I love the album, and I can’t really see why people don’t
I am not a patterned to be followed, But one to be evolved into something new. You can hear it in the way that they took the previous elements and with the powers of alchemy made platinum out of gold a mix of the old and Nu and came out with a hellfire album! LIVING THINGS gave life to my imagination taking me on that Audible oddesy I was never lost during the trip! I feel it’ll surpass Hybrid Theories record! They are always on top to me but just hoping the world sees and hears what I hear!
My first reactions was surprising, in a very good way!
First with the “Lost in the echo” i automatically understood that It’ll be one of the top songs of LP and surely one of my favorites! I found the first 5 tracks stunning, castle of glass is just for me a good song, not bad! next is victimized, i must confess that first i didn’t like it very much but after hearing it many times i loved it, roads untraveled takes 3 out of 5, skin to bone is just an awesome song, Until it breaks is so vivid at the begging but Brad’s part is not what i wanted to follow and last but the best is powerless which is one of my favorite all time songs of Linkin Park! generally the albums takes 9 out of 10! 
I love all songs on this album (well, except Victimized). It’s my favourite album after Meteora! Can’t wait to listen it today with Mike and share my appreciation for the band’s great job!
My album just arrived, and I’m currently listening to it. I’m just on the fifth track, but I’m loving it. It has everything, to the sound they had on their early days, to a new beat. I like it.
Love the new album. Took the day off work just to enjoy it. LP is the greatest and I have to say ‘Living Things’ is a perfect title for this album.
So far I won’t put it above ATS but like all of their albums it deserves its own spot. FYI I love ATS, I put it on par with Hybrid Theory!
I’m listening to LT for the first time right now (currently “Skin to Bone”) and think that it’s going to be playing repeatedly,… well, until the 1’s and 0’s wear out.
I love the vibe of this band, and the music is the vibe. There’s variety under the basic umbrella (which is huge) for these guys. There’s no putting this music into a category, except enjoyable. Each song that plays is like opening a present on my birthday; some are better than others, but all so far, are worth hearing again and again.
Thanks for the music, fellas, keep up the great work. The world is loving this stuff.
I also got the album this morning and have not quite gotten through the whole album as I am writing this but I am very damn pleased. Like the last couple albums, I had no idea how to rap my head around what to expect. I loved MTM and ATS but I can definitely say that Living Things opened much stronger than ATS and has kept a better pace to the album. I still honestly feel that Brad’s guitar talents aren’t being used enough. But I LOVE that Mike is much more vocal on this album and the flow to the songs reminds me a lot of the younger days of LP, just with a new sense of creativity and musical evolution.
I got the digital download last night and downloaded it but am waiting for the actual CD like Mike wanted. 
This day is going to drag until the mail comes!! Listening to BID and LGM over and over…
I heard Powerless at the end of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter–spectacular!
Linkin Park has never disappointed!! Thanks guys!!
first forum post ever
At first I was a little skeptical of Living Things after hearing Lies Greed Misery when it was released a while ago, but now that I’ve heard the full album I love it so much!! It might even be my favorite album yet (although it seems impossible to have a fav LP album cuz all 5 are great) The songs are all so deep lyrically, and Castle of Glass has been stuck in my head for several hours now…
Totally Agree!
I have only heard BURN IT DOWN and LIES, GREED, MISERY. and I have not listened to either one of them for several weeks.
I am going to be listening to it for the first time at the Twitter listening party. I shall be live tweeting my reaction. @smarky
So excited. Love you guys so much. Music unites! Let’s enjoy this my little LP soliders!!
LP has struck again w/ Living Things. I actually like every song and there aren’t any songs that I say “meh” to.
ahmayzing, as usual
I just started listening to it &it started off great! Linkin Park never disappoints&always proves to be amazing.
i got mine on saturday i was sooo excited,i put it on straight away and i’ve listened to it over and over again ever since. i absolutely love it. i’ve enjoyed listening to all their albums but this one is awesome.it is quite a deep album and personally i think it is their best. it just blew me away.i love castle of glass the song is just in my head constantly,in my remains and lost in the echo are awesome. i love victimised with its quick and heavy beats.all in all an amazing album!
Starting with the story, i went to the only store open at midnight to get this cd only to find out they won’t have it in for a few days, super disappointed there. it only took 15 hours after that to get it from good old best buy.
first reactions? I love it, how could i not? i’ve been counting down days to release. it’s the only album i actually go out and buy with my hard earned cash. i love the sound. it’s totally different than every other album, as they always are.
it’s the best of all the worlds. the rap and the screaming from the originals plus the newer computerized sounds.
Oh my God!! It is so amazing! I bought the album and heard it over 10 and more times!!
I love it more that I can say like every LP album ;)!
I definitely enjoy the new album. They did a great job.
The album was so great I enjoyed every moment of it!
