1001 Albums Summary

Good production, very REM- sounding, not much variety in music

Quintessential and iconic hard rock album. Filled with bangers such as Papercut, Crawling, In The End and A Place For My Head. Good flow to the album and songs have enough variety to keep it engaging whilst also defining the “Linkin Park” sound. Mixing lacks some refinement and dynamic range however this does not take away enjoyment of listening to this album - perfect for when you want to feel like an angsty 2000’s high school student

Great mixing on this album with very clean use of layering, soundstage, imaging and dynamics. Very road-trip vibes. Tight drums, clean but driving bass and fun use of electric guitar. All instruments have space to breathe whilst maintaining a good flow. Fun listen however there are some slower/ more ambient sections which clash detract a little from the cohesion of the album
