s synth pop any day over Linkin Park’s old crap.

  • Dysenteric

    I made it through to the end. I’ve seen and heard more excruciating things on daytime television. You kids are soft.

    • Dysenteric

      It sounds like LP recorded a song, then did a dance remix of it, then decided to delete the original to make way for the remix. Awful.

  • Axem

    its good, considering they are not metal. I know most of you guys would like them to suddenly sound like decrepit birth. They don’t, I’m sorry.

    • Axem

      They held a contest named “Linkin Park, featuring YOU”

      Which was kinda cool. I think the final release of the song will be the remix of the contest winner.

  • DidgeryDo

    I thought it was allright.

  • Franco

    Jose Luis Rodriguez Says That This Is The Best Song Ever……..

  • You Don’t Know Me

    Horrible song.

    Glad to see Prostitute Disfigurement getting a mention on here finally!

  • Jonathan

    …and i thought they could sink no lower than their last album. -facepalm- How wrong I was… I don’t believe I’ve never been more disappointed. I was hoping for a comeback to their nu-metal-ish sound… too bad.

    Next time you guys make fun of bands like Linkin Park, remember that you have 36 Crazyfists advertisements all over the screen. Just a thought.
