AronJMay 30, 2007There was only about two decenct songs on this album, I think they just ran out of what they were once, the sound is just redundant and the lyrics are poor.

Jan 29, 2011This is crap compared to the previous 2 linkin park albums. There are three good songs on the album [What I've Done, Bleed It Out and No More Sorrow]. This is very bad compared to every song on hybrid theory being AMAZING and almost the same for Meteora. Just download the three i mentioned.

ashikauMay 30, 2007I always loved LP..When I hear their sond like Papercut,Pnts of Auright,Crawing and many songs from Meteora they gav me a feeling which I never get from another band.But with this album 'Minutes to Midnite' LP has lost their identity.They sound like typical rock band..I

ErnieMMay 30, 2007I like it when a band tries to expand and experiment and I applaud the effort but this album is a dismal failure. They experimented to sound like nothing more than a number of boring bands already out there!

johnsJun 7, 2007linkin park? i cant imagine anyone older than 15 listening to them. 2 ok songs on the cd but thats it. shame.

JasonL.Jul 17, 2007I give it a 1 for the cool way the cd flexed past 45 degrees before it shattered.

IhateLinkinPmorethanOsamaBinLadenJul 25, 2007the WORST BAND EVER in the history of music, and i've heard winger, nickelback, and milli vanilli too.

MMJul 30, 2007Long-time LP fan... ex-fan now. This is an HORRIBLE CD: all that sound that made LP to be "Linkin Park" has disappeared in an ocean of pop tunes! Terribly bad CD.

tenchuzAug 4, 2007what the hell they went from kick ass to kick the can whats wrong with their lives now? the CD bites because i said so and thats my opinion and whats with the radio friendly shit anyways? GET REAL JOBS & LEAVE SINGING TO THE PROS YOU KNOCK OFFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

StiffyTApr 1, 2010Terrible listen. Perhaps the only thing worse than this album is the ego of the band members. In 2010, a brave Shinoda claims that LP's new album will be so great, they will need a new genre name for it. "Poor" would be quite fitting.

jeremyhMay 16, 2007nothing spectacular, and a far cry from the Linkin Park we have known and grown to love.
-
-
ZooTrainMay 17, 2007I love how people are surprised that this album is terrible. Linkin Park has always been awful...
-
-
JoshWMay 17, 2007Here we go another Metallica trying to make a "change" in their sound. It SUCKS! Hope they get horrible reviews and go back to Hybrid Theory style.

RichPMay 18, 2007Linkin Park were always terrible!!! This is the worst album I have ever heard.
-
-
ChrisMMay 18, 2007They've certainly lost their unique original style, and in turn have produced something much less desirable. Some of the songs may be deep, but the presentation and sound is completely different from what Linkin Park produced years ago. They've changed their style for the worse.
-
-
BronJMay 19, 2007Bad. Sounds like there's way too much 'Fort Minor' in the music yet not enough of Mike Shinoda. Their stuff on the other CDs mighta been cheesy but at least it works. They try to be so different here and it just sounds bad. Where is the RAP METAL that we all know and love?!!?
-
-
fucklpMay 24, 2007this band just sucks. and they're back with another another shitty album. the end of linkin park!
-
-
JeremyIMay 26, 2007Their best album was Hybrid Theory hands down, this..well this isn't that, they tried to mature but they went for the worse.
-
-
RobertNMay 26, 2007A HUGE disappointment. I love LP and I enjoyed every single track on Hybrid Theory and Meteora. I thought that this was going to be gold and now I am looking for any way to sell this CD. Their songs have lost the energy and the flavor that made them so popular. While I did enjoy "What I've Done," most everything else is just garbage. I really hope this is just a phase....really, really.

ChrisB.Jun 30, 2007A 2 because I know it's work to actually record an album. But man, there's absolutely no creativity here. Bar chords are an embarassment. Even the quality of the recording sucks.
-
-
PaulKJun 7, 2007The whole album is a huge disappointment. I found only three tracks worthy of keeping on my computer and none worthy of my ipod. They have changed to sound more like the horrible pop we hear all the time on the radio.

JosephP.May 6, 2008I used to love linkin park, hybrid theory and meteora were epic as was Collision Course...but this just sucked, the only song i liked was Bleed It Out because it was catchy, they need to go back to their roots.

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

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

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

QiangMay 19, 2007The album is stupid. Hey above! You should try some shit to eat. You may love it! And after the meal, plz give a "10" and two thumbs to it.

DennisWMay 21, 2007This is awful.......Linkin Park has jumped from one trend to another, They've always been devoid of any organic sound and any depth, and they try too hard for both here. The paint by numbers music of the past has been replaced by scribble.
-
-
ClaySMay 22, 2007Track #6 is the midpoint on a slide from mediocre Linkin Park to simply unlistenable. I would rather listen to Barry Manilo then the last 6 tracks. couldnt even pawn this thing off to a hardcore Linkin Park fan for $5!
-
-
JackLMay 20, 2007They were "ok" before. I got a fair amount of enjoyment out of Hybrid Theory and Metora, but enough is enough. They're just playing the same old songs but with different notes. Time to branch out a little, and maybe read a book or two so you can write some intelligent lyrics.

ToddWMay 24, 2007My children think these guys are gods. And you would hope that having Rick Rubin behind the board would bring out the best in these schizophrenic songsters. Uh, nope. They still suck. It just goes to prove the old adage that you really can't make chicken cordon bleu out of guano.

MaarMay 27, 2007This CD is utter garbage. Makes an ok drink coaster for my computer desk.
-
-
KevinCMay 28, 2007I've been a LP fan since the beginning, and this is absolute crap. The only track worth listening to is Bleed it Out. They tried to do something different but ended up sounding like every crappy alternative rock band out there. nothing interesting going on. why did I buy this?

RichSMay 29, 2007As someone who's loved LP for as long as they've been around, and even counting the days until the CD was released, but all this CD makes me do is laugh at how bad they sound because they went from good rock/rap emo to something that just sucks.

JonMJun 6, 2007Complete and total garbage. It is nothing but Emo trash. The whole album is a total rip-off, especially the political remarks. Wow, maybe they should tour with System of a Down and spew that cliche, mindless garbage together. They are just sell-outs to the Emo and anti-war cultures. Total disappointment.

EricC.Aug 14, 2007Heard the whole thing with my brother in his car. God awful. It's like all they are trying to do is end up in a soundtrack for a Michael Bay movie (which they did). One horrible rock ballad after another. They try so hard to be thoughtful and emotional, but ends up being a sob session for guys who probably realize they suck, and just want someone, anyone, so like them.

sarisc.Aug 2, 2007progression. reinvention. evolution. linkin park is unessential. this album is imitation. it is filth that dulls the minds of the many who listen to it. we as a human race must evolve past this garbage. or remain stupid. and continue to de-evolve.

joelWJun 11, 2008Soooo disappointing! i wanted a album just like meteora or hybrid theory, something to rock out to. they dropped the rapper for the most part, put way less special effects in there, and put in enough ballods to make anyone bored to death. i hope that they can bring back the fire of there old albums in their next album.

OlegV.Jul 29, 2009When previous their albums was almost listenable this one is really a piece of sh*t.
-

TimD.Dec 2, 2007Two points for the two songs that sound like what Linkin Park fans actually want, (notably the two released singles) The rest of the points are lost to the Nickleback/Limp Biskit mashups that make up the rest of the songs (notably, the ones NOT released as the singles...) The new sound is weak, and the proof is in how they hide it with the two "old style" singles.

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
-
-
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.
-
-
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
-
-
MaxMay 16, 2007I just don't know what happens!??! It's not Likin Park anymore, I almost though it was U2 sometimes...Very bad, what can I say more...The single wasn't that bad but the rest of the album is just terrible, there are maybe 2 or maximum 3 highlights and that's it, the rest of the album is just good for garbage...Sorry guys, Meteora was way much better!
-
-
FredTMay 17, 2007You'd have to be some kind of idiot, or a teenager, or both, to take any of this band's output seriously.
-
-
CrisMay 18, 2007Give me a break. Usually first impressions and guess are correct. So, if you had to play it over and over again to like it, go back to your first time listening to it, when you said, "Man, this sucks."

JasonHMay 22, 2007Linkin Park changed for the worse. Not even close to what LP sounded like and built their fanbase on in the past. Just terrible...

alexfJul 25, 2007I love Linkin Park because they are so creative but this album was anything but that. I am so disappointed. A HUGE let down. It just might be the worst album of the summer.
-
-
JamesC.Aug 13, 2007Chester Bennington tries to break away from being Shinoda's sidekick, and fails miserably. The album is trash, i'm glad I didn't buy it the first day it came out, because that'd be one of the most expensive coasters i've ever bought. Next time i'm craving some Linkin Park, i'll queue up "The Rising Tied".

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.
