Editorial Reviews
Album Description
Explicit Version. Helmed by noted director Blue Leach (R.E.M., Depeche Mode, Snow Patrol, Beck), Road To Revolution, Live At Milton Keynes captures Linkin Park on its acclaimed 2008 Projekt Revolution tour in front of 65,000 fans in England. The band's first live document in five years, the almost 80 minute concert DVD (and the accompanying CD version) will surely help fans survive a break after the group's recent touring and before the next Linkin Park studio album.
Customer Reviews
Rockin' show, but the DVD and CD fall a bit short
ROAD TO REVOLUTION captures Linkin Park at a June 29, 2008 show in England at the Milton Keynes Bowl--the final gig on their inaugural European leg of the Projekt Revolution tour. The package captures the band doing their thing with great quality sound on both the CD and the DVD. The band has developed their live show after years of touring to include just enough surprises in the live versions of all of the songs to keep the music entertaining. These include a new, heavier breakdown in "One Step Closer", a revamped version of "Wake" complete with a heavier drum beat and fierce turntable scratches, and a long intro to "Crawling" that incorporates the dark electronics of the version of the song from REANIMATION. The DVD is filmed with superb lighting and editing to adequately engage the viewer in the energy of the concert. The newer tracks from MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT, particularly the ballads, actually sound better than here than they do in the studio, with crisper guitars and louder electronics and keyboards. The show looks great, and the occasional far-off shots overlooking the crowd, the huge stage backdrop, and the setting sun give the viewer a great sense of what being at the concert must have been like.
However, there are a couple of flaws both in the show itself and in the intuitiveness of the DVD that makes this release inferior to LIVE IN TEXAS. For one thing, Chester is not as strong here as he was at the 2003 show; this is especially apparent on some of the heavier tracks in the set ("One Step Closer", "Given Up", "Jigga What/Faint"). It must be remembered, of course, that this show took place near the end of a world tour that lasted over a year, but a little more finesse and power on his part would have been appreciated since the vocals are turned up so high into the live mix. Perhaps the most irritating aspect of the DVD (and one that really brings the appeal of the whole package down) is the fact that both the DVD and CD lack 3 of the 22 songs in the original setlist. On the DVD, the tracks "Somewhere I Belong","Papercut" and "Points of Authority" are edited out until after the end credits, at which point they can be viewed individually as "bonus tracks" that cannot be incorporated into the full concert upon repeat viewings. This is a shame because the absence of these three tracks cause the concert on the DVD and CD to be geared towards slower, calmer ballads rather than balanced equally between heavy tracks and quieter tracks--exactly as the set really was. I don't know what the band was thinking here; I just think it would make sense to have the entire concert viewable as it truly was. It makes sense that they might cut the CD down to fit the concert onto one disc, but on the DVD, it makes no sense.
So, although this CD/DVD combo was recorded and filmed with excellent quality, there are some minor flaws that make it a disappointing live document. If you're a Linkin Park fan, you'll probably pick it up anyway, but don't expect it to top LIVE IN TEXAS in terms of the quality of the package. Also, make sure to buy the explicit version; the edited version completely butchers the cameo raps from Jay-Z in the first encore.
Nice for Linkin Park Fans
We think this music sounds great. If they are in concert near us we are going!
Road to Revolution at Milton Keynes CD DVD
I received this product well within the time given in the conditioned promised. It was also very great to listen and was very special to me totally. Thanks for letting me express
Not bad, but a slight disappointment
First off, just so everyone knows where I'm coming from, I'm a Linkin Park fan who's seen them live several times. I DJ'ed at an FM radio station for two years with my own rock show and worked as an album reviewer for my college paper for three years. That said, this album is not "bad" but is nowhere near what I was expecting, nor would it rise above "decidedly average" in my book.
First off, let's hit the high points. The setlist is solid, containing a nice mix from all three of their original studio albums, both hits and deep cuts. I particularly liked the inclusion of the original version of "Pushing Me Away" off of "Hybrid Theory" rather than the remixed version off "Reanimation." The setlist was my biggest worry going into this album, because in the multiple times I've seen them from 2003 to the present I saw the same setlist, with only one song's difference each time. Jay-Z also makes an appearance on the album, and he and LP collaborate for a pair of songs from "Collision Course."
That said, this album doesn't stack up well against "Live in Texas." One of the great things I loved about seeing LP live is that they always played like they had something to prove, as if the show you were watching was going to be the one they were judged on for all time. That led to an incredible stage energy. The band, and the vocals in particular, seem to lack that on "Road to Revolution," as if they slacked off a bit and accepted the fact that they're famous. The sound mixing also sounds off, and varies slightly from song to song, leading some songs to be bass-heavy, guitar-heavy or with vocals so heavy it drowns out the instruments.
To be fair, it is an LP album, and hardcore LP fans will like it, if for no other reason than it offers live cuts from "Minutes to Midnight." The casual fan, however, would be better off picking up "Live in Texas" to see and hear a really great LP live show.
Best music purchase ever!
Normally I do not see much value in these personal reviews as they really are a matter of style and personal taste. This purchase however left me feeling like I stole this. I had heard this concert aired on a local station one evening wishing I could get a copy of it and ordered this, not knowing it was the same concert. I was blown away that not only did I get the CD, I got the DVD. It is as close as I have ever experienced to being at the live show and left me with an adrenaline rush equal to any concert I've been to (including Pink Floyd and U2 and cost about $400.00 less)! Best part is I can relive this anytime I choose. Excellent!!!
