Linkin Park - Guilty All The SameLinkin Park – Guilty All The Same

Linkin Park have an extremely busy summer ahead of them as they are set to play 6 European festivals throughout June including a performance at the legendary Download festival at Donington Park and then they are off on tour across America with 30 Seconds To Mars which is going to be a blockbuster of a tour and their forthcoming sixth studio album is also due to drop some time this year and to give their fans a little feel of what can be expected of that album Linkin Park have just revealed their new single ‘Guilty All The Same’.

‘Guilty All The Same’ is a 6 minute running masterpiece which see’s Linkin Park back at their nu-metal best, the 1minute 30seconds instrumental introduction is truly epic and see’s the band go on a massive jamming session with some of the best riffs that the band have had to offer in years, the vocals from Chester Bennington come in at the 1minute 35seconds mark and straight away he is on top form with mellow singing which quickly builds up to more in your face vocals as the song builds up to the chorus with Bennington singing out “Your guilty all the same, Too sick to be ashamed, you want to point your finger, but there’s no one else to blame” and towards the middle of the song guest rapper Rakim make’s a appearance for a long running solid sounding rap before Bennington comes back in screaming out “Your guilty all the same” whilst Brad Delson and Mike Shinoda really go for it with their guitar riffs right up until the song comes to an end.

When it comes to releasing new material Linkin Park never stick to the same formula and always like to mix things up and this time they have come up with one of the most solid songs they have wrote in many years, it is instantly accessible and as close sounding as you are going to get to the ‘Hybrid Theory’ day’s whilst also sounding so far off from it at the same time.

5/5
