The fifth in our year-long project to cover every Linkin Park album.

Whereas “A Thousand Suns” was a heavily conceptual album, “Living Things” was a return to a more traditional Linkin Park sound, with excellent percussion, and strong aspects of nu-metal, industrial, synth, rap, and even some blues motifs, while still maintaining the strong lyrics and vocals unique to Linkin Park.

Today's root beer is Rocket Fizz “Root Beer Float” flavored root beer.

This week, we're not dead, we're pining for Python! This episode emphasizes that if you only know “Holy Grail”, you are really missing out on the full history, spectrum, and scope of everything those Monty Python boys (and girls! Let's not forget Carol Cleveland and the lovely Aimi MacDonald!) gave us as outrageous comedy from before Flying Circus and since.
