LINKIN PARK "a thousand suns" cd,2010.
linkin's fifth album, and fourth one i own...i love these guys!
had it have been one of their earlier albums this would have gone in the 'metal' thread...but these guys have mellowed out a bit over the years...
not so much of the metal sounds, nor the screaming vocals and rap. just well thought out brooding,moody tracks for the most part.
lyrically, one of the best bands out there in my opinion,always have something intelligent to say on the darkest,deepest depressive thoughts from the human mind, songs of hopelessness,dispair and angst ridden pain abound.
i guess the biggest surprise here for me is that they actually do a complete acoustic track here in "the messenger"...which could almost be called a ballad.
fans all over the world are divided over this album, some wanted a return to their original sound, others,like me, like the way they have matured with age over the last decade.
allmusic dont rate this one highly, giving it a converted score of 1.5, a bit harsh IMO, but them's the breaks!
