I got it the day after it came out.

I love it. What I've Done is alright.. but they play it too much on the radio for my liking.

I really don't think it's the screamo people were looking for when they got the album they knew it would be different from the other albums with popular single What I've Done, which I heard and went to get the album having their other ones. I listened to it but wasn't really done with it the album in general was filled with holes, I read the lyrics to all the songs with the songs I liked the lyrics were good to listen to and for the point of most of their songs was rather annoying and that type of words and music isn't what made them Linkin Park or made them famous. The new sound fits them but for how they put it most of their songs and would have better lyrics I think more people would be feel better about the album as a whole. For my mind which liked most of the songs on the other albums, but to Minutes to Midnight only three I like What I've Done, Valentines Day and Given up, I do like the softer beat to Linkin Park my fav songs from them are on the soft side. I feel it didn't live up to the other albums they had done. With Hands held high it's a good song but the point of the song I would expect more then this type of singing fromt them other then the three songs I like. I listened to the others read the lyrics several times and it was disapointing to me, I did expect better, and a bit more mature the point the meaning to most of there songs isn't like Numb or Crawling. This one seemed a bit inmature. None like their other work, in my words I just wanted them to live up to themselves and play more meaningful songs for this album. Like the other albums.

I personally like the sound of "What I've Done". Plus the band's new look is interesting, it reminds me of U2 a lot. Chester seems to be trying that Bono image with the leather and shades. Another thing I noticed is the guitarist Brad Delson seems to trying to look like Brad Delp from Boston. The fro and the beard really makes him look like a 70s rocker. I wonder if it's sort of a tribute to him or sort of a joke since their names are nearly the same?

I thought it was a let down, as I adore their screamo-ish ones. But it just isn't Numb-style with raspy vocals anymore, it sounds like an evil clone.

Apparently Linkin Park wrote 50 songs for the album. I'd like to know what they were like.

Also, surprisingly enough, Hands Held High = big win.

I have decided that this is in fact my FAVORITE LP album now!

Among my favorite songs from the album include:

Hands Held High (Best song LP has EVER written with a killer delivery from Shinoda !)
No Roads Left (Dayyummm, Mike Shinoda is a hell of a singer in this one! but you still can't top Chester's leads though!)
Leave Out All The Rest
Shadow Of The Day
In Pieces
The Little Things Give You Away (TOTALLY EPIC!)

Well I agree to hate those songs Since I hated the album so much but wanted to know people's opinion, I went to 100 LP fans who have bouth each album, and their opinion was for hand held high, witch was a money making farce song. Hand held high the general opinion, "A government bashing song, lets blame the government song, why in the world did LP write this? Horrible, inspirational. " My opinion, of hands held high which was mostly agreed on with the people I talked to. Hands Held High: My hands are held high yeah very high in shock. I didn't buy MTM, to hear LP complain about the government! I would asked for it! Geeze I thought LP was more adult and mature then other bands well apparently not so far it seems the legend of LP wants to end in MTM. This was most likely a money making farce song, making LP degrading them of their legend of a mountain to nothing but a pile of dust. "With a leader an obvious waste" this obviously is referring to the LP leader and writer. "Uttering and shuddering what did he say?" This NEEDS to be asked to THEM! "In my living room I'm not laughing." This is for YOU! For this song if you had nightmares of LP saying words that aren't LP and immature and everything LP isn't but they make it them by changing from talent for disaster is explained and horrifyingly enough is this song. 1/10

Leave Out All The Rest
My opinion : "Leave out all the rest" leaving out the talent of Given up perhaps this was talking about Given up on making great songs anymore, the beginning of the song is obviously gives you hope that soft LP is matches up easily to the hardcore one which I had really hoped for in "Minutes To Midnight" but leave out all the hope for a softer LP to be great, they left it out of this song. My only opinion on this LP left out all the rest of talent out of this song.

General opinion of the 100 LP fans I viewed, (that have every song from them I check.) "It sucks, I don't want to talk about that, pathetic song, poor excuse of a LP song. Too slow paced. Emo!"

In Pieces: The talent of LP is "in pieces" and this song does a wonderfully good job explaining that to everyone with the lyrics sounding like a 10 grader in Africa would write a song In pieces would be the outcome. This song is a reason of why MTM is hated so much and said the worst LP album by far. Linkin Park is "In Pieces"

General opinion: "ok, barely good, only listen to once, worst LP song ever! Enough to be LP worthy"

The Little Things Give You Away: The little lyrics you have in your song that has talent, the little music that has talent gives the album a somewhat of a good name. The small talent in this album gives it away as a the worst of Linkin Park by far the last song leaving the impression asking "Why did I buy this?" You simply never want to listen to the whole album ever, ever again just the songs you like. Linkin Parks Minutes to Midnight people say is there worst album by far for a reason perhaps less if the last song had some talent in it. 1/10

Not good, bad, best song ever, sad, poor, shameful to by LP, horrible.

Shadow Of Day: This is a perfect example of the soft Linkin Park is just as good as any harder edged LP, the shadow of the day, with a wonderful mix of music and lyrics makes the shadow of of everyones day a bit better making the hard times seem that they will set and things will get better. The music in this I like best, the lyrics partly want to make you shout the lyrics, a great song of LP hopefully now the album with turn to what LP should be! This is a wonderful song with the talent of LP but the to MAX this is a reason why LP is a god of rock. 9/10

General opinion: a bit too slow, too emo, a great song, a great soft LP song, better song on MTM. Best soft song of LP.

Well your say is your say I won't change that dislike but respect my anger in MTM is that there was no originality as an album, same thing done time after time.....LP I thought like before they be a hybrid, but no They AWOL in in there talent, and don't use any originality... sad sad album...Horrific

I agree with Dr.Pepper199. I love 'em all. And Chester did go through alot including an addiction to drugs. that's why he's in the breaking the habit video.

I really enjoy it
