From Zero Album Review Thread

Germany isn't a real place who is rating albums out of 7

 

Weekly Update (possibly last one)

From Zero now stands at an aggregate of 72/100, out of 19 reviews (source: AOTY).

Aggregate Score

1. Hybrid Theory (79)
2. From Zero (72)
3. Meteora (69)
4. ATS (67)
5. Living Things / THP (58)
6. MTM (53)
7. OML (45)

Number of reviews

1. From Zero (19)
2. Living Things (18)
3. The Hunting Party (13)
4. One More Light (12)
5. Meteora / MTM / ATS (10)
6. Hybrid Theory (6)

At this point, unless late party-breaker reviews come in with strong negative scores, it is fair to assume FZ has had the best critical reception for an LP record in the last 20 years or so. Given LP history with critical reception, that's really a nice little bonus here

 

Allmusic usually lags behind by a few weeks, so I assume they'll be the last one. It probably won't tip the scales much but going up an extra point or two would be nice!

 

Update

2 reviews have been added and From Zero gained one point in aggregate (!), thanks to a nice 4,5/5 review from Spill Magazine (https://spillmagazine.com/spill-album-review-linkin-park-from-zero/#google_vignette)
