Minutes to Midnight is an underrated album, tbh. Might just be my nostalgia, but it finishes a pretty damn solid three-album streak of good albums from Linkin Park.
Agreed, though I also have to say that if you haven't listened to A Thousand Suns recently, try going back to it without listening to earlier LP first. It's a departure from their first three albums in many ways, but honestly, when taken as a cohesive front-to-back concept album, I think it's actually their strongest work.
LP just hits hard no matter what, though. Even though I may not like all their later stuff as much, they were always true to themselves and that comes through. I miss Chester :'(
Looking at the lyrics in hindsight, you can see how that was all too true.
