Linkin Park 'Comfortable In Own Skin' After Recording New Album 'Living Things'

Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda has revealed that the recording of the band's latest album 'Living Things' has been a therapeutic process for the band – and that they finally feel 'comfortable in their own skin'.

The band are really looking forward to releasing their latest album effort, and have been revealing little details about the album for weeks – they revealed just yesterday that the new record would see them going 'back to their roots'. Now, Shinoda has opened up even further, and revealed that for the first time in a 'long while', they're comfortable being themselves.

“For the first time in a long time, we're comfortable in our own skin,” Shinoda told NME. “Definitely more so than in recent years. People would definitely be surprised by the sense of humour that the band has about itself and the stuff that we've done in the past that we look back at now and we can't believe we did.

“It's like going back and looking at old pictures of yourself and you can't believe what you're wearing. We wouldn't change it, we just wouldn't do now though. We've learned so much from all the albums we've done, so we've taken everything we've learned and mixed it all into one.”

He continued on to talk about the style of the new record, saying: “The record is a pretty uptempo record. That doesn't meant there's lots of heavy metal guitars, it's about the sound we're using and the energy in the songs. The record has a lot of energy and is going to be really fun to play live. All the tracks are 3 to 4 minutes long, very compact and they'll fit in with the rest of our set very well.”

Linkin Park will be touring the US and Europe this year.Click here to Compare & Buy Linkin Park Tickets at Stereoboard.
