Quite a number of people have been really pissy about this album. Especially because it sounds different from Linkin Park's previous albums. I've listened to this album numerous times and I personally think it turned out to be a really great album. I think it was cool that they stepped out and tried something different with their music (and Linkin Park isn't the only one who people have complained about changing how their music sounds). Because really, it would probably start to sound a little boring if they just did the same stuff over and over. So I think this album was great whether people think it sucks or not.
