"Linkin Park are back to the old roots now! Hooray! Though I still did like some of their electronic rock music. This is definitely their strongest point. Pretty good album and quite frankly I think it's their best since Meteora. Good work Linkin Park!"  Reply

"The first two songs are absolutely incredible, two of my favourites from the year. And, although the rest of the album does not quite reach those heights, they are still very good."  Reply

"I discovered this album while doing research into Dylan covers ~ the way MMEB take Dylan's shortest song (under 1m 30s) and turn it into a 9m 55s classic is a masterpiece. I have added this version of the song onto my 'top 100 Dylan covers' chart."  Reply

"This album is not their 2nd best. Is actually one of their worst. Wings of Tomorrow is their best. 2nd best is their "Out of this World" album. Third is "The Final Countdown". Fourth is their very first album which was great. Prisoners of Paradise reminds me of the beginning of a child's cartoon...."  [+]  Reply

"Still regarded as one of the most important and influential albums in the history of Christian music. If that kind of thing appeals to you then you must listen to this album."  Reply

"common suffers from being boring and monotonous at times, its like his voice is TOO smooth that you forget youre listening to it. either way his writing ability and poetic take on hip-hop cannot be ignored, where would we be without "I Used to Love H.E.R."?"  Reply

"(This is an album wrapped up in the death of David Balfe's best friend. It explores beautifully all the angles of that grief, and all the memories David wants to reminiscence about with his friend. It's about dealing with grief, and trying to move on. Musically it's Spoken Word Poetry, House, Art..."  [+]  Reply

"It's a nice album. It was actually a pleasant surprise, I expected an album full of "thrift shop", but it turned out to be something completely different. If Macklemore continues to improve, then I think he might stand a chance of standing the test of time in the music industry."  Reply
