A guilty pleasure- not good for people set on forcing themselves to stick to indie and only indie. Chester Bennington goes from screaming to whining and back again, the music and lyrics aren't anything really special. The best element is rapper Mike Shinoda. He's not brilliant, but he really brings a lot to the album- it would have been lifeless crap without him. Don't get it if you hate every band ever to be in heavy rotation on MTV, but if you just want a fun record scream along with and there's nothing else you really want to buy at the time, give this a listen.
