Living Things, as the band says, is a mix of everything they've done so far and shows elements from all the previous albums. So, I was just thinking: What songs carried that HT, Meteora vibes, or if any of these songs could be part of A Thousand Suns, for example. The game is simple: List all Living Things songs and choose which album(s) they remind you more! Here is my list Lost in the Echo - Hybrid Theory In My Remains - Meteora Burn It Down - A Thousand Suns Lies Greed Misery - Meteora I'll Be Gone - Minutes to Midnight Castle of Glass - A Thousand Suns Victimized - Hybrid Theory Roads Untraveled - Minutes To Midnight Skin to Bone - A Thousand Suns Until It Breaks - A Thousand Suns Tinfoil/Powerless - Meteora
Lost in the Echo - Hybrid Theory In My Remains - MTM Burn It Down - ATS Lies Greed Misery - ATS I'll Be Gone - Meteora Castle of Glass - A Thousand Suns Victimized - Hybrid Theory Roads Untraveled - MTM Skin to Bone - ATS Until It Breaks - ATS Tinfoil/Powerless - MTM
LITE - HT IMR - MTM BID - M LGM - M IBG - MTM COG - ATS V - M RU - MTM STB - ATS UIB - ATS T/P - ATS I don't see how Powerless could remind anyone of Meteora...

Cool thread topic. As soon as I finished typing mine up, I realized it was the exact same thing as Gibleson's list.
LOST IN THE ECHO - Hybrid Theory IN MY REMAINS - Minutes to Midnight BURN IT DOWN - Minutes to Midnight LIES GREED MISERY - Meteora I'LL BE GONE - Minutes to Midnight CASTLE OF GLASS - A Thousand Suns VICTIMIZED - Hybrid Theory ROADS UNTRAVELED - Meteora SKIN TO BONE - A Thousand Suns UNTIL IT BREAKS - A Thousand Suns TINFOIL/POWERLESS - A Thousand Suns
Lost in the Echo - Hybrid Theory In My Remains - Minutes to Midnight Burn it Down - Meteora Lies Greed Misery - Hybrid Theory I'll Be Gone - Meteora Castle of Glass - A Thousand Suns Victimized - A Thousand Suns Roads Untraveled - Minutes to Midnight Skin to Bone - A Thousand Suns Until it Breaks - A Thousand Suns Tinfoil - Meteora (mostly because it reminds me of Session) Powerless - Minutes to Midnight
Lost in the Echo - Meteora (Waaaay too much techno to be HT) In My Remains - Meteora (it's like a superior Easier to Run) Burn it Down - probably ATS. Just just barely. Lies Greed Misery - Meteora again... I'll Be Gone - Hybrid Theory or Meteora Castle of Glass - A Thousand Suns Victimized - A Thousand Suns Roads Untraveled - Minutes to Midnight Skin to Bone - A Thousand Suns Until it Breaks - A Thousand Suns Tinfoil - Meteora Powerless - HT or Meteora. The Minutes era seems to be LPs bastard years, I couldn't think of anything that would have fit comfortably on there. Burn it Down was the best possible one but even that seems way more ATS-ish by comparison. Ended up going with Roads Untraveled because, like a lot of MTM, it sounds like an idea they never finished 100% but released anyway (cough cough In Between cough).
Eeeh, they sound like evolved versions of Cure/Pushing Me Away and Session/Numb. They could fit on ATS without a problem, sure, but they could just have easily fit on the tail end of Meteora and not sound the least bit out of place.
We've done this before, but hey, I'm bored: LITE - Meteora IMR - MTM BID - ATS LGM - Meteora IBG - MTM CoG - ATS Victimized - HT RU - MTM STB - ATS UIB - ATS Tinfoil/Powerless - MTM
Lost in the Echo - HT In My Remains - HT / MTM Burn It Down - Meteora / EP with New Divide Lies Greed Misery - Meteora I'll Be Gone - Out of Ashes / MTM Castle of Glass - MTM / ATS Victimized - MTM Roads Untraveled - MTM Skin to Bone - ATS Until It Breaks - The Rising Tied / ATS Tinfoil/Powerless - ATS
LITE - Meteora In My Remains - MTM BID - Meteora LGM - Meteora IBG - MTM COG - ATS Victimized - ATS UIB - MTM STB - ATS UIB - ATS Tinfoil/Powerless - ATS I don't see anything really close to HT in that record. The songs which are the closest to the older sound are way too polished, hence why I'd put them more on the Meteora-side.
IMO, some songs from Living Things can't fit in only one album, but I'll try do this: Lost in the Echo - Hybrid Theory In My Remains - Minutes to Midnight Burn It Down - Meteora Lies Greed Misery - Meteora I'll Be Gone - Minutes to Midnight / Out of Ashes Castle of Glass - A Thousand Suns Victimized - Minutes to Midnight, B-side ?? Roads Untraveled - Minutes to Midnight Skin to Bone - A Thousand Suns Until It Breaks - Hybrid Theory... EP Tinfoil - Meteora Powerless - Minutes to Midnight
Lost In The Echo - Meteora In My Remains - Minutes To Midnight Burn It Down - A Thousand Suns Lies Greed Misery - Meteora I'll Be Gone - Minutes to Midnight Castle of Glass - A Thousand Suns Victimized - Meteora Roads Untraveled - A Thousand Suns Skin To Bone - A Thousand Suns Until It Breaks - A Thousand Suns Tinfoil - A Thousand Suns Powerless - A Thousand Suns
In My Remains, I'll Be Gone, and Roads Untraveled sound like Minutes to Midnight songs. The rest sound like A Thousand Suns songs with Hybrid Theory/Meteora-esque structures. I don't hear a single note of actual music on Living Things that sounds remotely reminiscent of Hybrid Theory or Meteora, just lyrics and song structures. *shrug*
Lost In The Echo - Hybrid Theory In My Remains - Minutes To Midnight Burn It Down - Meteora Lies Greed Misery - Hybrid Theory I'll Be Gone - Minutes To Midnight Castle Of Glass - A Thousand Suns Victimized - Minutes To Midnight Roads Untravelled - A Thousand Suns Skin To Bone - A Thousand Suns Until It Breaks - A Thousand Suns Tinfoil - Meteora Powerless - Meteora The last two songs really sound like the band doing an impression of themselves from 2002, it's pretty cool. There's a little synth sound which goes for about a second in Powerless which screams Meteora influence combined with the other sounds, it's like a little easter egg, I jizzed when I heard it first time, it hits at 1:14 and is panned a little to the right http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gv4zGQ5feaY
