Best Songs From Linkin Park's A Thousand Suns

The Top Ten
1 Waiting for the End

Needs no explanation at all. It is the best no doubt. But I thought it IRIDESCESNT should be on the top 2 list. It is also very nice song. If you close and listen to this it you will be somewhere else. :) Waiting for the end is again the same case. So its my choice.

Just a wonderful song with such a strong beat and powerful vocals that just pull the band together. Not to mention what an amazing voice they all have! Definitely the best!

Its simply the best. I feel that both its lyrics and music is perfect. In one word there is no match to it but you can't deny the fact that Catalyst is also good.

2 The Catalyst

Simply the best of ATS. The lyrics is fast and music is nice.
I wont say that its best of Linkin Park Because I personally I don't like this album (comparing to their other albums)
But you can't compare this song with songs from other albums like In the ENd, Numb, Lost In the echo, crawling Etc.

Well this is my least favourite songs from ATS...but that doesn't mean its not good...but it is nothing compared to other songs from ATS like blackout, when they come for me, waiting for the end, burning in the skies and iridescent of course

Amazing song one of my favorites songs, but the people don't understand how genial it's The Catalyst and A Thousand Suns. Just listen to very loud, and you'll know ok?

3 Iridescent

I don't understand how this song isn't among the top 3! It has the perfect blend of meaning and music! =O I mean, there's a reason why it's in Transformers... =P Still, I mean, just close your eyes and listen... And you'll realize why this is the best song in A Thousand Suns.

Of all the songs on the album, this song probably has the most beautiful lyrics. Combined with Chester's voice and the excellent music, I believe this song is the best one on the album, and one of their best of all time.

Fr Gods Sake people! What the hell is dis? Like this is the best song from A thousand Suns... Awesome song... best from this album... for me:1) Iridescent
2) Waiting For The End
3) When They come for me is fun to listen

4 Burning in the Skies

I really enjoy the beating of the song, and the lyrics are awesome.. One of the reasons I love Linkin Park is because they have excellent lyrics and great music. There's no personal favorite of mine but I must admit that you guys together are the best!

This is the best song from a mediocre album. Though most Linkin Park fans won't like it because it is much softer than typical LP songs, it is the least confused song on the album, and it doesn't have crappy rapping or much autotune.

Interesting to see how many people have no idea that Empty Spaces is an 18 seconds interlude, but anyway: Burning In The Skies is the only mindblowing song on this bad album. I love this song, it's a calm ballad with meaningful lyrics and beautiful guitar and vocals. Vote!

5 Wretches and Kings

I understand that people like the song Waiting for the end, but this song is much better. Waiting for the end is just a song that you either hate or love, and for me I hate it because it does not sound like the old LP. Wretches and Kings has all of the elements of great music and that is why this song is the best from the album.

Song should definitely be ranked higher, the song reminds me of the hybrid theory and meteora songs linkin park used to produce also Mr. Hahn's solo at the end is just SICK!

This Is The Best Song From A Thousand Suns Album IT Remembers Me By Old Linkin Park It Should Be No. 1 Have Fun And This Is My Opinion

6 When They Come for Me

Thid is hard for me to choose, this album features many awesome songs Iridescent, Waiting For The End, The Catalyst, The Messenger... But wow, WTCFM is the only song that gives me that energy to jump and run while screaming this insane rapping... The end is so epic too!

What beats man! Great work by Linkin Park. Love the style. I can listen to this song again and again

It's the most versatile Linkin Park ever had.. Never heard such genre.. Love the ending..

7 Blackout

Even though I'm a huge fan of their new sound just as well as their old sound, I can't help but think that this rage-induced song is the best on the album. It's just so... SATISFYING. Everything from the lyrics to Chester's brilliant vocals brings out all the emotions lying dormant within you and helps you let it all out. And, as for the dubsteppy breakdown in the middle: pure awesomeness. It seems to describe somewhat of a conflict and buildup of emotions within, which is finally put to rest with the following and final segment of the song, the part where Mike soothingly sings of starting anew, bringing about a turning point in the brilliant, lethargic story this album tells.

Linkin Park is considered Nu Metal by many and this song finally proves they can play heavy metal with their sound. Heavier than anything in Hybrid Theory, and that album is pretty heavy. By far the heaviest song Linkin Park has released, and it just happens to be my favorite in this album.

8 The Messenger

The best album closer after A line in the sand. I love how the entire album has an apocalyptic theme (at least at the surface), which builds until The Catalyst; the last song is like a ray of hope in all the darkness portrayed by the rest of the songs. All the songs are so complex but The Messenger, on the contrary features simple instrumentals over which Chester sings about hope. Fits the album perfectly! Great way to finish an epic album.

The guitar solo with Chester singing best defines the band how they have evolved over the years. One of the better tracks on this album especially how it closes off the album.

Definitely deserves to be number 1... My top 5:
1. The Messenger
2. Iridescent
3. Burning in The Skies
4. Waiting For The End
5. When They Come For Me

9 Robot Boy

Most beautiful song on this album I never bore out of this song. Whole album is just a crap but including this song Robot boy, Iridescent, burning in the skies, the catalyst, waiting for the end the whole album is a crap...

This is the best linkin park peaceful and slow songs they have ever made... What a beautiful chourses with great mike shinoda and chester singing... THIS HAVE TO BE ON THE PLACE OF JUST UPPER THAN THAT OVERRATED SONG WRETCHES AND KINGS AND BELOW THAN IRISECENDENT OR BURNING IN THE SKIES... I THINK IF THEY MADE IT SINGLE THAN IT CAN EVEN DEFEAT JUSTIN BIEBER POP SONG - BABY, NEVER SAY NEVER...

This is so amazing. The piano riffs sound great and it's a little slow but it is still good

10 Blackbirds

I first wondered why this is on the list, but then I saw it's the iTunes-Bonus-Track.. But if it was really on "A Thousand Suns" it would be the best, I think. It is very simple, but beautiful.
Too bad, not much people ever heard of this song, even though they listened to "A Thousand Suns"..

Doesn't fit a Thousand Suns, but absolutely awesome song. Although its gray and partially dead, Chester's Vocals are so great, and the music is so calm... It is underrated... At least because its not shown as single or in almubs. Buried deep.

Love this one

The Contenders
11 The Requiem

The Catalyst as an even more of a masterpiece.

Should be in the next Portal game.

Gotta listen to it

12 Fallout
13 Jornada del Muerto

This song has a lot more deeper meaning just like iridescent. Great music

MY EARS! *turns down volume* That's better. Still love it.

14 The Radiance
15 Wisdom, Justice, and Love

I personally love this one. Not the best on the album (of course), but it's still amazing.

Stupid song...Stupid Album

16 Empty Spaces

I looked it up Linkinpedia about this song and it says
"Empty Spaces" serves as an introduction to the more hip-hop leaning track "When They Come For Me". The consists of samples of crickets chirping and some kind of battle in a war. Brad Delson speaking in Spanish through a megaphone can be heard in the background of the track as well. Parts of the track appear again near the end of "When They Come For Me".

The best Linkin Park song ever! Great drumming parts done by Dave, craziest guitar solo played by Joe, amazing Rob's screaming, perfect synths and scratches by Chester, Mike's bass job and cool Brad's rapping with a lot of meaningful letters just incredible together in this superdifficultstructured supermegacomposition. Even Numb isn't so good... ;P

Amazing song from this album, and also ten times better than Waiting For The End. This song is so underrated. Great guitar riffs and many solos played by Brad, and Mike's rapping and Chester's singing are amazing. Please vote this up the list!

17 No Roads Left

This song is from minutes to midnight, not a thousand suns

18 In the End

This is the best from a thousand suns
