Yes, quite. In other words, it’s basically another great Rick Rubin record, and Linkin Park happened to be involved. Take him out of the equation and I’m sure they’d revert to pish. Even his Jay-Z record was good.

They did cancel a tour a while back because he was very ill. Can’t remember any details though, and can’t be arsed googling :)

Ok, nevermind. I tried finding the article but I just can’t remember where I saw it. Might have been a death threat or something, though I am not quite sure how that works out.

Hadn’t heard anything about cancer, no, but then I’m not down with the kids these days…

” Producer Rick Rubin agrees about Linkin Park, “They really are reinventing themselves, it doesn’t sound like rap-rock. There’s very strong songwriting. It’s very melodic…a progressive record.” ”

This has been in our (irc.whahay.net) #music IRC channel for a while now, not sure why. Maybe it’s because we are mostly prog heads.

I’ve been tempted to just listen to one of the songs on the radio or something but I just can’t bring myself to it :(

Doesn’t the lead vocalist have cancer or something?
