reception

Artistdirect praised Linkin Park for showing a new page. QWERTY , And One , Sold My Soul to Yo Mama and Hunger Strike were particularly convincing. Rating:

However, Alexander Cordas from Laut.de criticized Linkin Park for pulling money out of people's pockets with albums like this. The winged saying about the cow to be milked takes on completely new dimensions. He only praised the song QWERTY and asked at the same time why they hide such a song in the fan club. He forgave .

Also CDstarts.de criticized the album as a commercial product that is interesting for most hardcore fans. As Anspieltipps are QWERTY , Hunger Strike and Sold My Soul to Yo Mama called. were awarded.

But many fans also criticized the album because it made the songs from the LP underground CDs reach the general public and therefore lost their exclusivity. It is also criticized that only the two live recordings are new and that the album is too expensive for that.
