To be honest, I really like this CD, having said that, it would have to take a lot for me not to like a CD that LP makes. You can tell they are trying something totally different for them and I think you have to give them credit. A big knock on Linkin was that their earlier stuff sounded the same, you can't say that about Minutes to Midnight. You may not like it, fine, but don't tell me that it sounds the same as their old stuff.

After all that, I think that this is easily my least favorite of the three major releases.
A bit late and a bit of a bump, but I DL'd Linkin Park's album and I have to say that it was a bit of a disappointment. There's not much recycling from their last albums but their new stuff was pretty disappointing. Best tracks I liked were: Given Up, Leave Out The Rest (the boyband influences make it catchy), Bleed It Out and What I've Done. Aside from that, the album was not worth the bandwidth.

I thought this album was really really well done. I'm not a fan of them, but it was pretty funky with maybe one or two tracks being bad (but far from terrible). An absolute solid album from start to finish for sure.
