I find this song to be one of the strongest on this album, but, still we have a typical Linkin Park song. I love the first verse, and generally this song shows how great Chester is on this album. I’LL BE GONE: I think this song somehow calms me down more, than before on this album. Not an atypical composition for Linkin Park. When he’s not rapping we have Chester either punishing the chorus or softly singing our ears to calmness. The song once again has a lot of Mike Shinoda in it, which is great. Though I don’t feel this is the strongest of all the songs, I do feel that they’re too harsh. LIES GREED MISERY: I’ve seen some reviews stating that this song, featured in the new Medal of Honor-game, falls flat. Still a great anthem in its own right, BURN IT DOWN is a great first single from a band that isn’t afraid of breaking boundaries. However, at times I feel the song becomes to Pop’y – but, maybe that’s just because I’ve listened to it too many times. I think it once again follows a very recognizable code, that is Linkin Park – which is nice. BURN IT DOWN: We’ve known about this song for a very long time, us Linkin Park fans, but still, I’d like to say a few things about it. I really really like when Mike then shows up with: “Like an army, falling one by one by one.” – Which sets the tone for another awesome Chester chorus. A marvellous display of how Chester is not just a chorus-singer. This time we have Chester taking on almost the entire song on his own. Perhaps I wasn’t really paying attention because, now, after I’ve listened to the entire album around 6 or 7 times – I really dig it. IN MY REMAINS: We move on to a song that I, at first, didn’t really like. This song shows something that is essential on the entire album, I’ll get to this later. I simply love this song, and the chorus in particular. With Mike showing his skills with the mike during the different verses, and Chester taking the chorus on. I’m gonna go through the album slowly, taking each song into account.įirst up is “LOST IN THE ECHO”. I love Linkin Park, I love their albums – but now, I’m gonna try not to be biased even though that may be impossible. On this album we have songs that remind me of every album. I applaud this Evolution, but, it seems as though they’ve now shown that they can still make every kind of music. Through the years we’ve listened to a lot of different versions of Linkin Park. However, I feel this album shows us just how versatile these guys can be. Now, we have a new album, and Living Things is not Hybrid Theory or Meteora. Something other bands can only dream of doing. I’ve loved that they proved they could evolve.
And thus started a whole new discussion when are you a fan? I’m not gonna answer that, however, I’ve never hated the Evolution of Linkin Park. They were not the same band that they’d heard in the beginning of the 21 st Century. It was refreshing for me to, once again, get something very different from what they’d done before. It told a story, even more so than any other album they’ve made. After Minutes to Midnight another ‘Transformer’ album came. It’s an album that I find very pleasing, when looking back. Still, I loved this album and I still do. This was apparently not what they saw Linkin Park as being. It was different, and some fans were outraged. We had the album Minutes to Midnight that really changed the style. I’ve enjoyed those projects, and I still do. Now I see these projects as being a part of Linkin Park, even though they may not be. The two most well-known side projects being Mike Shinoda’s Fort Minor & Chester Bennington’s Dead by Sunrise. But what I remember very well was the side running projects that, still to this day, remain memorable. Never have I heard any album as good as they were. Hybrid Theory and Meteora were simply magnificent. Linkin Park had to evolve following two albums that were the closest thing to be perfect that I think any band has made within the last 12 years. How do you follow two albums that were almost perfect? You simply can’t. Granted not all fans believe they’ve gotten better, and perhaps they haven’t, but that’s not the point. It blew my mind, and since then they’ve evolved. Now, I’ve been a fan of Linkin Park ever since Hybrid Theory. Let’s start with the complete list of songs on the Album: Originally Published: 26th of June 2012, 18:25.
