Linkin Park are streaming their new album 'Living Things' online via iTunes. Visit iTunes.com to hear the record.

The album isn't formally released until next Monday (June 25), but can be heard in full now. The album is the fifth full-length effort of the band's career and the follow-up to 2010's 'A Thousand Suns'. It was produced by Rick Rubin.
Speaking to NME about 'Living Things', co-frontman Mike Shinoda denied reports that the band were set to return to the nu-metal sound of their early records, but did say they were more in touch with their roots.

Asked if the record was more guitar-heavy than their recent albums, Shinoda replied: "That's actually been misinterpreted. What we've actually said is that the record gets back to our roots and it's captured a feeling that we haven't gone after in many years. I think that's gone misconstrued as a return to heavy guitars. There are guitars on the record of course though."

Then asked if this meant the album continued in the vein of their more experimental fourth album 'A Thousand Suns', Shinoda said: "I'll say it like this, with 'Minutes To Midnight' and even more so with 'A Thousand Suns', we were making an effort to get away from the sound of the first two records. The reason for that was that we felt if we made a third record that sounded that way, we'd be pigeonholed into doing that forever. Everybody just gravitated towards the stuff that sounded different and, as we got into 'A Thousand Suns', it got even more different."
