Linkin Park : Papercut

By naming themselves after the public gardens found in every US town, Linkin Park were born
to sturdy ubiquity. Trouble is, there's so much of this nu-metal stuff around, all of it claiming
to have some kind of weather system inside its head (here, a "whirlwind") or a metaphorical medical upset ("a face beneath your skin"), keeping up with it is nigh on impossible. 'Papercut'
is another single from the globe-conquering 'Hybrid Theory' LP
and looks set to be their biggest UK hit to date. I don't know... It's probably best to draw a red baseball cap over the whole affair.Victoria Segal
