Maybe I just don’t know how to judge ambient music but I am seriously at a loss for words
I think that a lot of the people who are calling this album mediocre have just suppressed the memory of everything Linkin Park made after Meteora. This album is great and is the natural next step after One More Light. Had they been able to release another album with Chester, it probably would have sounded like this.
He's a bum for taking 12 hours to put it on Spotify but it's really good
I wish he kept up the high energy of the first few tracks, for an album called 'Hardstone Psycho', and with the rider/rockstar aesthetic that he's built up for it, much of the album feels uncharacteristically tame, but I can appreciate the rest of the tracklist for what it is.

The instrumentals for each track feel more calculated than those on AS1, but they keep the same hard hitting, unfiltered energy that made AS1 so incredible.
From the moment this album starts to the moment it finishes, not a single element lets up in terms ... read more
This feels like B-Sides of We Had Good Times Together, Don't Forget That. I mean that in a good way, on a technical level, most of the great things about that album are present here.

"The silence is there so that you can think about the masterpiece you just heard. Reflect on what it means to you. Or you can just skip it if its that much of an issue."
