My Review -- 2/10

Well, I have gotten my hands on the album already (due out Tuesday), and I have to say that Linkin Park has gone in a direction that I am not sure they will bounce back from. This new album is some of the worst stuff I have heard from any band as of late. They have attempted to break away from the hip-hop/rock combination for something that is rather emo-like. The vast majority of their songs are very mellow and literally make me want to go to sleep. The lyrics are horrid and the beats/instrumentals that lay behind them are even worse. Also, they have about 6 filler tracks that are about 30 seconds to 1 minute long that have absolutely nothing to do with anything. Just feels like a load of fluff.

Yea when I first heard the single off of this album I could tell they completely changed their sound to appeal to a broader audience. Shame, but some bands have to in order to keep making money.

is garbage

is S-H-I-T
