Jul 17, 2014A spectacular album with a lot of amazing instrumentals that can blow you away at first listen! Definitely a good addition to Linkin Park's discography!
-
Jul 2, 2014This is a fantastic album, one of the best of the year. Very heavy, very genuine music! I think this is better than Minutes to midnight, a thousand suns and living things! Go LP!!!

Jan 15, 2015A very good comeback from Living Things. Living Things were too pop, while the Hunting Party, comared to them, really remings me of the good old Hybrid Theory and Meteora.
-
Jul 10, 2014Linkin Park The Hunting Party is a great combination of sound's from diferent styles like Alternative rock,Metal,Trash,Punk and some soft stuff that make this album one of the complex intrumentation music they ever made! I hope Linkin Park will make another album like this with the next one in 2016!!!
-
Aug 10, 2014Back to the roots. If you liked Hybrid Theory and Meteora this is the Linkin Park album you have been waiting for. It is an Linkin Park album without a weak song.
-
Dec 7, 2014Thank god LP dropped that new style and came back to their roots. This album proves that LP is still alive to kick some ass!
This is a must-buy for all LP fans. -
Mar 3, 2015Once again, Linkin Park manages to produce another successful, different album. Some songs might be too long for their own good like Guilty All the Same and A Line in the Sand, but the other tracks are a great length. The mix of angry, heavy songs with lighter, melodic songs is great and I can't wait to see how they make their next album different.

Jul 27, 2015The Hunting Party is, in my opinion, Linkin Park's second best album (I prefer a thousand suns) it really have some fantastic songs, like Wastelands, and it also have a metal touch to many musics.

Jun 17, 2014another great album from a great band,this album is heavy compared to their last few albums,guilty all the same is an awesome song,a must have album for all those who loved their first two albums "hbd" and "meteora"..
-
Jun 17, 2014it's like Drowned in Sound is mad at Linkin Park. Dont look at their review, and just listen to the album for yourself...
Album needs to be listened to from Keys to the Kingdom to A Line in the Sand. It is just solid and well put together. Only song i dont like listening to but fits is Until Its Gone. They needed a song to slow the pace from the hard hitting first half of the album. -

Jun 17, 2014I was pleasantly surprised that Linkin Park was able to return to their heavier rock roots. This album stands along with Hybrid Theory and just behind Meteora, easily surpassing A Thousand Suns, Living Things, and Minutes to Midnight.
-
Jun 17, 2014Clearly still the best band in the genre they created, LP tears it up with their sixth album. It's loud, it's complex, it's raw, and most of all it's LP.
-
Jun 17, 2014Linkin Park is back! After a fairly bland effort with Living Things LP have managed to return to their hard rock/alternative metal roots and come out with a great album. Although not perfect, Until It's Gone being a bit cliche and too radio friendly while Tom Morrello's contribution was a bit underwhelming, it is still a very enjoyable album and has gotten me excited about Linkin Park again.

Jun 18, 2014This album is Linkin Park's heaviest. While most of the songs are good, none of them stand out. Despite that, the songs have powerful lyrics and vocals.

Jun 18, 2014Linkin park always try to make the best music and this album symbolizes their hard word and effort. The hunting party totally deserves 10/10. This guitar-driven album will be one of the best rock album of 2014. Chester's voice sounds like his very first days of Hybrid theory

Jun 24, 2014Unfinished and lo-fi, Linkin Park ditch long time collaborator to produce a jarring and unfocused record with few standout tracks. Guests like Tom Morello are wasted on pointless interludes as the tracks blend into a long, noisy jam session. A surprisingly lazy effort from musicians brimming with creativity and a willingness to innovate.
-

Jun 18, 2014This is the album that Linkin Park make inspired in the bands who inspired form Linkin Park, its the Prequel of Hybrid Theory, If you play one song in a rock radio of an current rock band and then you play a song from this album the people will say "Wow!! This is real rock!!" is worse say that the current indie-pop is radio rock
-
Jun 20, 2014The album is mixed with energy and a attempt to give rock lovers a record that gives you a force whenever you play it.
LP changed their direction, evolved and delivered a record that kicks the **** out of EDM turned alternative and rock band in this modern era.
That's why they are the best and will be always. They love their fans and make records what they love. -

Jun 20, 2014This album sounds like a bad Rise Against album. This album is filled with ripped melodys and **** lyrics. Listen to their song "War" and the melody is nearly Identical to "True North" by Bad Religion, a band who toured with them earlier this year when the album was being produced. It's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Sep 24, 2015Definitely not a return to their nu-metal roots, but a return to something even better. Simple hard rock that just destroys. Here we see Linkin Park in their natural habitat; but mind you - their experimentation in A Thousand Suns and Living Things are just as natural.
-
Jan 25, 2016A little disappointed I felt the album could have been much better like Living Things but it wasn't that it was a ok album but I wouldn't choose to listen to it over Living Things or Hybrid Theory.
-
Nov 19, 2014Often heavy handed but powerful nonetheless, Linkin Park's The Hunting Party oozes with energy and strong riffs despite some songs being inconsistent in quality.
-
Dec 3, 2014Although it's great to see Linkin Park return to the heavier rock but I honestly enjoyed Living Things more, none of the songs really stick out other than Until it's Gone. But Final Masquerade shows us why Linkin Park was one of the greatest bands of the 2000s. For those reasons I'm giving this album a positive review.
-
Dec 15, 2016This album is a major improvement over Linkin Park previous album, Living Things, which although i like it, it feels lousy sometimes. However, this album, is better than Meteora although Hybrid Theory is still better in my opinion. This album fix some Linkin Park song problems, add more catchy feel to their song, and more tension.

Apr 19, 2016While some of the vocals SOUND a bit weak in some areas, overall the album is an explosion of force with heavy riffs, fast beats, and a frenetic energy that is guaranteed to rock the boat.
-
May 19, 2016the sound is raw. it's slightly reminiscent of the old sound of linkin park with a twist of a sort of rage. I LOVE IT. Mike's raps are on point. Chester brings his amazing voice as usual and the entire album in my eyes was a success. one of the only bands from the early 2000s able to hold themselves in the NU-metal genre.

May 20, 2017What a fantastic album, Linkin Park simply made one of the greatest "alternative metal" album of the last five years, a great comeback from their worst album ever, Living Things.
Songs like Keys To The Kingdom, All For Nothing, War, Rebellion and A Line In The Sand made people understand the huge potential of this band, nice one guys! -
May 26, 2017Awesome, and at the same time, a very underrated album. Maybe it was released in the wrong time, but we have some of the best Linkin Park songs, featuring all the styles the band are used to create. "A Line in the Sand" is a truly masterpiece
-
Mar 10, 2018Linkin Park's best album. Has so many fantastic tracks including All for Nothing, A Line in the Sand, Rebellion, War, Until It's Gone and pretty much the rest of the album. Do not skip this release, it is definitely worth checking out and giving a fair chance.
-
Jun 4, 2018.Mr. Chester proves he can even scream. This album will go quite well, but it seems to have slower start
-
Sep 16, 2018Omg this album is amazing. What better way to start the album than keys to the kingdom. This album packs a punch with its raw guitars, vocals, drums and lyrics. The best LP album In my opinion.
Favourite tracks: Keys to the kingdom, all for nothing, guilty all the same, Until it's gone, drawbar, a line in the sand
Least: The summoning -
Sep 13, 2019Such a great album and an incredible comeback. Way better than Living Things (2012)

Classic Rock MagazineDec 18, 2014Straining a little too hard for intellectual depth and emotional intensity, The Hunting Party is ultimately let down by its lack of focus and poor quality control. [Summer 2014, p.93]
-
Q MagazineJul 2, 2014Excitingly, War's chaotic punk and the frantic Guilty All The Same are as raw as they've ever been, but The Hunting Party is the sound of Linkin Park coming in from the cold. [Aug 2014, p.109]
-
Jul 2, 2014All in all, The Hunting Party is a solid record on its own, but it feels too repetitive, uninspired, and generic to equal its immediate predecessors.
