Is this album worth checking out? I still haven't heard it and I was a huge fan of their work with Mike Shinoda.
Shinoda appears on a couple of tracks with production credits, he raps on "Second To None" and he does the chorus on one of the bonus tracks, " Hey You". Outside of his contributions, yeah, the rest of the album is alright as well.
There's definitely some filler on it (especially if you listen to the 2-disc version that has a whopping 37 tracks!), but it's still pretty solid. Imagine a slightly more comical Fort Minor record without Mike rapping on it (as little sense as that makes at first, just try to picture it), and you're not far off. Production is great on just about every track.
I listened to the album version which excludes Razor Tag. Exactly how Astat described it. Pirate Song was amazing.
