    Terrible listen. Perhaps the only thing worse than this album is the ego of the band members. In 2010, a brave Shinoda claims that LP's new album will be so great, they will need a new genre name for it. "Poor" would be quite fitting.

    This album is so bad I threw it out the window after 15 mins. I can't believe I wated 5 years for junk. I was the biggest die hard LP fan and I am so disapointed. The music sounded like stuff they maybe made the first month they started there band and just edited it a little and produced crap so they can make some fast cash since they spent there money the past few years not doing This album is so bad I threw it out the window after 15 mins.

All but one song are slow slongs that have no amp to it. I would rather listen to a Color Me Bad album 24 hours a day for the rest of my life then hear this junk a for second. Linkin Park is another Limp Bisket. You both suck.… Expand

    Their best album was Hybrid Theory hands down, this..well this isn't that, they tried to mature but they went for the worse.

    this is worse than the kevin federline record. a 0/0 is still too high for an atrocious record like this one.

    The sound of a dog getting his nuts chopped off sounds more exciting than listening to this album. This album has one of the... no, scratch that - THE WORST lyrics I've ever heard ("filthy mouth, no excuse"? you have got to be kidding me). A vomitting cat has better vocals than Chester, and Mr. Fart Minor is the worst rapper I've ever heard, with Kevin Federline close behind in The sound of a dog getting his nuts chopped off sounds more exciting than listening to this album.

Even a little help from Rick Rubin couldn't help the band from sounding like an even shittier version of Creed. No further explanation needed for why Linkin Park IS truly THE most hated in the universe. This album doesn't deserve to be anywhere above a -10/100.… Expand

    As someone who's loved LP for as long as they've been around, and even counting the days until the CD was released, but all this CD makes me do is laugh at how bad they sound because they went from good rock/rap emo to something that just sucks.

    Complete and total garbage. It is nothing but Emo trash. The whole album is a total rip-off, especially the political remarks. Wow, maybe they should tour with System of a Down and spew that cliche, mindless garbage together. They are just sell-outs to the Emo and anti-war cultures. Total disappointment.

    Heard the whole thing with my brother in his car. God awful. It's like all they are trying to do is end up in a soundtrack for a Michael Bay movie (which they did). One horrible rock ballad after another. They try so hard to be thoughtful and emotional, but ends up being a sob session for guys who probably realize they suck, and just want someone, anyone, so like them.

    progression. reinvention. evolution. linkin park is unessential. this album is imitation. it is filth that dulls the minds of the many who listen to it. we as a human race must evolve past this garbage. or remain stupid. and continue to de-evolve.

    The first album I ever bought was Meteora. I waited 4 years for a new album and they come out with this...change is fine, but ditching everything that made you great as well as the powerful lyrics and melodies behind all good rock for the sake of change is just stupid and makes me regret every penny I spent on this album.

Maybe they do have some supporters for this album, but I guarantee you that not one of these songs will be played a year or two from now. I just hope Linkin Park learns from this mishmash of an album. Please.… Expand

    Soooo disappointing! i wanted a album just like meteora or hybrid theory, something to rock out to. they dropped the rapper for the most part, put way less special effects in there, and put in enough ballods to make anyone bored to death. i hope that they can bring back the fire of there old albums in their next album.

    I love Linkin Park because they are so creative but this album was anything but that. I am so disappointed. A HUGE let down. It just might be the worst album of the summer.

    Chester Bennington tries to break away from being Shinoda's sidekick, and fails miserably. The album is trash, i'm glad I didn't buy it the first day it came out, because that'd be one of the most expensive coasters i've ever bought. Next time i'm craving some Linkin Park, i'll queue up "The Rising Tied".

    To be honest I've kinda Given Up on Linkin Park. It's not they they constantly produce terrible music; it's the fact they have music has kinda altered to a point that makes me wish the band would Wake up and realize their newer sound isn't working. So this begs the question at what point in time has the mighty Linkin Park fallen, well the answer has finally come clear to me now. May 15,To be honest I've kinda Given Up on Linkin Park.

So this begs the question at what point in time has the mighty Linkin Park fallen, well the answer has finally come clear to me now. May 15, 2007. This album is terrible for a variety of reason and could quite possibly be their worst. To start with the lyrics are so depressing it's boarder line comical, but I've hated the songs on this album before analyzing the lyrics. The sound is stuck In Between annoying screaming and dull emo. It's sounds like the studio wanted them to rush out another album and Linkin Park decided to take their anger and Bleed It Out onto the songs giving no care as to how that will turn out. Shadow Of The Day is probably the only worthwhile song on this track to listen to, so if you are a Linkin Park fan do yourself a favor and Leave Out All The Rest. What I've Done is mediocre even if it did become popular thanks to Transformers.… Expand

    The California rap-rockers are stymied by their decision to stay roughly within the shrieky boundaries of their genre (albeit with less emphasis on the rap).
