Thread might be dead, but i was listening to Kevin and Bean in the morning on KROQ, and one of them had a chance to listen to the album. I think he said it was somewhere along the line of "awesome" and that they have a security guard making sure the cd doesn't get stolen/distributed 😀

Haha... Fat chance on it not being leaked rampantly accross the internet within the next few days/weeks.

Heh, my cousin [well, his company actually] does their website. I remember picking up his cellphone one time by accident (we both had samsung 8500s at the time) when it rang and the caller ID said Mike Shinoda and I was like WTF???

Oh yea, another time we were fscking around with Mike on IRC. They all like to hang out in the chat rooms and on the fan club message boards...

their first CD rocked, but then everybody started catching on and liking it for dumb reasons.

"Yeah i love hip hop/techno, I hate rock, but I'll listen to Linkin Park".... bleah. It went too mainstream and the 2nd album was the nail in the coffin for me. As if they couldn't cater more towards non-rock fans. If people take offense to this I don't like a lot of the cross-genre stuff... Blink 182 turning pop, Sugar Ray going pop, etc. I don't mind it when bands try to look for inspiration cross-genres but when they're doing it for the fame and money it reeks.

Hopefully their 3rd album will change my mind, and even if it doesn't there hasn't been any good music for at least a good half year. All the "The" bands kind of faded away and Coldplay's album was the last good thing I found and bought.

I don't think it was for the money or the selling out of any nature... If they wanted to sell tons of units on Reanimation, why not put Jay Z, Ja Rule, and Eminem on there? Instead, they put on rappers who 95% of AT readers haven't heard outside of Reanimation. They're just doing what they do.

I've heard of a good amount of their other rappers, but it's the whole blending of genres issue that i didn't particularily enjoy. They're trying to blend white music with black music and it's just =\. Anyways, maybe it's just that I'm disillusioned with hip hop these days, even underground hip hop is dying in my mind - the genre's been tainted by a few of the brainless ones.

Music is colorblind man, don't get it twisted. It's all love.
