Review: Lost along the way - but gratefully found - I decided to revisit this review because it was inherently unfair. Over the years this has become one of the standout albums of LPs career but maybe I wasn't listening enough to appreciate it then. The maturity and confidence that infuses this album isn't immediately obvious but once it's played enough the whole thing comes together gloriously. I am leaving my old review below because old dogs can learn new tricks ------------------------------------------- 3 stars, not because it deserved it but because I couldn't do 2.5. The extra half a star was in hope that this is merely a pit stop on what has been a great musical journey so far. I tried hard to like this, I really did. I have listened to it 3 or 4 times from start to finish but I just connect to this or even connect it to the Linkin Park I have enjoyed so many times. It is said that the musicians are on a journey which they take us on with their music. I can only hope that this is a cul de sac and LP manage to find the batteries for their GPS. Don't get me wrong, there are flashes of brilliance in this album with stand out rap performances by Shinoda and great vocals by Bennington, but this doesn't come together in the same powerful way that it has on all previous excursions. Much of this seems to be introspective, politicized, turgid and sample ridden. It's as if there was a moratorium on guitars as well with Phoenix's trademark sound all but completely absent. It is brave of artists to do something different, to try out a sound and see if it works. But this doesn't sound like a brave new direction. There is nothing bold or progressive about it. For that you have to listen to all previous albums. I hope that whatever helped persuade them to make this album is now out of their system and that we shall hear LP return with the energy and originality that they have always been previously associated with. Review: How Bands Are Supposed to Mature 101. - Hybrid Theory is the obvious high point - and for good reason I need not go into here - but Meteora and Minutes... sagged like a hammock full of smashed bananas. I got a hold of ATS a couple of years ago with the half-arsed idea of having something easy to listen to while I played Mass Effect 2. That didn't really work out, and I walked away from the situation feeling a little miffed; after all, LP are good for drop D, cranking it up to 11, etc... From the second listen onward, everything clicked. I could go into detail about how much I love it when bands stop singing about depression and girls for a minute to try something actively interesting that delves into ideas and concepts, or how much I love it when a band releases an album that isn't readily suitable for download track by track (almost as if they hadn't released an album at all, but a collection of songs designed for commercial release...) but I will talk about the feeling of incredible satisfaction got from listening to output from a band releasing their fourth album and discovering it is in fact the most adventurous and positive album from them yet. Few bands release a fourth album that's any better than stadium-rock fodder. For Linkin Park to produce this shows that the mainstream album is not yet dead! Blimey. If you listen to this once and wonder what on Earth these guys have been doing with their money, just sit down, stick it on again and actually make the effort. Not everything is designed for instant gratification. Kind of like tantrism. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003V9J6QQ | | Best Sellers Rank | 8,500 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) 222 in Post Rock | | Country of origin | France | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,388) | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 9242182 | | Label | WARNER RECORDS | | Manufacturer | WARNER RECORDS | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2010 | | Product Dimensions | 12.29 x 14.3 x 1.09 cm; 113.97 g | ## Images ![A Thousand Suns - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Z8E8G1OEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lost along the way - but gratefully found *by M***N on 21 September 2010* I decided to revisit this review because it was inherently unfair.

Eventually after hearing all of the singles released (The Catalyst, Waiting For The End, Burning In The Skies and Iridescent) I decided to take the plunge. At first I wasn't keen on it as it didn't sound like their old music, but I was persistent and kept playing it on repeat and I've come to realise that I love it! Personally I think it's one of their best albums, I loved their other albums as at the time the songs were about stuff I was going through. Yes their sound has changed but it has matured and to me still sounds amazing, lyrically wise the songs are very interesting. There are some amazing lines featured in songs the one that stood out the most is in When They Come For Me (great song especially live) 'And I'm not a robot, I'm not a monkey, I will not dance even if the beats funky' I must admit at first I wasn't sure of some of the shorter songs, but listening to the album as a whole I grew to like them. As usual Mike's rapping is featured and Chester's voice sounds amazing. Plus the album sounds good through speakers and headphones :)Buy it you won't regret it, my only regret is not reviewing it sooner, I didn't realise it had so many negative reviews. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/48078519-a-thousand-suns](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/48078519-a-thousand-suns) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
