No, he has a point. Their lyrical themes are pretty much aimed at the same demographic. Not to mention the fact that they've just changed their style to fit into the newest trend in music
The album name is blatantly unoriginal. Iron Maiden anyone?
Sure, Brad does some pathetic attempts at a guitar solo here and there, and "omglolwevegottenmorerawandheavyandmature!" Mature? Whining about crap and swearing is far from mature. And it doesn't sound "raw" it sounds like watered down weak crap that just floods the mainstream already. The album is far from mature, original, or "raw".
To this day, I still listen to some tracks from Hybrid Theory, maybe for the nostalgic effect, I dunno. But what little uniqueness they had back then is pretty much gone here.
The album is "interesting" nonetheless however. There are some really shit tracks, and tracks I can find myself liking somewhat, but overall, I don't find it that great.
