Amazon.co.uk Review:
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

Description:
Four years after the monumental success of Linkin Park's second album 'Meteora', the California based Nu-Metallers return with their third studio album. Recorded over fourteen months at The Mansion in Los Angeles and produced by Mike Shinoda and Rick Rubin, the album takes a more melodic and progressive direction than its predecessors, with the band utilising new instruments and recording techniques. Includes the single 'What I've Done.'

- Everyone's a critic!
If you are a massive fan of their old sound, of the Nu metal, then you should definitely avoid this album. If you are a music fan with an open mind then you should definitely purchase this. The sound that they have created is incredibly different. I really don't know why they changed that much. Once I like a band's sound I really don't like it when they try and reinvent themselves to change that, and that's exactly what Linkin Park have done here. I bought Meteora as my first Linkin Park album back in 2003 and I instantly loved it. The sound of the music was so unique, and to a 13 year old, pretty surprising as well. Meteora was the band's pinnacle and it is such a fantastic album. Then, after a couple of years of no activity from the band, ... Read More:

- Extremely Disappointing
First off I'd like to say that I love their earlier album's, and that I was looking forward to this. I heard What I've Done and thought it was alright, not as good as their earlier stuff, but not terrible. However, I had the feeling that it wouldn't be very good from just reading the tracks on the back so I refrained from buying it. I then asked a friend what he thought the best track was. As soon as he said, "Uhhh, probably What I've Done" I was thinking sssshhhhhhiiit.

So I borrowed it off him, gave it a listen, I it was just boring to me. Lacked originality and there were too many very quiet songs for my tastes. I saw them live recently at the Milton Keynes Bowl, and I will say this: they were the first band that I'd come to ... Read More:

- Not as bad as expected!!
This is not even close to being a 4 or 5 star album. Bands clearly have to evolve and usually when this is done correctly for every fan they lose they will gain 5 more, however Linkin Park have unfortunately evolved into overalll nothingness, the distinct lack of heaviness makes this record a bit of a chore to listen to. There are moments of promise dotted around the album but on the whole very little actually grabs you and forces you to keep playing it over and over.

The only really promising songs are the main single What Ive Done and Given Up, but once again despite the attempts to evolve it is very similar to the first track of Meteora though i must admit the simple but catchy guitar riff is a winner. On the subject of the guitars ... Read More:

- Proving MORE than their worth!!
I loved LP and got this album knowing all the mixed reviews it had. Overall it's not as agressive as Meteora or Hybrid Theory tho there are a few songs that are still signature of the old LP. The new tracks hit out at something more and so extraordinary it really does break the mould from other commercialized bands who would just churn out the same old sounds. I loved it coz it's an experimental album and a unique piece that stands as high as their others.

Rating:

- Dissapointing
I could have given this album an even lower score because i find it annoying in most cases and from LP it is pitiful.

but having sed tht there are good tracks on here and it is listenable. but for me, the only way i can listen to it is to forget that it's linkin park and just listen to it normally but even doing that i still don't particullarly like it.

basically, if you hav heard a few of linkin parks songs but mainly the newer ones like numb and hit the floor the newer ones then get meteora, if you like proper nu-metal then get hybrid theory, the only reason to get this album is if you like the pop-rock style of the music or you just want to complete a collection of linkin park albums. (i don't have anything against you ... Read More:
