With Korn suddenly doing dubstep and Limp Bizkit covering the same old ground for fewer fans, Linkin Park are arguably the sole survivors of the nu-metal movement. The secret of their success? Striking a happy balance between those “adapt or die” and “if it aint broke” attitudes, moving gradually away from the blistering rap-rock of Hybrid Theory to an increasingly electronic realm on last album A Thousand Suns. Fifth studio effort LIVING THINGS, finds Mike Shinoda and co sat on the caps lock and coalescing on all aspects on their career to date, fusing those recent electronic influences with the huge riffs and massive choruses of yore.
