Because of Mike's Release Day Challenge, there are still people out there who haven't listened to the album yet and also don't want to read spoilers, so you can only see the review after the jump! ...
“The Official Review”: LPU LIVING THINGS Pre-Listening Party 6/15/12
I had the great privilege of attending the LPU LIVING THINGS pre-listening event on June 15th, 2012 in LA with a few other friends and LPU members. Luckily I was able to write down a few notes about my initial reactions to each of the songs. Without giving too much away, here’s my brief review track-by-track.
LOST IN THE ECHO: I’ll admit, I cheated and listened to the 30 second preview the night before. But this might just be my favorite song of all time. It’s perfect. It’s loud, it has rapping, screaming, and is everything a classic Linkin Park song should be. If this hits the radio, the sky is the limit! My prediction; next single.
IN MY REMAINS: I love the intro to this song. The build-up to the bridge is awesome, and the same can be said for the dual harmonies with Mike and Chester’s vocals. Lyrically, it’s one of my favorites from the album. This is one I’d like to see performed on a big stage.

...Linkin Park Association! Yes, I know there are other great sites, and I love them all, but I've decided to support the LPA for the following reasons:
- their forum is great! I don't think that there's a forum on any other LP site that has so many members, so no matter what Linkin Park news surface, you always have someone to talk about it there. Also, they've been very helpful in solving those funny little puzzles LP threw our way.
- through the years, they've managed to obtain some great exclusives for us!
- they always manage to engage the fans with some funny stuff e.g. the monthly remix contest
- fast news & tour updates. I especially love the live setlist tweeting during LP shows
- Try the Ketchup, Motherfucker!
So after all the schmoozing, here's what you have to do! Preorder Linkin Park's upcoming album "LIVING THINGS" via this link:
