What are You Listening to Right Now?

I really liked "Minutes to Midnight". I prefer their change of style on that album, than what they did on " A Thousand Suns".
"Giving Up" is on of my favorite songs by them. That song just rocks. And like you said, I liked how Mike sang more on "Minutes to Midnight". I also liked "New Divide as well. I felt it fit right in with the sound they had going for "Minutes to Midnight".

Their best album though will always be "Hybrid Theory" to me. I played that CD to death when it first came out.
My all time favorite song by Linkin Park is "A Place For My Head". I love the guitar riff, and the way Chester sings in that song is awesome. Whats your favorite song by them?

I went back to take a listen to some of their older stuff to try and figure out what my fave would be, and I realized that I phrased it wrong. I don't think Minutes to Midnight is a bad album at all, in fact I really like it - but not for Linkin Park. For the most part it's feels to me like a rock album that happened to have the Linkin Park guys in it...it might as well be a "Dead by Sunrise" record. They got rid of what made them unique, the DJ and synthesizer stuff, the nu-metal sound, the rapping from Mike...it was just rock. Now, it was a solid rock album, and I liked a lot of it. Like I said I liked Mike's singing (although I'd prefer him to rap) and they have a good rock sound, I just missed their unique sound. It's not that I want them to keep putting out the same stuff though, but even if they got rid of all the electronic stuff and just had a more stripped Rock/Rap album, I could see it being better for me.

If I had to pick a favorite song, I'd go with either Points of Authority or Breaking the Habit...those have always been two of my faves. Although I really like Nobody's Listening too. And from Minutes to Midnight, it's either Bleed it Out or No More Sorrow.
