Chester is dead and it hurts to say and know this. I grew up listening to Linkin Park and I'm saddened by his death.

I've always had a soft spot for this album and never understood why people hated it. Bleed it Out was my favorite song for a while. Now I'll never get to hear them play it live. We'll miss ya Chester, you did a good thing for music. Say hi to Chris Cornell for me.

💯💯💯

After 2 massive albums. Linkin Park's 'Minutes to Midnight' is different from the albums that made them successful. It's a bit soft with "Leave Out All the Rest" & "In Between", Mike's rapping is almost absent on this album, & it's feels more like an alternative rock album instead of a nu metal. But dang this is still a great album! It may not be the best Linkin Park, but it's still an enjoyable listen, songs on here are more political than anything you saw the band do before 'A Thousand Suns'. Chester's vocals on here are still as amazing as you'd expect & when Mike raps, he does it amazingly. Don't let people's comments like "Sell out!" or "SOFT!" get to you, cause it may not be the nu metal album the fans wanted, it's still a rocking album.

One of my favorites from them and I listen to it and sing those words often for years. I'm a bit angry that he killed himself. I haven't got to see them live yet and this year I planned on front row. His vocals are amazing and I know their more amazing live without even witnessing it. What a tragedy. Hope to see you in heaven.

Peace and love. 🌹🎈❤️✨🌞

This album changed my life forever

Every song is amazing. One of the greatest bands.

Solid album, just wished they rocked out for an extra track two or three lol

"When I here Mike I feel like a dozen little butterflies pop up in a song and I wonder does Mike sleep in a cocoon? I LOVE U MIKE" my five year old said this and I had to post it

I swear this was their last great album. It does not beat Meteora or Hybrid Theory, but it was a great album in my opinion.

I don't care if it's different it's good let them do what they want and it's good so just because it's different stop saying it's bad

This is where it all began, folks. After two nu metal albums that began to get predictable, this album marks the start of the diverse, unpredictable Linkin Park we know and love today. They have so much fresh, creative energy that no song on this album sounds like any other, with Given Up and No More Sorrow sounding as close as it gets. Those two songs sandwich an unforgettable batch of tracks that gave LP the most radio success of their career to date. Unfortunately, after No More Sorrow, the quality of the songs drops off considerably.

Although not as cohesive and well-rounded as their later releases, Minutes to Midnight has many standout tracks, is the most diverse LP album, and defines the band's diverse musicality.

TAKE THIS ALL AAWWAAYYY IM SUFFACATING TELL ME WHAT THE F**K IS WRONG WITH MEEEE

I love this album I remember when I heard "What I've Done" in this album and when I first watch the music video as well I don't have a favorite song I just Love all of the tracks in Minutes to Midnight.

WHAT IVE DONE!

one of my favorite albums!

The little things give you away is by far the best song they've written

Why do some of the songs sound completely different? I was a little disappointed with the shadow of the day sounds. If iTunes is responsible for changing up some of the melodies they really need to stop. It sounds like cheesy remake.

This is a great cd. LP at its best. Great lyrics and sound. They put out some of the best music that has rock with rap thrown together to make a real deal group. LP this is the way to do it. Keep it up just like this. Buy!

Not meteora, not Hybrid, a new direction but a safe haven (though they should have been more careful before straying even farther away on the next few albums despite 1000 Suns is also great).With Rick Rubin on bored, the sound is going to be as lifelike as it can possibly get. One thing that was alittle dissapointing was less of Mike's raps, only about 20%. Though his verses in 'Hands Held High' is probably the best he will ever write. Of course 'Shadow of the Day' 'What I've Done', and 'Leave Out All The Rest' some of the biggest radio hits for this band are here as well. But there is more to it than that. The best songs I think were not singles. Check it out.

Excellent sequel to Meteora.

I ran into the song "Valentine's day on the Internet, thought it was good, now Linkin park is my favorite band, and this is my favorite album.

1) Valentine's Day

2) Hands Held High

3) What I've Done

4) Shadow of the day

5) In Between

I miss the old Linkin Park.

Awesome just awesome please do not stop making music

One of my best albums

A majority of this album seems like mike was just trying to fill in the blanks "Given Up" could pass for a Rage Against the Machine single and "Shadow of the Day" is like Nine Days only in 2007... over all this ws a dissapointing album

The best album ever by linkin park by far so if your looking into getting it i would its worth way more than 10.99

Great album and the song "what I've done" has always been my favorite linkin park song.

linkin park has been my favorite band since i was a sixth grader, when they dropped their first single "crawling"..linkin park forever!!!!!

This album is one of the best of LP in my opinion along with Meteora and Hybrid Theory. I reccomend songs 3-7 they are the best in this album. The rest are OK, but songs 3-7 will really blow your mind

Here is my track-by-track review:

1. Wake (1:41) - This is an instrumental, so I won't count it in the actual ratings. A good instrumental, though.

2. Given Up (3:09) - This song is fantastic. I'm sure many "Hybrid Theory" and "Meteora" fans listened to the first song on the album and went, "What do they mean, a big change from the previous albums? This is awesome!" The 17 second long scream by Chester is amazing; easily his best work. 10/10

3. Leave Out All The Rest (3:29) - This is the first real ballad LP ever released, and you can say most people were stunned. Some hated it, some loved it, some were indifferent. Me, I'm indifferent. I like it, but it's a bit repetitive and after the fast glee of "Given Up" this one doesn't seem as good in comparison. I used to really really like it when I heard it, so maybe I'm sick of it now. But, I will listen to it from time to time. 7/10

4. Bleed It Out (2:44) - For the people who say "At least 'Given Up,' No More Sorrow' and 'Bleed it Out' are like their previous two albums," you're wrong. "Given Up" and "No More Sorrow" may be, but "Bleed It Out" definitely isn't. It has one continuous guitar riff, whereas in "Meteora" we would have heard a bone-crushing power chord. Maybe people think it's like the previous two albums because of the screaming. OK, sorry for the ranting. It's a pretty good song; Mike's rapping is great. 8/10

5. Shadow Of The Day (4:49) - This song is... Different. Yes, Chester's vocals are extremely beautiful, but the whole song is literally one sound on loop until 3 minutes in. Then it gets slightly better, but not much. And the last 40 seconds is just some weird organ playing at 1% volume in the background... Can you say pointless? But, as I said again, Chester's vocals are a major redeeming quality... It just seems as though LP went a little overboard with the ballads on this one. 6/10

6. What I've Done (3:26) - This lead single could've been better, but definitely wasn't bad. It really is a mix of everything LP had done so far. The chorus reminds me of "Meteora," the bridge of "Hybrid Theory," and the whole song sounds like it had bits and pieces of "Leave Out All The Rest" mixed into it. So, I applaud them for that. 8/10

7. Hands Held High (3:53) - This song is just amazing. Period. I cannot believe LP is capable of something like this and doesn't do it more often. If you think this is just another stupid ballad, listen to the lyrics. They will change your life. 10/10

8. No More Sorrow (3:41) - Wow, two great songs in a row! "No More Sorrow" has over a minute of complete rocking instrumentals. Then it goes into the verse, then the chorus, which is great, as is the bridge. If you're feeling to rock out or feel mad, just listen to this song! 10/10

9. Valentine's Day (3:16) - Ah, we were going so great! This song is OK... At best. It can be boring and repetitive for sure, but the lyrics do mean more than you think they do, and the song improves when Chester goes into his yelling of "On Valentine's Day!" But still, it's definitely nothing special, but not unlistenable. 6/10

10. In Between (3:16) - This is the first song Mike sang on his own, and man, is it hella boring! Mike is a great singer, but he doesn't show his range in this song. Plus it's maybe two or three very quiet instruments. At least the lyrics and the melody in the chorus is decent. 4/10

11. In Pieces (3:38) - I love this song! Every thirty seconds or so, a new instrument is added! The song slowly builds until it's a full-out awesome song. Plus, Chester's lyrics and melodies are great. 10/10

12. The Little Things Give You Away (6:23) - This is a very good soft song, obviously rightly dissing George W. Bush and giving sympathy for the people caught in the Katrina storm. My only complaint-- WAY too long. 9/10

Average Rating: 8/10--four stars

Overall, "Minutes To Midnight" was definitely a change, but a successful one for the most part! A must-buy. If you only want to get a few songs, here's the songs ranked in order of which you should buy the most to least:

1. Given Up

2. Hands Held High

3. No More Sorrow

4. In Pieces

^^^The 10/10's--must buys

5. The Little Things Give You Away

^^^The 9/10--A very good choice

6. Bleed It Out

7. What I've Done

^^^The 8/10's--worth the money

8. Leave Out All The Rest

^^^The 7/10-- I guess I wouldn't un-recommend it.

9. Shadow Of The Day

10. Valentine's Day

^^^The 6/10's-- I wouldn't recommend it, although you may find something in them.

11. In Between

^^^The 4/10-- You shouldn't get this song.

Hoped this helped :)

I love LP, but the new albums are total bullshxt. Hybrid Theory and Meteora are the greatest things ever. I like the messages but the instrumentals are horrible. Still LP is 4w3s0m3

They are giving us new sounds by each albums so we don't get bored with the same sound by the first two albums. So enjoy it, or hate it. Its all up to you what your ears enjoy.

This album is just too much good. People don't know it.

Shadow Of The Day and Leave Out All The Rest...my favorite LP songs. They are Wonderful songs. Enough said.

Given Up

Bleed It Out

No More Sorrow

In Pieces

The Little Things You Give Away

Just too good.

I cant stand LP now days they had 2 good ablums thats it after hybrid theroy and meatora this band has gone down hill

that old sound is gone ...

Even after Linkin Park dropping a new album, this is still the best so far.

This album is so amazing, Great job linkin park keep it up :)

Ditching the Nu-Metal Idea was the biggest mistake LINKIN PARK has ever done to there music caree this album was a let down and dissapointment only 2 songs that i like were "Bleed it out" and '" Given Up" this album was nothing like both hybrid theory or Meteora, Hybrid Theory and Meteora was there biggest saleing albums and by far there best albums, there old style mixed with hip hop and nu metal is what made me liked them and there music, btw both HBT and Meteora they did have that hip hop style there as well i dont know why they decided to change smh i really do miss what LINKIN PARK use to sound like and use to be i hope one day they go back to there roots

I think L.P. Is PURE gold!! <3 <3 <3 "what I've done" !!!

This song is so good it helps me get through my tough times.

If you came here to download the versions on the radio, this is NOT it. They have been "remastered". I came specifically for "Shadow of the Day" for a project I'm working on, and while the vocals sound the same, the music is heavily synthesized to the point I cannot enjoy it. I wish they'd offer the NON remastered version as well. I went elsewhere to download my song, and it sounds just like I remembered. I don't know how the other ones sound, as I came here specifically for the one song but "Shadow" is horribly different. Just...buyer beware.

It's a great album and at least one of the best so screw off Beatles

My childhood XD

Like this album soo much I bought it twice.

Albums like these are why Linkin Park is my favorite band

Great songs w/ good lyrics. love this album!

My favorite song is easily What I've Done. I like it when they actually sing meaningful lyrics with a great tune instead of just mindless yelling although even they can make that sound good. My favorite LP songs are

What I've Done

In the End

Numb

Lost in the Echo

A Light that Never Comes

I love this album

One of the best rock albums of all times! I hope they stay a rock band and not a techno experiment! Thanks LP

Minutes to Midnight is their last album where making good music actually mattered to them.

I honestly love this album out of all of there albums. It's amazing and leave out all the rest will always be my favorite song by LP

Awesome

Will always love LP.. Enough said..

Linkin Park you have influenced me with your awesome music once again just wish i had more money so i can buy mote of you music:D

Best album of its time

not the best linkon park songs they couldve done better with this album. Although no more sorrow and leave out all the rest are good

In my opinion given up is my favorite song from linkin park:D

I Ordered A Freaking Frapachenno Where Is My Freaking Frapachenno

Linkin park is linkin park guys. They may change their sound a few times but its still them. It's like waking up brushing your teeth then washing your face. Just because one day you don't do it that exact way doesn't mean you're a "changed person". Get over it guys. They're a good band no matter what they do.

I know linkin park is a more of a heavy metal band but I heard some songs from this album when my cousin was playing it the other day and I really enjoy some if the songs! Thumbs up

Top 5 favorite songs

1. Shadow of the day

2. What I've done

3. Bleed it out

4. Hands held high

5.leave out all the rest

Too Good

Not my favorite album but it really unleashes the screaming animals that they r

LP...never stop making music.

I love this album. I think it's my favorite. They always do really well at conveying depth in their songs and despite this album being different from their older stuff I think it's amazing. The songs all speak to me in different ways and they are more distinct than some of their older songs. This is one of the few bands that I still buy complete albums and one that never seems to tire out of my music rotation!!

Best album in my opinion and bleed it out my favorite song who's with me

What I've Done

Given Up

Bleed it Out

Your Mom

All awesome things you need to listen to, because they will make life better.

About half of the songs on it are ridiculously good, and the other half are just ok or not good. Bleed it out is probably the best song ever written in the history of the universe. Just sayin'.

To think that LP started as a garage band and now when you type L they're band shows up!!! That's amazing!

And this album is why...

Fantastic!!!

I will NEVER understand the hate for this album, it's fantastic. Every album by LP I love, but this and A Thousand Suns got so much hate.. WHY??

Wake - 5/5, awesome instrumental track.

Given Up - 4.5/5

Leave Out All the Rest - 4/5 Great song, not my favorite

Bleed It Out - 5/5

Shadow of the Day - 5/5

What I've Done - 4.5/5

Hands Held High - 5/5 (possibly my favorite song on this album)

No More Sorrow - 4.5/5

Valentine's Day - 4/5

In Between - 4.5/5

In Pieces - 4/5

The Little Things Give You Away - 5/5 (another contender for favorite)

Notice how there's no ratings under 4.

This is one of the greatest albums ever made with what I've done, hands held high, this album is so powerful and you can listen to it over and over and if will not get old.

I remember when I was young a herd this song "bleed it out" and it still sounds good to me

I liked this back when it wasn't mastered for iTunes. The songs sound much different, especially Shadow of the Day.

Why did they get jacked up 3 dollars? The deluxe used to cost less than the original! Screw you itunes! Why cant they all stay at 7.99 and 9.99? Why?!?!

Did iTunes like remix these songs? This is most noticable on Shadow of the Day because it sounds more techno than the one on the cd.
