Linkin Park - A Thousand Suns
Genre: Alternative Rock, Rap Rock, Electronic Rock
Release year: 2010
Linkin Park has been a band I've loved since I was an angsty depressed pre-teen. The death of Chester (the original singer of the band) devistated me. This band kept me company and gave me the oppritunity to shut out the world and be in my own space.
This album is a healing journey of any kind. When I heard it sometime in 2011, I felt like I was on a journey of finding control of my life, walking through my emotions while I was listening to it. When you listen to the full album in order, every song blends in with each other. It's the first time I discovered how an album can intertwine and flow within each-other seemlessly. It feels like I'm in a movie when I sit down and listen to this album.
When They Come For Me is an all-time favorite from this album. I feel so empowered and energized when I listen to it.
If I were to put the albums in order from favorite to least favorite, this one would be first of course. Following that would be Minutes to Midnight, Hybrid Theory, Meteora, and Living Things.
