Huffingtonpost reported that Linkin Park intentionally lost some fans.

Last August 20, the source said on their post that the bassist/rapper Mike Shinoda met them to talk about band's new album titled "The Hunting Party" and the direction the band is going.

According to the source, it seems that the rock band has been able to maintain its success by changing the genre of their music over the past few years. Their genre evolves from the rap-rock style of their hit debut album Hybrid Theory and moving into a heavier, electric sound, they added.

The Japanese vocalist told Ricky Camilleri:

"We're still growing. We're not stagnant at all. We're not going to make the same album every time, so don't even expect it. We lost fans along the way intentionally."

"We intentionally let them go. We said, 'If that's all you guys want to listen to, we made two albums for you. You've got those two albums and you can always listen to those. If you decide to come along for the ride, though, the good news is that there's going to be a lot of fun surprises."
