Music reviews of Rising Tied (W/Dvd)
Music Review: everything i expected (and hoped for) and more
Rating: 5 Stars
-i hope you take the time to read all this-
i've been inot mike's rap since i first heard linkin park, and this album really did it for me. the total effect lives up to the artist name, with moods ranging from frantic to tragic to matter-of-fact. this is one of those albums that you dont skip any tracks on, and that you can listen to over and over again without getting bored. the tracks are catchy at first glance, but further in you see the depth of the music, and the lyrics convey messages ranging from subtle to blatent, all portrayed cleverly with tons of emotion. when mike writes a verse, it feels like he's telling a story - and oh yeah, it rhymes too. the messages arent based around the rhymes, its the other way around. this gives the album an amazingly clean and understandable feeling - it just feels right. i also respect mike intensly for making this album totally organic - nearly every instrument was played by mike and actually recorded specifically for the song - not taken off a keyboard, like in much hip hop. even though i'm new at song reviewing, here are my thoughts on each of the songs (except the intro):
2 remember the name (feat. styles of beyond) - a nice debut for the album, this combines a catchy strings tune with a nice third person theme
3 right now (feat. black thought & styles of beyond) - this cross section of everyday life actually makes you stop and think about what everyone else, the people that you never notice, are thinking about as they go about their everyday life
4 petrified - a great heavy beat makes this song perfect for dancing
5 feel like home (feat. styles of beyond) - something about this song just feels clean. i cant put my finger on it, but the song really flows smoothly
6 where'd you go (feat. holly brook & jonah matranga) - this song made mike's wife cry when she heard it. that about sums it up. it manages to convey sadness and anger alternately but smoothly, and contains some specifics but leaves the situation open for interpretation
7 in stereo - this song hearkens back to the days when mike would make tons of beats and the ones that were good enough, that "passed the cut" so to speak got to be tested out in the car
8 back home (feat. common & styles of beyond) - probably my least favorite song on the album. still, its a good song, just not necessarily standout in my mind, although it is growing on me
9 cigarettes - this song provides an interesting view on the world of hip hop. the slow moving beat really holds your intrest
10 believe me (feat. bobo & styles of beyond) - some nice strings back an overall great song that seems so good it could be made to be a single
11 get me gone - possibly my favorite song on the album, i only have one quibble with this song - its too short. other than that, the song amazes me. his tone through the song is so familiar to me
12 high road (feat. john legend) - a nice chorus by john legend really compliments this middle finger up to the critics song
13 kenji - this is a really powerful song about mike's family who was locked up in an enternment camp in WWII for being japanese. it really conveys thier emotions at the time and mike's now well
14 red to black (feat. kenna, jonah matranga, & styles of beyond) - this song gets you feeling the emotion, not just listening to it
15 the battle (feat. celph titled) - a short interlude, this freestyle (i assume) links red to black with slip out the back extrodinarily
16 slip out the back (feat. mr hahn) - im sure we've all felt this way every once in a while. it makes you wonder if slipping out the back is bad or good
[17 & 18 are short blank tracks]
19 be somebody (feat. lupe fiasco, holly brook, & tak of styles of beyond) - this song has really grown on me. not a standout, but a nice song
20 there they go (feat. sixx john) - another that has grown on me (all that have done this i had liked in the beginning, i just love now). it really gets you in the mood of franticity
21 the hard way (feat. kenna) - not a standout, but a nice closing
Description of Rising Tied (W/Dvd)
Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda steps out for a wall-to-wall hip-hop project on which he faces his critics ("High Road"), gets autobiographical ("Remember the Name"), shares family history ("Kenji") and emerges as a hip-hop reformist ("Cigarette"). Standing shoulder to shoulder with, among others, John Legend, members of the Roots, and Styles of Beyond, The Rising Tied shines brightest in its earliest moments, where the beats and rhymes feel and sound freshest and where the positive message feels most sincere. This limited edition includes two documentary footage that follows the album's evolution, and Shinoda during the making of the video for "Petrified," all of which ultimately provides fans with interesting insights into the album and the artist himself. -?Jedd BeaudoinHard Rock & Metal CDs
