Linkin Park Rises From the Ashes With Dark Songs, a Joyful Attitude and a New Singer Who Does Primal Scream Therapy Proud: Concert Review
At Linkin Park's Forum show, their first in seven years and first with a new female singer, the band made the case for carrying on, and then some.
But the reconstituted and reconfigured group passed a serious test Wednesday night at the Kia Forum, powering through two hours’ worth of legacy material, with Mike Shinoda vigorously fulfilling his co-frontman duties and Armstrong stepping into the newly created role of co-frontwoman. Whatever controversies have been attendant with this all-important new addition — and there have been multiple headlines to make it clear not everyone is on board with her — when it comes to the actual matter of the music, you would’ve been hard-pressed to find a soul in the galvanized Forum crowd who would have told you this risky gambit wasn’t paying off.
