  1. The music isn't exactly groundbreaking, and none of the remixes improve on the Hybrid Theory originals, but the boyish energy of Reanimation has its own appeal, and it's not too far emotionally from the tried-so-hard spirit of "In the End."
  2. The remixes are extremely liberal, cutting and pasting with little regard for the originals in question.
  3. When it works, the results are astounding.

    Linkin gain from their hip-hop daring, and the dance domos get to wedge a foot in the crossover door. [#9, p.151]
  5. Why didn't they travel this far out of the box initially?
  6. Some of this works quite well, some of it is kind of juvenile, much of it is only slightly recognizable from the original, it's too long and compared to contemporary arty rock, it really isn't that arty.

    Almost every track here pales in comparison to the original version. [Sep 2002, p.109]
