Oh, Linkin Park you giant ball of angst. I didn’t understand what made this album so wonderful. Their lyrics have always been rather angsty and angry, but that was when they were backed up by amazing beats and complex musical compositions. Now it’s incredibly simple, which isn’t always a bad thing, and because the lead’s singers vocals (as appealing as it is) and lyrics aren’t particularly original, they have made themselves sound like every other band with angsty lyrics.

Their political ventures were also a little odd. Though I agree with them, I really don’t want to listen to political preaching from Linkin Park.

I could barely get through the entire album. I was bored stiff.

Perhaps I would have enjoyed this album more if I didn’t know what I was missing, but I do and I’m not happy about it. Thumbs down for sure.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this album!

After buying this album I actually joined LinkinParkUnderground.

I got some pretty cool stuff for doing so too!

is it wrong that i keep thinking how great some of these songs would be to play in guitar hero?

i’m loving this cd right now.
