1. Bleed it Out
2. What I've Done
3. No More Sorrow
4. In Between
5. Valentine's Day

Re: Minutes to Midnight, New Linkin Park CD

It's nice, and I like Linkin Park and all, but I like their old songs better.

Re: Minutes to Midnight, New Linkin Park CD

I hate their new style. I liked the single "What I've Done" but all the other stuff on there is crap. What happend to the old Linkin Park?

Re: Minutes to Midnight, New Linkin Park CD

i didnt really like their new cd either.

ever since Collision Course with Jay-Z came out, i rarely listened to them.

i liked their old style.

on "Bleed It Out" idk if you guys have heard that annoying clapping..no ofense to linkin park, but it sounds so gay.

Re: Minutes to Midnight, New Linkin Park CD

lol is everyone here a Linkin Park fan? because no one seems to realize that they pretty much represent all that is the decline of modern music:

rich mtv-raised guys whining about their stupid adolescent problems while they are WAY to old to be doing so, let alone in such retarded lyrics.

songs that are pretty much constructed for massive radio play and plenty of mtv air time without any musical inclination or talent involved--profits are obviously the key aim.

its basically an excersise in target marketing. whether you were a die hard nu-metal fan in 5th grade (and who wasn't), or just thought their new single was "oh em gee supr kool gaiz its rly liek how i feeel inside wiht my problems and stuf," you will probably buy this cd. why? why give them more money? if you really thought it was so great (for god knows what reason), then download it with limewire or something and quit feeding money to the cash-machine that is linkin park. SAME GOES FOR YOU LIMP BIZKIT, GODSMACK, KORN, AND DISTURBED.

Re: Minutes to Midnight, New Linkin Park CD

Oh no.

People actually enjoy things that sound good to them?

What an amazing concept.

Re: Minutes to Midnight, New Linkin Park CD

if listening to the lyrics of linkin park songs dont make you feel like an idiot, then thats your thing. its just that there is so much great music out there that is BETTER than linkin park, but never gets heard because bands like linkin park dominate the music industry. not because theyre good or even sound better than anyone else. because they got lucky and their godawful brand of pop/synth-rock became a mainstream and media sensation and their career skyrocketed itself. all im saying is that people should give other, better music a chance before jumping to the bands that you are told to like.

They dominate the industry because they make songs that people want to hear. Its not that everyone is hopelessly emo, it relates. I'd rather hear a story about a relationship so I can learn from someone's experience then something totally thrown together and "Mystical".

Linkin Park is very good at what they do, and their style of music has nothing to do with being hopeless.

Oh and btw, A lot of bands are mainstream because people like them. Because of this there will always be a person who hunts bands like LP down because when there is something really good, there is always someone bitterly opposed. If you've found a great band don't tell us, someone will hate them, or worse, they might become mainstream and just as bad as linkin park.

Re: Minutes to Midnight, New Linkin Park CD

a million bands could make music exactly the same as linkin park, or better (which by this forums terms is apparently "catchier") of the same genre, and would never become mainstream or even enjoy some success just because they didnt get the same breaks. note that im not saying mainstream music is bad. some is quite good (though most is just made-for-radio rehashed crap), but mainstream bands that pretty much dont deserve to be. its pretty much indisputable that linkin park has no talent, creative or musical. also note that i never called linkin park out as an emo band or anything of the sort. they are nu-metal, nothing original, and write terrible lyrics that dont even deserve to be called emo. if you want well-written emo, i suggest Thursday or my favorite, Cursive.

Re: Minutes to Midnight, New Linkin Park CD

I don't like their music because of the lyrics. I like it because it's a unique sound. It's something you don't hear all the time.

I don't listen to the radio and I don't pursue new bands. I don't watch television, let alone MTV. The radio is loaded with emo crap and bands with zero talent along with generic rap songs after generic rap songs, as is MTV.

I like all of maybe half a dozen American bands. I dislike about 200.

I like Dragonforce, but can I relate to them at all? Of course not.

Don't get me wrong, Dragonforce is Epic, but if the aim is to get more people to listen casually, something preferably not about Super-Ultra-Fires-of-Burning-Destiny may not be what people want to hear, hence why Dragonforce isn't as mainstream as they perhaps could be. (That and vocals X|)

Oh and I disagree gnr. Obviously it can't be bad if so many people like it, I just personally think that it rubs you the wrong way.
