Odiati, amati, c'è chi li vorrebbe morti e chi li ama alla follia.

Questi sono i Linkin Park, band nata nel 1997 col nome di Xero, per poi cambiare con Hybrid Theory e infine Linkin Park. Dopo l'enorme successo del loro secondo cd omonimo, dopo lo straordinario EP di 5 anni fa e prima dell'uscita di "Meteora", loro 4° album, uscì "Reanimation", vero capolavoro nel genere remix-alternative metal.
"Reanimation" non solo vanta un'autoproduzione coi fiocchi da parte dell'mc mike shinoda, ma possiede anche decine di collaborazioni con i migliori artisti metal e non solo (Jonathan Davis, Stephan Carpenter, Aaron Lewis solo per citarne alcuni). Il tutto per un lavoro lungo, coinvolgente, forse non per tutti, ma che riesce a farsi notare nel calderone della musica alternativa come (secondo me) miglior album di remix mai pubblicato, al contrario di quello scempio di "New Old Songs" dei Limp Bizkit.

Se non siete ancora convinti, alzate il volume al massimo ascoltando i remix di "Pushing Me Away" o della sublime, incredibile, lunghissima "One Step Closer", vero capolavoro della band californiana, che sforna nonostante le critiche da parte di molti, il suo miglior lavoro mai pubblicato.
Provare per credere.

Yo, yo
Forfeit the game, before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame, puts your name to shame
Cover up your face, you can't run the race
The pace is too fast, you just won't last

You love the way I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
You take away if I give in
My life, my pride is broken

You like to think you're never wrong
You want to act like you're someone
You want someone to hurt like you
You want to share what you've been through
(You live what you've learned)

You love the things I say I'll do
The way I'll hurt myself again just to get back at you
You take away when I give in
My life, my pride is broken

You like to think you're never wrong
You want to act like you're someone
You want someone to hurt like you
You want to share what you've been through
(You live what you've learned)

Yo, yo
Forfeit the game, before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame, puts your name to shame
Cover up your face, you can't run the race
The pace is too fast, you just won't last

Forfeit the game, before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame, puts your name to shame
Cover up your face, you can't run the race
The pace is too fast, you just won't last

You like to think you're never wrong
You want to act like you're someone
You want someone to hurt like you
You want to share what you've been through

You like to think you're never wrong
You want to act like you're someone
You want someone to hurt like you
You want to share what you've been through
(You live what you've learned)

Hey, Mike, what’s up?
This is Ron, Riff Raff, just asking you what’s happening?
I was just touching base, seeing how your Easter went
Um, just seeing if you’re going to see Joe sometime soon, too,
Because he’s got my keyboard that I’ve been trying to get back
I’ve been trying to call him and he hasn’t been returning any messages
So I’m seeing what the best angle is to, you know, get it back

11   Wth>You (Chairman Hahn feat. Aceyalone) (04:11)

Come on!

I woke up in a dream today
To the cold of the static
And put my cold feet on the floor
Forgot all about yesterday
Remembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not anymore
A little taste of hypocrisy
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake
Slow to react
Even though you're so close to me
You're still so distant, and I can't bring you back

It's true, the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me
I'm with you
(You, now I see, keeping everything inside)
With you
(You, now I see, even when I close my eyes)
With you
(You, now I see, keeping everything inside)
With you
(You, now I see, even when I close my eyes)
With you
Ughhhh!

I hit you and you hit me back
And we fall to the floor
The rest of the day stands still
Fine line between this and that
But when things go wrong, I pretend the past isn't real
Now I'm trapped in this memory
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake
Slow to react
Even though you're close to me
You're still so distant, and I can't bring you back

It's true, the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me
I'm with you
(You, now I see, keeping everything inside)
With you
(You, now I see, even when I close my eyes)
With you
(You, now I see, keeping everything inside)
With you
(You, now I see, even when I close my eyes)
Ughhhh!

(No)
I won't let you control my fate while i'm holding the weight of
the world on my concience
(No)
I won't just sit here and wait while you weighin your options
You're makin a fool of me
(No)
You didnt dare to try and say you dont care
And solemnly swear not to follow me there
(No)
It aint like me to beg on my knees
Or, please oh baby please
Thats not how i'm doin things
(No)
No i'm not upset, no i'm not angry
I know love is love and love sometimes, it pains me
(No)
With or without you, I'll always be with you
You'll never forget me, i'm keeping you with me
(No)
I won't let you take me to the end of my rope
While you burn it and torture my soul
(No)
No I'm not your puppet
And no, no, no, I won't let you go

No, no matter how far we've come
I can't wait to see tomorrow
No matter how far we've come
I, I can't wait to see tomorrow

With you
(You, now I see, keeping everything inside)
With you
(You, now I see, even when I close my eyes)
With you
(You, now I see, keeping everything inside)
With you
(You, now I see, even when I close my eyes)
Ughhhhh!

Di  Rivo

 Un ciddì di remix parte sempre un po' svantaggiato perchè manca di originalità.

 La colonna sonora segue i bagliori delle luci al neon, delle esplosioni e dei raggi laser. Fa tremare le cupe pareti dello spazio virtuale dove ci troviamo.


Di  AR (Anonima Recensori)

 Reanimation non solo bissa tutto quello che, di positivo, era stato fatto con il fantastico album di debutto, ma è arricchito di sfumature, echi, suggestioni.

 Un lavoro folle, deviato, malato, ma maledettamente intelligente. Proprio come i Linkin Park.
