10 Best Linkin Park Songs

10. A Line In The Sand - The Hunting Party (2014)

The Hunting Party does not receive enough credit. Possibly due to its more rugged production and daring song structures, Linkin Park’s sixth studio album was their least successful in terms of chart performance. Despite this, however, the album is full of powerful songs.

'A Line In The Sand' (the final track on the record) is a six-and-a-half-minute wall of sound that packs plenty of punch. Though Rob Bourdon’s drumming and Brad Delson’s guitar work are both standouts on the whole album, this final track really exemplifies their talents more than any other.

The range of vocal styles on this track is also noteworthy. In addition to Mike Shinoda’s rapping and Chester Bennington’s aggressive vocal lines, the opening and the closing of the track features some very soothing and atmospheric vocals from Shinoda.

As such, 'A Line In The Sand' is a great exemplification of the band’s diversity in sound and their musical capabilities. Sure, it’s not the most accessible song they’ve ever made, but it’s an essential listen for dedicated fans.
