Linkin Park

Collision Course (with Jay-Z)

Different...but predictable for Linkin Park..

Review Score:

(8/10)
I am an Extreme Hardcore Fan of Linkin Park, I have been one of their fans since 1998, back when they were underground as "Hybrid Theory". I have every one of their CD's and I am proud of it, i love every CD...I rate Hybrid Theory 5/5, I rate Hybrid Theory EP 4/5, I rate Reanimation 4/5, I rate Metera 5/5, I rate Live In Texas 3-4/5, and I rate Collision Course 4/5...why not 5/5? because #1 it only has 6 tracks, I don't really care for rap that much unless if it's Mike Shinoda or Limp Bizkit, but Jay-Z was ok, he kept his beat...if you want me to rate sides on how Jay did and how LP did, then I will...Linkin Park on this album has done really well like they always have, but they seem to like to remix things alot, and don't get me wrong, i like remixes....some of the time, I liked Reanimation, lots of talent there...but I don't think that they should do remixes of every song that they create, and I have so many different versions of all of the songs that were on their Hybrid Theory CD that it's not funny, and it's getting old, i would like to hear new stuff rather then recycled stuff over and over again. All of their songs are great, but they remix too much. I rate LP 4/5 for their talent and overall score, now Jay-Z, I have had a Jay-Z CD in the past, I used to be hardcore Rap, then it got old fast, and it all started sounding the same...that's why i turned to Alternative rock...there's something always new in alternative rock. Jay-Z did ok on this CD, I am not jumping with excitement like I should be when I buy a new Linkin Park/Jay-Z CD...I'm not even going to touch on Jay-Z that much because I don't know his history, I personally don't care for his rap, and he can keep it...but overall he did ok...i rate Jay-Z 3/5. Sorry if i made anyone mad or angry by this review, I am a little bit dissapointed in both artists, but I will still listen to this CD because I am STILL a true Hardcore Linkin Park Fan!
