And the entire community shall now base their opinions on one review.
Honestly, this album sounds fucking dope. Thank you for all the details on certain things, Ana.
However, I'm highly doubtful of two things.
1) Chester rapping. That's not being edgy and different, that's just stupid. My guess is that Chester's "rapping" is more chanting or just paced yelling (don't tell me that's basically what rap is), similar to Mike's "God bless us" parts on The Catalyst.
2) Auto tune. Calling BS on that. Linkin Park would never do that. Probably just weird vocal effects that they said they were experimenting with, again, similar to The Catalyst.
I'm making my judgement from listening to the album myself.
