Welcome aboard to a VERY LONG and TOO OVERDUE music review on the following album!

Seeing the image over here, you could say that you have never seen that before inside of Linkin Park's vast discography (at least before Mike Shinoda announced it, of course). Please say hello to a brand-new crack from these Californian rockstars; their fifth studio album cleverly called Living Things. And I must say that they are back... kind of!

I have mentioned about Timbaland's Shock Value II album once on my old blog, but that criticism was just from what I saw on the top layer. Of course, you can never deny the awesomeness of this rapping / singing / producing master, judging from the peeps he bonded together for both of his Shock Value albums and the diverse sounds the albums have produced.

This piece is actually coming from the hands of one of the genius musicians out there. Below is one of the tracks coming from the 'sequel' of sorts to the first Shock Value album.
