Linkin Park. Possibly the biggest scam artists in the entire world.
First, they come out with Hybrid Theory in 2000, which was a phenomenal album, selling over 10 million albums in the US alone. Next, someone in the band had a "great" idea. Let's put some electronic beats in the background of all of the songs from Hybrid Theory and turn it into another entire album, and let me tell you, that's exactly what they did. Instead of "Crawling", it was now "Krwlng". Instead of "A Place for My Head", it was now "Plc.4 Mie Hæd". Instead of "Forgotten", it was now "Frgt/10". You get the idea, right? A bunch of bull shit names for the exact same songs. BUT WAIT! Why not do the same songs AGAIN with Jay Z rapping in the background? So they did. In 2004, Linkin Park partnered with Jay Z and put out Collision Course.
In case y'all don't quite understand, Linkin Park managed to put the SAME songs on THREE different albums, and sold millions of copies of each album. What does that say about us, as humans? We like to pay for the same shit over and over again, slightly different variations.
That's crazy, but hey, that's pop music, right?
