Linkin Park the American Rock band from California announced on 16th April the launch date of their new album Living Things. They also released the lead single of the album titled "Burn It Down".
Many fans were pretty disappointed with the previous Lp album A Thousand Suns. Personally I wasn't very impressed with Lp using elements of Techno and Electronic music in their songs. The new song starts with a heavy electronic beat which brings the feeling electro musicians like Daft Punk. Surprisingly as the song progresses those beats blend well with Chester Bennington's vocals. The chorus is the most impressive part where guitar riffs come in. Bennington uses softer vocals in the song except the chorus where he gets back to his usual business. Mike Shinoda spits out a little verse in the bridge which is probably the most disappointing part of the song. It kind of spoils the flow of the song. I think the rap was not needed tp be included. The song ends with the same electronic beat which is there in the intro.The lyrics are not very different from what Lp normally uses.
The fans might still be missing the Nu Metal songs which got Linkin Park into the industry. This new faced Linkin Park atleast for now seems dedicated to impress the Pop and Techno fans. Even though it isn't the old Lp that we used to love, the song isn't that bad.
Rating : 3.5/5
