Free Music Review: Linkin Park - Minutes To Midnight
Hit: 5 Stars
Well, it seems that this album has the been the target for bad reviews..listen to the other Linkin Park albums, too! Linkin Park is a band of six who are great musical taste, as well as genius. These guys should'nt be looked down on. These days, music itself has gotten worse and worse, and Linkin Park's Minutes To Midnight shows the the rest of the world that bands out there can still make music. Meteora, Hybrid Theory, Reanimation, and the rest of their music itself is amazing. This is just a slice a perfection..
1: Wake: A unique intro, which throws the listener into the next track. (10/10)
2: Given Up: One of my favorite tracks off the album. The punk feeling throughout the song is unbeatable. (10/10)
3: Leave Out All The Rest: This is my least favorite track on the album. The whole concept of the track itself I disliked from the start. All, in all, it is a pretty good track, though. (7/10)
4: Bleed It Out: Another punk/ party type song. A good song from start to finish. (9/10)
5: Shadow Of The Day: It has been said before, and I will say it again. With Or Without You- U2 All in all, a good track. (9/10)
6: What I've Done: My second favorite track off the album! This track, despite being overplayed, is a great one. (10/10)
7: Hands Held High: A song that I believe is about George W. Bush, and the War in Iraq. A nice song throughout. (10/10)
8: No More Sorrow: This song captures Linkin Park's energy perfectly! 'Nuff said. (10/10)
9: Valentine's Day: A more mellowed out LP track. (10/10)
10: In Between: Some Mike Shinoda vocal action! This track is not half-bad.. (8/10)
11: In Pieces: A softer, but still great track from Linkin Park. Some nice vocals and nice guitar parts from Chester and Brad. (10/10)
12: The Little Things Give You Away: An emotional song written about Hurricane Katrina. (10/10)
All in all, a GREAT album. You will not regret your buy!

Free Music Review: The Only Constant Thing In This Universe Is Change
Hit: 4 Stars
Many bands have died off from not being able to evolve, mature, grow, and explore. With this album, Linkin Park has shown that the group can branch out and try something new. Not everyone is going to like it, but then again, no one liked hearing that the earth was round when they believed for eons that it was flat.
That being said, I have to say that, as a Linkin Park fan, it took me many listens to fully enjoy this album because I was just so resistant to the new sound. Don't get me wrong - my favorite songs are the ones that sound like Linkin Park, but I have to say, Shadow of the Day, Hands Held High, Leave Out All The Rest are beautiful songs.
This album will not immediately astonish and please, but after multiple listens, you will enjoy it.

Hit: 4 Stars
After two wildly successful albums, it's hard to pretend you're hyper-ventilating angry. So befalls Linkin Park, who turn to uber-producer Rick Rubin for guidance and make their best album yet.
All parties involved have seen the writing on the well: NuMetal and RapRock are teetering towards the tarpit. Evolve or die. Under Rubin's guidance, the band channeled their skills into other means of expression. Thus, once the true-to-form first song "Wake/Given Up" crashes your sound system, LP drops a major ballad in the form of "Leave Out All The Rest." In fact, the only traces left of the band that roared on Hybrid Theory are found on that opening track and on the excellent single, "Bleed It Out." Otherwise, maturity has found its place on "Minutes To Midnight."
After all, once you've left Southern California to sip Cristal with Jay-Z, tour the world and make a stop in Post-Katrina New Orleans ("The Little Things Give You Away"), well, "Numb" just isn't the song/viewpoint that's going to emerge. The band members that were just entering their twenties at their debut are now pushing thirty; rapper Mike Shinoda delivers the killer "Hands Held High," as virulent a protest song as any band, much less a band where the big protest number is rapped, delivered in 2007. It's then followed by Chester, who strikes hard with "No More Sorrow." It's some great stuff, powerful.
However, Linkin Park still has to overcome the presupposition that maturity also means syrupy. "Valentine's Day" is a sappy song with a dumb lyric, even if Chester tries to sound like he's really hurt. His hurt is far more convincing when he's po'd, but again, the NuMetal Sing-like-the-cookie-monster style has left the station, so LP probably decided to reign in the screams from popping up too often. It also means that there's a noticeable decrease in the guitar heroics which, while not a detriment, does remove some of the visceral force that made Meteora and the debut memorable.
Even minus the blunt force, "Minutes To Midnight" still whomps 90% of what passes for rock records these days. Linkin Park shows, on only their third studio album, that they have real potential to evolve to a band with staying power.
Free Music Review: Not your old Linkin Park but still a great album
Hit: 5 Stars
I had read them say prior to this albums release that this was going to be a completely different sounding album, two thoughts came to mind "uh-oh" and "Yeah right, every band says that." But it is a different sound, and it is a great album, bands need to evolve otherwise they just release the same CD over and over with different lyrics.
The only thing I don't like about this album is that they don't have that rap-rock sound to them anymore, its a much more emotional sound which is fine. But Fort Minor takes care of the rap shtuff for ya (even if he talks about how they wanted to take rap out of LP on there)
Sum it up... buy it
