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 didn't. You'll hear it in your mind and wonder why the hell LP...

A Different Side Of Linkin Park

I Only Like 4 Song's On This Album. And That's Givin Up, What I've Done, No More Sorrow And Bleed It Out. I Didn't Care For The Other Song's, Only The 4 Song's I Just Mentioned Are Good.Don't Buy This Album. Just Download The Song's You Like. This Album Was A Waste Of Money.

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.

WHERE DID LINKIN PARK GO!!!

Give me back the old Linkin Park!! There are numerous problems on this disc. 1. A while back Chetser said "vulgarity doesn't ever add anything special", ...suuure... 2. There's practically no rapping on this cd.(except Hands Held High and Bleed It Out) 3. Ballads are OK, but over half the songs...

Rocks!!

This is my 1st LP Disc. I listen to many genres and most metal/rock I hear was me being stuck in time in the 90s. I gave this a listen & just had to get it. I like the LP sound. It seems ppl compare this to LPs previous release & believe its not as good. Ofcourse I dont have the benefit of...

good; not as good

I love this band, and I enjoy this album, but, like other reviewers, I don't think it's as good as the first two... Still, it's definitely worth a buy.

BORING!

This album is just simply boring for most of the tracks. The songs are mostly just too soft. The album starts off with promise after the intro with Given Up, which is a really hard-rocking angst-filled track that I really like. Bleed It Out is a really cool song, and one of the only ones with...

Different, but still good in my opinion

The newest album fron Linkin Park titled "Minutes to Midnight" sure is a lot different than "Hybrid Theory" and "Meteora", but I still liked it. It is probably the weakest of their albums, but it does have some very good songs on here.1. Wake - Just an intro, doesn't need a rating.2. Given Up -...

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 will probably be disappointed). So here's my overall...
