Antaris Veteran Posted August 6, 2010 Veteran Share Posted August 6, 2010 I never really listened to Minutes to Midnight much, I have a great appreciation for Meteora and Hybrid Theory. How does it compare to some of their legacy tracks? Will give it a listen :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knife Party Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Linkin Park should have stopped making music a long time ago, after all the Jay Z cr*p, well, my respect for them went down the you know what Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 I never really listened to Minutes to Midnight much, I have a great appreciation for Meteora and Hybrid Theory. How does it compare to some of their legacy tracks? Will give it a listen :) It's better than Meteora, IMO, but not Hybrid Theory. This track is far different, but I love it. @ Kabosse: So they shouldn't collaborate with an artist they have immense respect for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argi Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I heard The Catalyst the other day and thought it was pretty awful (and I like most LP stuff). I hope the rest of their album is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devBrian Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 It sounds like someone discovered how to use Ableton or Fruity Loops and voice filters... sounds pretty horrible up until the last two minutes, then it's kind of okay, I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kondrath Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I used to be an LP fan when I was 13-15... Since then I've moved on to 80s music. But wow, this doesn't sound like Linkin Park at all. Pretty awful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted August 9, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted August 9, 2010 I liked the song 'Fire' from the other band, Dead by Sunrise. This is just too much though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mystic MVC Posted August 9, 2010 MVC Share Posted August 9, 2010 They stepped confidently towards their new sound in Minutes to Midnight and I enjoyed a decent amount of the cd. Not sure if they are trying to slightly auto tune their new sound but I honestly hated the song. Bleh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrChuang Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Does anyone else agree their were 'better' sounding versions of The Catalyst then the official one? Like their were others which kept more to the old Linkin Park style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyJordan Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 "The Catalyst" took a few listens to grow on me, but now, I really like it. Two things are annoying me though, both of them being comments made about them: 1 - I see a lot of people complaining that it isn't proper Linkin Park. Well, they've matured. They can't go doing nu metal for a couple of decades, as it'll get stale and boring. I think they were right to change up their sound with "Minutes to Midnight", and "A Thousand Suns" may very well be another step in the right direction. BTW, I've been an LP fan since "Hybrid Theory", and when I was growing up, I listened to that and "Meteora" to death. 2 - I've seen a few people say Chester's using Auto-Tune in "The Catalyst". Where? Show me. I've listened to the song nearly a dozen times, and I can't detect a hint of Auto-Tune, just some effects Mike Shinoda applied. Chester can still sing, he doesn't need Auto-Tune.

luisjs Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I love the song and I'm dying to listen to the album. I bet it's gonna rock. By the way: a new promo has popped up, with a new snippet: "Wretches & Kings". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 SWEET! I just got reanimation again! love it very much, can't wait to get the new Album.. been a Linkin Park Diehard fan for years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4er9gIn9hM I have a feeling LP fans that didn't like "The Catalyst" will love this song. Click the link quickly, before it goes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ently Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 The full song Wretches and Kings is up now.. can be found here http://www.noisecreep.com/2010/09/02/linkin-park-wretches-and-kings-song-premiere/ I like it, has a very catchy beat and they are really stepping out of their norm which i respect!

Ayepecks Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 Just an FYI... but the album is officially "out there" as of a few minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Dave- Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 somethings "out there". not sure if i can call it linkin park though. fair play for trying something different, but I think they went too far and it's failed. badly. Im on track 8 at the moment, and this is the first song i can here any guitar in, and its VERY low in the mix. The first 2 songs are "intro songs", and track 4 isn't a song either. I love linkin park and im going seeing them in november, but i am Very, very disappointed right now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 To each his own (Y) I think it's their best album, and I didn't say that when Meteora or Minutes to Midnight leaked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unrealistic Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 6 of the 15 songs aren't even songs. I liked a few of the 9 real songs, but overall I didn't "get" the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
