The Hunting Party Tracklist
The Hunting Party is the aggressive sixth studio album by American rock band Linkin Park. The album is the product of Mike Shinoda’s dissatisfaction with early electropop-centric demos he had originally made for the band’s sixth album. Departing from the experimental sounds of A Thousand Suns and Living Things, The Hunting Party returns to Linkin Park’s heavier, rock-centric sound of the early 2000s.

Where does the title come from?
Mike told Complex:
The album title came from a piece I read about online. A Japanese writer proposed that Japanese culture might be in trouble because the young men were, as she put it, “sheep boys” or “herbivores.” They sat and grazed, waiting for opportunity to come to them. They didn’t go out and hunt for a girl, a job, whatever. We have been feeling the same about music; it’s turned soft and safe. In making The Hunting Party, we were striking out to make something visceral and aggressive.
