Advantages: A mix of everything, Somthing for everyone on this album

Disadvantages: A place for my head and one ctep closer are becoming over played on the radio

Linkin Park are a breath of fresh air in the fast stagnating rock scene. They have a mix of heavy guitars, sort rhythms, melodic vocals and rap lyrics. Their sound isn't the totally new being quite simalar to deftones, but there is a rap twist in many tracks that makes them different.
On to the album itself. The albums kicks off on a great number, Papercut. This track gives the mix of everything that makes up Linkin Park. It has a rap style verse format with some fairly quiet but still jagged chords. Once you reach the chorus however the song explodes into power chords and some nice vocals. The album has a couple of remakes of their own songs most notably being 'A Place for my head' which is practiaclly the same as 'Esaul' on the Hybrid Theory EP.
If you are the rock/metal scene but are bored of the likes of Limpo Bizkit then this is for you.
Also if you like ths get your mitts on: Hybrid Theory EP by Hybrid Theory. Same band different name.
