    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 :p

    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

    Cool thread topic. As soon as I finished typing mine up, I realized it was the exact same thing as Gibleson's list.

    Well, I don't know why but Powerless sounds like the perfect link between Meteora and ATS for me. :)

    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).

    Tinfoil and Powerless were made in the ATS period. They belong there in sound too.

    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.

    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 :p
    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 :kappa:
    Tinfoil - Meteora
    Powerless - Minutes to Midnight

    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*

    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
