jasontMay 16, 2007this is worse than the kevin federline record. a 0/0 is still too high for an atrocious record like this one.

MikeNMay 16, 2007This album was not what I was expecting but it ain't that bad. The Bush bash was welcome but too cliché for my taste. Their weakest album but still ok.

JosephWMay 15, 2007Linkin Park have redefined themselves in a much more melodic and mature way. Rick Rubin has managed to capture the 'raw' sound of LP on this CD, and has allowed LP to step up to a higher level.

Air1MMay 15, 2007Bottomline....The album is Intense with melody! Beware!!! There is a fake promo floating around for those downloaders. So Im sure many of the naysayers are hearing the fake. This one is Linkin Park and yes with rap, intense screaming and crunching metal riffs!!!! There are a a few ballads but its perfect for variety! I asure all readers this one is their best!

AndrewNMay 15, 2007It will grow on me. I am not that impressed for all the recording time the said that they did. The album seems more emotional than their last albums, but I wish that it had some heavier songs.

MattFMay 15, 2007I waited a long time for this album and i just don't know what happened. "What i've done was amazing and after hearing the sinlge on the radio i was expecting new but great things. This was not what i expected. Its like re-animation all over again please no more.

CJBMay 15, 2007I thought this album was really a leap forward for LP and shows how they're willing to redefine their style for future albums.

mikemMay 15, 2007rip linkin park. This is soft mellow pop/soft rock. Everything that made lp great is now gone to mainstream garbage that you hear every day on the radio. R.I.P. - you guys were the best

rafaelcMay 15, 2007i actually like the album most of the songs are great, i just like hybrid theory and meteora better because i like those kind of music, theres not lots of heavy tracks and also i think linkin park was trying to please the critics more instead of the fans....i hope that that linkin parkwill make another album but a mix of this kind of songs and their old ones..linkinPARK RuLEs

KeoTMay 15, 2007Two good songs on it. The rest just plain stink. At least I have something to throw at my cat now. They could have rocked without going boring.

TuanLMay 15, 2007It may be different, but after a few listens, you'll find that there is much depth in the lyrics and that this effort, although not what we all expected, has shown growth and maturity in the band's sound.

BrentAMay 15, 2007I am fairly dissapointed with "Minutes to Midnight". They abandoned their old style and it just doesn't sound like them anymore. I also don't like how they've used more explicit content and Bush Bash.

-
nicbMay 15, 2007I believe that linkin park has left their hybrid theory and meteora fans behind in alienation. Their new cd is weak and should only be heard in elevators. I only hope that the pleas of the LPU nation will be heard. I miss my old linkin park.

ScottTMay 15, 2007What is going on? I know bands progress and people grow up, but this is ridiculous. The first tune sounds like something a high school band put together in their garage. I have nothing against them taking steps forward and chaning who they are, but this is a drastic, drastic step in a weird direction. You will not get rocked out, just lulled to sleep to a place of emo-wannabe dreams

ChrisHMay 15, 2007The album is not very good. Too much singing. There isn't a good favorite on the cd. I hope it becomes an aquired taste.

bryonmMay 14, 2007this band is just plain terrible.

-
KayKayMay 14, 2007Maybe not their best album, but a good change. A record to be enjoyed more and more, each time you listen to it.

decklinwMay 14, 2007no more rap-rock.... instead they give you half-baked emo-rock! gimps

v1nc3May 13, 2007I think the CD is good, the rapping from Mike Shinoda is missed a lot in the album. Making this LP album cliche and similar to the other rock bands out there.

[Anonymous]May 12, 2007Definately not their best material.

TylerMay 12, 2007Trash. But what did you expect?
-
-
JohnnyBMay 11, 2007Although a much different style to the other linkin park albums, this lives up to the high expectation presented by the other 2. The first thing to notice is the lack of rapping, but this is made up by the quality of it one the few tracks that this is included and the overall quality of the album

Awards & Rankings
-
The California rap-rockers are stymied by their decision to stay roughly within the shrieky boundaries of their genre (albeit with less emphasis on the rap).
-
Amid the stabs at growth, every new effect sounds borrowed.
-
As you might imagine, the band’s emo makeover doesn’t always go smoothly.
