It's the 26th....the album is officially out .

I like pretty much all of the songs, but the ones that I like the most are:
Lost In The Echo
In My Remains
I'll Be Gone
Castle Of Glass
Roads Untraveled
Skin To Bone
Powerless

The album is on sale at Amazon MP3 for $5 this week only FYI (I got mine via Warner Bros/Linkin Park website).

I just finished listening to all of it. About half way through I remembered why I stopped listening to them: Chester's voice. Sheesh it's even more grating than I remember. But all in all, My preference of Linkin Park albums is as follows:

1) Hybrid Theory
2) Meteora
2.5) Living Things
3) Minutes to Midnight
9999999999999) That-one-whose-title-had-something-to-do-with-sunlight. God it was awful.

I never bought any of their stuff. I hear enough of it at work that when I get home, I'm ready for something else....lol.

Well, every album is different....but maybe you should check it out from people at work .

@steinburger, yeah, I'm not a big fan of Chester's voice either. But I like Mike's rapping.

I'm the other way, I could do without the rapping but dig Chester's voice. I'm sure he can't do that forever.

Looks like best buy is the cheapest place to buy it in the states.

His voice is worse than finger nails along a chalkboard... It's just so... Forced. I dunno, it never grew on me.

Shinoda is pretty good, I've never gotten into Fort Minor, but his stuff with Styles of Beyond is really good. McD, check out Styles of Beyond's song Second to None, if you haven't yet. I workout to that frequently.

I finally got around to listening to this. It sounds like pop.

Pop makes me feel physically sick.

IMO this album is not pop music. You want to hear terrible pop music? Then listen to this .

But, that's just my opinion. I still think Meteora is their best album though.

Slightly off-topic, but speaking of new albums, I've got a lot to look forward to . A new Muse album in September, and a new Three Days Grace album in October .

Have to agree on the maroon 5 thing.

Hybrid Theory is #1 for me. Meteora #2.

This one didn't grab me immediately, have to see if it grows on me. I need lots of sledgehammer riffs and donkey punch choruses amongst the rest to placate me with these guys. But I'm a donkey.

So I tried listening to it again when I was driving after hearing the last bit of one of the songs on the radio. I must say, I've gotten even less interested in it. I didn't think it was possible. Linkin Park...
