iTunes Review
With their third album in seven years, Linkin Park has started to move beyond the rap-metal template that made the band icons in the first half of the 2000s. Lead single “Shadow of the Day” features strings and an unusually tender vocal from Chester Bennington. Of course, one can’t discount the bleak refrain lying just under the song’s sweet surface: “The shadow of the day / Will embrace the world in grey.” “Valentine’s Day” and “Leave Out All the Rest” follow the blueprint of “Shadow of the Day,” and at first it seems that Linkin Park might now have more in common with Coldplay than Korn. But “Given Up,” “Bleed It Out,” and “No More Sorrow” are furious performances that match, and perhaps even outdo, classic Linkin Park songs like “Numb” and “Crawling.” Producer Rick Rubin has brought out the best in the band, and with Minutes to Midnight they manage to incorporate new sounds and attitudes without abandoning the aggressive rock that made them a household name.
Customer Reviews
Although Linkin Park is amazing
Linkin Park is undeniably amazing but, if u really wanna listen to good material, try Hybrid Theory and Meteora bcuz those r classics Wake - 4 - Its very short and instrumentals only, still its a great opening Given Up - 9.4 - One of the better songs, just too rock for Chester... Shinoda shouldnt have ditched his rapping Leave Out All the Rest - 9.4 - Same opposite calibur of Given Up, its more of a soul rock song but its very sympathetic Bleed it Out - 9 - way too rock for Linkin Park, otherwise its pretty good Shadow of the Day - 8 - lyrically its fine, but delson could have slammed on this, and chester could have nailed the vocals What Ive Done - 9.8 - Great lyricall, choruswise and the guitarwork is amazing Hands Held High - 9.9 - Lyrically their best, Shinoda has his moments, its got a perfect beat for the mood No More Sorrow - 9.5 - great rock, perfect nailing vocals, chesters proved him self again Valentine's Day - 7 - Weak, speeds up at the very end, JUST too late to be saved In Between - 6.7 - Im sorry but Shinoda needs to focus on rapping but the opening is great but hes SUPPOSED to thicken to ROCK, it never speeds up, do not buy In Pieces - 6.4 - Very weak, Delson missed this shot, slow song The Little Things Give You Away - 9.7 - Love this cuz its antiBush, ha, no but this is still a great song despite my bias towards it (fopr bashing bush) lyrically their best, but they never consistently did great guitarwok
The Times They Are A-Changin’: Minutes to Midnight Scores, in an Unconventional Linkin Park Fashion
To say that this is the most important album of our generation may be a bit of an overstatement, but one certainly ought to consider the significance of a brand new Linkin Park disc released FOUR Years after Meteora. The music world was a very different place back then: the iTunes music store didn’t exist, nor did Pandora or Last.FM, and Myspace-Music was just a glint in Tom’s eye. Audio was delivered to the masses strictly on compact discs, or via the radio. And back then, Linkin Park was one of the biggest bands out there. You see, LP surfaced in a very pivotal point in my life. I was a young middle schooler when Hybrid Theory was released, only starting to dive into the world of music. My confusion, my angst (however trivial it was) materialized itself in Hybrid Theory and Meteora. For whatever reason, Linkin Park became an outlet for my energy, much more so than any other band of a similar rock/hip-hop genre (no offense to Limp Bizkit, of course). Now, four years after Meteora, the boys are back with a brand new studio album. But I’ve changed, I have moved on, as I’m sure that many others in my age group have. I’m about to graduate high school, to take my life in a different direction, and all of a sudden, my childhood is resurfacing in a final uproar of closure to a chapter of my life. That is why this disc is so pivotal to music lovers worldwide. Here is a band that essentially set the ground rules for the new generation of hard rock back in the day (not too long ago, really), and they have released a new album after the world’s tastes have inevitably evolved. And, so has the band itself. Minutes to Midnight is, in general, a lower-tempo record, combining elements of bands they have in fact influenced with their own distinctive style. The album starts off just like it would be expected to; indeed, “Wake” and “Given Up” are two relatively typical loud screaming rock tunes which recall elements of the band’s earlier success. They then shift gears, rather joltingly, with “Leave Out All The Rest,” the first of many atypical rock ballads to come. Next comes “Bleed It Out” which should immediately recall “Faint” in its fast-pace and hip-hop verses. Mike Shinoda’s voice is a welcome presence in this track, in an album that, for the most part, doesn’t include his rapping talents. “Shadow of the Day” is perhaps the most epic and beautiful gem on this album, with its sweet and somber chorus. This song reminds us all that change isn’t necessarily a bad thing, and it nice to hear the band stepping out of its comfort zone and still making great music. “What I’ve Done” instantly reminds me of “Somewhere I Belong,” in that I like it more every time I hear it. Honestly, I was a little disappointed with the song at first, but I have come to accept it as an integral part of the Linkin Park Catalogue. “Hands Held High” sounds like an unused Fort Minor Ballad, like a B-side to “Where’d You Go.” Again, Mike Shinoda impresses the observant listener with his numerous different talents. Later on, he shows off his skills as a fine singer in the low-energy “In Between.” Contrastingly, “No More Sorrow” and “In Pieces” show a more conventional, almost emo (in a good way) side of the band. Staying true to their original style, and adding elements of currently popular music, the band proves to their audience that they can age with grace and evolve at their own pace. This album may alienate a lot of people who expect another Meteora, another follow-up to Hybrid Theory. Because this is not the record of a band that wants to appease its fans; rather, they want to challenge their followers, defy conventions, and explore new territory, regardless of the risks these tactics entail. And yes, Minutes to Midnight falls short of its expectations; naturally, it had to (Sure, “Valentines Day” is kind of a bore, I’ll admit it). Overall, this is a softer record, and those expecting a Shinoda-driven rap/rock combo will not find it here. I guess the fans should have seen this coming; Linkin Park has covered all edges of the musical spectrum: Hybrid Theory and Meteora were heavy rock albums that featured hip-hop flair and subtle DJ stylings, Re-Animation introduced a huge array of electronic/techno possibilities, and Collision Course fused hard rock and hip hop into one cohesive medium. The only thing missing from this kaleidoscope is a slower, anthemic rock album, and Minutes To Midnight delivers just that. Predictions: -“Bleed It Out” will be hugely popular, almost on the level that “Faint” and “Numb” are currently on. -“Shadow of the Day” will be used on a cheesy moment in Gray’s Anatomy, and will thus become overplayed, diminishing the value of the song.
I cant beleive what I am hearing.....
This is utter poop. Not just regular poop. Like a baby who ate curry flavored chilli poop. Whats the point in listening to musicians who cant maintain their own defining creativity. There isnt one. These guys used to be a signature act. Now they are just a carbon copy of the rest of the musical corporate animal that is out to turn a greenback not contribute to an art the saves lives everyday. The only good thing I will say about this album is that Linkin finally put out a long enough album to warrant the price tag. To bad its just not Linkin Park when the record spins. But dont worry the name seems to be enough to sell records. Out of mourning for the death of the REAL Linkin Park I am gonna give this 2 stars. But it doesnt merit it at all. I am not happy about this album.
