Minutes to Midnight
Minutes to Midnight stands to defend Linkin Park's status as the hardest-rockin' softies in mainstream music. Like its predecessors Hybrid Theory (2000) and Meteroa (2003), Minutes to Midnight flexes plenty of decibel-heavy muscle ("Given Up," "Bleed It Out," "No More Sorrow") and made-to-order, melodic radio fare ("Leave Out All the Rest," "Shadow of the Day," "In Pieces"). But for all its volume, Linkin Park likes to paint its heart openly on its sleeve with suspicious sonic drama, as in the palpably saccharine "Valentine's Day." Fortunately, co-producer Rick Rubin brings all these elements to pinnacle effect with the surprise "Hands Held High." On past efforts, the combination of breezy keyboard, arpeggiated guitar, choral vocals, and a military snare-beat would yield another slab of smarm, here MC Mike Shinoda drops the two best verses of his career, blending vocal styles with singer Chester Bennington for a moving piece that's as welcome a repertorial addition as Linkin Park is ever likely to muster. --Jason Kirk more

- Frustrating to listen to
Listening to this CD is nothing but an exercise in frustration. You'll spend every song waiting for a climax that never comes. It's so obvious even to someone who's not a musician where every one of these songs should have gone but...

- Nu Metal = Garbage
Linkin Park is abhorrent and laughable compared to real metal. Check out Opeth, Emperor, Children of Bodom, Kalmah, Behemoth, Nile, and Mastodon if you want to hear real metal.

- An honest review of a controversial album
After listening to the most recent Linkin Park album, it certainly is different. It's got some of the hard rock elements from their Nu-Metal days, and it's got a surprising amount of softer songs (which I really enjoyed but many fans...
