Minutes To Midnight by Linkin Park

Four years after their last album, the kings of catchy nu-metal return with a worthwhile emo-esque new disc. Linkin Park's Minutes To Midnight ($10) is a major move away from their rap-rock sound, trying their best to survive the current musical climate by channelling some classic bands and spitting out darker and more political lyrics. Standout tracks: "What I've Done" and "Given Up."
