This album was highly anticipated I would say since it’s been awhile and I loved the last release Meteora. Since then, my music taste has changed and grown to a more indie style. One thing for sure though no matter the doubters, I thought their music was great and I really liked it. Lots of people claimed that Linkin Park claimed their stuff is all “the same” well I can tell you people to f*** off because if you want someone to change their whole style you tend to get bad results.
Midnights to Midnight is a different animal. There is much less rap. It feels quieter even with screaming, the screaming is with less rage and is too organized. Most of the songs are boring, not like most Linkin Park where there were interesting beats, screaming and some good rap from Mike Shinoda. The rapping took a back burner and it appears to be on only one song so it was less of a mix genres between rock and rap which most people I know really liked. This album can really suck depending on your tastes. There are a few good songs on here, I did like Shadow of the Day though it’s not really representing Linkin Park well, as well as the song In Between which is sung by Mike Shinoda.
Overall the album wasn’t good but they may have some success with some of the singles. I probably will not listen to it again after I’m done my review but there are at least some decent songs. I don’t think it’s worth buying and you’re probably better off saving the 10-15 bucks it costs. 2.5 out of 5 is what I give.
