    Bennington and his Dead by Sunrise bandmates (who hail from the electronic rock band Julien-K) also display a deft touch with atmospherics and textures on tracks like "Too Late," "Give Me Your Name" and the goth-tinged "Let Down," among others

    Mr. Bennington strives to sound sympathetic, but after a song or two it's clear that his only sympathy is for himself; there's no humility, much less humor or proportion. As real as his prolonged adolescent angst is supposed to be, it quickly curdles into narcissism.
  3. Rolling Stone

    The album is oddly inert, lacking both the brute force and big choruses that raised Linkin Park to rap-rock godhead status.

    There seem to be a lot of people out there that just don't get this album and give it a low rating because they either don't see its message or are afraid of it. Chester has preempted this and points it out during the course of the record. Mass appeal is not what this album is about, but that doesn't mean it's a niche piece of artwork to be consigned to the failed "side project" bin. Rather, in time it will become respected, important, and have enduring appeal. As a message to Chester and all those out there that do get the message; keep searching for us, and I'll keep looking for you.… Expand

    It's not a bad album. It just isn't anything spectacular. Pretty much more of the same from Linkin Park's 'Minutes to Midnight' and that wasn't very good either.… Expand
