You can tell Chester was really enthusiastic about this album and happy about the process that led to it. Albums are always good when people are that enthusiastic about the process.
God I love this band... I mean they way they do things.... WOW... And how Mike said that Rick told them that nobody works the same... THAT is so true!!!
I love the album. Its really the combination of everything they've done Lost in the Echo - From the Inside / Blackout In My Remains - What I've done with Hands Held High drum style at the bridge Burn It Down - The Catalyst Lies Greed Misery - Bleed it out I'll be gone - New Divide Castle of Glass - Robot Boy Victimized - Given Up / Wretches and Kings Roads Untraveled - In Between Skin to Bone - No Roads Left Until It Break - When they come for me Powerless - Iridescent
This was the best album produced in human history. Only few could understand the depth of meaning that linkin park songs hold. I feel blessed to have a sense to enjoy the level of this music.
"We have so many different faces that you can't just stick it in one spot." They're not nu metal, they're Linkin Park. Expecting them to keep releasing albums with the same style is both boring and stupid. If you don't like the new stuff, don't listen to it. If you like nu metal, listen to nu metal. This is Linkin Park. They did nu metal in the past, it doesn't mean they have to keep doing it.
i have loved all of their albums up to date and my favourite is Living Things- it's got such meaning and it's so diverse but not too out there like country or anything. but really their mix of genres have been just right and the next thing they do will be great I'm sure!
This is what I love about LP, they try to appeal to all audiences of music lovers not just one. I like the mixture it's what makes them unique! Another thing I love about LP is that they don't have one main stand out leader in the band, everyone stands out. I also love how they aren't fighting for everyone to love them, they just are being themselves and that's why I love them! A lot of singers seem to forget that.
Joe isn't just "the guy that makes scratching noises in the songs". He does other stuff with turntables (which is what you were thinking of, by the way), he plays keyboards, synths, samplers, etc. Not to mention he's the director of 90% of Linkin Park's videos. He most certainly has not "disappeared". Ironically, he's probably the one making those electronic noises in the songs you find so disappointing. Sorry to burst your bubble, but there's more to music than heavy guitars and screaming.
Honestly this is my favorite album by them now, and I've followed Linkin Park for years. Living thing shows a true mix of all of the members styles, from hardcore hip hop, to punk rock. It's still filled with the old school aggressive lyrics we've grown to love, just in a medley of different music genres as well.
the only people that do that are hurt because they loved LP in their old days and feel like they're gone but they're not they just grew up you don't need to worry about them they'll soon get over it & realise you don't have to adore every single lp song to be a fan We still are a big family:) and wow you go way back with lp! I'm13 now & started liking them when i was 7 and i heard what i've done I didn't like them that much to start with but later i heard one step closer and now I'm a huge fan:D
It's so cool to watch this video again, after having listened to Living Things a few times now. They're absolutely right, the album is powerful, crazy, absolutely awesome. I love it!
i love living things... i love LP... just hope that they keep making more music... hey might have been around for a long time , but lets hope they keep going on!
Looking forward to getting this album. I like the way they are difficult to compartmentalise into a specific genre. They get behind their passions both musically and politically. I am not surprised that Rubin says no other band works the way they do. Keep going guys. We love you. xxx
I'd fucking pay just to watch them work, yes FUCKING PAY. Haven't seen this kind of commitment and dedication anywhere else, their work ethics are on a whole another level, from the melody to the album artwork, everything is fucking original and unlike anything else.
This is so awesome, all of a sudden burn it down has dropped because these other preview are freakin amazing. they sound great!!Cant wait LP. I LOVE YOU!!!
This sounds amazing. Seriously. The beats, the flow, everything. Cant wait! Linkin Park has always been an inspiration, ever since they first started, and always will be.
This album takes the best of the best of every album they've done and manages to take it to the next level and I can't put it down. it's in my studio, my car, my phone; it's everywhere!!!
I found LT to be their most powerful, diversified, and inspirational album to date. I do agree with the fact that the previous 4 cd's had to be before they could come to this breakthrough amalgam of sound(not that they weren't already unique and extremely creative) Every track has a different way of proving what LP is, what they stand for, and I am grateful they can't ever be stuck in just 1 spot. People can judge, but they're bringing music to a more meaningful and contemplative level.
I love this album the most. I love how this album is filled with many different genres. The hardcore that we first heard from Hybrid Theory and the new tastes we first heard in Minutes to Midnight. Overall I feel they combined it together and in the end many people will know that "its not rock. its not rap. Its Linkin Park" Just like what they said before that they want people to recognize their music by their name, and not by the genre of music in the album! Awesome job Linkin Park! Keep it up!
This album has a very very different feel to the other albums. This goes through so many different genres it's unreal. You can be in the mood for a certain song but then think... im not sure ill listen to that song at the mo. Thats what i love about the linkin park discography, but for there to be even more diversity within one album is just phenominal. A true landmark!
They've progressed so much since their debut. I had a revelation yesterday: Living Things and A Thousand Suns have genuinely become my favorite two LP albums.. when a year ago, I would've said I hated ATS. But they've innovated beyond my expectations to become even greater than they were.
A comeback album, an emancipating take; An unorthodox image, a zealous breakthrough; A prodigious talent, a knockout contraption; Long live LP & their amazing journey in creating music of evolution!
I know their older albums are amazing too but I don't see how some fans can hate this album, i think it's one of their best and it really shows how unique and creative linkin park are :D & i love how hyper Chester gets while talking about all of the styles of music they've blended XD
i watched this video like 4 times and every time I see it it reminds me of why I love them so much. I'm waiting till the 26th and I can't wait to hear it XD
Glad to see there are some people like me who just like LP music, no matter what they do. Love the old stuff, love the new turn they've taken. You've definitely satisfied your fans LP. Living Things will keep us until your next album comes out (hopefully in about 16 months if they literally release one every 18 months now).
HOLY CRAP. JUST GIVE ME THIS ALBUM ALREADY. This video broke me, i can't wait anymore. I really need this album. This band is, in all seriousness, the most amazing band that anyone will have the pleasure to listen to because they stick it to music like no one else will ever do.
I've been listening to the band since I was just a child and I know many of the songs from their albums by memory. I consider myself a huge fan of Linkin Park and that's just what real fans of bands do. I don't want to end up hating the band because it's making other people who like their new sound happy like me when I heard their old stuff.
I just finished listening to the entire album in iTunes, with the Stream. I was literally touched. I miss Hybrid Theory and Meteroa, but also liked the other albums. This album not only pays tribute to their older music, it sounds fresh, new, and has that unique sound only possible by Linkin Park. I used to think LP betrayed the fan base. Now I realize that they are the epitome of talent and sound. Welcome back Linkin Park. It's been a while.
100% true ! They have a vision and they go according to that. They want every album to be different so they come up with different music. Technology in music industry is developing, so LP gets whatever new stuffs they could get and play around with that and get tunes out of it. We need to listen to their song with the time we are living in and that is PRESENT !!! I love LP and their dedication :) LP forever :)
This album has got to be my all time favourite. It's got the awesome catchy techno tunes similar to Numb, some great rapping, maing the most out of Mikes reat singing too, a great mix of singing styles from chester, and so much more. They've definitely taken the best parts from the past, and mashed them up with an epic new energitic sound. LP, YOU F***ING ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These guys went crazy!!! They exchanged their death-, nu-, rapcore-, metal style to folk and dub-step. I can't believe that!!! They went crazy and i will go for them!!! Love your evolution guys! LP it's the bravest band ever!!! They're legends!!!!
This album is just great, i feel like they mixed the best things from Minutes to Midnight and Thousand Suns with bringing back some old style... Some of the songs, like Roads Untraveled and Powerless just touched me deeply, the lyrics, the melody. Beautiful, thank you LP!
one thing i like about lp is that they can reinvent themselves where other artists lack to do. they can go back to their old ways if they wanted to but they chose to sound different which is a good thing. living things is an awesome album...
i'm going to music the school and i play the piano. after one year i wanted to quit but my dad and my mum didn't allow it so i continued the second year, it finished then i wanted to quit again but i didn't told that to them because when i see these guys i want to play it forever they are so inspirational i love them
loooove your enthusiasm and your passion for music..i think that what makes you unique is your unshaped, original style.. i'll definitely love the album...it sounds freakin' good ;) :D
this is amazing!!!!! I have lived through the saga of the albums of linkin park!!!!! They have changed as i have... Amazing.... waiting for the end to come.......to burn it down... and then get lost in the echo...........
You can tell Chester was really enthusiastic about this album and happy about the process that led to it. Albums are always good when people are that enthusiastic about the process.
God I love this band... I mean they way they do things.... WOW... And how Mike said that Rick told them that nobody works the same... THAT is so true!!!
No wonder this is the reason behind Linkin Park's uniqueness and success.
I love the album. Its really the combination of everything they've done
Lost in the Echo - From the Inside / Blackout
In My Remains - What I've done with Hands Held High drum style at the bridge
Burn It Down - The Catalyst
Lies Greed Misery - Bleed it out
I'll be gone - New Divide
Castle of Glass - Robot Boy
Victimized - Given Up / Wretches and Kings
Roads Untraveled - In Between
Skin to Bone - No Roads Left
Until It Break - When they come for me
Powerless - Iridescent
This was the best album produced in human history. Only few could understand the depth of meaning that linkin park songs hold. I feel blessed to have a sense to enjoy the level of this music.
Linkin Park, you're insane and I _LOVE_ it!!!!!!
"We have so many different faces that you can't just stick it in one spot."
They're not nu metal, they're Linkin Park. Expecting them to keep releasing albums with the same style is both boring and stupid. If you don't like the new stuff, don't listen to it. If you like nu metal, listen to nu metal. This is Linkin Park. They did nu metal in the past, it doesn't mean they have to keep doing it.
Honestly I think at this stage a characteristic of a nu-metal bands is that they aren't JUST nu-metal, especially nowadays.
i have loved all of their albums up to date and my favourite is Living Things- it's got such meaning and it's so diverse but not too out there like country or anything. but really their mix of genres have been just right and the next thing they do will be great I'm sure!
i'd like to quote Brad "The best things happen just in a moment."....this album's fuckin amazing
Chester looks so enthusiastic about this album and I can't wait to listen to the CD!!!!**
This is what I love about LP, they try to appeal to all audiences of music lovers not just one. I like the mixture it's what makes them unique!

Burn It Down's music video suits Castle of Glass and Roads Untraveled perfectly
1:56 for the first time I saw Chester looks like that :D
Joe isn't just "the guy that makes scratching noises in the songs". He does other stuff with turntables (which is what you were thinking of, by the way), he plays keyboards, synths, samplers, etc. Not to mention he's the director of 90% of Linkin Park's videos.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but there's more to music than heavy guitars and screaming.
I love how Chester got so excited :D It's obvious that they are all really proud of this album :)
Honestly this is my favorite album by them now, and I've followed Linkin Park for years. Living thing shows a true mix of all of the members styles, from hardcore hip hop, to punk rock.

Rob is so quiet :S

I can't handle how much I love Linkin Park. IT'S INSANE!
gosh...that's so amazing.just look at the passion they're talking with and the same I can feel in every song in this album
LIVING THINGS ; me trae tantos recuerdos contigo amada JULITH...y sin dudas es un disco increible.
LINKIN PARK VUELVAN A CHILE !!!!!!!!!!!
This LP's best record!!
Amo essa banda maravilhosa.. Linkin Park eternamente ;)
Best album yet.
You can find Linkin Park's best moment in this album. From Hybrid Theory to A Thousand Suns. Everything.
It's so cool to watch this video again, after having listened to Living Things a few times now. They're absolutely right, the album is powerful, crazy, absolutely awesome. I love it!
i love living things... i love LP... just hope that they keep making more music...

It truly takes a band with experience, the ear, and just awesomeness to hear the album I heard. Linkin Park blows me away.
Living things is such a fantastic album, I can't stop listening. Amazing job.
I'd fucking pay just to watch them work, yes FUCKING PAY. Haven't seen this kind of commitment and dedication anywhere else, their work ethics are on a whole another level, from the melody to the album artwork, everything is fucking original and unlike anything else.
This is so awesome, all of a sudden burn it down has dropped because these other preview are freakin amazing. they sound great!!Cant wait LP. I LOVE YOU!!!
i am hearing the free stream from iTunes right now at this moment and the album sounds amazing
the album is amazing!!!!!!!! I love the vocals in every song but the vocals in in my remains sound so good
This sounds amazing. Seriously. The beats, the flow, everything. Cant wait! Linkin Park has always been an inspiration, ever since they first started, and always will be.
Любимый альбом
I miss Chester everyday man. It hurts
I absolutely love the record, I love them amazing talent, people, just AMAZINGGG

0:36 and Rob just sits there. gotta love him.

Can't stop listen to the iTunes stream of Living Things. Hands down, favorite LP album.
I've already listened to Living Things and I wanna hours of music like this!
I love the way Linkin Park has the ability to make us feel like they looked into our hearts and wrote songs from what they saw. Love the new album!!
like the last few albums..only after a few listen i feel its awesomeness
This album has a very very different feel to the other albums. This goes through so many different genres it's unreal. You can be in the mood for a certain song but then think... im not sure ill listen to that song at the mo. Thats what i love about the linkin park discography, but for there to be even more diversity within one album is just phenominal. A true landmark!
FINALLY.!! thank you for understanding.!! God Bless YOU.!!
reallyreallyreallyreally loved the album, definetly the best so far
Love you guys!!! Keep up the amazing work!! I want to be able to take my younger brother to your concert some day when he's old enough
So Pumped for this... Hope LP comes back to Australia soon. I so want to see them again..
They've progressed so much since their debut. I had a revelation yesterday: Living Things and A Thousand Suns have genuinely become my favorite two LP albums.. when a year ago, I would've said I hated ATS. But they've innovated beyond my expectations to become even greater than they were.
A comeback album, an emancipating take; An unorthodox image, a zealous breakthrough; A prodigious talent, a knockout contraption;
Long live LP & their amazing journey in creating music of evolution!
I just have to say - Mike, I totally agree with you. I think this album is the best so far. Congratulations, man. Keep going forward.
I love that when they create songs mike is so active and kinda leads the band into getting into the song aswell. Really great job !
I know their older albums are amazing too but I don't see how some fans can hate this album, i think it's one of their best and it really shows how unique and creative linkin park are :D & i love how hyper Chester gets while talking about all of the styles of music they've blended XD

Chester was kinda rapping in the verses on Blackout, and doing the same with Mike on The Catalyst

0:00 - 0:25 - Lost in the Echo

I was literally touched.

Chester was so enthusiastic about the album and the music! So cute!
Very wonderful album, I listened to him full.

Technology in music industry is developing, so LP gets whatever new stuffs they could get and play around with that and get tunes out of it.

i googled that song after your comment as i had never heard of it and it is epic so thankyou! :-)
This album has got to be my all time favourite. It's got the awesome catchy techno tunes similar to Numb, some great rapping, maing the most out of Mikes reat singing too, a great mix of singing styles from chester, and so much more. They've definitely taken the best parts from the past, and mashed them up with an epic new energitic sound. LP, YOU F***ING ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw them on their 2007-2008 Projekt Revolution tours. They are incredible especially when you're sitting right there with them.
These guys went crazy!!! They exchanged their death-, nu-, rapcore-, metal style to folk and dub-step. I can't believe that!!! They went crazy and i will go for them!!!
Love your evolution guys! LP it's the bravest band ever!!! They're legends!!!!
I WANNA SCREAM! THIS IS FRICKING AWWWWWWWWWWWWSOOOOOOOOOMMMME! LP ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOX!
Can't wait for the new album! So excited!
This album is just great, i feel like they mixed the best things from Minutes to Midnight and Thousand Suns with bringing back some old style... Some of the songs, like Roads Untraveled and Powerless just touched me deeply, the lyrics, the melody. Beautiful, thank you LP!
i went to one when they had just released minutes to midnight it was amazing they are brilliant live!
one thing i like about lp is that they can reinvent themselves where other artists lack to do. they can go back to their old ways if they wanted to but they chose to sound different which is a good thing. living things is an awesome album...
living thing awesome can't wait to buy it new album...
The album is amazing. Has that kind of "Minutes to Midnight" sound. I cant stop listening :)
I just listened to it on itunes, the full album stream. It was great! I really like the ash to ashes dust to dust song. So freaking insane!
i'm going to music the school and i play the piano. after one year i wanted to quit but my dad and my mum didn't allow it so i continued the second year, it finished then i wanted to quit again but i didn't told that to them because when i see these guys i want to play it forever they are so inspirational i love them
