LINKIN PARK
The third full-length studio album by legendary American Nu Metal band.
Linkin Park's first studio album produced without Don Gilmore, who had produced the band's two previous albums. It was produced by vocalist Mike Shinoda and legendary producer Rick Rubin.
Minutes To Midnight marked the beginning of deviation from their signature Nu Metal sound. The album takes its title from the Doomsday Clock symbol; and it is also the band's first full-length album to carry a Parental Advisory label.
Linkin Park decided to embrace the inevitable and jumped headfirst into maturity on "Minutes To Midnight", which meant that poor Mike Shinoda was effectively benched, Rapping on just two songs. In many ways, it seems like even the guitarists were benched this time around, since Minutes to Midnight doesn't really Rock, it broods. Apart from a handful of ringers ("Given Up," the Shinoda-fueled "Bleed It Out," easily the best, most visceral track here) this is quiet, atmospheric stuff, dabbling with electronic textures that were cutting edge in 1996 but sound passé now. Also sounding passé are the tortured musings of lead singer Chester Bennington, who still is tormented by love, loss, family, any number of items that sound convincing coming from a man in his early twenties, but not so much so when the thirties are approaching rapidly. And yet the way Bennington and his mates, shepherded by producer Rick Rubin, try to sound mature isn't always convincing, either, possibly because it sounds like a Skate Punk uncomfortably trying on his big brother's suit. They have the chops to Rock, and when they deign to do so on "Minutes To Midnight" they sound comfortable, they sound right, but too often they run away from this core strength which was on the previous band's albums.
The album debuted at number one in the US Billboard 200 and in 15 other countries, including the United Kingdom and Canada. In the United States, the album had the biggest first week sales of 2007 at the time, with 623,000 albums sold, going on to be certified five times Platinum in the US. It has sold more than four million copies in the US. It was ranked number 154 on Billboard's Hot 200 Albums of the Decade. Despite its commercial success, "Minutes To Midnight" received mixed reviews from critics. Rolling Stone Magazine, however, named it the twenty-fifth best album of 2007.
Machine Shop Recordings, 2007/2008/2020 (093624998105). Made in Germany.
