The new Linkin Park

Everyone's opinion is different about this topic.  I just wanted to get a general consensus from everyone.  What do you think about the new album.  Is it just them trying new sounds? Or did they take a bad bong hit and sang some crap?  I think A Thousands Suns is...interesting to say the least.  Some of the tracks are cool, and the little intros before some of the songs add a decent effect.  Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
