LINKIN
PARK - Reanimation
While a bunch of Linkin
Park
fans were expectant of a new release after their DVD, in stead they got
this remix album. Some of the remixed material is by Linkin
Park
men Mike Shinoda and Chairman Hahn - other remixers include
Kutmasta Kurt, Alchemist, Backyard Bangers, Josh Abraham, The Humble
Brothers and featuring guests like Korn's
Jonathan Davis, Staind's
Aaron Lewis as well as Stephen Richards, Motion Man and
Phoenix Orion.
Each song does receive a different approach, some
getting more Yo'd-up, extra scratching, rapping, FX & some new lines.
All the Linkin
favourites are here, the tracks also being renamed in a broken sms way like
for instance ENTH E ND, P5HNG ME A*WY, PPR:KUT, BY_MYSLF and KRWLNG. With
a grand total of 20 tracks (including some specially created inbetweeners),
this is a fine companion piece to the Hybrid Theory album. Many
songs don't lose the passionate energy while a few get stripped down a
bit too much.
It is interesting to see which direction they will go after
their effective recipe of nu-metal and melodic nice vocals & rapping struck
a chord in a big way. Cool cover design and a very stylish enhanced segment
with weblinks, Linkin
Park
mailing list join-up plus the digitally flash, robotic warrior video for
PTS.OF.ATHRTY.
