It seems slightly crazy to me that Linkin Park are just about ready to drop their fifth studio album called “Living Things“, but then again this is a band that has been around the public consciousness for over 12 years now.
Production on the new album was handled again by co-lead vocalist Mike Shinoda and the legendary Rick Rubin, who both co-produced the band’s two previous studio albums. Thankfully though, their new lead single “Burn It Down” sounds a lot more like their earlier work, whilst still demonstrating musical growth and progression. Certainly filling me with a greater sense of hope than the lead singles from both “Minutes To Midnight” and “A Thousand Suns“.
Let us know what you make of it though.
