In the pop world of fusion, somewhere between punk-ballads, supple rock and rapcore, there stands Linkin Park. Since overtaking the podiums in 2000 and going solid on rap collabs with the likes of mighty Jay-Z, Linkin Park has not rested. Four studio albums, a killion concerts down and a some explorations of style later, the band returned with A Thousand Suns in September and are currently taking their rocking babe touring hard. This guys are the true children of performing arts live.The band had announced that this 15 track studio album would be a further metamorphosis, a gentle but firm movement towards other sounds while keeping the Linkin core intact, guitar grits, striking drums and the notorious play of Shinoda’s rap and Chester’s honey-d vocals.
