Album Notes & Community Reviews
Produced by Rick Rubin, 'Minutes to Midnight' saw Linkin Park shedding their nu-metal skin for a more alternative rock sound. The album is politically charged and musically varied, ranging from the gentle 'Shadow of the Day' to the aggressive 'Given Up'. It marked a mature turning point for the band.
