  The Hunting Party is the sixth studio album by American rock band Linkin Park. The album, self-produced by band members Mike Shinoda and Brad Delson, was released by Warner Bros. Records on June 13, 2014. It is the first album since Meteora not to be produced with Rick Rubin, after producing the band's previous three studio albums. The title, The Hunting Party, is a contextual metaphor: Linkin Park is the party that is hunting to bring back the energy and soul of rock. The Hunting Party is a departure from the band's recent electronic rock sound of their previous two studio albums. The album, described by Mike Shinoda as simply "a rock record", serves a statement by the band against contemporary mainstream and active rock bands, accused by Shinoda as "trying to be other bands and playing it safe". Packaged by an artwork by Brandon Parvini based off an original drawing by James Jean, the album took under a year to record and produce, with material being improvisationally written in the studio by the band. The album also features guest appearances from Page Hamilton of Helmet, Rakim, Daron Malakian of System of a Down, and Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine. The album was promoted by the band and Warner Bros, with multiple promotional teasers and interviews produced and published in the lead-up to the album's release and listening parties of the album being held worldwide on multiple dates. The band are also set to embark on the Carnivores Tour, a double-headline tour with Thirty Seconds to Mars, in support of the album. So far, five tracks from the album have been released as singles in promotion of The Hunting Party; "Guilty All the Same" in March 2014, "Until It's Gone" in May 2014 and a triple-release of "Wastelands", "Rebellion" and "Final Masquerade" in June 2014.

  Linkin Park; popular nu-metal, rock band in the 90's have release this new album that pretty much sums up all of their musical styling! They have turned back to their roots with the hard rock metal and Chester's legendary scream-o voice to pump back new blood into their album! With even a few awesome featured artist on their tracks! This is by far the best album they have produced and I'm speaking as a die-hard Linkin Park fan from Hybrid Theory all the way to Living Things! If you were a fan of Hybrid Theory then you will LOVE their new album! Cheers

  A little different from what they normally play, but if you listened to their past recent albums it wouldn't have come to a surprise for them to come out with an album like this. Some songs have their roots from Meteora/Hybrid Thoery and some from their most recent albums (Living Things/A Thousand Suns). So if you're into a little mix of both, then buy the album! Trust me, you'll get use to it!
