Linkin Park: 'We make different tomato soup'

Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington has said that the band make an effort not to repeat themselves on each album.

The singer told Metro that current album A Thousand Suns features fewer distorted guitars than its predecessors.

Bennington said: "The electronic element of the band has come to the forefront. From now on we'll do things we haven't done before when we work on a new album - like doing a heavy song without falling on the obvious arrangements and distorted guitars.

"We'll have to find other ways of being aggressive. When things feel like they could have been on a previous album, we'll trash it."

He added: "It keeps our creative edge. We're not a machine that makes the same tomato soup over and over again.

"For us, it's like we've made that tomato soup but we've forgotten what we've put in it so we'll make something else and hopefully you'll like that too. We want to be artists and to continue making music we find interesting."

Linkin Park play the iTunes Festival at London's Roundhouse on July 4.
