This album marks a departure from the experimental and electronic rock influences of the band's previous two albums, ''Music/AThousandSuns'' and ''Music/LivingThings'', and returns to the metal sound of their earlier releases. The album was reportedly a statement by the band against mainstream rock bands of the time, who were accused by band member Mike Shinoda as "trying to be other bands and playing it safe". To this end, the album's title was inspired by the band seeing themselves as the party that is hunting to bring back the energy of rock.

!! In the tropelands of today:
* AlternateAlbumCover: [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3b/Vinyl_Cover_of_Hunting_Party.jpg The vinyl edition]] has an alternate take of the archer image.
* BreakupSong: "Final Masquerade" is about reaching the end of a relationship compromised by both parties holding secrets.
--> "We said it was forever but then it slipped away,\\
Standing at the end of the final masquerade."
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Mentioned in Rakim's rap in "Guilty All the Same"
--> "Even corporate hands is filthy\\
They talk team and take the paper route\\
All they think about is bank accounts, assets and realty"
* DarkerAndEdgier: This is Linkin Park's heaviest post-''Music/{{Meteora}}'' album, if not their heaviest overall.
* EpicInstrumentalOpener:
** "Guilty All the Same" takes over a minute and a half for the vocals to start.
** "Mark the Graves" has a barely audible whisper at the end of the first minute and takes a little under half a minute more for the vocals to come in properly.
* EpicRocking:
** "A Line in the Sand" (6:35) is one of only two straight examples of this on a Linkin Park album (the other being [[Music/MinutesToMidnight "The Little Things Give You Away"]]).
** "Guilty All the Same" (5:55) is only a few seconds short of qualifying.
* FadingIntoTheNextSong: Most of the songs are linked by samples. "Final Masquerade" fades directly into "A Line in the Sand".
* GenreRoulette: [[DownplayedTrope Firmly on the rock side of things]], but still present. This album experiments with thrash metal ("Guilty All the Same", "A Line in the Sand"), punk rock ("War"), progressive metal ("Mark the Graves"), an instrumental jam ("Drawbar"), and ''Music/MinutesToMidnight''-esque alternative rock ("Until It's Gone", "Final Masquerade"), in addition to returning to nu metal.
* LongestSongGoesLast: "A Line in the Sand" is the last song and one of only two EpicRocking songs Linkin Park has done.
* LyricalColdOpen: Album opener "Keys to the Kingdom" starts with Chester screaming the chorus almost without warning (with just a split second of feedback that's easy to miss).
* NewSoundAlbum: Back to NuMetal, though with a bigger emphasis on AlternativeMetal and HardRock than the first two albums.
* RevisitingTheRoots: A return to NuMetal after two primarily electronic albums.
* RockIsAuthenticPopIsShallow: Rock and rap are authentic, according to Rakim in "Guilty All the Same"
--> "Like authentic hip-hop and rock,\\
'Til pop and radio and record companies killed me"
* TakeThat: "Rebellion" is one to those who rebel against a state of affairs that isn't too bad in comparison with others.
* AWildRapperAppears: "Guilty All the Same" is a straight-up rock number until [[Music/EricBAndRakim Rakim]] shows up with a rap verse.
