Bursting Radiance - Review on Linkin Park's "A Thousand Suns"

Howdy kids, it's your favorite -- ah, screw it, let's just jump on into it. I'll start right off the bat by saying this review will have very mixed opinions in it, however I feel as a fan I must throw my two cents out there. A mere couple weeks ago Linkin Park released a brand new album dubbed "A Thousand Suns" using the springboard of their single "The Catalyst."

Right off the bat this album is drastically different than their previous work on "Hybrid Theory", "Reanimation", "Meteora" and "Minutes To Midnight," sadly some may not see this as a good thing. Even with "Minutes To Midnight", although it was very experimental and more eclectic in it's nature partly brought on by producer Rick Rubin who also produced this album as well, it still had the sound and vibe of Linkin Park if not on the whole album then on a select handful of tracks. With "A Thousand Suns" there are less examples of the old LP however in further exploration of the album it is really the next logical step.
