  • Summary: Not quite the next Linkin Park album, 'Reanimation' is instead a remix of their entire debut album, 'Hybrid Theory' (actually, a remix of the Japanese version, which contained extra tracks). The 19 songs here have been reinvented by an array of alternative and hip hop musicians and producers, including members of Korn, Jurassic 5, Orgy, and Staind, and given cryptic new titles such as "Rnw@y" and "My{Dsmbr." (You'd think with all the money they're making they could at least buy a vowel.)… Expand

    A freakazoid musical pastiche. [Oct 2002, p.83]

    When it works, the results are astounding.

    The dominant sound is of flickering sequencers and heavy-handed synth-pomp which showcases Linkin Park's keen interest in the work of Depeche Mode, but also often leaves them sounding about as cutting-edge and dangerous as Jesus Jones.

    It seems like this is a sad attempt to cash in before LP's 15 minutes of fame is up. A few (key word: few) of the mixes are good. I especially loved the remix of One Step Closer. Others had potential but were killed seconds in. Hardcore fans would like it, but I was disapointed LP would stoop this low. Put the good ones as bonus tracks on a cd or just forget about, I say.… Expand

    Remixed crap. Won't ever buy another L.P. CD on faith. Very disappointing, especially considering how great the Hybrid Theory CD was. Techo-remix crap!… Expand
