It was with an air of caution and a hidden hopeful desire that I began listening to Linkin’s Park’s new album to review it. Hybrid Theory and Meteora had been amazing albums but then look what happened with Reanimation.

I had heard mixed opinions. Jenny had previously explained to me that it had one or two good tracks on at the start but overall pretty much sucked. Danny on the otherhand revealed he loved one of the songs so much that he actually had that one song on repeat on his car.

Overall, there is a mix similar to the mix of opinions I got. There are some great songs on there - I love Given Up and there are a few other jems on there such as Valentine’s Day. It’s differently a depature, if only a small one, from their typical sound. It’s more like Hawthorne Heights than classic Linkin Park. Luckily though, I happen to like Hawthorne Heights.

Britney Spears’ next album will apparently arrive in November. The so-far untitled album currently has a street date of November 12, except in the United States where it will not be released until the 13th.

Paramore are back with a new album - and it’s good. From the first track I remember why I like Paramore as the songs rapidly change from upbeat to downbeat and back again. It doesn’t sound quite as polished as the new albums from the long established acts but then it probably isn’t supposed to. All in all, it’s a kick ass album.
