OC Register:
Perhaps the revolving stage might spin Linkin Park into view for a stripped-down acoustic mini-set? After all, that band’s frontman Chester Bennington was already on hand with his new outfit Dead by Sunrise. But Dead by Sunrise was a small revelation, dramatically improved since its unveiling at Epicenter at August. What then sounded like Linkin Park without the hip-hop or synth effects now comes across like a fired-up garage-rock group trying to prove its worth. Kudos, too, to Chester: when faced with a half-empty amphitheater, probably for the first time since the early days of Linkin Park, he didn’t turn prima donna, instead hurling himself into the performance and giving his all. - Selengkapnya

Dead by Sunrise, the new act from Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington, eschewed that act's arena-sized rap-rock for a street-level scruffiness that, though typically hook-centric, wasn't nearly as fully formed as Linkin Park. But even Bennington's B-list songwriting would have been preferable to the relentless dirge of Three Days Grace, a sallow Canadian band whose set suggested that not even single-payer healthcare could heal the wounds it inflicted on those who like rock with rhythm or sex appeal. - Selengkapnya
