THE REVIEW
After an excellent “The Hunting Party”, Linkin Park disappoints their fans with “One More Light”… Let me start by saying that LP has always experimented, and I am the first to say that experimenting is useful and inspiring, but this is NOT EXPERIMENTING… This is taking Helsey/Katy Perry-style electro-pop samples, adding very lazy synthesizers in the background, and making some cheap little songs… The only track that REALLY conveyed something to me is actually “One More Light”… If a pop artist who is trending now had released this album, I would have been happier… They really had no other ideas, huh? Most of the tracks are the same, or at most they are songs based on an acoustic guitar and voice. I'll go straight to the final judgment… Rating: 4… I hoped this review would last longer, but unfortunately or fortunately, I preferred to just say what I think and that's it, after all, what can be said about this album apart from its catchiness?

Summary by Bot
This review criticizes Linkin Park's One More Light for straying too far into electro-pop territory, losing the experimental edge that defined the band. Except for the title track, the album feels lazy and unoriginal, with repetitive acoustic pop songs. Fans of the band may feel disappointed by this direction.Tracklist

"Change is not synonymous with improvement."
If it weren’t for the voices of Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda, the album would sound quite anonymous and recycled.
