Good review, except for the fact that I don't consider "Metamorphosis" to be subpar, to which I give a 7, nor do I consider "LoveHateTragedy" their best album, as I think "Infest" and "Paramour Sessions" are superior. That said, the new tracks don’t seem that great to me, while live, I have to say, they kill it; I've seen them and can confirm. 3 punitive instead of 4 for the album, as I repeat, the new tracks don’t impress me much.

How do you feel about it?

Review with impact..

The fact remains that it is shameful that there are only 3 votes and a few comments on this record...

In fact, you shouldn't hold back in saying that this is an amazing live performance, this is Park when they were still alive, Bennington in "A Place For My Head" and "Faint" is powerful. I rate the live a 9.

Isis is right, you should reveal yourself. Anyway, I fully or almost agree with the review; they could have done more. Still, you’re a bit obsessed with Tremonti & company, 3 reviews of which 2 are about the Bridges and one (nice) about the Creed!

Okay, I can finally say that I’ve changed my mind. This album shouldn’t be compared to the past, to the early 2000s Linkin Park and so on; those Linkin Park are DEAD. This is a POP/ROCK cd, more POP than ROCK, with plenty of SYNTH and so on. However, I must correct myself on one point: “The mistake the company made is that this time the product won’t work! You can’t sell junk pretending it’s gold and silver if you don’t even polish and take care of it.” This is what I wrote a bit blinded by disappointment over this change at the time of writing the review, but I have to admit (a bit bitterly) that several of the tracks I negatively labeled are actually good-level pop pieces, and that the lyrics are a fundamental component of the album. As @SKELETRON told me a few days ago in chat, Bennington and Shinoda need to close the chapter on the past if they truly want to and continue their project. It remains a fact that my opinion isn’t a complete turnaround; there are still some tracks to throw away on this album, but overall it surpasses the minimum threshold, being a more sensible album than the previous "Minutes To Midnight."

I stayed with "Red Morning Light," and "Be Here Now" is, in my opinion, a 4/5 album, not a 2/5 like this one.

TOH!!! Every now and then I remember "You Are The One"!!! _

What an amazing review. I say this years later.
