Linkin Park: delivering another type of success

Linkin Park is so commercially successful already that it didn't need to worry about how much its latest record was going to sale. That's one of the many advantages of success. Instead of making an effort to deliver yet another typical -and indeed commercial- endeavor, Linkin Park has gone experimental. And they sound amazing. A thousand suns (2010) is like nothing they have edited before. In this album the production is refined, electronica plays an outstanding and definitive role, and many interludes add to the album a subtle yet appropriate mystique of edginess. When a band pushes his boundaries and offers a groundbreaking material like these, you can't but feel a great amount of respect for their talent. Linkin Park, by trying to sound different, has managed to sound striking.
