Leave Out All the Rest - 8/10 Soft rock. But a good song.
Bleed it Out - 6/10 Explicit and retarded.

In Pieces - 8/10 Quiet song. But good.
The Little Things Give You Away - 8/10 The softest of all of LP's songs.

Oh yeah, WHY IS EVERYONE SEEMING TO HATE THIS ALBUM! This is Lp's BEST album ever!!! Sure, some of them are quiet but that doesn't matter. I'm tired of all these WHINERS who can't appreciate a good album. So buy an iPod and buy the songs you want so you can stop these complaints. Get the songs and FEEL SPECIAL!

This album might be a good piece of work (IMO it is not). But the problem is that it bears the Linkin Park brand. This is simply not Linkin Park even though it was made by the same people. If this was the first album to be released, they would not achieve the fame and popularity they have today. Do not touch this album at all.

Well, it seems that this album has the been the target for bad reviews..listen to the other Linkin Park albums, too! Linkin Park is a band of six who are great musical taste, as well as genius. These guys should'nt be looked down on. These days, music itself has gotten worse and worse, and Linkin Park's Minutes To Midnight shows the the rest of the world that bands out there can still make music. Meteora, Hybrid Theory, Reanimation, and the rest of their music itself is amazing. This is just a slice a perfection..

1: Wake: A unique intro, which throws the listener into the next track. (10/10)

2: Given Up: One of my favorite tracks off the album. The punk feeling throughout the song is unbeatable. (10/10)

3: Leave Out All The Rest: This is my least favorite track on the album. The whole concept of the track itself I disliked from the start. All, in all, it is a pretty good track, though. (7/10)

4: Bleed It Out: Another punk/ party type song. A good song from start to finish. (9/10)

5: Shadow Of The Day: It has been said before, and I will say it again. With Or Without You- U2 All in all, a good track. (9/10)

6: What I've Done: My second favorite track off the album! This track, despite being overplayed, is a great one. (10/10)

7: Hands Held High: A song that I believe is about George W. Bush, and the War in Iraq. A nice song throughout. (10/10)

8: No More Sorrow: This song captures Linkin Park's energy perfectly! 'Nuff said. (10/10)

9: Valentine's Day: A more mellowed out LP track. (10/10)

10: In Between: Some Mike Shinoda vocal action! This track is not half-bad.. (8/10)

11: In Pieces: A softer, but still great track from Linkin Park. Some nice vocals and nice guitar parts from Chester and Brad. (10/10)

12: The Little Things Give You Away: An emotional song written about Hurricane Katrina. (10/10)

All in all, a GREAT album. You will not regret your buy!

Many bands have died off from not being able to evolve, mature, grow, and explore. With this album, Linkin Park has shown that the group can branch out and try something new. Not everyone is going to like it, but then again, no one liked hearing that the earth was round when they believed for eons that it was flat.

That being said, I have to say that, as a Linkin Park fan, it took me many listens to fully enjoy this album because I was just so resistant to the new sound. Don't get me wrong - my favorite songs are the ones that sound like Linkin Park, but I have to say, Shadow of the Day, Hands Held High, Leave Out All The Rest are beautiful songs.

This album will not immediately astonish and please, but after multiple listens, you will enjoy it.

stop the wining and moaning and bitching.damnit stop living in the past.sooner or later things have to change.I mean,its just EVOLUTION.its life.stop comparing the Linkin Park songs of the 2000.2008 its still Linkin Park,all the same band members just new songs and new styles.if you just do like you dont know the other albums and you listen to minutes to midnight you will love it cuz you dont compare.anyway its evolution and if you wake up one day and say hey what happen to Linkin Park they are no longer hard rock and stuff,bla,bla,bla.....well EVOLUTION has just passed you by! dig it
