Title: Fort Minor has the best single on radio this year... how's the rest of the album
Post by: TraceOneInfinite on August 09, 2006, 06:26:16 AM
This is the single of the year so far...  this song is beautiful... the voice on the chorus is so beautiful it almost sounds like another musical instrument... and the beat is basic, but less is more sometimes, the beat is basic enough to give your mind space to wander and reflect... anyway, what does the rest of the album sound like.

Honestly, the album sounds like what it's supposed to be...a more hip-hop oriented version of Linkin Park (which I know you must hate because they're a white nu metal group and you hate everything white).

Good production and guests, but Shinoda himself is nothing close to being a stellar MC.  He is a Muslim, tho.

It's a great album. I kinda slept on it when it first came out but i've been listening to it alot lately. Shinodas raps are pretty basic but hes got some gems in Styles Of Beyond. The production is great too.

My favorite track on the album is "Feels Like Home".

All praise to Allah!  I had no idea he was a Muslim.  Where did you hear that?

Yeah, Shinoda is a great MC. I always enjoy to hear him on a track. I haven't heard the entire album (would love to if someone could hook it up *wink* *wink*), but what I did hear had that rock edge to it similar to Linkin Park. Which is cool with me, I'm always open to hear something different or a mix of hip-hop with other genres. Their first single before Where'd You Go" was pretty nice too.

Thanks. +1 in advance.

I'm not a big fan of the sound of the song, but the message behind it is what makes the song great to me.

Right Now feat Black Thought and Styles of Beyond is a great track to as is Kenji. I would upload this album myself but my secondary drive is either inaccessible or corrupted or so it keeps telling me. I love where'd you go also

All praise to Allah!  I had no idea he was a Muslim.  Where did you hear that? 

I was just kidding.  I wanted to see if you'd react the same way you reacted when you found out Lupe Fiasco was Muslim.

Shinoda's skills are in beat making and production, not rapping.  The instrumental cd of the album they released I enjoy much better.  The first single was very good though, I agree.

Sikotic:  Where'd You Go is not their first single, you know the album has been out for like 6 months now right?   I was bumpin tis for awhile, and everyone i showed it to loved the song, especially females, so ui was wondering when Shinoda would realize he had a hit on his hands......

Anyway, Where'd you Go is a great song, my other favourites are Remember the Name(incredible beat), and RIght NOw, which to me is the best song on the album.  Great production, Black thought and Style of Beyond kill it, and Shinoda drops maybe his best verse on the album.  Kenjo is worth checking it out, its about Shinoda's Grandfather who was held in an internment camp during WW2; i used the song Kenji in class to help teach about this aspect of WW2............pretty dope album, Shinoda is a GREAT producer, and i NEVER have even checked out Linkin Park.   If ya'll want some more SHinoda production, check Lupe Fiasco's Never Lies/

Yeah I know, that's why I said:
Their first single before "Where'd You Go" was pretty nice too.

The first single was Remember The Name. Great song IMO, but nothing that would catch on commercially.

This just goes to show how shallow Infinite is.

He still hasn't answered to that.

Great album. Nothing incredible or ground breaking, but it's something I can vibe off of.
