^I feel like under general music discussions we can talk about anything music... no matter how ridiculous or horrible the topic might be. I say it's all fair.

I bought their album Hybrid Theory many years ago, after a holiday in Canada, where I kept hearing some of the songs wherever I went.

Played it one when I got home, but when I came down of the holiday high, I lost interest PDQ. Could they go prog? I've no idea. To be honest I had no idea they were still going.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Well here's Linkin Park's brand new single which answers this question pretty definitively.
 
It's a prog fan's dream in many ways because the video depicts Linkin Park being set on fire.
 
Musically, with a different vocal, it could pass for a Britney Spears song.

Nope. Listened to that album through and through because the 12 year old remembered how much he use to love that band. Older me hates it, Not progressive.

Isn't that that band where people die when they play live?

Can't be much different from Prog Metal, they'd fit right in.

The OP is correct in that Linkin Park have made some very unexpected music. Minutes To Midnight is one of the biggest about faces a mainstream band has ever performed.
 
However, the problem is that Linkin Park are terrible. While I admire their ambition, they lack talent, songwriting skills and sense. Only Chester Bennington's occasionally superb vocals save them from being a complete joke and I have long hoped he would go solo.

I've heard they might be releasing a 17-minute long song with polyrhythms, 23 instruments, 4-voice fugues and crossed harmonies. I also heard the lyrics will deal with the goal of man on earth from a hindu-sino-earthly perspective, with emphasis on the environment and the achievement of full integration between one's soul and God Inti.

Linkin Park is still a band?

no

Also remember, "a little different" =/= prog.
Edit: Also, a concept album =/= prog  and nuclear war isn't exactly a mindblowing topic. Kudos for changing it from being emo though.


Sums it up well.  
New album!

I am pretty sure that is the opposite of the truth. They didn't release another terrible rap-rock album because nobody likes that kind of music anymore.
Never doubt the potency of nostalgia.
