Linkin Park's A Thousand Suns, offered here on CD, is the 2010 record where the band tore up its own blueprint and built a concept album about fear, war and the end of things.
After two albums that refined the nu metal sound they helped define, Chester Bennington, Mike Shinoda and company went looking for something riskier. Working again with Rick Rubin, with Shinoda co-producing, they leaned into electronics, sampled speeches and a flowing sequence designed to be heard from start to finish. It split fans on release and has steadily gained respect ever since.
The Catalyst is the centrepiece, a slow-building anthem that piles synths and chants into a huge final release. Waiting for the End mixes Shinoda's rapping with a reggae-tinged lilt and one of Bennington's most open-hearted vocals. Burning in the Skies drifts on a mournful melody, and Iridescent builds to a communal singalong that feels like a hand reaching back after all the darkness.
Between the songs, short interludes and spoken passages stitch everything together, so the record plays more like a film than a playlist. The production is crisp and cinematic, full of glitchy textures and wide-open space.
It remains the band's boldest swing, and for many fans, the one they return to most often.
