Can you be a musical artist with just one song?

I’ve been saying this for years, but every Linkin Park song I’ve ever heard sounds the exact same. Additionally, I happen to have a really unhealthy dislike of that one song. Imagine that for a second.

I can’t even come up with a really accurate parallel here, for fear of offending every Linkin Park fan, but I’ll try. It’s kind of like if you really hated cats and every time you walked out on the street, people were pointing out every single cat within sight, saying: “Hey, look at that cat! She’s ssssoooooo cute!! Friend, isn’t that cat so adorable??!!! She’s so talented, with such amazing instrumentals. And that guy’s lyrics are amazing! [well, you know what I mean].” And you’re thinking in your head, “I would really love to pick that cat up by its tail and hammer throw it across the street.” Yes, kind of like this guy, maybe with wifebeater, but probably not with kilt:

Anyway, funny link from Reddit today that really makes me feel validated: “All Linkin Park songs sound the same: Two separate songs, one played in each speaker [MP3]. Apparently somebody layered two Linkin Park son–… whoops, sorry, so easy to do that. What I meant to say was: Apparently somebody took two of the “versions” of the same Linkin Park song, layered them on top of each other, and voila! The newest single from Linkin Park.

Seriously, before they put this mp3 up, I felt like Mugatu in Zoolander: “They’re the same [song]! Doesn’t anybody notice this? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!” Now I can finally live in peace. I’m filing this under ‘Life’ because this is really a seminal moment in my 26 years.

Hallelujah.
