Review - Linkin Park : A Thousand Suns

For the last couple of weeks, i've been waiting for the new album by Linkin Park, " A Thousand Suns". And, well i must say, they've strayed farther away from the sound which made them famous in the first place. Well, i'm no music expert but i do call myself a music enthusiast. And that enthusiast was left frowning when i first heard this album.

I can't pretend i like this new sound of lp's but i gotta say that critics are gonna have a field day proving they can praise an artist for a change too. Thats pretty obvious isn't it ?? Second album running, lp have been trying to please the critics, they say the fans are gonna follow. Well, we hated "Minutes to Midnight" too, didn't we ? Maybe we'll end up liking this album too..... But first impressions are first impressions. I'm disappointed at this music. Joseph Hahn seems to have done more work than the rest of the band combined. If i struggled to categorize m2m in one genre of rock, then i'm gonna have a hard time categorizing ats in any genre at all, partially or otherwise.

Linkin Park have shown once again, why everybody speaks so highly of them. They've shown us once again that they're the most versatile artist out there and that they truly deserve a place among legends. They've once again created a new genre for themselves regardless of all the boos they're surely gonna get from their fans. Its quite obvious that they work for their music and not for the fans. So, hats off to you guys for being such true musicians but i won't like your new album (for now).

I know what I want !! I know i've made this declaration a couple of times before, and I know i've backtracked more than that but I think I know now.....I've always wondered what I want most in life. What I miss most in life, what is it that will make some sense out of this pointless existence ? My answers have varied from music, soulmate, a girl and what not..... I've always wondered what is it that makes me so incompetent at relationships..... I think I know the answer.

I'm a consummate loner. I have never, probably never will trust anybody with my secrets. No matter how hard I try, no matter how much I love someone I just don't trust people. Thats who I am. Thats what I am. I can't change who and what I am. I've spent (wasted) a lot of time becoming who I am, learning what I am, how can I give anybody the right to change me if I don't give it to myself ?? I just can't. I never will. All i'll ever do is hope that someday, someone will understand this and try to understand me.

So, what do I want ?? I want someone who understands that i'm not talkin about myself unless you're asking me something. I want someone who'd accept my need for loneliness. I want someone who would understand when I need to share something. I want someone who has the patience to deal with the impossible habits that I have. I want someone who loves me for what I am. Yeah, thats a lot to ask for. But I keep on hoping and maybe someday i'll be okay, someday......

What does it take to be drenched in utter, complete sadness in a moment ? Absolutely nothing. You're left thunderstruck, completely out of the blue. Why do i always bring my and everybody other's mood down to these trenches where i recide ?

I dont understand, now i'm fearing i never will. I just fall down into states of so immense sadness, i dont know what to make of it. Suddenly, there's everybody asking "what happened to you ??" and i've got no idea what to answer to them.

i dont know when it all started, but i know when its gonna end. When i die. I know longer believe there is "the one" who'll make me happy. 'Cause i'm doomed to forever stay like this. I would only make her sad coz she wont understand me, but nobody's gonna understand that i don't understand myself either.......
