(8/10)
Reanimation, the remix album.

I've seen a few reviews complaining that these are the same songs as on Hybrid Theory.

No DUH. Read the title of the CD, what does it say? RE ANIMATION.

It's a remix album. If you didn't want to hear the same songs, you shouldn't have bought it.

Now, the first time I listened to this CD I hated it. I liked maybe, one track, and that would be "Pts. Of Athrty," but then my friend started playing every time we would play Perfect Dark and it really grew on me.

Even though it's been reduced to a lot of hiphop the songs are remixed in an Electronica style, which is my favourite genre.

Pts. Of Athrty is good at first, but just like any song that gets a video, you hear it too many times and it gets old. It's still good though, just not the best. Infact I'm listening to it right now, imagine that.

The best songs on this CD are the remix of Forgotten, the remix of Papercut, the one of Pushing Me Away, the one of Hi Voltage and the one of Cure For The Itch.

Don't get me wrong, I probably could have named the whole CD, but those were the absolute best. Every track is excellent in it's own way, except for, in my opinion, the remix of In The End and the one for My December, sorry, I just couldn't stand those.

Other than those two you have an entire CD of really great remixes.

Now as for the comparison of Linkin Park with other bands, well, I can't say much on that issue. I hate Nu Metal, I think it's total crap, but something about Linkin Park is really grabbing, and the only real problem they've got at the moment is that every song they make sounds the same. Reanimation isn't really an actual album in the way you'd think of one, there are only a few new tracks, but anyway, none of the songs sound the same on it, which is one of the reasons I like it so much.

Anyway, having said that, the album gets 4 stars, if you want to try Linkin Park, get Hybrid Theory first, it's thier best album to date. Meteora is alright, but you should buy the CDs in order.
