Breaking the Habit.

Yeah, but its only like 6 songs overall with actual cursing. And by the way, ATS is definitely not a pop album.

Sure it is.

Minutes To Midnight is a beautiful record. There is no filler at all. Every track has it's own identity, with a message that you can relate to. I adore it more than I ever did before.

I used to really be disappointed with MTM, but after hearing ATS, I've grown to accept MTM more. Just wish songs like IB,Wake, LOATR,TLTGYA never made the album cut.

I used to think yes however it's been almost 6 years now since TRT came out. Mike seems content being a backup singer and keyboardist(Get Me Gone). I'm not sure who is to blame. Most likely Warner since FM can't compare to LP's sales figures so Mike decided to abandon it.

Their lyrics were better when they forced themselves to not use explicit to get across a message. I don't see ATS or MTM as a more mature album at all. I didn't know pop music was mature at all.

I kind of agree on this... but i don't think it's UNNACEPTABLE - all these old school albums used to be limited to that sort of number, and i'm actually quite a fan of the interludes, there could have just been more tracks, say about 4 more songs or something, and maybe another few interlude to keep with the album's flow...

Yeah I don't mean to sound that entitled but LP makes their fans wait a long time for such few actual songs. Thankfully the lpu cd's have improved over the past 2 years though.

8 tracks on a studio album is not acceptable- too many interludes.

agreed in a way, since my december and she couldn't are my all time favorite LP songs it's weird, but their recent ballads seems so empty. I kinda pity the crowds at shows when they start with the ballads because they are so boring live. Different strokes for different oaks though. My december is awesome live and very enjoyable for a slower song though.

I've seen them 7 times now and after my last show I'm no longer that interested in seeing them. The two ATS songs I like Blackout and Burning in the Skies were not played- they only played singles besides the ATS stuff. Hard to appease everyone but I just hope they can release lots of music( even old stuff like lpu9,10).

I'm not saying that nu-metal isn't good music. I am saying that LP's numetal era is over since 2006(? - Qwerty).

I don't care if they never rap and scream over a track again. I just want some damn energy back in their songs.

If they want to make all these ballards then fine, but please make a double album and put some tracks with a backbone on there.

Good music fan detected

Fixed.

Rick Rubin again? Are you f*king kidding me lp?

lolgoaway.

umad

They didn't tour much for this record, really. MTM and prior albums had MUCH more touring...so don't see why you're complaining. I thought you stopped going on LP forums LONG ago. Guess not.

umadder

Enough touring already. Make a new cd- please redeem yourselves, LP.

THIS

The new metal sound was no longer popular after Meteora hence the change. What music are they making now, soft rock? I wonder why. Because it's now popular.

Read the interview- still think the sold out to a certain extent. I understand changing; I do not understand completely abandoning your roots and original fanbase.

you're going to make ALOT of enemies on here in 5...4...3...2...1...

I'm used to it. This doesn't compare at all to when LP covered wish.

That cover was awful, why would they even cover that song? Lame. LP just keeps going further downhill.

ATS did kinda "suck" for LP's standards. The sale records are misleading because LP fans of the past still buy their stuff yet regret that purchase later on. Look at all the credible reviews out there. Wake the f*k up people.

!!!!!!!!!

LOL. They take 3-4 years to make an album. Everybody knows that. Don't be naive guys.

What is this band? Ah Fort Minor, when MS was rapper...

lol, this. It's like he's given up rapping lately. He's content with being a backup singer/producer.

i dont know why people are so hyped cuz of the rising tied. it delayed minutes to midnight for like 2 years XD

TRT> MTM by a long shot.

Does it offend me the openers suck? Yeah

WTF, no Arizona dates!!??

This.

a crazy ass question i think mark might be able to get the answer to, me and the miss's are gonna get married in 2012 and we wanna live band how much u think it would cost to have linkin park play? we wanna get a rough price

Not sure if serious...
