    I heard "Post Traumatic" this morning. It was TRAUMATIC FOR ME to be subjected to this GARBAGE! The songs and production were BOTH HORRIBLE BEYOND BELIEF! AS a VETERAN artist, I expect better from the likes of Shinoda. I am so sick and tired of VETERAN artists like him selling out their legacies by putting out the same GARBAGE of their younger contemporaries.

    There is ZERO originality here. Typical, tired a** use of trap musickkk beats; horrible song structure; banal, boring, trite "lyrics". Recommendation for Shinoda: don't quit your hustle with Linkin Park and go exclusively solo. And please don't turn Link Park into the sh**hole that are your solo efforts! :-(

    Post Traumatic is emotional, charged, relevant. Mike Shinoda is a craft individual who knows how to build beats, melodies, ideas with slightly-unusual samples and instruments but still land something that has real pop appeal while occasionally pushing that hip-hop edge that he portrays so well throughout his career. It's not going to satisfy all of the broken Linkin Park fans but PostPost Traumatic is emotional, charged, relevant.

It's not going to satisfy all of the broken Linkin Park fans but Post Traumatic will be some kind of healing process and rejuvenation experience for at least some of those fans. Definitely worth a listen.… Expand

    Throughout Post Traumatic, you can sense how unmoored Shinoda is without that spectacle. His chest doesn’t puff out as far as it did on Fort Minor. His compositions don’t detonate like his best work for Linkin Park. His bandmates aren’t there to lift him up when he falls short. He sounds abandoned.

    It's an important, thoughtful album that will serve to unite the grief-stricken with a new-found sense of purpose to find some form of healing. [9 Jun 2018, p.53]

    While Post Traumatic takes an emotional toll, it ultimately instills feelings of hope and the idea that things can get better. For Shinoda, Linkin Park, and their devoted followers, it's an effective group therapy session.
