About
A solo project from Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda, Fort Minor's The Rising
Tide album was entirely written and produced by him, with executive
backing from his homie Jay-Z. While not as aggro as the stuff he does with
his primary crew, it still maintains that heavy sound, fusing rock-tinged
drums and guitar riffs with Timbaland/Neptune-style synth squiggles. The
record also touches on unique issues; one song addresses Japanese
internment camps during WWII, while another was inspired by a Robert
Altman film.
