Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: 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

Customer Reviews
Bull S***
I was once a HUGE fan of Linkin Park and even was part of their fan club. My mom was the first to notice and listen to them and buy their album[yes my mother has pretty good taste in music]i borrowed Hybrid Theory when she bought it i loved it and i still haven't given it back. My parents got me the second album for my birthday and i loved it too. But I couldn't be any more dissapointd in their "new" sound. I respect artists for wanting to reinvent themselves and find something different to experiment with so that they don't seem predictable. But when you put out something that is THIS BAD you might as well have just gone with being predictable.
I'm gonna go listen to the new Ashlee Simpson CD and cry in the corner and hope they've learned their lesson.

Linkin Park proves they're up there with Rage, Kongcrete, and Querashi
Move over, Limp Bizkit. There's no other band since Rage Against the Machine, Querashi, and Kongcrete that does a better job at combining hip hop with rock n roll instrumentals and vocal aggression. Linkin Park has proven in this album that they have really created their own identity. Bands like Linkin Park and Kongcrete seemed to have found that sweet spot where mashups between rock and hip hop can create entirely new genres.

Awesome Album - Nothing Wrong With It!!!
Quite a number of people have been really pissy about this album. Especially because it sounds different from Linkin Park's previous albums. I've listened to this album numerous times and I personally think it turned out to be a really great album. I think it was cool that they stepped out and tried something different with their music (and Linkin Park isn't the only one who people have complained about changing how their music sounds). Because really, it would probably start to sound a little boring if they just did the same stuff over and over. So I think this album was great whether people think it sucks or not.
