Clever but not clever enough. The best remix is My December, that song sounds better than the original which is hard to achieve. Reanimation by Linkin Park is a remix album from the songs of Hybird Theory. Chester Bennington has some powerful chops, how does he not lose his voice every day? Points of Authority remix is pretty good and In the End but I wasn't all that impressed with all glossy riffs. Stick to Hybrid Theory instead.
Hybrid Theory Gets Gangsta?
I feel that their combination of nu-metal and rap works fairly well and has lead them to some great music. I am actually one of those people who enjoy Linkin Park's music. This, however, is a disgrace to anyone who enjoyed their music.
The CD consists of their Hybrid Theory CD remixed with a few other tracks. The remixes are mostly horrible and are very annoying. They basically just took Hybrid Theory and turned it into a badly made Rap album. The new tracks aren't good either and I'd honestly consider them some of the worst of the disk.
The few positives are that some of the songs like Crawling actually turned out very good. This CD lacks enough of these good songs to actually make this worth purchasing. Check out their new CD, Minutes to Midnight, if you want to hear real Linkin Park.
Another thing
But for those of you few WHINERS who whine about everything you don't like and won't buy a CD just because a couple songs aren't good, why don't you save your money, buy an iPod and download the songs off Limewire or iTunes or whatever you would download songs with. WHY IS EVERYONE SEEMING TO HATE THIS ALBUM! These Remixes are awsome!! Sure some of it isn't that great; Stef, Chali, Riff Raff, X-Ecutioner Style. So SHUT UP and downloads the songs you want and put them on your iPod and feel special about it.

AWSOME REMIXES
Pts . Opening - A good instrumental start for the album. of . Athrty - 8/10 Not much difference but a great remix!
Enth E Nd - 9/10 My third favorite on the album. Very rap-styled.
Chali - Just a phone call by Chali 2na to Mike Shinoda. Weird.
Frgt/10 - 7/10 First one I ever heard. Very rap-styled, too.
P5hng Me A*wy - 8/10 This is soft rock. But it's still good.
Plc. 4 Mie Haed - 9/10 Rap-styled.
X-Ecutioner Style - 5/10 Contains profanity. And it's kinda dumb.
H! Vltg3 - 10/10 Second favorite on this album. Everything is rapping.
Riff Raff - Another one of those phone calls.
Wth>You - 6/10 Second I heard. I don't like it too much.
Ntr/Mssion - Kinda like the Opening. 29 sec. instrumental piece.
PPr:Kut - 9/10 Fourth favorite on the album Rapping.
Rnw@y - 7/10 I dunno. Not that good.
MyStef - 10 sec. phone call.
By_Myslf - 10/10 ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!!! Not much difference though.
Kyur4 Th Ich - 2/10 Makes no sense at all.
1stp Klosr - 6/10 This one is SO BORING. Takes to 1:53 into the song for the actual singing.
Krwlng - 6/10 Same as 1stp Klosr. SO BORING.

Amazing Surround Mix
It will take you somewhere else. This is one of those DVD's that you put in your DVD player, crank the sound, then sit down and close your eyes. Chills will run down your spine, and you'll wonder how you ever listened to music in stereo. The stand out tracks are Krwlng, 1Stp Klosr, My{Dsmbr, and P5hng Me A*wy.
If you have a surround system, are fan of Linkin Park, and want to hear something that you won;t forget. Buy this DVD-Audio disc.
