"One More Light" is the seventh studio album by the American rock band Linkin Park, released in 2017. It represents a departure from the band's earlier nu-metal and alternative rock sound, instead embracing a more pop-oriented and electronic direction.
Featuring tracks such as "Heavy," "Battle Symphony," and the title track "One More Light," the album explores themes of loss, emotional struggle, and resilience. Lead vocalist Chester Bennington's poignant lyrics and emotive delivery shine throughout the album, showcasing his vulnerability and introspection.
While "One More Light" received mixed reviews from critics and fans, it was a commercial success, debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 chart. The album's pop-centric sound and exploration of personal themes marked a significant evolution for Linkin Park, demonstrating their willingness to experiment and evolve as artists.
Tragically, "One More Light" would be the final studio album released by Linkin Park before Chester Bennington's untimely death in 2017. The album serves as a poignant reminder of Bennington's talent and the band's enduring impact on the rock music landscape.
