I'm a very picky person when it comes to music, but I loved the first 3 LP CD's.
I was a major fan of Hybrid Theory - One of the best CD's I have ever listened to. Then there was Meteora which I was a huge fan of. Then Reanimation, these 3 CD's have defined music for me since I started listening to them, about 9 Months ago.
They are a stand out band in my mind. The only problem I forsee with this New CD Minutes to Midnight is that it is a weak CD compared to their previous music. It has too many emotional tracks (emo tracks) It is not their form of music, but a few of their emo tracks work really well. They still are LP. I will be going to their concerts and supporting them. They are and will always be Linkin' Park to me. No matter how emo their music is they have my support.
