Thing is, they still have a huge audience. It's just a totally different audience. Which I guess is what they were going for, it just kinda sucks to kinda...leave the fans that they built up over two extraordinary CDs nearly 100% filled with good songs and then something in a direction that hardcore fans really don't like. But either way, I know my cousin, for example, likes this CD the most, but he's never really liked Linkin Park. He said they get too hard and he hates rap. I mean, that's disgusting how they can just go to a fanbase that's always criticized them. Meh, they'll do alright, I just won't buy their stuff.
