(10/10)
Dear Reader,
This is the greatest CD ever. To be the most helpful, I will enlighten you on the pros and cons of each track and lyric sample. Thanks for your time

1. Foreward-, PRO: pretty cool, reminds me of spray paint for some reason, blends very nicely to the next song.
Con- No lyrics

2. Don't stay-
PRO: great song, especially if someone is really annoying you (cough(parent)cough)ahem
Sample lyrics: Don't stay, forget our memories, forget our possibilities, what you were changing me into [just give me myself back and] don't stay
CON- can't really think of
any, except that Mike Shinoda isn't in it. but Chester has a rich voice anyway. Moving on.

3. Somewhere I belong
PRO- Well, I don't know about you, but I love how chester and mike (in case ya didn't know mike is the rapper and chester is the nonrapper) switch every other line. Very nice effect indeed. Probably the most positive song they've ever made. It actually leads to some answers.
Sample lyrics: I want to heal I want to feel /What I thought was never real I want to let go of the pain I've held so long [Erase all the pain 'til it's gone] I want to heal/ I want to feel/ Like I'm close to something real /I want to find something i've wanted all along /Somewhere I belong

Cons: Get's kinda overplayed on the radio. Still a great song

4. Lying from You
PRO- very well flowing song (hope that made sense) too me, it's about an authority figure trying to control you and you deciding if you should conform.
Lyric Sample-no / no turning back now]/i wanna be pushed aside /so let me go/[no / no turning back now]/let me take back my life /i'd rather be all alone/[no turning back now]/anywhere on my own/cause i can see/[no / no turning back now]/the very worst part of you /is me

CON- get's kind of repitive, needs more Mike Shinoda

5. Hit the floor
PRO- amazing song, about someone who lies and deceieves but is in the position of authority. Mike sounds even greater than usual (is that even possible) Oh yea, I love the chorus and how Chester yells a line, and then Mike raps a line. Good work. Great rhyming in the chorus/
Sample lyrics: one minute you're on top/the next you're not/watch it drop/making your heart stop/just before you hit the floor/one minute you're on top/the next you're not /missed your shot/making your heart stop/you think you won

CON: a bit harsh, and unless your ears are finely attuned to Chester's great voice, you might find it hard to know what he's saying in the lyrics.

6. Easier to run
Pro: 3 words, great job chester. Actually, let's elaborate on that, while Mike begins his rap (if i could change i would
take back the pain i would/retrace every wrong move that i made i would /if i could/stand up and take the blame i would//if i could take all the shame to the grave i would), Chesters non screaming voice is greatly played while MIke is rapping. sorry, it's hard to explain, listen to the sample, ya'll know what I mean.
Sample lyric: look above, genius
Con: NONE

Sorry guys, I have to go know, but get the CD, I'll review the rest later, i'm tired. Hope I helped
