I understand the weight of that statement but it is something that is constantly reaffirmed when I listen to the album a tenth or eleventh time around. Without a doubt, it is the most emotional Linkin Park album produced. Hybrid Theory was a good debut album for them where anger,angst, and a new musical energy flowed so creatively throughout it. But in their follow up album, they kept all of that and drowned it in beautiful melody. Instead of sounding like whining teenagers, the emotion came from something more and their maturity shined as a band compared to hybrid theory. Meteora spawned Don't Stay, Somewhere I Belong, Lying From You, Easier to Run, Faint, Breaking the Habit, From the Inside, Faint, Nobodys Listening, and the monster hit Numb. All songs that showcased the raw emotion of a band in their prime. I credit this album for peaking my peaking my overall interest into music and still remains the foundation of where my music taste comes from. I recommend this album to anyone and everyone. You will not be dissapointed. Expand

    A true masterpiece. Maybe even better than Hybrid Theory. There is not one bad track on the entire album. The best tracks for me are Breaking the Habit, Somewhere I Belong and Easier to Run. Hear it and enjoy it is my final advice.

    This is an amazing album! It doesn't top Hybrid Theory, but it's a great follow-up to it. If you haven't heard this yet, I don't know where you lived Pick it up! Fav tracks: Lying From You, Hit The Floor, Don't Stay, Nobody's Listening, From The Inside. Pickens approves!

His rapping style is devoid of so called 'swagger' and it talks to people and not at them. The lyrics are so relatable and meaningful and songwriters like these guys are hard to come by these days. The highlights of the album are Numb (a LP classic I might add), Breaking the Habit and Faint. Looks like I should be hanging out at Linkin Park more often! Expand

    Is there really something to say about this that isn't perfect? From the beginning, LP does it even better than Hybrid Theory. Ignore the track ''Forgotten'' at the beginning. The whole album is pure art, still, not for everyone. And yes, the album is softer than Hybrid Theory, but better than it.

    I was a bit disappointed by the first single on the radio, "Somewhere I Belong," because it sounded like it belonged on Hybrid Theory. In other words, it was nothing new. But upon listening to the whole album, I can confidently say that LP have grown musically; their Reanimation project have definitely made them more eclectic and explosive.

Chester Bennington, while not great at any one thing, is amazingly multitalented and can go from singing high notes to screaming two or maybe three at a time.

    Meteora picks up from where Hybrid Theory left off, and manages to be one of the rare albums on which every track is worth a listen. I believe that there is no problem in continuing with a previously used musical style, as long as it is good enough, and Meteora certainly is. The tracks are short and to-the-point, and the music is a stunning blend of rap and nu metal.

Even though the album is shorter then Hybrid Theory, I think it is better that way because it gives Meteora a sort of meaningful and and "work of art" vibe.

    If you liked the first one you'll like the second one. While not necessarily THE MOST talented musicans in the world, they can hold their own. If you are a musician you wont be very impressed by the simplicity of this band. However, if Frank Zappa's sheet music means nothing to you, go buy Meterioa and love it for all it's glory.

    I really dig this record! Songs are short, powerful and straight to the point. No b******t here!! Strong melodies, some classic guitar riffs, a little rap, good sub bass, I totally love it.

    Last night I was lucky enough to score VIP tickets to their show in Hollywood last night. Both the show and this cd are amazing. Theyre exploring some different styles while maintaing their sound. The sophomore slump doesnt apply here. Buy it and love it! And see the show!

    A great album that you can listen to over and over. Though the length of it is a little dissapointing it is still a solid album.

    Creative, explosive, and much better than its predecessor! Every track is good, and though the running time is rather short, there is no quality lost overall. More tracks would have been nice, but with 12 high-quality tracks, its hard to ask for much more in today's music market. Check this one out!

    I am huge Linkin Park fan. I've been listening to them since they came out. Every CD they make is awesome. This is my second favorite of all the Linkin Park CDs. My favorite is the live version. Then Meteora, then Hybrid Theory, then Reanimation. This is a great CD. I love Linkin Park, and I loved this CD. AWESOME!!!

    In my opinion, this is by far the best LP cd yet. Chester has the most amazing pipes, the way he sings blows me away. Keep up the good work guys, I'm ready for more!!!

Generally favorable reviews - based on 13 Critic Reviews

Critic score distribution:
  1. Positive: 6 out of 13
  2. Negative: 0 out of 13
  1. Through it all, the guys stay just as tight (translation: radio-ready) as ever, offering up tracks in near-perfect three-minute doses.
  2. Coming from a group whose debut offered a glimmer of hope for the expansion of the genre's boundaries, such creative laziness is all the more disappointing.
  3. While being as well-crafted, catchy and dynamic as the first one, it leaves you feeling distinctly underwhelmed, as if the band had simply reprogrammed the Pro-Tools machine that they'd made the first album on and changed the lyrics and speed of the songs a bit.
