Listened to some of it... guess I'm not really that into Linkin Park...

It's not as diverse as Hybrid Theory, but it's still a solid album. Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington had great chemistry here. And the band definitely nailed it with the singles ("Somewhere I Belong", "Faint", "Numb", and "Breaking the Habit"). Sadly, after this album, Linkin Park became a bit too experimental, and they kind of lost their identity in the process.

Cristo here. I have become a huge Linkin Park fan in the last 12 months or so. I had Mike Shinoda's album Cort Minor for a long time and enjoyed it a lot. Mind you I'm 67 and my musical taste runs more pop, rock, and even country. But something about Shinoda and Linkin Park struck a chord in me. I bought up Linkin Park's catalog on vinyl about 2 months before Chester's passing. Road To Revolution to me is an amazing live album. So much energy. It's difficult to explain how I am attracted to their sound/song-writing/musicality. Even when I was taken aback by their last One More Light after about 3 listens to the album I was enjoying it. Anyway, my opinion.
