While i do love Hybrid Theory and Meteora, the new sounds are growing on me but nothing will beat the first two albums...

Creeping Jesus get some taste British record buying public! There is just no excuse for this, even children with as yet undeveloped taste have no excuse. Excrement.

"One of the best albums of all time?" You should listen to more music, I think.
