TRACK BY TRACK REVIEW

1. Keys To The Kingdom - No Control, No Surprise!!! Starts with Chester's hysterical screams. Then starts the drums followed by Guitars. Shinoda's verses pulls out things back to Nu Metal. Followed by screams and then Shinoda starts the Rap Rock terrain. Heavy and awesome start to say the least!

2. All For Nothing (feat. Page Hamilton) - Starts with zzzz then drums and guitars take the role and Shinoda starts his Rap Terrain. Page Hamilton's on the Chorus followed by Chester's screams. Great Song!

3. Guilty All The Same (feat. Rakim) - Heavy starting with Guitars then the drums hit for More than a minute the they continues with drums and guitars. Chester starts his Vocals smoothly followed by scream. Then hit the Hip Hop artist Rakim with his Raps. Finishes with Chester's screams. You Guilty! Awesome one!

4. The Summoning – Instrumental! Just to get the adrenaline pumping for the next song!

5. War – 1 2 .. Drums hit along with Guitars. Chester’s scream takes this one to a Death Metal Terrain Along with insane Guitar play. Chester finishes it with his screams! Pretty Heavy!

6. Wastelands – Drums first up followed by Guitars, Shinoda takes it to rap rock terrain then Chester with his vocals and Screams! This carries on for about a min! Then Chester’s vocals along with Screams. Wow! Awesome!

7. Until It’s Gone – Aha! Hann! Starts with Numbish tone, Guitars and Drums! Chester take over the Vocals and Screamo!!! Dude! I’ve no words for this one, Great song. 10 on 10!

8. Rebellion ft. Daron Malakian – Guitars and Drums! Wow! Continus for about a minute. Shinoda takes over with his Vocals, Chester on Chorus! Imitations of Rebellion! Rebellion!

This carries on for another minute and Chester finally finishes it with his hysteric screams. Pretty Good!

10. Drawbar ft. Tom Morello – There's plenty on this instrumental. It's the only song on this return-to-rock record to feature guitar god Tom Morello. Some power chords in sight. Good one!

11. Final Masquerade – Synths and guitars take it to the hard rock chorus. Chester does his works perfectly. Awesome one.

12. A line in the sand – Shinoda starts in a slow mode, Then the drums hit followed by guitars taking it to a hard rock terrain, Shinoda pulls his verses and bring it to nu-metal terrain followed by Chester’s screams. Shinoda takes this to a rap-rock terrain and Chester as usual with his Screams. Awesome song!
