I really really really dont think this album is 'emo'. Linkin Park is not like others bands, they create new things and try diferent styles of music. I think these bands that keep the same beat and notes and melody in every album are really boring. Just because emo people enjoy Linkin Park songs doesnt mean that Linkin Park is emo. I am a bigbigbigbig LP fan, I have friends that like LP too, and we arent emo. And why can't Linkin Park make some different songs? Just because they started as a x style doesn't mean they cant change it.

I loved it, yes different type of direction from the last ones, but all good. great album, people change over years and so do their tastes.

Ok, could have been better by a lot because it is more boring than their previous albums because it has less metal and rap to it. I love "Given Up" and "Bleed It Out". "What I've Done" is okay but the sound is not very good or exciting. Meteora and Hybrid Theory are a lot better.

The only reason every one is being critical and negative is because Linkin Park is trying out a new style in their music. Its different, and I like it. And some people complain that they are getting a little political. So what? It is just a few songs that contain suchg content. If you look at the last two Albums Greenday has produced, you'll hear a whiny Emo kid scream about how he dislikes the US Federal Government.

I never liked Linkin Park. I didn't like them when they were young, filled with manufactured adolescent rage, and just being loud for the sake of being loud. I don't like them now that they're trying to be sensitive and thoughtful. I'm not even into U2 or Coldplay, two of the bands they're obviously aping. So who are they trying to appeal to here? If it's me, then radio still has no idea who I am.

What the fuck is this!? This was my birthday present. and because having your arms broken during my birthday just wasn't enough i had to endure this. I put a 5 because its only good for slow songs.
KATHY xx gave it an8:
Good, not hall of fame material, but good. The band needed to change, and the third album was the time to do it. The result is a pleasant album covering a range of ideas and sounds. And it innovates, unlike its predecessor Meteora which showed little artistic growth and creativity. All the songs, sans the uninspired Given Up, are great to listen through.. it's main flaw is that Linkin Park's new identity removed everything unique about them and it blends into the mainstream. Interestingly, the biggest problems are simpleton fans who will only listen to the same thing rehashed over and over, making this album a bit underrated.
