an experience with layers upon layers of synth and love

Immortal Reviews
Linkin Park never goes without a statement, and they made a truly powerful one on A Thousand Suns.
-
BBC
A haphazard collection from the Cali’ sextet, but one that scales some new highs.
-
Rolling Stone
their skill for melody is obvious
-
Sputnik Music
An extremely well-crafted rock album from a band whose (self-directed) anger is, for once, well placed.
-
Antiquite
This is an uprising based on marketability, gluttonously self-indulgent and commercially ambitious.
-
Mind Equals Blown
the album deserves your ears for your own evaluation
-
Antimusic
It may not totally be the cutting edge album they were aiming for, but it's close, and it's certainly interesting enough to listen to a few times.

Rock Sound
The fourth studio full-length by Linkin Park is a bit of a weird one .... You may not get it to begin with but persevere and you’ll be rewarded.
-
Pop Matters
a glorious work of art from a band that has become so much more than what they once were
-
All Music
the subdued rhythms, riffs, and raps of A Thousand Suns wind up monochromatic
-
Review Rinse Repeat
one HELL of an album
-
The Top Tens
the good songs are some of Linkin Park's greatest tunes I've fed to my ears. But the bad songs make me wanna chop them off.

LA Music Blog
the production value and instrumental/electronic arrangements are really impressive
-
NY Daily News
tries to go surreal but simply steals others' cliches
-
Spin
contains plenty of aggressively arty material that might surprise fans of the megapopular rap-rock outfit
-
Pop Culture Monster
if A Thousand Suns is anything to go by, their next record is going to be another ‘genre-buster’
-
Mithun on the Net
Thought the track list numbers 15, only 9 are proper songs — and I still prefer A Thousand Suns to Minutes to Midnight.

New Zealand Herald
Rap rockers ambitious gamble kind of pays off
-
The Campus
a well-crafted album that does not disappoint
-
The Recorder
Linkin Park doesn’t have much to show with their newest release, A Thousand Suns.
-
Spacial Anomaly
a compelling, thoughtful rock album, one that stands out to me as one of the best of 2010
-
Kill Your Stereo
what this artistic focus results in is an album that is indifferent to the point that it is almost disheartening
-
Live Musician Central
A Thousand Suns blew me away!
-
Kat Cole
the album is not a complete disaster
-
I'm Not a Fanboy
a brilliant album by a band that isn’t quite sure how to handle its own ideas
-
mxdwn.com
a concept album with a revolutionary theme
-
Zilchified
This is one of the best Album EVER released, its a masterpiece!
-
Las Vegas Review-Journal
perhaps the band’s most cohesive sounding record, something that’s very much of a piece, held together with brief, atmospheric interludes that form a sort of connective tissue between the album’s tracks

Although A Thousand Suns is definitely refreshing, it is not exactly something I got excited about ... I do like the album, just not in the way I loved their previous three albums.
