In my opinion, Burn It Down was a fairly average song the song never really went anywhere. Mike raps on the verse with aggression, reminiscent of A Place for my Head, and Chester’s clean vocals sweep the chorus in a very Minutes to Midnight-esque fashion. The band has managed to capture the raw energy from Hybrid Theory whilst adding in fresh high energy electronic elements. Lost in the Echo, the album opener is one of the strongest songs on the record. Tracks that stand out majorly for me are Lost in the Echo, Castle of Glass, Victimized and Until it Breaks. It contains features on at least one song that will appeal to a Linkin Park fan, old or new. If they hadn’t have released Hybrid Theory or A Thousand Suns, then there would be no Living Things. Living Things is a truly unique album, and somewhat of a summary of what Linkin Park is capable of.

Living Things combines musical elements from all of the bands previous albums from the aggressive drop C guitars to the more recent electronic aspects of songs. However don’t dismiss ‘Living Things’ as another disappointing release, because it isn’t. The short answer to that question is no, they haven’t gone back to their roots.

After this somewhat risky release, followers of the band were left wondering if Linkin Park had changed their sound for good, or if they were to return to the gritty nu-metal sound which gave the band their place in the industry. Some fans were fond of the new sound however some, including me, were disappointed with the drastic change in direction for the band.
