There are huge differences, for a much more quiet songs and little more "loud". I thought that was not bad but on the contrary really good !! Especially with song number 7 Hands Held High please I particularly to hear all the text !! That's the most brilliant song from her text, has ever produced the Linkin Park. The only gripe I have to say that the album is again too short. Not even 50 minutes and the intro could have been even save yourself. But otherwise a really good album
