    The only problem I have with this article is that ARTISTdirect is behind it. This tends to be a problem when most of their reviews are 5/5 stars, and they seem to love just about everything.

    Something tells me that this album is going to get really positive reviews from even other critics.

    I like this more for the song descriptions than as a review. It just seems way too damn saccharin. I am beyond excited for this CD and still am after reading this, but... I don't know. Just needs to cut back on the platitudes a bit I think.

    It would be good if some of these articles gave song descriptions about Burn It Down instead of glazing over it because it's already been released. At least that way we could compare the accuracy of the description of that song to the descriptions of the ones we haven't heard

    But ARTIST Direct did a review of Burn It Down

    http://www.artistdirect.com/enterta...it-down-song-review-5-out-of-5-stars/10036955

    Which was maybe too positive (5/5? Really?), but 70% accurate at the same time I'd say: dancy beat, psychedelic keyboard sound, electronics...Those elements were in the song.

    Sounds Fucking Amazing! I'm easily more excited for this than I was for my birthday I recently celebrated and by far! I'm honestly looking forward to the ballad probably the most (I believe it was "IN MY REMAINS"). Linkin Park hasn't done to many ballads, but I wouldn't even mind if they did a few ballads on this album. My December was incredibly beautiful, and the last few notes of the Live Version (Road2Rev) of "Pushing me Away" which is ballad like, gives me shivers everytime. That being said I wouldn't really want every song to be a ballad and "LIES GREED MISERY" would be my second most anticipated song on this album because of it's high praise from the other people who reviewed this album.

    THIS.

    Holy shit, how much money has Warner given to Rick Florino? This guy jizzes over everything the band has done apparently. Burn It Down is a timeless anthem? really?

    That was almost an embarrassing read. I'm still excited for the album but damn.

    So Mike sings "Like an army falling one by one" and does not rap it, correct?

    I'd hazard to guess that getting early access to the album probably makes a lot of these writers less objective.

    Haha completely agree with the part about BID being a timeless anthem. That was a bit excessive. But just the description of the rest of the album (lavish praise aside) sounds really good

    Yeah as soon as I read that line about Burn It Down being a "timeless anthem" I rolled my eyes and didn't care to read the rest of it.

    JIZZ IN MY PANTS ! :WTF:

    The inner fanboy within me is screaming for this album, oh my God, this sounds so amazing! Can't wait to listen to the album, getting to Victimized, I'll probably FREAK OUT when I hear that song. Classic rock? Seriously? Hard rock? Brutal? Screams? This, but also the amazing experimentation from A Thousand Suns in the mix. Seriously... MY GOD.

    Okay, the Burn It Down part made me feel like; okay, they're exaggerating. Though, this guy loves Linkin Park, and so do we all? So he's probably right anyway. They're not wrong about how the songs sound, that's for sure! Victimized will have an awesome scream and will be super heavy! Can't wait!

    Yes. But I just checked and HitFix said Chester sings it... I don't know who to trust.
