Sobre el álbum
Con su sexto álbum, The Hunting Party, de 2014, la banda de California realiza su trabajo más pesado, crudo y guitarrero en más de una década. Este disco es una reacción directa a la suavidad del pop y el rock alternativo que dominaba las radios, un regreso a un sonido de hard rock y metal sin concesiones.
El sonido del álbum es deliberadamente agresivo. La producción es potente y se centra en la fuerza de las guitarras y la batería, con una energía que recuerda al punk y al thrash metal. Linkin Park se autoprodujo el disco para asegurarse de mantener esta crudeza.
El álbum cuenta con colaboraciones de leyendas del rock y el hip-hop, como Tom Morello de Rage Against the Machine o el rapero Rakim. Es el sonido de una banda que reivindica la importancia del rock en un mundo dominado por el pop.
"The Hunting Party" es una descarga de adrenalina. Es un álbum que, si bien no fue un gran éxito comercial, fue aclamado por sus fans más roqueros y por la crítica por su valentía y su contundencia. Es la prueba de que el corazón de rock de Linkin Park seguía latiendo con fuerza.

- Keys To The Kingdom3:38
Letra
No control! No surprise! Throw the keys to the kingdom down there Down the hole in my eye I'm my own casualty I fuck up everything I see Fighting in futility Its our final war Tell me what's worth fighting for When we know there's nothing more Take the hand or fist Just to sell ourselves for this The path we least resist No control! No surprise! Throw the keys to the kingdom down there Down the hole in my eye I'm my own casualty I fuck up everything I see Fighting in futility Uh, I give you what you came for This is not the same though Got a different method But I still can bring the pace so Not all give the same though I got down the same flow I ain't shock and get you Never really in my range, though Somehow they ain't grow High five, Bango All pride childs Mama let the bass bang though All you fucking lames go Yelling out the names though Careful what you shoot 'Cause you might hit what you came for (Careful what you shoot 'Cause you might hit what you came for) No control! No surprise! Throw the keys to the kingdom down there Down the hole in my eye I'm my own casualty I fuck up everything I see Fighting in futility No control! No surprise! Throw the keys to the kingdom down there Down the hole in my eye I'm my own casualty I fuck up everything I see Fighting in futility I'm my own casualty - All For Nothing3:33

Letra
One, two, one, two, thank you! There's no peace Only war Victory decides who's wrong or right It will not cease Only grow You better be prepared to fight! And it will not apologize For laying down your life War! There's no pain It will spare Fear has become your only right And once you're lost In your despair Forever black, eternal light And it will not apologize For laying down your life War Destroy you War Destroy you It needs no side to justify Laying down your life War Destroyer War - Wastelands3:15
Letra
This is war with no weapons Marchin with no steppin' Murder with no killin' Illin' every direction First, no sequel, do the math No equal John with no Yoko More power, less people And, no, I'm not afraid of that Print it in your paperback Every rap made in fact to act as a delayed attack Every phrase a razorblade That's saved till they play it back To slay'em and leave'em on the pavement Bang Fade to black In the wastelands of today Where there's nothing left to lose And and there's nothing more to take But you force yourself to choose In the wastelands of today Where tomorrow disappears While the future slips away And your hope turns into fear In the wastelands of today Roll credits, you get it The show's done They're talking for just talkin' But meaning they got none None of you come proper They talk like a shotgun But how many of you got bred with integrity Not one So, no I'm not afraid to see you suckas hold a blade to me Ain't no way to shake the ground I built before you came to be Take it how you take it I'm the opposite of vacancy And this is not negotiation Y'all can hate and wait and see In the wastelands of today Where there's nothing left to lose And and there's nothing more to take But you force yourself to choose In the wastelands of today Where tomorrow disappears While the future slips away And your hope turns into fear And your hope turns into fear In the wastelands of today In the wastelands of today Where there's nothing left to lose And and there's nothing more to take But you force yourself to choose In the wastelands of today Where tomorrow disappears While the future slips away And your hope turns into fear And your hope turns into fear In the wastelands of today In the wastelands of today In the wastelands of today - Until It´s Gone3:53

Letra
There’s a fragile game we play With the ghosts of yesterday If we can’t let go we’ll never say goodbye No trace of what remains No stones to mark the graves Only memories we thought we could deny There was so much more to lose Than the pain I put you through In my carelessness I left you in the dark And the blood may wash away But the scars will never fade At least I know somehow I made a mark In the dark In the light Nothing left Nothing right - Drawbar2:46
- Final Masquerade3:37
Letra
Tearing me apart with words you wouldn't say And, suddenly, tomorrow's moment washed away Cuz I don't have a reason And you don't have the time But we both keep on waiting For something we won't find The light on the horizon Was brighter yesterday With shadows floating over The scars begin to fade We said it was forever But then it slipped away Standing at the end Of the final masquerade The final masquerade All I ever wanted The secrets that you keep All you ever wanted The truth I couldn't speak Cuz I can't see forgiveness And you can't see the crime And we both keep on waiting for What we left behind The light on the horizon Was brighter yesterday With shadows floating over The scars begin to fade We said it was forever But then it slipped away Standing at the end Of the final masquerade The final masquerade The final masquerade Standing at the end Of the final masquerade The light on the horizon Was brighter yesterday With shadows floating over The scars begin to fade We said it was forever But then it slipped away Standing at the end Of the final masquerade Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Standing at the end Of the final masquerade Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Standing at the end Of the final masquerade The final masquerade Oh, oh, oh - A Line In The Sand6:35
Letra
Today, we stood on the wall We laughed at the sun, we laughed at the guns We laughed at it all And when they, they told us to go We paid them no mind, like any other time But little did we know Today, I look for a sign With flames in my hands A line in the sand Between yours and mine And it came, like fire from below Your greed led the call My flag had to fall But little did you know Another day, your truth will come You're gonna pay for what you Pay for what you've done You'll get what's yours And face your fraud You're gonna give me back what's mine Give me back what's mine! I ain't never been a coward I aint never seen blood You had sold me an ocean And I was lost in the flood We were counting on a leader We were driven by need Couldn't take temptation And we were blinded by greed You were steady as a sniper We were waiting on a wire So we never saw it coming When you ran from the fire You can try intimidation Or you can try to roar But when the time comes calling Yeah! You are gonna get yours! Another day your truth will come You're gonna pay for what you Pay for what you've done You'll get what's yours And face your fraud You're gonna give me back what's mine Give me back what's mine! And so today your truth has come You're gonna pay for what you Pay for what you've done You'll get what's yours You're out of time And you will give me back what's mine Give me, back what's mine! Give me, give me back what's mine! Give me, give me back what's mine! What's mine, give me, give me back what's mine! What's mine! What's mine! Give me back what's mine! Today, we stood on the wall We laughed at the sun, we laughed at the guns We laughed at it all And when they, they told us to go We paid them no mind, like any other time But little did we know
