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).
