No it's okay you have your own opinion, i respect that.
I think what you're missing is either the experience or the ability to put yourself in someone's situation. Also you don't seem to understand the line "I wanna cut through my skin", because it doesn't mean "I wanna hurt myself because of the pain i'm feeling" or something but in this context it means more like "I want to open myself up to you". As for "Sometimes I feel like I wanna die", it possibly means "I wanna put an end to this, tried everything else but now I don't know any other way then to put end to my life" which sounds less silly to me than just "i wanna kill myself".
But it's not the Band's fault you (and Jody Rosen too) interpret it wrong. I don't wanna say you're dumb or something in that way but i want to back up your statement:Your opinion bases on a different point of view and that's why I (and anyone else) can say, that you're right or wrong.
There's one thing about Jody's review that makes me take it not so serious: Dead by Sunrise shouldn't have to do anything with Linkin Park except it's the same singer - so why even compare them? If he wanted to sound these songs like Linkin Park's, he would have recorded it with them. But he tried something new and that is how we should look at it. For me, it doesn't like sound like LP / M2M at all.
