What Do You Guys Think About The New LP Album?

Hey Everyone

I just finished listening to the new Linkin Park album ( minutes to Midnight). Although all in all i think its a fairly decent album, albeit with some serious low points (Valentines Day WTF???).

I may not have liked it as much as their previous albums, but there are a few tracks which i enjoyed

1)Given Up
2)Leave Out All The Rest
3)In Pieces
4)The Little Things Give You Away
5)Shadow Of The Day

Also, is it me or are there too many Slow songs on this cd? And isnt the intro to shadow of the day exactly the same as a NIN song (Cant Recall the name:o )

I would like to know what you guys think. In in your opinion(s) , is this a step in the right direction for the band?

Yeah thats actually not a bad song, but ive liked some lp songs that werent made into singles better than this, but then this album is almost nearly different.

I love the CD. Took me about a dozen listens to get used to it mind you. Its quite different from their previous work but I believe its a step in the right direction. They definatley borrowed a lot of ideas from other bands ( NIN, Deftones ect; ) but in the end its still LP.

It has its slow moments but it also has some of the heaviest music they've ever done, and their are several guitar solos throughout the album. I mean "No More Sorrow" has some fairly heavy riffs for LP.

I think the main thing they accomplished in this album is that they have moved away from the "nu metal" brand. No one was expecting a "Hybrid Theory part III" and with this Cd they are far harder to label and seem to have developed a sound of their own we always knew they were capable of.

U know what youre absolutely right about the heavy stuff theyve done.

Maybe after a few listens ill start to appreciate it more to. Some songs do take longer to catch on.

Yeah man, like I said give it awhile to grow on you. I really didn't care for it that much the first listen through, but after listening to their old stuff (Meteora specifically) I was somehow drawn back to MTM. Now I can't stop listening to it! :p

The new album is ok, hopefully it doesn't get ruined by a remix/rerelease like they did with the other albums cause I actually like Linkin Park

I loved Hybrid Theory and Meteora, but I was destroyed when I heard What I've Done, when unreleased tracks like Qwerty came out I had great hope for their new album. I hate it.

Given Up is the only good song on the entire album. Even the single sucks!

It's MALLCORE. The real metal contains big guitar solos.

Yeah, indeed.

Metallica are my favorite band, but they suck now.

The old trivium have good power solos.

A little late to the party, I suppose... does the bass line in the "quiet" parts of Given Up remind anyone else of the bass line in the song "Degenerated", as performed by the Lone Rangers in the movie Airheads? Listen to the bass in the part where Brendan Frasier is singing the song's verse.

Also, "Shadows..." REALLY sounds like something U2 would put out. Overall, the new LP is pretty good, in my opinion.

metallica does not suck now. i think the new album had a little too much rap in it, and that they shouldve stuck with their old style. everyone is selling out these days

Their newest album wasn't selling out, it was them sober :p
