:There are only 3 songs that can be classified as alt metal. This makes up only a small portion of the album. Also, the heavier songs seem to have more of a punk rock influence in them than metal.

== Possible Plagarism? ==

I was listening to "Camisado" by ] and when it got to around 1:11, I thought "This part sounds really familiar..." and after a bit of thinking I had realized that I had heard a "solo" almost exactly like it - in "In Pieces".

==In Between==

I don't know if I'm seeing things, but has anyone read an error? First, under "sound", the article reads:

This is their first album where Mike Shinoda sings lead vocals for a full length track ("In Between"), rather than rapping.

Later:

In addition to his rapping on "Hands Held High", which features background vocals from the entire band (the "men's choir" singing "Amen" is actually each member of the band), he also sings the lead vocals for "In Between".

==Failed GA nom==
I've failed this good article nomination based on several observations:
#Though its a minor thing, the styling of the Professional reviews section of the infobox should resemble all of the album featured articles (see for example)
#"Remarkably well" is too ] in the lead. ''Hybrid Theory'' sold 10 million copies in the US--2 million is only a fraction of that. Hardly remarkable.
#"It is also their first studio album with a parental advisory label, <s>besides Collision Course.</s>" ''Collision Course'' was an EP, not a studio album.
#You probably don't need to mention Kanye and 50 Cent in the lead--that can be saved for the article.
#Allmusic only calls the album "alternative metal" along with rap-metal and post-grunge. "Alternative rock" would need a citation.
#Critical reception (aside from the ''RS'' ranking) should be mentioned in the lead.
#The last paragraph in the lead should probably be outright deleted, as the name of the album is only one small detail of it. If it needs to be mentioned, be less specific (i.e. "several names were considered...")
#The "Release" section is completely incohesive. Almost every paragraph is only one or two sentences and is filled with ]. This section also ''starts'' with mention of its release, before anything has been mentioned about the recording sessions. This part is also missing citations.
#Completely delete the list of album peaks. Instead, turn it into prose in the reception section (only the countries where it hit #1 should be mentioned). Some of the less notable single charts should be deleted from the list.
#The ciations are poorly formatted. They should all include, at minimum, a publisher and an access date, and should also include the author's name if available.
#Don't cite a livejournal even if its just a scan of a magazine article. Just put the article date in the review box.
OK, that's enough to keep you busy for a while. It's still a long ways off from a good article. I recommend taking a look at the featured articles on albums to give you an idea of what album articles should look like. Obviously, they don't need to be at that quality to be a good article, but they need to be close. Good luck with the article. ] (]) 03:12, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

OK, first of all, I'm sorry if this is not the meaning that I'm posting this here.

But the NME-review, in the list on the right, is one childish review.<br>
Actually, it's more of a comment by some guy that doesn't agree with the band, rather than a review.<br>
It's not I'm against it because it's negative and I personally love this album.<br>
Because if it's put there to show the mixed reviews, that's fine by me.<br>
But the quality of that review is just abysmal and again, it must be said, extremely childish.<br>
I just had to let anyone know, just have a look and you'll see it's just a short bashing-comment.<br>
Ending with giving a 2 out of 10 because the guy is just an ******* by nature.<br>

Honestly I don't understand why there is such a big deal with naming the record "pop rock". It is pretty obvious that there are pop rock songs on the album - In Between, Valentine's Day and Leave Out All The Rest. So why people are still changing it to alternative metal or nu metal? NU METAL? One reason, please. There is one metal song on the album - No More Sorrow - heavy guitar riff, marching percussion and screaming, no doubt about it. But it's just one song. Yeah, Given Up and Bleed It Out also contain heavy vocals, but the first in more punk/grunge with it's main riff, while the latter is a synthesis of rap rock and funk.
3 of 12 this is 1/4 of the whole album, I think this is enough to be mentioned in the genre section.
Still, even if we count NMS, BIO and GU as metal songs, there are 3 metal songs and 3 pop rock songs on the record (the rest being alternative rock). So why can't we just agree with the fact that LP has recorded some of these on MTM and put the genre into the info-box? I know that there are some die-hard Hybrid Theory and Meteora fans out there who just can't accept that LP don't play nu metal anymore, but[REDACTED] shouldn't lie only because of that. Right now someone not knowing the band could think that Minutes... is just another Meteora-like record, and that's pretty unfair.
So I will add Alternative metal because I thing ALternative rock as primary genre and alternative metal as secondary genre are a perfect fit and would cover up everything perfectly!

* Absolutely not.

Since this article says nothing about the album's genre or musical style(s), I think only the most general genre should be shown in the infobox. The current genre, alternative rock, which was restored twice without explanation after I changed it, is unsourced and debatable. I think just listing "rock" would be more sensible, especially as it covers the whole album, which no subgenre could do. Does anyone have any objections to my suggestion? ]] 23:41, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

:Thanks for having the sense to look at sources for genre, way too few people do that. I think rock is fine. pop metal redirects to glam metal anyway, and it clearly isn't that.

I check pages listed in ] to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for ] in wikilinked articles.

I can't determine which (if any) is correct for ''this'' article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Oh dear, this page seems to have fallen to genre trolling. Look, there's no way you can state that Linkin park are 'pure' rock. 'Rock' is an umbrella term. Yes, the album's subgenres are 'covered' by rock, but so are thousands of other albums (with completely different musical styles) dating back to the 60's! The idea of this website is you provide some detail as to the music's subgenre(s), not throw out some general term that provides no information whatsoever about the musical style. I'd call this album alternative rock, alternative metal and rap rock. Go online and you'll find plenty of valid sources that can be used to provide citations for those subgenres.

I seriously question the necessity of the leak section.

That happened. Moving on back to the article.' To pretty much be absolutely blunt about it, I dare say it's not even ] in the grand scheme of furthering the article along.

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: not moved. Favonian (talk) 11:44, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Minutes to Midnight (album) → Minutes To Midnight (album) – Currently, the title is Minutes to Midnight (album), but when reading the booklet that comes with the album, it is stylized as Minutes To Midnight with the "t" of "to" being capitalized. I know this is a minor change, but this is the capitalization that the band used in the booklet that came with the album. JDC808 (talk) 07:42, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
