Linkin Park finally gets a spot and it's their 4th album, A Thousand Suns. An album that was met with widespread criticism on release, both from longtime fans and critics with the band being labelled "selling out" and "going electronic and leaving their rock roots". Over the past decade, this concept based album has seen a new critical re-evaluation and is now considered one of their best projects.
Here's how I would rank these albums. I'm considering the longer Prospekt's March Edition of Viva La Vida. The third column has the number of songs that I've saved out of the total number of songs in the album. The total excludes interludes and alternate versions of songs.
| Rank | Album Name | Saved Songs | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Viva La Vida | 9/14 | 100/100 |
| 2 | A Thousand Suns | 8/9 | 100/100 |
| 3 | Trench | 7/14 | 100/100 |
| 4 | American Idiot | 2/13 | 80/100 |
| 5 | Native | 2/14 | 63/100 |
| 6 | Absolution | 1/13 | 69/100 |
| 7 | All This Bad Blood | 1/24 | 69/100 |
As for ATS, saved every single song except The Messenger (and the interludes).
