Review: Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda powerful on ‘Post Traumatic’ album (Includes first-hand account)

It opens on an unflinching note with “Place To Start,” and it is followed by the stirring “Over Again,” as well as the mid-tempo “Watching As I Fall.”

Equally impressive are “Make It Up As I Go,” which features the crisp vocals of K.Flay and “Lift Off,” his soothing collaboration with Chino Moreno and Machine Gun Kelly, which allows the lyrics to speak for themselves. He tackles serious subject matter such as living with loss.

In “Running From My Shadow,” Shinoda collaborates with grandson, and this 16-track collection closes with the vivacious “World’s On Fire” and on a haunting note with “Can’t Hear You Now.”

On October 13, Mike Shinoda will be performing his very first solo tour at The Rooftop at Pier 17 in the Seaport District of New York City.

The Verdict

Overall, Mike Shinoda delivers on this deep and personal musical project, Post Traumatic. It is filled with raw emotions, and Shinoda is not afraid to be vulnerable. It hits the listener like a shot in the heart, and Post Traumatic ought to be enjoyed for its authenticity and honesty. This is a must for all Linkin Park fans. It garners an A rating.

Post Traumatic is available on iTunes, and on Spotify.
