    Linkin Park in the antichrist of music, and this record once again proves that they have little imagination ouside of their original formula which was never that good, original, or interesting in the first place.

    This is probably my single favorite CD ever. And i agree with Bob, Figure 8 is my fave song ever, and barely anyone has heard it.

    This album demonstrates intense awareness of the methods behind manufacturing a very catchy and universally acceptable sound while still being original. It displays a range of emotions that almost anyone can relate to in one way or another, and is a must buy.

    This is the best ablum I've heard in a long time. Its not like there are only a few good songs on the album, all of them are worth listening to over and over again.

    When I heard "Downfall" I thought it was a bit hard-rock...It's nothing but Emo. You like Emo? Buy this album. Be warned: "Downfall" is the heaviest song, and that's not saying much either.

    The album's powerful efforts are dilluted by the singer's not knowing when to stop screaming.

    Successful imitation requires a kind of talent, too. [#9, p.156]

    Despite the simplistic formulas present here, these young men have patched together a sound that is catchy and eager for additional spins.

    The singing's understatement and harmonic sophistication help the band transcend overblown corporate rock and embrace sensitive emo pop.
