It’s been seven years since One More Light and Chester Bennington’s tragic passing—an event many thought would mark the band’s end. Yet in 2024, Linkin Park returns with From Zero, a nod to their original name, Xero.
Reformation
Freshly reformed with new vocals from Emily Armstrong and Colin Brittain on drums, From Zero feels and sounds very much a reflection of the new Linkin Park. For long-time fans, there are definitely familiar Nu metal elements, but there's definitely been some changes, which is apparent in several of the tracks.
My choice picks include The Emptiness Machine, Heavy is the Crown, Two Faced and Over Each Other.
Linkin Park's journey has been one of highs and lows, however, From Zero emerges as a testament to their enduring spirit and ability to evolve.
