Review

Linkin Park's Papercuts (Singles Collection 2000–2023) is a powerful retrospective that showcases the band's evolution over two decades. The album feels like a time capsule, offering a masterful blend of nu-metal angst, experimental electronic textures, and poignant lyricism that made them one of the most iconic bands of their generation. The collection spans their most memorable hits, from the raw energy of early tracks like One Step Closer and In the End to the more polished, introspective anthems such as Burn It Down and Lost. Fans will appreciate how seamlessly the album transitions between their explosive early sound and their later, genre-defying experiments. What makes Papercuts particularly special is its ability to evoke the emotional highs and lows of Linkin Park’s journey. It’s not just a greatest hits album; it’s a celebration of their resilience and artistry. For both longtime fans and newcomers, this collection serves as a reminder of the enduring impact Linkin Park has had on modern music.
