I myself have heard the album by several times already, and this partly. Arg blatant statements of the so-called "real fans" have motivated me to write my first ever recession. As someone who has not heard LP since the first hour, but for some years now and occasionally travels to concerts, I would like to refer to as "Fan", even if it is interpreted here seems different.
After "The Catalyst" is indeed appeared a few weeks ago, I was very excited about the album and even more to the reviews. Personally, I really liked the music, but also only really after frequent Listen. After the album for the first time is then completely gone through, I was, like most here only times confused and did not know what to make of it. Meanwhile, there is in all the players at home, at work and in the car. Rarely has a plate so fascinated me like this one. And I would like to join some (!) Of the previous speakers, that you should definitely listen to it as a collective work and also rezessieren.
It is excellently coordinated between rich beats (eg Wretches and Kings) and emotional ballads (eg Burning in the Skies), between ordinary riffs and of course everything that the Synthesizer will bear. And it is this eclectic mix is so special about this album. Closer I will not go into the songs here, like I said, the album as a whole is one (and that includes intros and interludes ...)
And I do not think the LP so even wanted to enter a few dollars, but simply time to make songs that appeal to you and maybe not every "fan". Who is open for new experiences, can be surprised and happy times in Linkin Park is not only "Hybrid Theory" but a modern, bold band looks, which can not be pushed into the NuMetal drawer, which I can recommend highly the disc.
I for one am looking forward to the concert in Frankfurt, no matter what represents an "audience" there in the crowd (it is apparently forgotten that it is about the people on and not in front of the stage ...) And if a few less " real fans "there are, the better, less nagging ;-).
