Description: Linkin Parks second studio effort (not counting the 2002 remix album
Reanimation) overflows with glossy production values and Big Rock oomph, fully embracing the pop instincts of their
Hybrid Theory debut. For many,
Theory sounded inexcusably corporate, from its too-timely rap-rock sound to the long list of product endorsements included in the liner notes.
Meteora will only amplify those complaints, but this album is actually truer to the bands nature. Its still impossible not to hear strains of Limp Bizkit, Korn, Rage Against the Machine, and the like. None of those acts, howeve, would try something as blatantly anthemic as "Easier to Run," which would sound fine to a Def Leppard fan, or as borderline danceable as "Breaking the Habit" and "Session." Linkin Park is what Trent Reznor was always afraid of becoming, but if you ever wished he would drop the pretenses and just make a hair-metal record, you'll find
Meteora to your liking. --

Reviews:
AWESOME SONGS
The title says it all! All the songs are huge hits and Hybrid Theory was just as good. Will they ever make a bad song? Doesn't seem like it. Almost all the songs on this CD have been on the radio at least once. Linkin Park has done an amazing job so far. Keep making awesome music!
best LinkinPark Cd ever!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the best LinkinPark CD ever made.But I think you could have left out the session you know the 12 song the DVD is really cool to.
fake rock for posers
linkin park is yet another horrible nu metal band along with limp bizkit and simple plan who have ruined the rock music scene.this lousy rap rock album has no guitar solos.chester bennington is an awful guitarist and is not talented like jimmy page, david gilmour and tony iommi.he needs to take some guitar lessons from them.anyway this sucks!!!!!!!.A MUST AVOID. to listen to a real heavy metal albumm get paranoid from black sabbath instead.one star
LiNkIn PaRk Is sO CoOl!!!
I love Linkin Park. They are the heaviest band I have ever heard!!! I love TRL!!! Carson Daly rules!! I want to go to every Linkin Park concert that hits my hometown! Chester Bennington is SO CUTE!!! I love Jay-Z also. I have every Linkin Park album and that new one with Jay-Z also!!! I LOVE LINKIN PARK...
(this is sarcasm)
Linkin Park (...). I used to like them...in the 7th grade! I'm a 10th grader and I know good music that is beyond corporate radio and MTV. If you want some good alternative metal, get some Mudvayne, old Korn, and Slipknot. For slightly better stuff, how about some Pantera, Hatebreed, In Flames or Fear Factory? Or Machine Head, the band Linkin Park ripped off of? Even indie punk (what I call emo) is better than this poor excuse for music. If you like this album, please, take out your gun and deliver a bullet to your head.
Meteora Rocks
This CD is awesome just like Hybrid Theory was. Linkin Park is doing what so few others have achieved; they are making CD's where all the songs are good. For the rock fans there's tracks like Don't Stay, Lying from You, Hit the Floor, Figure 9, and from the Inside. There's slower and softer tunes like Somewhere I Belong, Easier to Run, Breaking the Habit, and Numb. And of course the more hip-hop oriented songs such as Faint and Nobody's Listening featuring long rap verses. Overall, this a great album where every song is an enjoyable experience and this CD is really worth the money.
Real, TRUE metal!
Forget about Black Sabbath! They were a bunch of druggies that deserved no contract. THIS is the definition of TRUE metal! Get it or else!!
