Brand New Album Review: Arrived quickly - There's one or two good songs on here but they rest aren't really good, doesn't compare to all the old albums. Good seller though and arrived quickly Review: Mike Shinoda - we salute you! Linkin Park are back!! - 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.

Great Comeback from a Nu-Metal Pioneer
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.

Superb comeback from the kings of nu-metal
Having listened to LP since the Hybrid Theory days, I was thrilled to hear they were back after Chester’s tragic passing. Listening to each of 4 singles (Emptiness Machine, Heavy is the Crown, Over Each Other, Two Faced) before the album released, I knew the album was going to live up to the hype. The released songs really showcase the newer lineup but never take away from what was there before in their music. The songs each inhibit their own style and draw on all genres of LP and what make this band so great. While Chester can never be replaced, Emily more than takes up the co lead singer role while paying respect to Chester. Shinoda is superb as always along with rest of the band signature sounds (new drummer Colin fills in well for Rob). I’ve listened many times all the way through the album with Cut the Bridge, Overflow, Stained particularly all favourites with pure rock and electronic experimental side of the band. Casualty and IGYEIH are the heavy songs which throw back to Chester’s irreplaceable vocals. Album closer Good Things Go is a great end. Highly recommend and welcome back to one of the best bands.

Linkin Park New Album
Great album, I know Linkin Park will never be the same without Chester but the band do try to keep his spirit alive on this album its now just down to "so called" fans needing to be more open to someone else being the lead singer for the band if they are true fans like they say they are. I think the album is great it's not nor will ever be Hybrid or Meteora but for the new generation of the band it's really good if people just listen to it like they would if its a new band that sounds like Linkin Park and not LP themselves. I got both versions with different artwork this one will stay sealed and will hopefully gain some value over the years but we shall see.

What a relief
I don't know about you but I often like bands work less and less as time goes on and they drift further from what made me like them to begin with, and a new lineup is also a potential death stroke as a fan. This album feels like a band with renewed energy and musical passion. Not to say the passion wasn't there before but later stuff didn't click with me. This is a heavy album and I love it, every track is strong and most could have been a single. Emily has brought a different set of experiences to the music and her fantastic voice is a great fit while allowing some new ideas and harmonies with Mr Shinoda. I'm sure she's also capable of doing Chester proud when they inevitably play the back catalogue at concerts. I did think, "why carry on the Linkin Park name rather than start a new band?", but as others have said it's a band and not all about one person. We miss Chester (RIP😣) but I've not been this excited about a band in a long time and can't wait for the next album already.

La calificación va por el producto. Estoy muy contento con la música pero no es nada fuera de lo ordinario. Es Linkin Park, la calidad sigue ahí pero no es un álbum osado o más ambicioso. El vinyl es muy bonito y la presentación impecable. El producto llegó en perfecto estado.

Tja, nun sitze ich hier und schreibe eine Bewertung. Das mache ich eigentlich so gut wie nie, ABER jetzt muss es einfach sein. Ich bin Linkin Park Fan von Anfang an. Wie für viele Fans auch, sind die Alben Hybrid Theory und Meteora für mich, die Besten Alben der Band. Auf diesen Alben ist vom ersten bis zum letzten Song, alles ein Genuss. Es rockt und fetzt. Hier zeigt die Band ganz klar, was sie drauf hat und wie voluminös ihre Songs klingen. Man erkennt Linkin Park immer von der ersten Sekunde, vom ersten Ton an. Die Alben danach, waren mir oft zu Pop lastig, hatten aber auch ihre Ohrwürmer und Hits. Chesters Stimme ist in jeder Tonlage ein absoluter Ohrenschmaus. Wir haben Partys gefeiert und zu den Liedern gerockt, alle haben mitgesungen. Beim ersten Ton eines Linkin Park Liedes, wusste jeder Bescheid und die Tanzfläche füllte sich. Das ging über Jahrzehnte so. Egal ob auf Partys, im Auto oder einfach mal laut Zuhause aufdrehen, die Band hat es immer wieder geschafft, mich mit ihrer Musik mal kurz den Alltag vergessen zu lassen. Ihre Musik begleitet mich jetzt schon ewig. Dann plötzlich die schlimme Tragödie mit Chester. Irgendwie brach eine Welt zusammen. Der erste Gedanke ging erstmal Richtung Chester, schlimm wenn es einem Menschen so schlecht geht, einen über so lange Zeit, heftige Depressionen quälen und man irgendwann keinen Ausweg mehr sieht. Chester wird für immer in meinem Herzen sein, er hat mich so lange mit seiner Stimme durch mein Leben begleitet und so viele unvergessliche Momente geschaffen. Und genau da fängt es an, um From Zero zu gehen. Für mich war es klar, niemand auf dieser Welt, wird jemals Chester als Person und schon gar nicht seine gefühlvolle Stimme ersetzen können. Und genau das weiß auch Mike und die Band. Es wird überhaupt erst gar nicht versucht ihn zu ersetzen, denn das ist unmöglich und auch ein absolutes No-Go. Hier wird ganz klar und deutlich gezeigt, dass mit Emily als neuer Frontfrau, ein Neustart beginnt. Hier wird ganz klar gezeigt, dass man nicht die Lieder mit Chester, mit Emily nochmal durchkaut. Es werden mit Absicht in der letzten und sehr kurzen Zeit, viele neue Lieder vom neuen Album veröffentlicht, damit es beim Konzert genug Lieder gibt, die auf und mit Emily zugeschnitten sind. Auch Linkin Park weiß, dass Emily nicht die Lieder mit Chester ersetzen kann. Ich war erst skeptisch, ob mir das gefallen wird, ein Neustart. Aber was soll ich sagen, vom ersten Ton an, hört man sofort das es Linkin Park ist. Die Songs klingen wuchtig, voluminös. Nicht jeder Song auf From Zero ist so ganz meins, aber im allgemeinen ein gutes Album mit vielen Facetten und einigen Ohrwürmer und Hits. Man merkt klar und deutlich, dass sie versuchen, mit dem Album ihre Fans oder jedem Fan was zu bieten. Es ist von wuchtig, rockig bis ruhig alles dabei. Ich werde die alten Alben weiterhin feiern und hören, aber auch die neuen Lieder und Alben, denn trotz Neustart mit Emily, klingt es immernoch nach Linkin Park und das finde ich super. Das bekommt nicht jede Band hin. Das zeigt nur wieder, dass Mike genau weiß, was er macht. Klasse, weiter so, auf die nächsten 24, fast 25 Jahre.
