that's probably why I was so disappointed with nearly everything that they made after "Meteora". That whole electro BS was a huge slap to the face for me.

I remember that too, what made them popular was that LP and PR had clarity and punctuation to their sound so you could actually hear the distinction between different chords and the chorus hit like a truck. I would happily go back and listen to those 2 albums simply because they were unique instead of blended and bland. Will give the new one a listen and hope to be pleasantly surprised
