Linkin Park - A Thousand Suns

Epic album, been a fan since 2000 when i was a young teenager and loved them ever since, mainly because of how they adapt their sound, change and progress, as one thing i can't stand is the same 4 albums in a row (Disturbed anyone?)

Anyways, anyone who is getting it? Heard it already? and general thoughts?

My thoughts are that its bloody fantastic!

Send me a copy Flip!!!

Actually I felt quite old standing watching Linkin' Park at London Arena all those years ago...good gig though, apart from the kiddies not getting a mosh pit going. Amateurs! Cool

Some of minutes to midnight was all right (bleed it out comes to mind), have found most of there new stuff is pretty wishy washy commercialised crap though.

Meteora FTW.

Went and saw them doing minutes to midnight live, to be honest the best part was when they did all there old tracks though. Faint live was epic.

Stuck Kerrang on the radio in the lab the other day as the old gigs who prefer radio 2 were out for the day, a song came on, I asked one of the girls if it was Linkin Park, as it sounded like them, only shitter than usual (post Hybrid Theory of course). Indeed, it turns out it was, and if that song is representative of the rest of the album I'll save the bandwidth.

Top link on pirate bay was downloaded in less than 10 minutes, doesn't sound crap quality either.

Shame I can't say the same about the music, wouldn't want to pay for it, hence posting the link.

Hope they do an Eminem and realise they have made a crap few albums and make an awesome one next.

I thought the new stinking park single was Pendulum untill some shitdick radio DJ said otherwise. Complete bollocks.

I see most peoples views are those of people who don't like change.

I loved the first two albums and MtM was tough for me to digest at first just like this one.

I just cant stand the same album over and over again, and i also like to have a band who's discography is varied.

Needless to say im loving this new album.

Its not about change. I'm one of the few it seems that has liked LP up until this cd. I just dont like this CD regardless of who sung it.

The fact that it was LP was the only reason I actually listened past the first couple of songs. I just wasnt impressed with it at all.

Seemed they were trying to do a concept album but without a concept, judging by the little music interludes etc. Concept albums are very hard to do and to do well as Green Day found out with their American Idiot cd. Good concept but bad album.

I also agree with what Mr Ghost said. Apart from the metallica part. Laughing

I totally agree, maybe this new CD caters to my taste more than yours, but i adore it, had it non stop repeat since i got it! Very Happy

Blackout being my personal highlight!

The reason i like this more is because its different, it was unexpected and i was definitely caught off guard by this album.

Like i mentioned before, i really dislike bands that sound the same for 10 years, for 5 albums running.

Case in point: Disturbed.

This band had a pretty good first CD and all albums since that have been pretty good, Indestructible and Ten thousand fists being my personal highlights, but by the time asylum has come around im totally sick to the back teeth with the same stuff.

All the songs sounded weak, it just felt so familiar that i could have mistaken it for another of their albums.... mainly believe.

So what im trying to say is that LP just has something that captures me everytime!

Overall I have liked every Linkin park album, but I do not like this one.
There are a couple of goodies in there, but on the whole it's wishy washy (thanks c_dug) and weak..it seems like they ran out of ideas an released an album of crap.

Chesters side project 'Dead By Sunrise' debut album 'Out of Ashes' is much better IMHO

Flip · Super Spammer Joined: 28 Feb 2004 Karma :

My verdict...

Weak shit.

When a band changes as much as LP have they should change their name and not sell crap to the fans that pay for it and expect better.

Lame as fuck. Thumbs Down
