Linkin Park - The Hunting Party (2014) [Hi-Res]

„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 be released by Warner Bros. Records. 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 members of 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. These are the band's first featured musicians on a studio album.
