I dig Linkin Park. Call it the appeal to the universal themes in their music... I just plain love them. They put on one HELL of a live show, and if you listen to more than just what's on the radio, you'll find a lot of depth. I've always been a sucker for folks that have intelligent lyrics and put a lot into their music... and LP truly does that.
That being said - I never did like Jay-Z. Still don't really care for him. But the stuff I've heard off the remix album is fucking AMAZING. They did an excellent job incorporating the lyrics into the existing songs and smoothing them out... a few of them actually sound like they were made for each other. If you get a chance, check out 99 Problems / Points of Authority & One Step Closer... wow. Damn tight.
The album comes out Nov. 30.
