 Exceptional January 30, 2008
This is an amazing cd/dvd, combines the best parts of both artist's work amazingly blended. The only problem is the shortness of the music, because its obviously time consuming to mix these songs. But other than that a great selection of songs which work so well together. Most of the songs are timeless classics.
Jay-z & LP November 13, 2007
Good albums, the best ones are when there is mor LP than JZ because the LP songs are class, the other JZ ones just give some rhythem, shame about the swearing but Numb/Encore brings it back to the top level.
Overall it is a: :)
 Don't get ripped off October 18, 2007
The album's great, but don't buy this release. Noticed there's no "explicit lyrics label" on the cover? That's because this is the cut version, and if you know the lyrics to the songs on here you'll understand how pointless that is - half the album is silent! I'd give it zero if I could...
Better than hybrid - perfection in the mix September 4, 2007

I have to say i struggle to get why people would not enjoy this album thoroughly. Yeah only 6 tracks, but you get the making of (actually quite interesting) and the concert on DVD as well.
As far the tracks working - they are just so much more fun and dynamic. They rap off each other so well, and Chester's anguished howl in the mix fits perfectly, even though it shouldn't. Hybrid is a very good album but a bit monochromatic (Meteora and Minutes to Midnight are so much better) , but this album is pretty up there and makes Hybrid seem a little pedestrian in comparison.
Quality over quantity June 6, 2007

Collision Course is a 2 disc set that seamlessly melds the music of Jay-Z with Linkin Park. An interesting combination...... but it works.
CD: The first thing you will notice is just how brief it is at only 21 minutes. However, this really is quality over quantity because the tracks blend seamlessly into one another whilst being notably varied.
1. Dirt Off Your Shoulder/Lying From You
The first 30 seconds are crap but then the guitar and beats kick in and suddenly we have a good song (and album) on our hands.
2. Big Pimpin'/Papercut
A lot more hip-hop than rock - no guitars for the Linkin Park fans out there. This is the weakest track on the CD but still good. Jay-Z really picks this track up in the second verse when his rapping kicks in.
3. Jigga What/Faint
A brilliant track that builds up into an all-out rock monster by the end. I love the way this song develops from a strong hip-hop vibe at the start to the all-out rock at the end. This is almost as good as Numb/Encore and a definite highlight of the CD.
4. Numb/Encore
The best track on the album? Well, this probably just edges it over Jigga What/Faint but it's a very close call. Some of you might recognise this from the Miami Vice film. I think this is the most emotive song on the CD and is great from start to finish.
5. IZZO/In The End
Back to the hip-hop feel of track 2 with no hint of rock on this one. A nice little track that has the most upbeat sound on the CD.
6. Points Of Authority/99 Problems/One Step Closer
The heaviest track on the CD - Jay-Z rapping (mostly 99 Problems) to Linkin Park's heavy riffs and with Chester Bennington finishing the song off with a classic Linkin Park chorus.
DVD: A 45 minute documentary that contains the entire live performance of the 6 songs. It's quite enjoyable and interesting to watch how the album came together. Well worth watching but not as long as I thought it would be.
Overall: This is a surprisingly good album. I didn't expect it to be so good and I like every track. The only real downside is that it is so short, hence only 4 stars instead of 5. Definitely worth getting but make sure you don't pay too much for it, simply because it is so short.
