Here we have Meteora, Linkin Park's newest album released in 2003. To say it short and simple - it's the best. Though Hybrid Theory was great too, this one is better. You have every kind of song here! Even real Hip-Hop ("Nobody's Listening") and pop ("Breaking The Habit"). But most of them are traditional Nu-Metal.
Nearly all of the songs really rock (except "Nobody's Listening", hehe). I really love Chester's rage attacks e.g. in "hit The Floor" (like heard in "By Myself" from Hybrid Theory). Chester bawls and Mike raps - ah yes this is really Linkin Park. So this album is very commendable. Some people may not like it because it's too hard/sometimes aggressive, but i said the same in my Hybrid-Theory-review. So if you like LP's style or generally Nu-Metal, buy this. It appreciates every time you listen to it.
Some of the songs of "Collision Course" were taken from Meteora.
Ah yes and the album contains an instrumental song without any singing, like "Cure For The Itch". I don't really like it, but it's ok. So.. i have to say it again... buy this great album! :)

Well, i must say that i really hate Hip-Hop. I hate those aggressive, drug addicted, sick rapping rednecks. I don't like their stupid brutal lyrics. But Linkin Park and their rock music rules. So why this CD?
It mixes up one LP song and one Jay-Z song, for example Izzo/In The End or Numb/Encore. The most popular song of it is Numb/Encore. No wonder, Numb is pretty cool and fans of Hip-Hop (if there are any) seem to love Encore.
Most of the songs are build in the same scheme: A LP song, without chester's singing but with Jay's rap. I must say that Mike's a much better rapper that Jay-Z.
One song has really huge innovations: Two LP songs and only one Jay-Z song are mixed up! It's called Points Of Authority/99 Problems/One Step Closer and - surprise! - these songs are mixed. Well, they play Points Of Authority and when it's over, they start with One Step Closer. Originally.
And one thing is really bad - there are only six songs!
So you buy six songs for an usual price!
So if you like hip-hop - buy this. If not, don't. It's definitely not worth the money.

Now here we have "Die Toten Hosen - Unsterblich", a newer album by the german Punk band. It contains some real timeless songs like "Steh auf wenn du am Boden bist" or "Kein Alkohol (ist auch keine Lösung). The most songs are very "hosen-like" and hard, but there are some calm and even a cheerless one ("Nur zu Besuch"). I like this CD because it's really Punk and i like modern punk ;)
There is really one song i hate: "Schwimmen". No punk, no rock, but some trumpets etc - this one is boring. Well, people who like calmer songs will probably like it.
Now. You'd buy the CD if you like Punk music or if you just want some nice songs with german lyrics.

Now. Here we have Hybrid Theory, Linkin Park's first CD. Chester raps and Mike sings, they both do it very well. There are some really timeless songs on it (for example "One Step closer", i think everyone likes it), some songs are nearly like Hip-Hop ("A Place For My Head") other ones are Hard Rock ("By Myself") and there's a third kind of song, the calm ones ("In The End", "Runaway").
The songs are build similar, the text is rapped and the chorus is chanted, but i love 'em all. Most of the songs are aggressive, so not everybody will like it, but i love it. Did i say it already? :)
