Minutes to Midnight [VINYL]

Perfect

Produit arrivé en très bon état ! Rien à redire !

I've been listening to everything since funky Rick James, to sweet but vindictive Taylor Swift. I have embraced Euro industrial and electronica, pop/neuvo-disco in American musik for the last few years. I have to say Linkin Park has been a life saver. I was taken in by Gaga, entranced by Nirvana, but the ones who touched my heart and brought me out of the darkness were Linkin Park. MTM is definitely the next chapter in their progression. How people can complain or doubt, I can understand. If you like/love a group and their albums, you hope the next will be a continuation of the former. But groups want to grow, experiment, evolve. They are getting older and have amazing new experiences that are represented in their music. MTM seems as good or better than Meteoria or Hybrid Theory the more I listen. Yes my initial reaction was along the lines of "uh, this isn't the same. Do I like it?" Geez, Chester obviously throws his heart soul and guts into everything when he's singing, whether rockin' or reflective ballading. I thought Mike's influence was lacking at first, but man he is there in bounds. I really think it was great for Mike to record with Fort Minor. Gave him opportunity to express himself and let go of what's deep inside. REANIMATION also allowed alternate expressions with guest rappers to add dimension to the emotion and expression of the songs. Then MTM. It's the expression of a maturing group. No, not every song needs a rap, as Chester soulfully expresses the immensity of feeling and throbbing of the heart in his lyrics. Then he explodes, and it just hits your soul like a tsumnami. Meanwhile Mike is throwing a heartful, killer rhyme from the heart out there. LP always has hope in the end of their songs. Yeah life is a killer and takes us for all we're worth, but we try to evolve from what we were to something useful and have hope for the future. I'm a pessimist or a realist, as you look at it, so I relate to the disappointment, fear, and lack of understanding in LP. This album just continues the feelings of rejection, fear, but hope of resilience and acceptance in a hard world. I think this is why LP still is relevant to their fans. So many artists lose their edge as they age and make big money, but LP seems to see the real people. MTM might be different than previous albums, but the more you listen, the more small touches or amazing lyricism shows through. Yeah, give it a chance through quite a few listenings. I don't think you pick it all up the first few times and have to make a judgment after familiarity as it surrounds you, before you can make a fair analysis. I think they still understand how it feels to be one of "us".

The package arrived in pristine condition. Delivery was good. And this vinyl is now part of my collection
