Gee yer right man, not one shred of intelligence what so ever. I'm not even a huge fan of theirs..they aren't one of my favorite bands, I don't even own one of their CD's but I respect the hell out of them. Especially Mike Shinoda. He IS an intelligent lyricist I don't care what anyone says.

first off, when i say musical talent, i mean actually being able to play thier instruments properly, linkin park doesnt use solos, and they try to make people think theyre doing it to be different than all the other bands out there, but its actually just cause they suck, if by talent you mean being able to make people believe terrible musicianship isnt terrible, then i guess they do have talent. the only member of linkin park i do respect for his talent is rob bourdon, thier drummer(yes, i actually know shit about them, dont act so supprised) and as for lyrics, anybody can use metaphors to sound smart, heres an example of some real comtemplative lyrics with an actual meaning to them

Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming
It's not so easy to stop from screaming
But words escape me when I try to speak
Tears they flow but why am I crying
After all I am not afraid of dying
Don't believe that there is never an end
As the guards march me out to the courtyard
Someone calls from a cell "God be with you"
If there's a God then why has he let me die?
As I walk all my life drifts before me
And though the end is near I'm not sorry
Catch my soul cos it's willing to fly away
Mark my words please believe my soul lives on
Please don't worry now that I have gone
I've gone beyond to see the truth
When you know that your time is close at hand
maybe then you'll begin to understand
Life down there is just a strange illusion.
Hallowed be thy name
