The best rap CD i've heard since...well ever!!!!

That's a broad statement, but coming from a guy who listens to all styles of music but stays away from most modern rap, it makes sense. Now, OK, it might be biased that I do like Linkin Park, and checked the CD out based on the fact that Mike Shinoda was the main person in the group, but that doesn't mean that I went in expecting an LP CD. In fact, I'm glad it's not, this CD is a break from the nu-metal that Mike's been doing for the last decade. Anyway into the review. The beats on here are excellent. Yes similar to something Hahn would put in an LP song. The raps are awesome. This guy is very talented. He can make a biting angry song (Cigarette, Petrified) one minute and a sad song (Where'd You Go?) the next. This is definitely a CD that people not only LP fans but everyone in general can listen to and enjoy. So yeah, get it!

Because I am Biased and Because its True...

This is hands down the best CD I've heard in awhile. Very rarely will I find a cd on which I love each and every song. Linkin Park, AC/DC, and a band called Anberlin are the only few bands (as well as a few unknowns) that have ever done so. This is another one. I can't say anything more than others have already but I will say this. Linkin Park for life! And praise and props go to all those bands who search for such unique sounds. Listen to the song kenji and think about it. It really gives me chills when I hear it...

this is true hip-hop and rap

i find it utterly pathetic that people don't know about this album...
