距离上一张专辑《末日警钟 毁灭·新生》三年后,本专辑再度延续环保议题,并带出反战意识,专辑的灵感来自被称为美国“原子弹之父”的物理学家罗伯特·奥本海默,在史上第一颗原子弹试爆时想起了印度著名史诗薄伽梵歌,引用所说出的一段名句:“If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One”[1],因此这张专辑背后的意识比《末日警钟 毁灭·新生》更浓厚,是一张更高层次的概念专辑。专辑再度邀请多座格莱美奖加冕的摇滚宗师瑞克·卢宾(Rick Rubin)担任制作人,延续上一张的曲风。

专辑中的“The Catalyst”(催化剂)是这张专辑表达反战意识之代表,同时是特别为美商艺电公司(Electronic Arts)的第一人称射击游戏《荣誉勋章》所作的主题曲,其后更邀请全球热爱音乐的高手来制作混音版。“Iridescent”(虹彩光辉)一曲被变形金刚导演麦可·贝选为(变形金刚3)的主题曲,成为林肯公园第三首被用在变形金刚的歌曲。“Blackout”(一片黑暗)一曲也被EA收录在其招牌足球游戏FIFA 11中。

《烈日千阳》中引用了罗伯特·奥本海默(左)、马里奥·萨维奥英语Mario Savio(中)以及马丁·路德·金恩(右)的知名演说。

  1. ^ "We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds. I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.(参见维基文库(英文))"
  2. ^ "There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part. You can't even passively take part! And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop! And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it — that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!"(参见维基文库(英文)
  3. ^ "I come to this magnificent house of worship tonight because my conscience leaves me no other choice. A true revolution of values will lay hands on the world order and say of war: 'This way of settling differences is not just.' This business of burning human beings with napalm, of filling our nation's homes with orphans and widows, of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into veins of people normally humane, of sending men home from dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged, cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love."(越南之后:打破沉默的时刻英语Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence - 1967.04.04)
