PhantomKing5 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 It's hard to judge albums made by two entirely separate groups in a "head to head" type way. But if we're just voting for our personal favorites, then I'd hafto say The Rising Tied for sure. Not only is it a wide ranged and diverse hip-hop album, but it also features some of the greatest rappers I've ever heard. (Styles of Beyond and Lupe Fiasco, I'm looking at you guys) Not to say that Common and Sixx John aren't awesome on the album either, cuz they are as well. But for me, hearing SOB, Lupe, and the Cobra Holder all on one album, was pretty awesome to say the least But the lyrical/vocal content doesn't stop shining there. You've also got a few tracks with Kenna and Holly Brook. I think their specific songs help to reach out to certain people that wouldn't have otherwise looked into The Rising Tied. So any time you've got more than one genre/audience listening, that's just awesome. Another thing about the album I enjoyed was the overall artwork and visual theme of things. It helps give the album more character. (Kudos to Mike on that). Onto Out Of Ashes... I can't really judge this yet with a solid decision. But I can say this, I do enjoy atleast half the album. But I foresee myself not really listening to this album in its entirety as much as I did The Rising Tied. But like I said, still like a good amount of the tracks and I'm glad Chester decided to make them. I'll stfu, now that my 2cents are in the piggy bank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovechester_lp_0990 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 OOA, ftw!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiiesel Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Finally I listened to the whole Out of Ashes album. And I definately go with OoA. Fort Minor was great (the only Hip Hop based album I like and still listen to) but I prefer rock. I think that explains everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immortalsoul Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Just because of Julien-K i guess *g* Noo, I'm a huge Chester fan as well! Just not so much of a hip-hop fan, that's why Fort Minor surely loses against Dead By Sunrise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geki Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 The Rising Tied had 100% better mixing than Out Of Ashes did though. I fucking hate the mixing on OOA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synyster Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I'll go with The Rising Tied! It just fits me better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepol Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 The Rising Tied, for sure TBH, I thought I would like OOA a lot more than TRT (as I'm a lot more into rock than hip-hop), but now that the album is out, I have to admit that is the other way around. I only listen to OOA once in a while, but I remembered that when TRT was released, I was hearing it almost 24/7, non-stop. It's true that these 2 albuns have very different styles, and we can't really compare songs like Condemned or Walking In Circles with Remember The Name or Red To Black, but even so... TRT sounds more 'solid', I have this impression that Mike put a lot more thought into TRT than Chester put on OOA; TRT sounds more original and creative than OOA; and, to finish, TRT's lyrics are way better (I'm not saying that OA's lyrics are bad, but when compared with TRT's...).

spraypaintninkpens Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Is this a serious question? Fort Minor by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePretender Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I voted The Rising Tied. The production was crazy, the lyrics as well. The record is more personal to me. Do you guys realize how Mike made rock fans listen to underground hip hop? That makes him a genius! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkViper30000 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 what a close competition D=... well anyway both cds are that great ... do you imagine mash ups between DBS and FM? =OOOOOOO As said, Linkin Park is made up of both Dead by Sunrise and Fort Minor. So I'll be choosing.... errr... lemme think... okay.... Out of Ashes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomer Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Out of ashes, hands down. Even though the rising tied was a masterpiece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DXIC Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Fort Minor!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftshoe18 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) TRT for sure i really just don't like out of ashes that much. WIC is a great song though. do you imagine mash ups between DBS and FM? =OOOOOOO i did that http://lplive.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=2458 never got a comment though lol Edited January 31, 2010 by leftshoe18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sucre06 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Tough choice but I still voted for the album Out of Ashes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheProfessor Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 The people saying putting Dead By Sunrise with Fort Minor would result in Linkin Park are just short sighted. But anyway... The Rising Tied by far. I was so much more excited for it, and I was playing it non stop for a very long time. The whole Fort Minor thing made me as excited as a new LP album would. I still listen to Fort Minor regularly. I enjoyed Out of Ashes, Let Down is one of my favorite songs of all time, but the version on OOA sucks. I found myself listening to only a couple songs by them a few months after release, and besides the odd song here or there, I barely listen to Out of Ashes anymore. As others have mentioned, the miing on this album sucks compared to The Rising Tied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
