Title list

Reception

The reviews were mixed. It is striking that many feel is reminiscent of the album The Path of Totality by Korn.

Laut.de notes, primarily, that " unlike the first remix album already in the original releases massive synth elements a [ flowed ], so this time dictate increasingly dubstep and other electrical influences the timing of the fifteen new interpretations ." Next, the author Uli Brechtold pulls the album The Path of Totality by Korn added as a comparison and criticized it both. In particular, he failed trap that too much urge the remixer in the foreground and not there to start with existing songs. However, he pointed out the remix of Victimized and Money Mark remix of Until It Breaks, and also praised the operations of Pusha T, Cody B. Ware and Ryu as creative. So he concludes that, although the interpretations are energetic and varied, but the use of synthesizers and electronic beats nerve after a short time.

Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic believes Linkin Park and EDM fit perfectly together. The combination of hard rock and EDM is nothing new, he calls it The Path of Totality grain as an example. But he believes that the album will convince fans of electronic music hardly much rather it speak to the hardcore fans of Linkin Park.

Kate Hutchinson of New Musical Express takes Recharged as further proof that EDM is the successor of Nu Metal, probably again. Based on the dubstep -inspired album The Path of Totality Nu - Metal co-founder grain She comes to the conclusion that only Rick Rubin save hip-hop remix of A Light That Never Comes from disaster.
