HUMANITY MUST BE DESTROYED

The good news is that Linkin Park’s new single, “The Catalyst,” doesn’t sound exactly like every other song the band has ever recorded; the bad news is, it might actually be worse. Zach Shaw at Metal Insider points out that the tune has an uncanny resemblance to Turkey’s entry in the 2010 Eurovision contest, which is to say, Linkin Park now sound like a terrible disco rock band that might be enjoyed by a Sacha Baron Cohen character. This might even ruin the new Medal of Honor for me, if I didn’t already know that I’m just gonna turn the sound off and crank Prostitute Disfigurement while I kill things anyway.
