One can no longer see or hear: "The old albums were better ... blah blah blah." I must say that I've listened to every album impartially and also have so accepted. So I find it also in "The Hunting Party". It's a blast, so powerful to hear alone Chesters voice is amazing. I grew up with Linkin Park, at the age of 13 years I bought because I "Crawling" super toll was the album Hybrid Theory. After me, the mania to Linkin Park never let go and I have every album, including remixes and live albums. I saw it at that time with 13 years to be defined as a rebellion to me with the new music, after I've previously heard only son Popkram. It was the beginning of my "rock-listening time". Linkin Park have accompanied me there and always will. They have never let me down. Each album, no matter what episode reflects a piece of band history, as it reflects a part of my life. I can remember thanks to many songs exactly what I have just done at the time (now I am 25). It does not matter whether harder or softer, it does matter to the feeling and expression in music, which is associated with it, and whether the songs go to the ear. Linkin Park put particularly a lot of energy and power in the new songs, but also feeling (at Until it's gone-mad kraftvoll- but also simultaneously moved, for example, in Final Masquerade). I think just on this album is for each Linkin Park fan something for everyone, there are soft sides and there's the hard rock sites. Just terrific these powerful songs such as rebellion, Keys to the Kingdom, wastelands and A Line in the Sand are precisely recorded. A Line in the Sand is a near-perfect final song. One does not know at first what to expect, it is quiet, it is stronger and thus reflects this song perfectly the whole album resist. Thank you for the music! And who needs to complain, take yourself in hand tools and makes it better !!!
