'''''Minutes to Midnight''''' is the third studio album by American ] band ], released on May 14, 2007, through ]. The album was produced by ] and ]; it is Linkin Park's first studio album produced without Don Gilmore, who had produced the band's two previous albums. ''Minutes to Midnight'' is the band's follow-up album to '']'' (2003), and features a shift in the group's musical direction. For the band, the album marked a beginning of deviation from their signature ] sound. ''Minutes to Midnight'' takes its title from the ] symbol.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.bmi.com/news/entry/linkin_park_makes_minutes_to_midnight_count|title=Linkin Park Makes 'Minutes to Midnight' Count|last=Rodriguez|first=Dana|date=May 25, 2007|work=BMI.com|access-date=June 5, 2017}}</ref> It is also the band's first full-length album to carry a ] label. |

Linkin Park started working on their third studio album in 2003, taking a break to tour in support of ''Meteora'' in 2004. In this time period, the band formed numerous side projects; Mike Shinoda formed his ] ] ], while ] formed ], both of which caused the album to be shelved temporarily. The band returned to work on the record afterward, taking on a different musical direction from the 2003 sessions while working with producer Rick Rubin. The album's completion was delayed several times for unknown reasons. Eventually, "]" was released in April 2, 2007 as the album's ], with the full album being released in North America on May 15, 2007. |

Guitarist ] experimented with an ] when the band was piecing together "The Little Things Give You Away". The band decided not to use the effect for the solo in that song and instead ended up creating "No More Sorrow" out of the effect. In "]", he jingles the keys that are heard while several clap sounds are overlaid in the intro of the song (as mentioned in the lyric book: ''Brad added the sounds on the intro song: multiple tracks of claps - and keys jingling.''). Shinoda and Delson teamed up with ] to add string elements to six songs; "Leave Out All the Rest", "Shadow of the Day", "Hands Held High", "The Little Things Give You Away", as well as the two b-sides "No Roads Left" and "Blackbirds" (which was instead later used in the ] game '']'' as well as being included as a bonus track for ''A Thousand Suns''), respectively. All scratching elements by ] that existed in the previous two studio albums are largely absent because of the low mixing, except on the songs "What I've Done", "Wake", "The Little Things Give You Away", "Valentine's Day" and "In Pieces". Hahn contributes more with programming, electronics, and other elements to many of the songs. The church organ and military drumbeat on "Hands Held High" were originally to be used as the backdrop to melodic vocals, but Rubin recommended that the band try the opposite approach according to the album booklet. For the album, the band recorded fifty to sixty songs in August 2006.<ref name="Linkin park takes a longer time to create album">{{cite web|url=http://observerzparadise.com/linkin-park-minutes-to-midnight/|title=Linkin Park indecisive about forthcoming album|work=Oberverzparadise|access-date=February 18, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151024151254/http://observerzparadise.com/linkin-park-minutes-to-midnight/|archive-date=October 24, 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref> Their previous albums took only about three to six months to complete, while this one took 14 months.<ref name="Linkin park takes a longer time to create album"/> They spent over six months writing the songs.<ref name="Linkin park takes a longer time to create album"/> In previous albums, they composed an average of 40 songs, but they made over 100 this time.<ref name="Linkin park takes a longer time to create album"/> "]" is one of two songs (the other being "No Roads Left") to have Bennington playing the guitar. During live performances, Shinoda is generally playing the keyboard for "Shadow of the Day", while Bennington plays rhythm guitar. Shinoda stated in an interview: "We were looking back at the things that we had done in the past... and I think we just figured that we had exhausted that sound. It was easy for us to replicate, it was easy for other bands to replicate, and we just needed to move on."<ref>{{cite video | people=] | date=May 15, 2007 | url=https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000OCZ0ZO | title=Minutes to Midnight (Special Edition) | medium=Music Documentary}}</ref> |

Shinoda performs his ] vocals on only two tracks, "]" and "Hands Held High". This is a significant decrease compared to the amount of rapping on previous albums. The rap vocals on "Hands Held High" are much closer styled to Mike Shinoda's side project ] than his traditional Linkin Park verses, as he raps during most of the song. Despite a decrease of Mike Shinoda as rapper, he has three solo lead songs on the record: "Hands Held High", "In Between" and the bonus track "No Roads Left". He also raps on "Bleed It Out" while "What I've Done", "Shadow of the Day", "No More Sorrow" and "The Little Things Give You Away" features backing vocals from Shinoda at the end. ''Minutes to Midnight'' is also Linkin Park's first album to feature guitar solos, particularly in the tracks "What I've Done," "In Pieces" and "The Little Things Give You Away". Also, unlike the previous two studio albums, ''Minutes to Midnight'' contains profanity and thus the first ] studio album to contain a ] (the first overall being their collaborative ] with ], '']'') and politically charged lyrics.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://coffee-bytes.com/node/554 |title=Linkin Park's Minutes to Midnight |date=February 3, 2009 |access-date=December 19, 2012 |url-status=unfit |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090203033559/http://coffee-bytes.com/node/554 |archive-date=February 3, 2009 }}</ref> The songs that contain profanity are "Given Up", "Bleed It Out" and "Hands Held High".

All sampling elements by ] that existed in the previous two studio albums are completely absent, except on the songs "What I've Done", "In Pieces", and "The Little Things Give You Away". Hahn contributes more with programming, electronica, and other elements to many of the songs in the album. Additionally, ] performs his trademark ] vocals on only two tracks, "Bleed It Out" and "Hands Held High". This is a significant decrease compared to previous albums. The rap vocals on the album are much closer styled to Mike Shinoda's side project ] than his traditional ] verses. Despite a decrease of Mike Shinoda as a main vocalist, he has two solo songs on the record. One has him rapping, 'Hands Held High', the other has him singing, 'In Between'. Both songs feature backing vocals from the other vocalist Chester Bennington. ] screams for 17 consecutive seconds in "Given Up"<ref>AOL Music Session on YouTube.</ref>.

{{cquotetxt|It couldn't be more exciting to give you all new music, especially after all the hard work we put into it. This album was almost a year and a half of experiments, mistakes, inspiration, and careful craftsmanship. We put everything we had into these songs, and want you to hear every second of it.

At the same time, a leak leaves out some very important parts of this piece of work. We put months of creative energy into the ART of the record, in the booklet, special edition, and big book...almost as long as it took to record ] (]). The album has amazing photos, lyrics, and notes about how the songs came together--it's the visual half of the record. On the other hand, the super-special-edition book is packed with exclusive images, stories of the making of the songs, gorgeous art, the CD and a DVD that tells the story, showing the actual moments of inspiration caught on camera. For me, it's almost hard to imagine anyone really experiencing this album without that part of it. |

Even the song sequence alone is very important. It's WAY different to hear the songs in a random order than to listen to this record from beginning to end. At the very least, if you've already downloaded the songs, do us a huge favor and listen to them in the right order...it'll be way more rewarding.|Mike Shinoda|color=silver|size=360%}} |

Linkin Park started working on their third studio album in 2003, taking a break to tour in support of Meteora in 2004. In this time period, the band formed numerous side projects; Mike Shinoda formed his hip hop side project Fort Minor, while Chester Bennington formed Dead by Sunrise, both of which caused the album to be shelved temporarily. The band returned to work on the record afterward, taking on a different musical direction from the 2003 sessions while working with producer Rick Rubin. The album's completion was delayed several times for unknown reasons. Eventually, "What I've Done" was released in April 2, 2007 as the album's lead single, with the full album being released in North America on May 15, 2007.
