I've been putting some thought to the last 3 LP records, and how they form a trilogy.
Think about it,
Minute to Midnight is taken from the Doomsday Clock, the closer the clock is to midnight, the closer the world is estimated to be to global disaster, such as a nuclear war.
A Thousand Suns is a reference from the Manhattan project dealing with nuclear warfare.
Living Things well we don't know much yet about the feel of the record, but the album art suggest Nuclear Winter, and the title may suggest the resurfacing of 'Living Things' after the Nuclear War is over.
It's far to say too that some of the songs and song titles touch on similar feelings an emotions
Bleed It Out/Burn It Down
When They Come For Me/I'll Be Gone
Wisdom Justice Love/Lies Greed Misery
Thoughts?
