Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington gave some insight on the bands upcoming fifth studio album in a interview with Kerrang!
"With this album, we've incorporated a lot of guitar work with big choruses and the heavier electronic stuff to give it that really big wall of sound feeling without getting too metal" Said Bennington. "This will be more familiar to people than 'A Thousand Suns' was, where we were like'...We're just going to go bonkers."
When asked about the bands 'nu-metal' status "over the previous two records, we were trying hard to break out of the nu-metal box that we'd found ourselves in. It's very easy to characterize us as that based on 'Hybrid Theory' and 'Meteora', but we knew there was more to us than that. With the exception of the metal guitar tone we had on the first two records - which, I think is the reason that a lot of people really like the band - I feel like we've found a place where we've become in our skin."
When asked about the lyrics for the new album "We've been writing a lot about releationships. We're not a political band, we're a socially minded band. We try to look at things that we find in the world that we'd like to see more of or that we'd like to see less of." said Bennington.
