Worth listening to if you like linkin park.

Great return album and beautiful semi-transparent blue vinyl- sounds great, looks great!

I have to say I’m an old school linkin park fan, I grow up listing to them. And to me linkin park is Chester.Do I rate this album, Yes absolutely, Probs my most played album at the moment. But is it Linkin Park. To me no it’s not how could it been. Do I love the new lead singer Yes. Do I wish they named the band some thing else. Absolutely. Would I of bought it if it was a different name. Maybe not, probably would have never heard it to be fair.So yes it’s great album. Is it Linkin Park. Show could it be with out Chester. Does it embody every thing I loved about Linkin. yes yes it does. Am I left confused- absolutely lolGreat songs, great press, very clean very crisp and I will be listing to it for along long time to come. Come to think of it, it’s going back on now !

As a fan of Linkin Park with Chester I was sceptical- but wow! What a great album. Don’t listen to some of the negativity- this is LinkinPark back to their best.

Amazing is all i have to say such good songs love it

Good album. Great new singer with a powerful voice. Looking forward to what they do next, kinda felt a bit too safe for me.

To provide some baseline context, I was a huge fan of Linkin Park when they burst onto the scene back in the early noughties with Hybrid Theory. I was a voracious consumer of their material, including seeing them live. Their latter material was a bit hit-and-miss and of course, their material ended abruptly with the untimely and tragic passing of Chester.So it was a welcome and exciting surprise to hear of their "comeback" album (somewhat under the radar for me) with a new female singer, in Emily Armstrong.So. . .what did I think of this album? In a word, excellent. I was nervous listening to it the first time given the raw power Chester brought to each song. Does Emily try and replace Chester? Yes and no. She can certainly scream, and she has that raw power, but there are differences. This is a hybrid - harmonious blending of the new and the old Linkin Park. It has elements of Hybrid Theory, Minutes to Midnight and the Hunting Party rolled into one tight, taught and trim album (total run time is a little over 30 minutes)Highlights for me are 'The Emptiness Machine,' 'Overflow' and 'Two Faced.'The only criticism I could level at this is that on Linkin Park albums passed, the last song tends to be a showstopper. . .slightly disappointed with the outgoing song on this album. But that is a minor criticism on what is otherwise a well-rounded and positively impactful return to form.

Would there be a Linkin Park after the devastatingly sad demise of Chester, is probably what every fan wondered. I had the privilege & joy to see Chester & Linkin Park live on 3rd July 2017, and Chester sadly passed a few weeks later on the 20th.So happy for 'the bliss of rock' to say that the show does go on - very well. I have seen the new line up live and they are fantastic. Mike Shinoda has preserved the soul of their music and the band delivers with a fantastic new line up. Emily Armstrong is great and does Chester absolute justice and can hit the notes (& more) effortlessly.Not all replacement singers can deliver with the same skill & passion (just look at Queen's pathetic post-Freddy choices) but the 'new' Linkin Park, and this their first album, are back in business. Those of us around when Hybrid Theory & Meteora came out will enjoy this album too.
