Fan Review: Linkin Park- The Hunting Party // Listening Session at The Attic

I had the amazing opportunity of attending today’s listening party for Linkin Park’s upcoming album The Hunting Party.

Unlike my early arrivals for concerts and past listening events for the albums, I was cutting it pretty close arriving about fifteen minutes before noon, coming into the line as they were announcing bags and all electronic devices will be held, and we needed our IDs at hand. (mor…

"Guilty All The Same" No. 1 on Active Rock!

Daily US Radio Updates - Active Rock

fuse:
The new Linkin Park joint is more aggressive and propulsive than their last album Living Things, which 1) Is sure to please longtime fans and 2) Will probably sound great in concert. As for Rakim, the Paid In Full rapper is still in top form lyrically on his fiery, commanding verse, which kicks in at the 3:40 mark.

metalhammer:
The rock heavyweights – who play seminal debut Hybrid Theory in full at Download in June – collaborated with heavyweight MC Rakim on Guilty All The Same, which shows some slightly heavier flourishes compared to their more recent material, as well as a couple of nods to their nu metal heyday.

mtv:
The track opens with crunching chords and throbbing bass, then quickly builds to a breakneck pace, highlighted by a doomsday guitar solo and ominous, otherworldly synthesizers — it’s nearly 90 seconds until we hear the Chester Bennington’s vocals — and doesn’t let up from there, packing a widescreen chorus, a cameo by hip-hop legend Rakim, plenty of planetarium-ready pyro and even more squelching, squealing guitar into its six-minute running time.

complex:
The song is a back to basics turn for Linkin Park, who have not been afraid to experiment with new sounds and styles — and it shows.

loudwire:
The tune, which finds the band featuring more of a guitar-driven rock sound, is an aggressive 6-minute track that features Chester Bennington handling primary vocals throughout except for the hip-hop verses from Rakim that appear toward the end.

The band have officially confirmed a 2014 release for their new record, but refuse to spill any description of the sound they’re going for. “Every time I do that, people take that and run with it and it ends up not - I mean, we change our minds about what’s gonna happen every couple weeks,” says singer and producer Mike Shinoda.

7. Linkin Park
Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park spoke of the band’s follow up to 2012’s Living Things during a fan Q&A (via Ultimate-Guitar). According to Shinoda the band is still evolving sonically: “I think that we’re still in the changing mode,” said Shinoda. “Our first two records were really like brother albums, they were similar in style and then after that we just really tried to branch away - try different things, stretch ourselves creatively, learn new things in the studio, play with new styles of music.” Mike had some really positive news regarding the next Linkin Park album, saying: “We’re in the studio working right now, I was with Chester just last night - Chester and Brad and Joe - and we were writing some new stuff,” said Mike. “So hopefully we would like to get something out to people next year.”

Chester Bennington may be lending his vocal talents to Stone Temple Pilots, but Linkin Park are by no means over. The rock / nu-metal act released their fifth studio album, ‘Living Things,’ in 2012 and the group is looking to craft a speedy follow-up for 2014. In a recent ‘Ask Anything’ chat with Linkin Park members Mike Shinoda and Steve Aoki, Shinoda expressed a desire to release the band’s sixth studio album in 2014.
