different again ... and no Hybrid Theory 2.0 !!!

Linkin Park at that time were the heroes of my youth with the two albums Hybrid Theory and Meteora. Minutes to Midnight was different, but fit well in my personal development (seen with 18 things really differently than with 14). As a Thousands came out I thought what is that kind of stuff and have the LP back gekehrt.Von Living Things I knew only the singles and then I heard recently until its GoOne and was surprised.
It has again become rockier at LP. Alledings differently to HT or Meteora. This songs sound raw, not so much overproduced as the early 2000s. But do not worry as with St. Anger by Metallica is not. What is really apparent, it was strongly put on heavy riffs and for the texts and especially this anthemic choruses are gone. For the Intros and Bridges are very strong. Chester's voice makes everything by the scream to melodic vocals, but really is the hard rock in the foreground.

The album begins with Key to the Kingdom. A comical beginning, but a very strong rhythm and the sound is awesome. In particular, the 2.Verse woo Mike raps has a hot rhythm and yes that sounds like HT 2.0.
This is followed by all for Nothing. Sounds good Allerding I do not like the voice of Page in the chorus, because MICR Chester would have preferred.

Guilty all the same. Begins very funny silent, I like All thing with the piano and use the slow exaggerate the song. I particularly like the outro of the chorus before Chester only the title repeated .. very well to rock and the bridge is also very good with Rakim. Top !!!
War follows next and sounds a lot like Dead By Sunrise. Edgy, punky, fast song. I like.

Wastelands sounds very good, but the text is unimaginative and since then missing but lyrically much compared to HT.Musikalisch top.

Until its gon is a great song,
Rebellion sounds really good, allerdinsg the Chours is very unimaginative ... rebellion Rebelion ... Because you could have done more real.
With the songs drwabar I can do nothing so just start nu instrumental (which could have been to give cure for the Itch had still something .... but that does not) mark the graves I do not like to say popiger chorus and nothing. A line in the sand is completely past me.

So the drawback for me is that the depth lacking in the texts. probably. was indeed Chesters statement wanting every 18 months rausbringen an album of reason because iwie lack of proper elaboration and what bothers me .. the album has a Spielzei of kanpp 40 min. Sorry this is really too short. 60 min it should already be in prices. In addition, a weak instrumental bbefindet it and there are too many filler at the end there. However, I like songs like today Pts of Authority, Forgotten, by Myself no longer so.Deswegen there by me 3 stars. Do me favor Keys to the Kingdom, Guilty, Until its Gone, Rebellion (without chorus is so lame) and War.
