A Thousand Suns is the uplifting fourth studio album by American rock band Linkin Park. Arguably the most powerful album the band has put out to date, A Thousand Suns is a one-off concept album that challenges the emotion of hate, humanity’s greatest curse. Alluding constantly to the woes of nuclear warfare and its effects and consequences, Linkin Park throw away their hard rock sound for a more synthetic one, in an effort to spread a message of hope and love in a world filled with war and hate.
