Linkin Park, ‘‘Living Things’’ (Warner Bros. Records)

Talk about consistency — Linkin Park has created yet another great album.

‘‘Living Things,’’ the group’s fifth album, is pretty top-notch from its opening track, ‘‘Lost In the Echo’’ — which features Chester Bennington’s signature screech — to its closing numbers, the Skrillex-sounding and grungy instrumental ‘‘Tinfoil,’’ which transitions into the guitar-heavy ‘‘Powerless.’’

The album is dominated by anger and, at moments, disappointment and rage: ‘‘Lies Greed Misery’’ and ‘‘Victimized’’ are self-explanatory, and on ‘‘In My Remains,’’ Bennington sings: ‘‘Falling in the cracks of every broken heart, digging through the wreckage of your disregard.’’

‘‘Living Things’’ comes 12 years after the six-member band released its brilliant debut, ‘‘Hybrid Theory.’’ The new album was produced by Mike Shinoda and Rick Rubin, and it’s reminiscent of the rap-rock sound of the group’s first two discs. The guys took a departure from that on ‘‘Minutes to Midnight’’ and 2010’s ‘‘A Thousand Suns’’ — also produced by Rubin — which had psychedelic moments and featured excerpts from political speeches.

But Linkin Park never disappoints, and ‘‘Living Things’’ is living proof.

CHECK THIS TRACK OUT: It’s simple, but Bennington’s repetitive ‘‘Ohhh’’ on ‘‘Roads Untraveled’’ is oh-so-good.
