Linkin Park, the inventive American rap-rock band who wove electronica into its heavy, melodic compositions, return with their first new album in seven years, "From Zero."

It’s fair to say that September’s unveiling of Emily Armstrong as the new singer of Californian nu-metal band Linkin Park was met with a mixed reaction by fans. Opinions on social media ranged from “absolutely disgusting decision” to “f–king phenomenal”.

Talk about a welcome commercial reception. Linkin Park's Living Things debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 when it emerged in June 2012. Twelve years after the success of Hybrid Theory, Linkin Park showed the world they were still the hottest rock band around.
