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.
