Since this is a concept album, you should listen to the work in whole. Except for some quieter pieces is nothing "LP like" excessive on the CD. So if Chesters "screaming":) expected on the CD will be (with one exception) disappointed.
Me personally all the hype about the album is strongly reminiscent of my youth, namely to 1974 when Genesis' The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway "was released. This album the listener inclined revealed itself only after repeated listen. (I understand "right" it :) until years later) Even today, it is one of the "better" concept albums.
I find the album of Linkin Park more than succeeded. Respect!
This, however, should also let LP this experiment is based on, and again next time give correctly gas !!
Nevertheless, only courage and for you!
