"Since the release of their last album, frontmen Mike Shinoda and Chester have been busy with solo projects such as Bennington's Dead By Sunrise and Shinoda's collaboration with Hans Zimmer on the soundtrack to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The time apart helped revitalize the band enough that they're already considering a sequel. "We're writing such great music at the moment that I'm almost tempted to go on 50 shows around the world and then get right back to making another record," says Bennington. "Once the ball gets rolling, that's all I want. It's like a drug." (rollingstone. com) Linkin Park's statement on the new album "A Thousand Suns": "We didn't make an album. We spent months destroying and rebuilding our band. The resulting material filled the studio's hard drives with all sorts of abstract sounds. Amorphous echoes, cacophonous samples, and hand staccato merged into a fleeting melody. We didn't know if any of these unorthodox ideas could be incorporated into a traditional album, but we knew we didn't want our next album to be predictable. When we got together in the studio to record our first album, all six of us expressed our determination to put ourselves in an uncertain position and create something really bold. We asked ourselves: Were we all more serious than ever about ignoring the rules of commercial ambition and instead pursuing what we consider to be true art...?"(linkinpark. de)Review "The Los Angeles-based nu-metal sextet is riding a new wave with their fourth studio album, the follow-up to "Minutes to Midnight". Heavy metal passages alternate with industrial sounds, while techno beats, brooding piano solos and tribal percussion echo in between. All of this is often woven into a bombastic carpet of sound, upon which epic melodies are then laid." (courier. at) "Linkin Park didn't want to deliver a "song snack" on their fourth album, but rather take the listener on a journey. This intention was successful on "A Thousand Suns."
