    A Thousand Suns - My Opinion

     

    1 - The Requiem (5/10)

     

    Solid start but would have been better if Mike just used his normal voice without messing with it. Get the impression its meant to come off as a child singing

     

    2 – The Radiance (3/10)

    Weird and poor. Should have just been made as one track with The Requiem

     

    3 – Burning in the Skies (8/10)

     

    Single Alert!!! Solid enough song. Singalongable! Lyrically, very simplistic, like The Catalyst

     

    4 – Empty Spaces (1/10)

    This is pointless to me

     

    5 – When They Come for me (7/10)

    Beginning is just weird. Mike is really solid here though. Not sure about the group singing parts i.e. the ahhhhhss. Sort of turns it into a Bollywood tune! Wish Chester was more present on this one

     

    6 – Robot Boy (5/10)

    Sounds like boyband stuff or something Enya could release. Really disappointed by this one. Whole song sounds like it could have been used as backing vocals to another song

     

    7 – Jornada Del Muerto (5/10)

    Just don’t really like it and not sure why it supposed to mesh with the rest of the album

     

    8 – Waiting for the End (9/10)

    One of my favourites and clear to see why its been flagged as a single release. Chester is amazing in this and Mike’s rap adds, rather than takes away from the feel of the song

     

    9 – Blackout (8/10)

    Had high hopes for this one based on the LPTV episode. I’m a little bit let down but only a little. Love the start and Chester is amazing but don’t like the remix part in the middle of the song but I get how its meant to transition the song to the latter part.

     

    10 – Wretches and Kings (9/10)

    Really love this one and the speech really flows with the overall song. Love the heavy beat. Could be a single

     

    11 – Wisdom, Justice and Love (6/10)

     

    Good but distortion ruins it for me

     

    12 – Iridescent (8/10)

    Single Alert!!! Really nice and relaxing song. SOTD/LOATR for ATS

     

    13 – Fallout (3/10)

    Another pointless interlude. Really hate this

     

    14 – The Catalyst (9/10)

    Loved this since I first heard it. Its lyrically simple but it works

     

    15 – The Messenger (8/10)

     

    Beautiful but doesn’t sound like it goes with the rest of the album

     

     

    Overall, I give ATS 7/10. I had really high hopes for this album but I feel let down. I’m by no means a bring back HT/Meteora fanatic but I do love those albums. MTM had more variety IMO than ATS.

    The interludes are pointless and terrible to me. Wake and Session look down on these interludes and laugh!

    I love both soft and heavy LP but the latter is very much absent on ATS. I hope that heavy LP songs don’t make way too much for the softer stuff in the live show.

    I understand LP’s need & want to branch out from their previous sound but ATS has been a big disappointment for me. There is hope that some of these songs will sound better live which I am really intrigued to see.

    I applaud and encourage LP for branching out into new territory but I hope the next album (if there is one), will be much better than this.

     

    THIS IS MY OPINION ONLY AND I AM ENTITLED TO IT. I have also pre-ordered the deluxe version of ATS too which I will not be cancelling regardless of my feelings on ATS

    not sure I like it... chorus is very bad in my opinion. mike's part gets me up and pumped and then chesters spoils it for me.

    I feel you

    but i think this song live its going to be amazing.

    Personally, the first half of the song didn't do much for me, but then the ending melted my face off. I give the song a 7.7/10 though it'll probably grow on me. What's really significant about the song is that it shows me that there's ALOT of potential for the album. I'm almost curtain that there are ganna be epic songs, like TLTGYA was for MTM, except I feel there are ganna be more than 1. I'm really excited.
