True to his word, first single “Burn It Down” is coated in a layer of icy Depeche Mode synths and features one of Bennington’s patented full-bore refrains; it also boasts a rap by Mike Shinoda, a Linkin Park staple that’s increasingly more scarce than it used to be. Living Things looks to continue the “One Step Closer” hitmakers’ journey into music for […]
