"If there ever was a sounder cry for change in Hip-Hop, Mike Shinoda would definately join the ranks. Leading the charge for something new in Hip-Hop, Shinoda's Fort Minor project delivers. Simply put, get this album.



That is, of course if you like Hip-Hop and know that it needs more than affection for booty and declarations of machine gun clips."

"If you're looking to buy this CD for more Linkin Park goodness, then this CD is not for you. Mike Shinoda's side project, Fort Minor, delivers a very hip-hoppish CD with Rising Tied. It features appearances by some of the Linkin Park members as well as a lot of other lesser known people of the hip-hop music world.



The CD delivers great beats with decent lyrics. I recommend it to anyone looking for something a little different."

"Being a huge fan of Linkin Park I was intrigued to learn of Fort Minor and after purchasing the CD I was hooked. The mixture of inspiring lyrics and a good beat make this a great album. Each track has its place, depending on your mood and lyrical preference, however the one track that hits hardest is Kenji, which is the story of a Japanese family wrapped up in the aftermath of the Pearl Harbor attack. When the song ends you learn its a true story, only the names have been changed but the stories true.



Kenji is not the only story song, in fact I find each song to carry its own story. I look forward to additional releases by Fort Minor and Linkin Park!"
