Critic Reviews
Show All-
Consequence of Sound
a muddled mess of a record from a band that completely abandoned any sense of identity
-
Vulture
One More Light isn’t hard; it’s just hard to listen to.
-
Yakima Herald
There’s strength in this 10-song compilation, and it deals very well with powerful subject matters while not getting too dark and dreary.
-
NY Daily News
It's unescapably heartbreaking to listen to Linkin Park's new album.
-
The National
With Linkin Park’s new album, the vitality that’s core to the group’s sound is gone.
-
Rock Sound
there’s also a sense of liberation running through these 10 tracks; the mark of artists unshackled from their past, stepping into the unknown
-
The Top Tens
not that impressive and fell flat in so many places
-
All Music
devoid of that visceral charge that previously defined much of their catalog. It's a provocative challenge that ultimately fails to satisfy
-
Dead End Follies
It's bland, cliché and derivative pop music that sounds exactly like everything you've heard on the radio over the last two years.
-
Alternative Addiction
it’s something new and different that the band put out in the later stage of their career
-
Alt Wire
This is one show you will not want to miss.
-
Newsday
“One More Light” shows how well Linkin Park has absorbed the current pop scene and applied it to their own music to genuinely reflect who they are today, not who some fans want them to be.
-
Syn
it’s almost as if the band threw out everything that fans liked about them
-
Hot Press
competitively contemporary, easily digestible, eminently listenable, if fleeting and inconsequential
-
Eventalaide
Linkin Park make the music they want to make so the one good thing is, you have no idea what Linkin Park will do next.
-
The Sound Board
cold and lifeless
-
Gulf News
They’re so good that they’ve created a very good, up-to-the-minute pop album.
-
Wall of Sound
One More Light has officially killed this once reputable band’s brand
-
Heavy Nagazine
It seems that old Linkin Park nu-metal sound has been dead and buried forever.
-
Newport City Radio
a great album
-
Evening Standard
As an attempt to stay relevant it’s bold, but it might send more fans running away than towards them.
-
All Things Loud
Its significantly poppier direction has caused much uproar within the alternative community, but why?
-
Ghost Cult
Linkin Park definitely achieved the album they were going for, and it works on a massive level about half the time.
-
The Spectrum
“One More Light” is a good pop album. It’s easy on the ears. It has some nice hooks and a few great beats.
-
Knox News
“One More Light” is an unapologetic pop album, and a lot of Linkin Park fans aren’t going to like it. Unfortunately, most pop fans aren’t going to like it either – not its sluggish pace, not its mopey mood and not its derivative sound.
-
Empty Lighthouse
When the whole album sounds soft, it gets monotonous when all of the songs start to sound the same.
-
Courier
filled with softer beats than fans are used to and vocals are more pop than anything else. However, I’m not opposed to change and very much welcome this unexpected and apparent genre shift.
-
Ben's Beat
whatever this is, is very sad
-
The Music
going pop wasn't the best idea. Sometimes it's best to stick with what you do best — rock.
-
Rock Sins
an OK pop album
-
Hysteria Magazine
it sounds like everything around it and that’s the real disappointment.
-
Kill Your Stereo
Linkin Park is at a point now where they can take a few years to experiment, write, and record a new album with a different sound from their previous release, and then do it all over again on the next cycle; with a different or new sound no less. That’s exciting.
-
Digital Journal
Linkin Park is superb on One More Light
-
Sound Words STL
Unfortunately, the execution here misses the mark, and the album doesn’t only lack the sound of peak Linkin Park -- it lacks the spirit of it.
-
GBHBL
One More Light is a terrible album, one of the worst albums of the decade.
-
The One Magazine
One More Light may be the boldest step the band has taken, showing a lot of vulnerabilities but it works out beautifully.
-
Surreal Resolution
Skip it. Just don’t even bother at all.
-
Artistically Trustworthy
misses the mark that fans will expect for innovation and making a statement within the music industry.
-
Irish Times
Come back, nu-metal, all is forgiven: Linkin Park go soft
-
Already Heard
With ‘One More Light’, Linkin Park have taken any redeeming quality they had and flushed it down the toilet.
-
Blasting News
It may have been a critical mistake.
-
El Broide
Sure, this is Linkin Park’s most confusing release to date, but doing something different was necessary.
-
Renowned for Sound
Linkin Park incorporated a spectrum of styles into this album but kept it a cohesive collection.
-
Album Analysis
The mind-numbing melodic pacing and extremely ugly synthetic textures summed up a disastrous attempt to sound fun and market friendly.
-
Sound Fiction
All in all, for anyone who enjoys modern alternative pop and electronic music, and is able to appreciate a few different genres, will absolutely love this album.
-
Courier Journal
Not all bands get better with age.
-
Hey Nineteen
There’s some enjoyment to be had in the smoothness of the recordings and the little quirks here and there.
-
Fan Sided
just a bad album
