shred Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Right. It leaked. Disappointed that it's not another A Thousand Suns ( :P ). It's just another Minutes to Midnight - though slightly better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TryWhistlingThis Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Overall, I like the album but i'm not sure where to place it. After my first listen it doesn't seem likely to be my favourite Linkin Park record because I think it spends too much time between albums rather than focusing on a definite direction. As different from one another as their previous four albums have been, they've been rooted into a style or achieved a cohesiveness. With Living Things, it's very much the album they've promised in interviews. That is, it combines the albums they have done to date but without being a nu metal album. It's definitely a very modern Linkin Park album which is strongly influenced by A Thousand Suns but arguably has more guitar and a few more screams than we've been hearing as of late. It's a much shorter album than the previous two and contains no interludes but does have an instrumental. Standout tracks for me are Burn It Down, Lies Greed Misery, Victimised, and Roads Untraveled. The album definitely has its standout tracks, but overall it has also left me asking "what now?" It has grown on me, i've warmed to it and I do like it. But, it's not my favourite Linkin Park album. Probably my third favourite from the ones I have: 1. A Thousand Suns 2. Minutes To Midnight 3. Living Things 4. Hybrid Theory Overall, I think the album suffers from trying to cover too many bases in a very short period of time. Although it's an ambitious record in the way that it really does bring together the previous four albums, the sound doesn't always marry up the way they want it to. You need to remember that what made Minutes To Midnight and A Thousand Suns such watershed moments in the band's career was their extreme departure from the first two albums. Living Things stands up as an album on its own, but in trying to win back some old fans, fit into the current mould of popular music AND trying to expand their sound, Linkin Park have given themselves the arduous and virtually impossible task of being able to tick all of the boxes. 3 out of 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said before, it sounds a lot like MtM but better. It has elements of ATS in it which makes it better than MtM in my opinion. I find that the second half of the album is so much better than the first. For me, my favs would be: Castle of Glass Roads Untraveled Skin to Bone Tinfoil And my album rankings would be: 1. A Thousand Suns 2. Hybrid Theory 3. Living Things 4. Meteora 5. Minutes to Midnight. To be honest, at this moment, I can't decide whether LT is better than Meteora or Meteora is better than LT.

thegoldrush Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 So excited for Living Things. I've been waiting forever :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider-Man Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I found the album on Youtube. You can tell what the definite standout tracks are. To me this album does combine the old with the new. It's good despite what people think. That all I have to say about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Written In Graffiti Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Love this album. In fact, I love it as much as I love Hybrid Theory and A Thousand Suns. I love all of their material, but this ranks amongst their best stuff, for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nvdmm Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 absolutely brilliant stuff on Living Things. their music just has that rare edge missing in coldplay's music (and a lot of other bands actually). my absolute favourites are castle of glass and lies greed misery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 The Hunting Party is available to stream on iTunes! Not a big fan of it, nothing is really memorable apart from the odd track or two later on in the album. Much prefer Living Things and Recharged was great imo :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Heard the new singles and am not feeling it. Still feel A Thousand Suns is their best (alongside HT) imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Still think this is their weakest album so far, its still a good listen now, just nothing special. Final Masquerade is a tune, the best on the album for me. I do like A Thousand Suns, Blackout is my favourite LP song :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lonely Martian Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 The Hunting Party is such an interesting record. It's an awesome record, but the whole thing just sounds, well, different. I get fuzzy feelings listening to the record, but I'll probably get used to it's sound in a few months or so. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 4 songs into the new album and I had to turn it off. It was too noisy for me. Didn't like it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nvdmm Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I still need more time to deliver a final verdict on the album but the overall sound of it is superb. And the fact they decided to just say fuck it and go back to their roots and make a pure rock LP record really really pleased a lot of fans. This is what they should be making and its miles better than living things. By the way could we please have a poll so people can vote which of their records they think is best?!

ARushOfDreamsToMyHead Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I wasn't much of a Linkin Park fan but I send my condolences to both their fanbase and Bennington's family. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krizer Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I have been an LP fan for a long time. I couldn't believe the news when I heard this. Terrible. I just started crying. For years, their music has played such a big role in my life. I feel very grateful to have seen them play live and to have met the band. Condolences to the family, the band, and all the other fans.
