BUY Linkin Park's new album...

...Minutes To Midnight. It's gooooooood.

Linkin Park has been letting their fan base know that they sound different. That, they've gotten away from the rock/rap label that they forced upon themselves. This is true to an extent. There is still rapping, because the rapper from the group, Mike, is still in the band. But, they do sound different. They sound more mature and more like a group that has somthing to talk about. Chester, the lead singer, doesn't yell all the time on this album. Some of the songs are actually quite mellow.

All in all, it probobly would have sucked if they had put out an album that sounded exactly the same as the last two. Insted of sucking, they chose to grow as a band and in it, they proved that they are going to be around for a long time, and they are going to continue making good music.

When I heard the first single off this album, "What I've Done," I was expecting the album to be harder and more progressive. Instead, like Nate, I've found that LP has matured and seems to be more focused. I like it, but if you are looking for that signature LP sound, you will not find it here. Just a word of caution for younger siblings, there are some curse words, so buy the edited album at Wal-Mart to make Mom happy.
