Jul 17, 2012This is definitely the most organic of Linkin Park's albums. Highly experimental and fully of politically and socially charged lyrics, A Thousand Suns holds up well, but it seems to be lacking much of the heart of the albums before it. It's a good album, but not a very strong one.

Dec 23, 20121 mark for iredescent, and one mark for the catalyst cos those are the only two decent tracks on the album. the rest sucks! this album is an insult to hybrid theory and meteora!

May 11, 2013For now, Linkin Park is quite crap. Not for this album. Though quite far away from maintaing its experimental themes of apocalypse (which they are trying to talk about in the album), Linkin Park's shift has gone unnoticed. And by far this is their best album. Not fantastic but not so bad.

Mar 10, 2018Most of my criticisms of this album are of the unnecessary filler instrumentals which have no point to them. Empty Spaces? Come on, that track may as well be called "20 seconds of filler". But the full length tracks are pretty consistently good. Tracks like Wretches & Kings, Blackout, The Catalyst and Waiting for the End show us why Linkin Park is such a great band

May 22, 2019A masterpiece! Linkin Park experienced with electronic sounds and it payed off.
-
Sep 24, 2015This is the experimentation that Linkin Park should have done instead of Minutes of Midnight. A Thousand Suns pushes the boundaries for the band, and it's made them stronger than ever.

Jan 11, 2016A Thousand Suns é o álbum mais aclamado da crÃtica e o que tem um maior conceito do linkin Park, o conceito da guerra nuclear. Ele é maravilhoso, com músicas ótimas. É um dos meus três favoritos da banda. Só há uma coisa que ele peca: excesso de faixas curtas.
Pontos Altos: Robot Boy, Blackout, The Catalyst
Pontos Baixos: The Radiance, Jornada Del Muerto, Fallout -
Mar 13, 2016If you loved their previous albums with their nu-metal sound, then you can't love this one. If Linkin Park wants more hits, they should stay at their nu-metal sound or make more masterpieces because there is nothing here like In The End, Numb, Crawling e.t.c

Apr 16, 2016It's an artistic album, I enjoyed and found it creative. There are a lot of overcoming songs which are great and catchy, "Waiting For The End" for example, is one of them.

With Rick Rubin co-producing, the band embraces not just synth-pop clamor but also dancehall-style chants and U2's grandiosity. It's the sound of Linkin Park feeling their way toward a new identity, but their skill for melody is obvious.
-
They didn't want whatever their next album was to be predictable, and while A Thousand Suns might have emerged by accident compared to previous LPs, it's certainly a far from plays-to-perceived-type affair.
-
On its latest release, A Thousand Suns, the six-piece rock act truly breaks the habit of everything we've heard from it before.
