Review: Linkin Park - Minutes to Midnight
Don't tell anybody, but I really liked Linkin Park's first album, "Hybrid Theory" and especially liked the remix album that followed: "Reanimation".

Carefully constructed synth pads weave in and out ( Read more... ) -

I think it is easy today to take this album and the breakthroughs it helped produce for granted - especially if you like me were not even born yet. However, take a moment to listen and try ( Read more... )
