Chester BenningtonвЂ™s screams have been replaced with dramatic вЂњna-na-nasвЂќ layered with background vocals. After what in retrospect feels like a concession to fans, the band have now moved boldly forward with a drastic reinvention. On 2014вЂ™s The Hunting Party, Linkin ParkВ decided to reach back towards their roots with a heavy, abrasive nu-metal record featuring collaborations by Tom Morello and System of A DownвЂ™s Daron Malakian, to mostly diminishing returns. The band flirted with EDM and pop before, notably on 2010вЂ™s A Thousand Suns, but the sugary hooks, booming synths, and vaguely inspirational lyrics mark a drastic reinvention for a band who, even at their nadir, always retained their identity. After a 10-year journey that began with collaborating with Rick Rubin for 2007вЂ™s Minutes to Midnight, the band no longer resembles the nu-metal/rap hybrid who helped define a chunk of the early вЂ™00s in any form. ^ Caulfield, Keith (July 16, 2017).The version of Linkin Park heard on One More Light, the bandвЂ™s seventh album, is entirely unrecognizable.1 on Billboard 200, Calvin Harris Debuts at No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart With 'Melodrama' '. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart With 'Witness' '. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart With 'Hopeless Fountain Kingdom' '. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart With 'True to Self' '. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart With 'One More Light' '. 1 for Third Week on Billboard 200, Gorillaz Bow at No. 1 on Billboard 200, Incubus & 'Guardians 2' Debut in Top 10'.
