    Great and underrated album, not many points of weakness. Some of the later weird tracks like 'Roads Untravelled' are kind of forgettable but that doens't matter with phenomenal pieces such as 'Burn It Down' and 'Powerless'.

    Honestly, Living Things might be my favourite Linkin Park album, my personal favorite songs are Burn it down and Castle of glass, those songs helped me during many hardships.

    A perfect mix of electronic and rock,
    The album blends together nicely.
    Tracks like lost in the echo, burn it down and victimized are your more traditionally sounding linkin Park tracks, a few ballads thrown in like roads untravelled and powerless and a few electronic ones like lies, greedy, misery. along with castle of glass give the album a prefect balance, really enjoyed this one

    Один из самых любимых альбомов. Песни трогательные. "Burn it Down", "Lost in the Echo" и "Castle of Glass" на верхушке.

    Although it’s a really good album, some tracks didn’t worked from me, I couldn’t help but felling like something was missing

    I'm honestly surprised, this is a stellar album overall, and I really dig the new direction.

    Bold stuff and proof Shinoda remains a richly talented creative force. [Aug 2012, p.103]

    Living Things is a very good entry that's simply not as special as its precursor. All in all, Linkin Park has always been a bit unique and the best at what they do, and they continue to excel on this album. Just don't expect too much from it.

    Too often, Living Things is the sound of a band with vast talent, but also one that hasn't figured out where to go next. [23 Jun 2012, p.52]
