More rock, less frills, less Electro - curve got.

Clearly straighter, harder-frills and consistently rockier than the two previous albums, "A Thousand Suns" and "Living Things".

LP renounce song determining electric elements and are dedicated to increasing garage rock.
So, as they had said to "We go now time for 2 weeks in the studio and play fast, without much fanfare, a rock record a -. Simply because we just feel like it, no matter what critics say"
Highlight in this respect: the snotty "was".

Who knew to appreciate the harder Linkin Park, is - according to the unnecessary, horrible dub remix album from 2013 - here have a lot more fun at the band again. Most of the songs are lined up in the tradition of songs like "qwerty". Ie especially: Chester shoutet the emotions from the body, accompanied by rich riffs / Drums and fast, energetic arrangements.

But it is not only geshoutet and bludgeoned: Even more balanced pieces - already from "Minutes of Midnight" found themselves - are on "Hunting Party" here. For example, "a line in the sand". Quiet passages are but a distinct minority.

Okay, catchy songs with choruses like "Until It's Gone", "final masquerade", "All for Nothing" or the gefeaturte "rebellion" really are no new milestones of rock music - but they go straight into your ears and get stuck. And it's not what (even in the past LP) Hits constituted ("Numb", etc)?

Standard version: 12 tracks, including 2 instrumentals; Running Time: 45 min.
Deluxe Edition: 4 Bonus Tracks (1 Acoustic, Live 2, 1 Remix), 61 min.

No masterpiece, but a good work. No bad buy.
