One of the most common risks that a young band, fresh off an electrifying debut capable of making everyone shout "miracle," can encounter is the possibility of a spectacular failure upon returning to the scene with a new album. The responsibility is too great, the fan anticipation too high, the critics' attention too intense, poised to pounce and highlight even the smallest dip in quality, but above all, the fear of not being able to perform the miracle again is overwhelming. At this point, it's mathematically clear that two things make the difference: determination and intelligence. Let's dispel any doubts immediately: Linkin Park are six young men as determined as they are intelligent.
Thus, the miracle happens a second time: "Reanimation" not only echoes everything positive that was done with the amazing debut album, but thanks to the acquired artistic maturity of the six musicians, it is enriched with nuances, echoes, and suggestions that were lacking in the otherwise excellent "Hybrid Theory".
Linkin Park wisely took two long years, studied what worked and what didn't, played live, learned a lot, and when they were 100% convinced they could truly surpass themselves, they entered the studio. The result is palpable: an extremely rational work in its irrationality, precise as a Swiss watch despite the band's sound being inevitably destined to disorient the listener, with its overlapping of punk, metal, hardcore, hip hop, tribal music, and the very best death music, always harmoniously fused even in a context where anyone would have considered it out of place.
A crazy, deviant, sick work, but damn intelligent. Just like Linkin Park.

Yo, yo
Forfeit the game, before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame, puts your name to shame
Cover up your face, you can't run the race
The pace is too fast, you just won't last
You love the way I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
You take away if I give in
My life, my pride is broken
You like to think you're never wrong
You want to act like you're someone
You want someone to hurt like you
You want to share what you've been through
(You live what you've learned)
You love the things I say I'll do
The way I'll hurt myself again just to get back at you
You take away when I give in
My life, my pride is broken
You like to think you're never wrong
You want to act like you're someone
You want someone to hurt like you
You want to share what you've been through
(You live what you've learned)
Yo, yo
Forfeit the game, before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame, puts your name to shame
Cover up your face, you can't run the race
The pace is too fast, you just won't last
Forfeit the game, before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame, puts your name to shame
Cover up your face, you can't run the race
The pace is too fast, you just won't last
You like to think you're never wrong
You want to act like you're someone
You want someone to hurt like you
You want to share what you've been through
You like to think you're never wrong
You want to act like you're someone
You want someone to hurt like you
You want to share what you've been through
(You live what you've learned)

Hey, Mike, what’s up?
This is Ron, Riff Raff, just asking you what’s happening?
I was just touching base, seeing how your Easter went
Um, just seeing if you’re going to see Joe sometime soon, too,
Because he’s got my keyboard that I’ve been trying to get back
I’ve been trying to call him and he hasn’t been returning any messages
So I’m seeing what the best angle is to, you know, get it back
11 Wth>You (Chairman Hahn feat. Aceyalone) (04:11)
Come on!
I woke up in a dream today
To the cold of the static
And put my cold feet on the floor
Forgot all about yesterday
Remembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not anymore
A little taste of hypocrisy
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake
Slow to react
Even though you're so close to me
You're still so distant, and I can't bring you back
It's true, the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me
I'm with you
(You, now I see, keeping everything inside)
With you
(You, now I see, even when I close my eyes)
With you
(You, now I see, keeping everything inside)
With you
(You, now I see, even when I close my eyes)
With you
Ughhhh!
I hit you and you hit me back
And we fall to the floor
The rest of the day stands still
Fine line between this and that
But when things go wrong, I pretend the past isn't real
Now I'm trapped in this memory
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake
Slow to react
Even though you're close to me
You're still so distant, and I can't bring you back
It's true, the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me
I'm with you
(You, now I see, keeping everything inside)
With you
(You, now I see, even when I close my eyes)
With you
(You, now I see, keeping everything inside)
With you
(You, now I see, even when I close my eyes)
Ughhhh!
(No)
I won't let you control my fate while i'm holding the weight of
the world on my concience
(No)
I won't just sit here and wait while you weighin your options
You're makin a fool of me
(No)
You didnt dare to try and say you dont care
And solemnly swear not to follow me there
(No)
It aint like me to beg on my knees
Or, please oh baby please
Thats not how i'm doin things
(No)
No i'm not upset, no i'm not angry
I know love is love and love sometimes, it pains me
(No)
With or without you, I'll always be with you
You'll never forget me, i'm keeping you with me
(No)
I won't let you take me to the end of my rope
While you burn it and torture my soul
(No)
No I'm not your puppet
And no, no, no, I won't let you go
No, no matter how far we've come
I can't wait to see tomorrow
No matter how far we've come
I, I can't wait to see tomorrow
With you
(You, now I see, keeping everything inside)
With you
(You, now I see, even when I close my eyes)
With you
(You, now I see, keeping everything inside)
With you
(You, now I see, even when I close my eyes)
Ughhhhh!

A remix CD always starts a bit at a disadvantage because it lacks originality.
The game starts to get interesting, the soundtrack follows the flashes of neon lights, explosions, and laser beams.
By durasno7
"Reanimation is, in my opinion, the best remix album ever released."
"Turn up the volume to the max while listening to the remixes of 'Pushing Me Away' or the sublime, incredible, long 'One Step Closer,' a true masterpiece."
