Linkin Park's new album

It has been a week or less that i post something new. Now i'm gonna tell you about linkin Park's new album "LIVING THINGS' . Living Things is the fifth studio album by the American rock band Linkin Park. It was released under Warner Bros. Records and Machine Shop Recordings on June 20, 2012.

The band states that Living Things combines elements from their previous four studio albums to create a new sound. They stated they finally felt they were in "familiar territory" and "comfortable in [their] own skin" after years of experimentation that resulted in their two previous studio albums, Minutes to Midnight and A Thousand Suns. Living Things was chosen as the album's title because of the numerous personal topics on the album.
The lead single for the album, "Burn It Down", was sent to radio and released to digital music retailers on April 16, 2012. Living Things debuted at number one on Billboard 200 with sales of 223,000 copies in the United States in its opening week. And the single for this album " Burn it down" and "Lost in the Echo". First let's talk about " Burn It Down". It received a Mild Rating from Some magazine.

"Burn It Down" received favorable reviews from numerous professional critics. Nick Catucci from Rolling Stone gave the song 3 out of 5 stars, describing Bennington's verses as his "prettiest ever" and concluded that the song "leaves open the option of just dancing the night away." He also describes the song as one of the band's best singles. Chris Martins of Spin described the song as "seared but still high-sheen slab of cross-pollinated pop driven by four-on-the-floor pump and the pulse of guitars and synths irreparably fused together." Rick Florino of Artistdirect hailed "Burn It Down" as "one of the most incendiary tracks of 2012," awarding the song with a perfect 5 out of 5 stars. Anne Erickson of Loudwire gave it 4 out of 5 stars, praising Bennington and Shinoda's vocals, commenting that the song is "packed with subdued rhythms, riffs and raps, draped in a sea of atmospheric electronics." A reviewer of MusicEyz commended Shinoda's verses and the song's chorus, however he stated that the song "upon first listen made very little impact on [him]." Andrew Unterberger of Popdust felt mixed towards "Burn It Down", praising Bennington's vocals, while criticizing Shinoda's raps and the song's lyrics, giving it 3 out of 5 stars. About.com describes the song has "Gloriously icy keyboards and a propulsive beat enrapture the ear, but the words aren’t nearly as captivating, dealing in a familiar love-as-Armageddon conceit".







Well from my point of view " Living Things" is an unique Album it's different from "Minutes to Midnight", "Meteora", And "HYBRID THEORY". It's a bit similar to " A Thousand Suns" which is that they both have more Electronic sound than an Instrumental sound. Well it's not my favourite linkin park album but it's different not in the bad way but in the good way.
And Here is "Burn It Down" MV.
