Linkin Park: Minutes To Midnight Vinyl LP

Description

Third studio album from rap metal patron saints Linkin Park! Minutes To Midnight was recorded after a brief period of inactivity for the band as Mike Shinoda was focusing on Fort Minor and Chester Bennington was working with Dead By Sunrise. The album, co-produced by Shinoda and Rick Rubin, marks the beginning of the band’s slow deviation from the nu-metal sound they had become persistently associated with and sees them exploring new textures influenced by Rubin’s trademark stripped-down rock and raw hip-hop sound. Includes the songs: “What I’ve Done,” “Leave Out All The Rest,” “Bleed It Out,” “Given Up” and more.
