The band returned to producer Rick Rubin to help them direct Living Things - Rubin had worked with them on their previous two efforts, Minutes To Midnight and A Thousand Suns.
The band entered the studio entered the studio in early 2012, and recorded at NRG Studios in Los Angeles, California. When we would tour for two years even the most resilient person in the band, at the end of that, was fucking miserable."
It will probably get a very polarized reaction." He told Rolling Stone in an interview that, "'Touring for two years is excruciating. The music is great and we're well ahead of where we're expecting to be. In June 2011, Chester claimed in an interview with Kerrang!, "We've been working on a new record for the past two months. Writing for Living Things dates back to March 2011. Despite trying to get the case dismissed on the grounds that he did the investigation in anticipation of legal action, Hutchinson's claim was dismissed and the lawsuit went forward. After this information was discovered, Linkin Park fired Hayes, leading to him suing Hutchinson for allegedly intentionally creating ill will between Hayes and Linkin Park, and he claimed that Hutchinson lied to Linkin Park to harm Hayes's reputation. However, after Hutchinson investigated the royalties, it was found that the band was actually receiving less royalties from digital sales than before. Hayes, in 2006, helped renegotiate Linkin Park's contract with Warner, promising the band more royalties in the new contract, which ultimately led to the conflict between the two entities ending. Several months after the album came out, Danny Hayes, who had been working with Linkin Park since they were called Xero and brought Chester Bennington to the band's attention, sued Paul Hutchinson, who had been hired in 2009 to audit the band's royalties. On the last few records we've had an interest in global issues and social issues and those things are still around, there are certainly traces of them, but this record is far more personal." He continued to say that the album goes through a variety of moods, all connected through a very human and relatable perspective. Mike spoke to NME about it: "We chose the album title 'Living Things' because it's more of a record about people. The name of the album is taken from the ideas expressed within the songs. As Mike explained, "We finally felt comfortable with the sound we had." On his blog, he wrote, "For me, it’s all about getting back to the real 'hybrid theory' - not the album with that name, but the idea that the six guys in our band have drastically different tastes in music, and the blending of all those sounds into one is exactly what we built our band upon." Remixes for tracks from Living Things were released on Linkin Park's second remix album, Recharged. While the album focused heavily on electronics, the band combined elements of all of their previous albums to craft the sound of this album. Living Things is Linkin Park's fifth studio album.
