Fort Minor is a group so damn sweet and addictive itвЂ™s agonising thinking about the possibility a new album will happen the same time Donald Trump stops being a xenophobic idiot. Linkin Park at this point feels more like a Frankenstein aimlessly searching for something that isnвЂ™t there - this could be accounted for their longevity, but itвЂ™s starting to show signs of wear.

Fort Minor is a project I wish got more time of day. So by default, some will see Mike ShinodaвЂ™s name tagged to the project and will have a misconception of what the album will sound like, and for those that do, I highly suggest leaving it at the door. Now, itвЂ™s fair to say Linkin Park, while their popularity is unprecedented, have always been looked down on by the metal elite as a gateway band to the genre the butt of jokes, and one that has seen the band ferociously changing their style of sound so much in proving otherwise. Mike obviously had a chip left on his shoulder from it all though, and after the release of the bandвЂ™s second album, Meteora, he set out to make his first solo release an experimental rap album that vented his frustrations from the early days of Linkin Park, as well as several other burning issues he had at the time including: things going on in his personal life, family affairs, being on the road, racism and a niggling awareness of the world around him. However, persistence was the key, and it was ultimately one of the reasons the band became so successful. But in the early days of the band, he was constantly fighting the tide his rap dynamic with ChesterвЂ™s singing didnвЂ™t go down well at first, and was told to just play the keyboard and keep quiet.

Sure, he is the primary song writer for the band, and these days definitely drives the ship. Out of all the members of Linkin Park, Mike Shinoda is the one that has probably had the most difficulty in proving his worth. Review Summary: You're on your own now, believe me.
