Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album has a Bayesian average rating of 62.2/100, a mean average of 61.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 61.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 22.3.

Completely agree with what user Edwarda85 said. After their best album they released this which felt safe and a bit bland. Still I can't say it's bad since it has a couple of nice songs.
After my personal favorite A Thousand Suns commercially flopped and left fans of their early work dumbfounded, Linkin Park was on the verge of extinction by lack of interest.
In Comes Living Things, a safe return to standard punchy riff rock with some mature screaming from Chester.
It's passable for the genre and at times feels like it is trying to serve two masters. The single Burn It Down doesn't sound like anything else on here. Makes you think it was a blatant attempt at a single on mainstream rock radio. It almost passes for hard pop.
The first track and Castle of Glass are highlights, if a bit repetitive.
It's good at what it does but Linkin Park trades in identity for survival; to stay a living thing as a band. And that is disappointing to me.
There last couple of albums have not been popular at all, but I personally felt they were good. This, however, is their first underwhelming record for me, not a particularly memorable effort, it's not 'bad', it's just about passable

I really do find it intolerable. The first tracks decent but after that it's just cringe worthy.
Linkin Park at their worst...

Eh, it's alright. Definitely better than their last two albums.

It's alright.
Surprisingly decent, by far their best album.
They're on an adventure. The young scrappy kid is now traversing mountains, battling trolls, stoping at taverns and generally moving from A to B if you want it painfully simple. This was all starting from 'A Thousand Suns' where the group sounded like they had ambitions of recording THE NEXT DARKSIDE OF THE MOON, I AM BEING SERIOUS! Well the tap is stuck, lofty ambitions are there but not reached with out stretched arms. 'Lost in the Echo' the fire in the heart stills burns before going out to the mind with an envelope and a punch in the 'Burn It Down'. 'In My Remains' keeps enough thunder to sustain my interest even though it is wedged in between the two. The thing is, listening to this I am nodding along, hearing the occasional good sound, the whole time not running into something horrible all the day... yet... that's really it. It's a quest without finale
and all a bit too serious now. While a song like 'Castle of Glass' sustains my interest throughout, there is this feeling of some utmost importance. I want my rock exciting. I want fun. Here Linkin Park completely miss their medium, the words don't belong and the air is thick... it's all calculated. If you want a Linkin Park aiming to write something to put beside 'Ramayana' or 'Aeneid' this is and the album before will do just fine.
