Review title: Regretably Boring Release
Product review: This album is a definite divergence from previous Linkin Park releases, and though it is similar in composition and general approach it nevertheless falls short in almost all respects. What really ruins this album is that nothing seems to fit - slow repetitive music is combined with uninteresting lyrics; fast and uniquely Linkin Park beats are combined with overly repetitive lyrics which are unimaginative and not engaging.The overall CD comes across as a poorly planned and eclectic collection - it's important to branch out and try new things, and Linkin Park should be commended for not trying to hole up in a mode established in Meteora and Hybrid Theory. At the same time, it is important not to disregard the things which worked well for this group of musicians and the fans which enjoyed such releases. Minutes to Midnight will probably disappoint any but the staunchest adherents of Linkin Park's new album of teenage-angst, punk, hip-hop, synth mix.
