Response

Although this album reached high in the charts, many people were disappointed in either Linkin Park for collaborating with a mainstream rap artist or for Jay-Z collaborating with a rock group. It is also pointless to most Linkin Park's hardcore fans! These two styles of music have many devout fans and despite their stubborn views on change has introduced many fans to new genres.
