This is what Mike Shinoda is saying (after reading which I think that the whole concept-less concept album doesn't bug me so much):
"People asked us if it's a concept record, and in the middle of the process, we were contemplating whether or not that was what we wanted to do. And I think, as we finished it, it became clear that, usually the problem with concept records is, like, [the] term usually refers to things like [the Who's] Tommy or ... rock operas and stuff like than that has a narrative. And this doesn't have a narrative; it's more abstract that that. "
Anyhow, for all those people who haven't heard A Thousand Suns yet, it's not so bad an album. The songs Wretches and Kings, Blackout and Waiting for the End are actually pretty good songs, now that I have heard some parts of the album again.
