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. Even if the album is more TRL than 106 & Park, it's only an easy target for cynical folks who haven't really listened to it. 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. On the other hand, the following 'Back Home' finds Shinoda holding his own next to hip-hop hero Common and a little while later 'High Road' nails the 'all you haters stop playin'' track perfectly and nearly at Twista speed. Empty headed numbers like 'In Stereo' ('Oh-oh/Ready for it here we go/We got the block rocking in stereo') are the kind of tracks you wouldn't want to be caught dead representing as street hip-hop when in the hood, but if it's filler when compared to the soul-searching highlights, it's damn catchy filler with lyrics innocuous enough for everyday suburban partying. There's also the bleak and bitter 'Kenji' which focuses on the Japanese-American internees during World War II with believable venom. 'Where'd You Go' tugs at the heart even harder while suggesting it doesn't matter if it's war or constant business trips are keeping loved ones away from home, it just plain hurts. Fort Minor is the hip hop side-project of Mike Shinoda, the vocalist, guitarist and songwriter of the alternative rock band Linkin Park.Though it was technically Shinoda's solo project, the members of Styles Of Beyond featured heavily on Fort Minor's album The Rising Tied and appeared with Shinoda at photo shoots and live concerts.

'Right Now' connects the hood, to the 'burbs, to Iraq effortlessly while rapidly introducing a series of lonely people that are all as stuck as Eleanor Rigby. As executive producer, Jay-Z calls it during the album's intro, it's a 'big sound,' and as he focuses on 'richness of the sound' he knows this is 'something serious.' Serious is something Shinoda excels at and The Rising Tied slays when it goes epic.
