“**💭 Thoughts:** LINKIN PARK’s 2007 record, *Minutes to Midnight*, has the nu-metal band distancing themselves from the heavier sound of their previous records and taking on a more mellow, emotional sound. To be honest, I’m not a huge fan of this LINKIN PARK. I find that what made *Hybrid Theory* and *Meteora* so special was how unique and distinctive their sound was—of which goes completely out the window for a majority of this album. This record just feels very boring, and is nowhere near as interesting as the two previous record.
