For me, Linkin Park has -along other great bands- always been with me. At the end of my pre-teen, through my long teenage years, to today. The alternative rap rock sound spoke to me from the moment, a young version of myself, turned on the kitchen cassette-radio and heard their smash hit Somewhere I Belong for the first time. Those busted speakers have never sounded so good.
And on June 20th, 2012 all the planets aligned, a blue mood appeared and Linkin Park released their fifth studio album, Living Things. I’ll admit that the “alternative rap rock sound” I once heard is long gone, that’s been the sad truth I’ve had to digest since Minutes To Midnight.
Regardless of the change in style, I love their latest album. It’s message is simple, emotional and can easily connect with personal experiences. As a faithful follower of this band, I give it a Ten out of Ten.
