Minutes to Midnight is the third studio album by American rock band Linkin Park, released on May 14, 2007 through Warner Bros. Records This album showed some change of genre of linkin park from nu metal to other experimental genres and this change was well greeted by fans. The album has been certified double platinum in the United States[6] and shipped over 3.3 million copies worldwide in its first four weeks of release.[7] It is their first studio album with a Parental Advisory label.

The album debuted at number one in the United States[8] and in 15 other countries, including the United Kingdom and Canada, around the world.[9] In the United States, the album had the biggest first week sales of 2007 at the time, with 625,000 albums sold. The album reached number twenty-five on Rolling Stone’s list of the Top 50 Albums of 2007.[10] The album has sold more than 8 millions copies worldwide as of October, 2009. The album is named in reference to the Doomsday Clock.

Minutes to Midnight was delayed several times before its release. First scheduled for Summer of 2006, then Fall of 2006, then early 2007, the album’s release date was finally set for May 15, 2007. In an interview in September 2006, Shinoda explained: “When songs are pouring out you don’t ever want to stop that. We already have over 100 roughs for songs. We’ve narrowed it down since but we’re not ready to commit to those yet.”

From the late stages of the demo sessions, the song “QWERTY”, which was rumored to be on Minutes to Midnight, appeared on the Linkin Park Underground v6.0 CD on December 5, 2006 in both live and studio demo versions.
