One More Light is the seventh studio album from the 5-time Grammy winning Rock group, Linkin Park. They took a completely different direction with this album than they have with any of their others. They branched away from their hard rock/nu metal roots of Hybrid Theory and most recently The Hunting Party. The songs on this album are far more upbeat and don't include any hard rock guitar riffs or drum solos. It sounds much more like a modern pop album with almost every song including a variety of electronic synths and the like. If someone with no prior of Linkin Park was to listen to One More Light and Meteora back to back, they would have no clue that both albums came from the same band.Although many people are disappointed with the new album and proclaim LP as sellouts, I think the album is very good. I would rather listen to this album on repeat for a year than listen to a single Chainsmoker song. If it truly is classified as a pop album, at least it's good pop with character and variety. You have to give Linkin Park some creds for doing something completely out of their comfort zone, and doing it well.
