And, yes, I made the reporters sheep on purpose.

This was fab
My favourite bit was "Wood?"
Now as for Minutes to Midnight... I was just thinking the other day about how I really only like half of that album. The half I like is molten metal... the other half is Linkin Park trying to sound like JT-era U2...
Well Minutes to Midnight itself was a departure for Linkin Park, before, they were nu metal with a standard fare of angsty songs filled with heavy guitar, "electronic" mixed beats, and a rap-scream pattern.LemonMelon said:The Minutes To Midnight/U2 comparison is interesting, actually. I've heard it made previously, and I wonder if the album was a conscious attempt to sound like U2, or some band that already sounds like U2 (EG: Coldplay, Keane). Not a big fan of Linkin Park, but I do find that interesting, especially when Rubin is thrown into the mix.

Oh if there were some way you could send this to U2 so they could see it. Sums a lot of things up.

Ditto. I barely listen to it at all now. But I agree, No More Sorrow is by far the best song on the album. The pure anger there is just incredible.AtomicBono said:I loved Minutes to Midnight when it first came out, but I'm pretty sick of it by now. No More Sorrow is easily my favourite, and it just sounds like standard LP I applaud LP for trying a new direction, but they definitely were a little overly-U2 about it, and the album just doesn't have staying power for me, save a few songs.
