The first question everyone asks about Collision Course is "Is this album more Jay-Z or Linkin Park?" The wrong answer is that it's Jay-Z with a loud band or a back-and-forth of covers where one rearranges the other. The right answer is that this CD/DVD set is quite possibly one of the best cross-genre pairings of its kind. What started off as an exercise at "mashing" a Linkin Park track with a Jay-Z track turned into a fantastic pickup game between two artists at the top of their worlds. Each brought a short list of their best songs to the field and walked away with a six-song trophy. This is recess in the supergroup sandbox, and the boys shared their toys. "Numb/Encore" and "Izzo/In the End" are near-perfect plays of seamless sonic moves and mic assists from heavy metal to hip-hop and back. Both artists have spent a little time in the other camp on various parts of their records, but it's the collaboration that makes this album a winner. It may be true that Linkin Park is less than convincing than J-Hova on "Big Pimpin'/Papercut," but there's no evidence of "I" on this team. In fact, the DVD clearly shows Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda taking on the role of head coach as he commands the digital workstation, the mixing desk, and all the players with a collective spirit. --Pete Hilgendorf Recommended Jay-Z and Linkin Park

 No Idea Why December 18, 2009
Rhianna Ulrich (Colorado)
You either like this album, or hate it. I do not like Linkin Park, nor Jay Z, but I love this album...I have no idea why. It's a bit short, but such a fun listen it's worth a buy.
 All Six Tracks Are Worth The Money!!!! November 23, 2009
Rockstar Romeraux (Baker,Louisiana)
This is THE best Mash-up album I have ever heard. The songs are well put together, by two of the greatest artists this generation has ever seen. Yeah it's pretty short being only six songs, but you have to appreciate the hard work put into making these fabulous songs. Again every song on the album is awsome, and I suggest this album to anyone who is a fan of both rock and rap genre's of music. Finally, this is a ground breaking album, and I encourage anyone, to buy it if they can. 5/5!!
Excellent for what it is. July 22, 2009

First off, let me just say that 9/10 of the bad reviews given to this album are likely from under-18 high school kids who are stuck in their trendy (even though being untrendy seems to be the trend these days) world in which they hate everything that they don't like because it's their way of establishing their identity within a peer subgroup (i.e. metal heads, punks, etc). For example, the moron who ranted about how we shouldn't listen to Linkin Park because they aren't "real metal". I don't recall anyone saying they bought this album because they were seeking a "real metal album". The truth is, you never purchased the album at all, you just hate it because it's popular. You created a list of bands that ALL SOUND IDENTICAL, with the exception of Metallica (which was somehow at the bottom of your list of great metal bands, because in the metal inner-circle it's also cool to hate Metallica) Now, moving on.
What we have here are to similar but very diverse artists that created a mash up album mixing their more popular singles together and sharing lyrics/beats/music from both to create new sounding tracks. This is not intended to be a collection of new songs. So, for what it is it's fantastic. I am neither a huge fan of Linkin Park or Jay-Z, but when they combined their tracks together they created something that is both catchy in sound, powerful and modern. There isn't a bad track on the album and it's great to listen to. It's about as good as it could possibly get as far as combining the talents of Linkin Park and Jay-Z goes. Therefore I give it 5 stars. If you are a fan of Linkin Park I could see you enjoying it more than a Jay-Z fan would, but even if you enjoy hearing their songs on the radio from time to time, check this album out. It will not disappoint.
 AWSOME June 25, 2008
I think this a ok album. Except there's only six songs. and a video.
There should have been a lot more songs (like 15).
