Free Music Notes for Minutes to Midnight
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
Free Music Review: could've been better.....
Hit: 3 Stars
well, there's only about 4 or 5 songs on this album that i really like. in one way or the other, i feel like this album is just a step down from their previous 2 albums...Free Music Review: The old Linkin Park has died...
Hit: 1 Stars
If only the minutes you had to endure to get to midnight while listening to this album were worth a few minutes, this may be a feasible album. Their attempts to completely lose their rap-technologic-rock came crashing down as a big mistake with this album. Songs like "Given Up" and "Bleed it Out" are sorry excuses for a high-school garage band with their clap tracks and simple repeating lyrics that hold no substance. "Shadow of the Day" sounds like it could be Kelly Clarkson's next hit and "What I've Done" is like pretty pop music with an angry voice. "Leave it All Out" reminds me of some sort of talent show attempt with two people singing simple harmonies while "Hand Held High" is a political crybaby song that seems to be made by Fort Minor, not LP. "no More Sorrow" is Linkin Park's attempt to sound like AFI apparently, with a beat that doesn't suit them and the random yelling in the chorus that's off tune. "valentine's Day" and "In Between"...I don't know what to say about these ones...just awful.
All in all, if you like Linkin Park because you listened to Reanimation or Meteora or Hybrid Theory...you'll hate this CD. It holds no substance, but instead attempts to include influences like Taking Back Sunday and AFI with some Pink and random pop. They lost their edge and for that I will forever be saddened by this disc.
Free Music Review: Not bad, but it isn't super either
Hit: 3 Stars
Linkin Park is without a doubt, the most interesting group the 21th century has seen. While playing some awesome hits, they have also tried to keep the "family friendly police" away by offering cuss-free lyrics. Personally, I don't mind cussing depending how it is used, but I seem to think LP did nothing more than cussed just so they would either look cool or dangerous. Before I continue with my review, I'd like to say that an album is a heck a lot more than cussing. Anyway, Minutes to Midnight is a rather interesting album because although the band hasn't completely removed their rap-rock roots, they just don't cut it in this great album. Btw, many LP fans were quite annoyed that Mike Shinoda got benched for basically the whole album and was used in the worst songs of MIM: "Bleed it Out" and "Hands Held High". Speaking of Hands Held High, whats with the political crap? If you are gonna say bad stuff about our current president, at least make freakin' sense. Apparently, all that cash can drive people to do awesome tracks or just plan mediocre songs. Another interesting thing is that it seems like Linkin Park is doing whatever their producer tells them to. If you read the booklet, there are hints that they performed this song just because "Rick told them too." It was like one of the reviewers said, "If Rick told you to jump off a cliff, would you do it?" (If I remembered your name, I'd mention it.) Like I said, the album is far from bad, but its far from Hybrid Theory too (I understand that sooner or later you gotta stay in the media and most of the time you have to change, so those "Fanboy" comments ain't gonna work out right.) If it weren't for Shadow of the Day, Given Up, In Pieces, What I've Done, and Valentine's Day, I'd be wondering how many minutes will it be till midnight before throwing this disk away. If you absolutely love Linkin Park and don't mind the potental changes, by all means buy. If you can't take LP without its rap-rock roots, you'll be disappointed.Free Music Review: Great Live!
Hit: 5 Stars
The songs that are awesome make up for the ones that aren't so great. Bleed it out is my new fav song by lp & shadow of the day. The live show was even better!
