Aug 10, 2014Solid album. It is not as good as Hybrid Theory and Meteora but not a bad album. If you liked the other albums you might thing this is a change in style but after hearing the album a few times you will notice that it is still Linkin Park.

Apr 15, 2016It's simpler than their other works but I really like it. I love how there are calm songs like "The Little Things Give You Away", "In Between" and "Shadow Of The Day" which are really different than HT's and Meteora's songs. Not their best album but for me it is very meaningful.
-
DanMJun 3, 2009I actually really liked it. I'm glad they decided to change their sound, I mean, you can't use the nu-metal sound forever, people would eventually get bored of it. Some really good sounding songs here. My favourites are "Shadow Of The Day" and "The Little Things Give You Away".

Jan 13, 2012Its a shame to see LP go Pop but it works out for them well. There are quite a few good songs on this album and I would suprisingly recommend this album.

Most of minutes to midnights singles was featured in Transformers, then one was featured in Twilight, I think that Linkin Parks albums are great, but the album exclusives are there best works, nevertheless, this album as a whole is very good. -
RanelGMar 30, 2010This is an excellent album, listen to it. The haters here on this site just hate this album because they don't like Linkin Park's music. They accuse us LP fans of having poor taste in music, well what do you guys listen to? Exactly.

DarcyCFeb 20, 2010Bleed it out is probably their best song ever. given up and valentines day are good but what I've done and leave out all the rest are boring.

tashaFeb 27, 2009I loved it, yes different type of direction from the last ones, but all good. great album, people change over years and so do their tastes.

BryanWDec 23, 2009Personally, I think it's good for them to (partly) change their genre as what they showed in this album. I was never moved that much by Linkin Park music as the first time I listened to "Shadow of the day". Hope to have more chances to enjoy this kind of music from them.

DeepeshB.Jul 16, 2009There is no problem linkin park changing genre....its just that in minutes to midnight they showed the people their lyrical depth....as far as political shift is concerned....even people`s beloved green day has also been rebuking the system...capacity crowds in minutes to midnight tour proves dat people loved their third album too.

Jan 2, 2014Best album by Linkin Park. Many good songs, some of their best (Shadow Of The Day), less rap and rock sound. Unfortunately it is just an exception in a series of album that I don't like.

RyanS.May 21, 2007"Minutes to Midnight" is a good album, though, not necessarily a great one. The first 6 or so tracks are top-notch; each has simple yet meaningful lyrics, sly production, and impressive vocal work. Unfortunately, as the album unfolds, the later-tunes tend to drag, and dare I say, bore.

andrehMay 20, 2007ladies and gentlemen....i hate to burst your bubble, but we dont own linkin park. this is their music. this is the only cd in like a year that i have become excited about. music in genral is declining, we all need to take a step back.

SammyRJun 10, 2007Fuck any one person that says they hate this perfect album! The Rolling Stone is right/ they tried to change their sound and they did it perfectly! New Musical express and NOW are such dooshbags, they can suck everybody who made comments here's dick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
-
AaronMJun 2, 2007These people giving the album a "0," are pretty pathetic. It's one thing to dislike an album, but to straight up trash it is childish. Anyway, the albums actually pretty good if you listen to it more than once (maybe 3 or 4 times). With such a radical change, it takes awhile to sink in. Good Job LP!

AkshayilovelpJun 5, 2007very very interesting some of the songs are old lp and some are a new style rapcore was getting old and well this is a gr8 sound.

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
-
-
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.

NeilLMay 16, 2007This is actually becoming my favorite Linkin Park album pretty fast. Don't listen to these critics. It's an enjoyable, great album to kick off the summer with.

OmarKMay 17, 2007Well... the album is different but this doesn't mean it's not very good. After a couple of playbacks, you'll find it quite amusing and deep

KyleKMay 17, 2007After being a devout Linkin Park follower for the last few years, I am convinced that this is their best album ever. Sure, they went a completely different direction with this one, but I am glad to see that they don't have to scream to make great music. I am sure that they will probably return to their old sound in the future, but I am mesmerized by this fantastic album.

MartinPMay 24, 2007Once you get past the initial shock of how much they've changed, you'll discover that this is an excellent, excellent album.

RichardOMay 24, 2007This album is not as hard as the previous one but it is still an excellant album. The lyrics are reli gud and a change in style is always good. 10/10 for this album any day.... Linkin Park is the best band ive heard
-
-
TimBJun 1, 2007Some of these reviews are just plain funny. Mainly because the (professional) reviewers contradict themselves. They say MTM isn't as good as their other albums, which is strange, because if I remember correctly, they've always hated LP. Don;t listen to their biased bullshit this album is really enjoyable if you just give it a chance.
-
-
NickCJun 14, 2007They've changed their sound, but I like it. At first it didn't sound all that good - but it definitely grew on me. Great album, imho..

TraceAJun 1, 2007Any fan of Linkin Park will honestly tell you this album is there best. It almost matches Hybrid Theory.

B.AlianoJun 18, 2007I can understand why fans are complaining. The genre is altered a little bit. Linkin Park really changes, but hey, changes are good, and is not really like a change, but more like an improvement and a new style. To be honest, this album isn't the best from LP. But it's still close enough from excellent.

AustinMJun 7, 2007It will disappoint the old LP fans because they resolved their daddy issues and write songs that go much deeper than the previous albums that are loaded with teenage angst. "Minutes" is definately one to listen to 3 or 4 times before making up your mind. All in all, probably my favorite album so far this year...
-

ALeeJun 7, 2007I think this is a great album from the band. They have matured and I love the new sounds they have made for the new material

ChiiNJun 8, 2007OMGG I Love Linkin Park~!! Their new album is so cool~! I have "What I've Done" playing in my head/or ipod 24/7 I still love "Somewhere I Belong~!"

SidSJul 20, 2007It is a great change LP have brought to themselves.I liked Hybrid Theory,Meteora was great.But MTM is very very different.This Album consists of variety of genres.Bleed it out,What ive done,Shadow of the Day and Leave out all the rest are the key tracks of the album and these are the tracks that got MTM a 7 from me.

tylerJul 3, 2007it was a very great album.. the style was different but i enjoyed it very much so. i watched an interview on the band and they were saying that they were sick of the same sound.. many bands have replicated their old sound and they wanted something new..and i agree. great album.

peterJul 30, 2007Great sounding album, It's a step back to old fashioned song making in the form of ballads and I have no problem with that

DamianAug 20, 2007It's an OK album but it's nowhere as good as Meteora or Hybrid Theory.
-
-
BethB.Aug 30, 2007There's a reason why the critics are sitting at computer terminals and Linkin Park are out filling stadiums and arenas. They are musicians and they do their particular brand of music very very well.

JustynG.Mar 26, 2008This is the absolute best album I have ever heard and anyone who say Linkin Park is not music must either be deaf or or have an IQ of 50 or lower Linkin Park is the greatest band of all time and more people should realize that..

GavinM.Nov 20, 2007Me I'm a hard core linkin park fan and i stick by them no matter whot they do this album actually brought a nice change as it has some light hearted songs compared to thier previous works of art the onli song i dont like is 'No More Sorrow' as it stands out fro.m the rest when they sed they would blend them all together plus its too heavy for this album

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.
-
-
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.
-
-
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
-
-
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.
-
-
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!

DanAMay 17, 2007Very impressive new direction, hard to compare with the last two albums. the album has a heavier and darker feel. i love the album. coldplay wtf??? similar to deftones or even ffaf in my opinion. love in pieces, in between, valentines day
-
-
chrsMay 18, 2007At 1st i was disappointed as the last 2 albums have been excellent and i loved thier rap rock style. but the more i have listened to this album the more it has grown on me. their are a few songs i have to skip but most off them will be added to my play list. still i would love another album like hybrid theory
-
-
ArpadCMay 18, 2007Being a Linkin Park fan for almost 5 years, I'm so glad that they are brave and try to live up to a higher level. Yes, this album is no rap-metal/nu-metal, but is more mature and deeply-emotional. The lyrics are critical for social, political, and environmental issues. I'm very proud of you, Linkin Park, so keep going!!!
-
-
MimiKMay 19, 2007This cd is amazing; no matter what you critics say, this band has put their upmost effort and love into the making of this cd and have been honest to their band's motivations and standings. If this can't be admired, then you critics just don't have any f'ing loyalty.
-
-
DanArtzMay 19, 2007The professional reviews are an outrage. This record proves to easily be Linkin Park's greatest album. The record might not cling to any genres. However, instead it uses every rock genre to show it's own true potential. I respect their move and I highly disagree with Linkin Park copying a band as shitty as u2
-
-
KatAMay 19, 2007its different but its good. the more i listen to it the more i like it. and to the people saying that they sound like fall out boy... fall out boy is actually good. you would know this if you actually listened to them. i hate people that say they hate a band and have never even listened to more than one of their songs. and this cd sounds more like U2 than fall out boy.
-
-
CarlBMay 19, 2007Minutes to midnight shows linkin park trying to progress, much in the same way bands like incubus have. Seemingly Ditching there more metal roots for an alt. rock sound and whilst minutes to midnight shows a step in that direction it doesnt compare to previous efforts. There is a great deal of potention on this album which is let down by an overall poor production value.
-
-
TimJMay 19, 2007Great album from top to bottom Don't listen to the musically challenged reviews. The quality of the music is far better then what they have done before.
-
-
JohnPMay 21, 2007why do people say this album's horrible? it's not the old linkin park, but the guitarist has improved a LOT and it's a very ecletic album. a couple hard songs and some great radio-friendly songs. best songs are in pieces and TLTGYA

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.
