A Thousand Suns |
First of all, I am not a huge Linkin Park fan. I have most of the studio albums and a remix album in my music library. Knowing most of the song, I really only really like a few of the songs. A friend gave me their new album
A Thousand Suns a few days before it officially released. I listened to a few of the songs and didn't think they were anything special. In fact, I was surprised that it was actually Linkin Park because it really doesn't sound like them. I really wasn't feeling it, so I listened to something else. Later, I gave it another try, listening from start to finish with no stops. The first few tracks really are nothing special. Tracks 2 and 4 are under one minute long and are basically just random industrial sounds. There are only a few songs that really stand out. The album's hit single,
The Catalyst, isn't really my cup of tea. The song is pretty repetitive and has a pretty generic tone. I do like some aspects of the song but its not great. I would give the album a 5 out of 10. The album is just too generic for me and has nothing to grab my attention. It also doesn't sound anything like Linkin Park. I wouldn't recommend buying it, but if you are so curious about it, I would listen to it from friends or on youtube.
