Linkin Park: Every Album Ranked From Worst To Best

4. Living Things (2012)

Linkin Park Living Things
Warner Bros.

Best Tracks: Lost in the Echo, Burn It Down, I'll Be Gone

Worst Track: Victimized (but it's still not bad)

Probably the most successful of Linkin Park's outwardly experimental albums, Living Things sees the band move towards a more industrial, electronic sound, and for the most part, it's an intense, rip-roaring record.

Kicking off with one of their all-time best songs (Lost in the Echo), it's a bold statement from the band even if it loses some of its energy in a more familiar second half. Still, it's a crisp evolution of their musical style with excellent production and some of Chester and Mike's best vocals to date.

Were it a little more consistent later on, it would definitely rank a place or two higher, but at least there's not a single dud on it.
