    I'm a Linkin Park fan, but an honest fan. This is their best along with A Thousand Suns. This album is special. I love how every track flows into each other. There are no lulls in the tracklist- I don't say, hey, I'm bored when I listen to this. What makes this better than Hybrid Theory is the experimentation that is on display in tracks like Breaking The Habit, Easier To Run, and Nobody'sI'm a Linkin Park fan, but an honest fan.

Faint makes me want to have a mosh pit in my room when it gets a play on my CD player. If there are any weak tracks, it's Lying From You and Hit The Floor (songs that can cause this album to garner the reputation of Hybrid Theory 2). Oh, and this album closes with the rock classic Numb. Check it out if you haven't already, this album is still spectacular.… Expand

    I would say this is Linkin Park's best album, slightly better than the predecessor 'Hybrid Theory', which already was really good. The only song that just doesn't seem to grow on me is 'Nobody's Listening'. I know that the variety of instruments on it is very appreciated but it always cringes me with that one line of Shinoda saying "I hate my rhymes but i hate everybody elses more".

The only song that just doesn't seem to grow on me is 'Nobody's Listening'. I know that the variety of instruments on it is very appreciated but it always cringes me with that one line of Shinoda saying "I hate my rhymes but i hate everybody elses more". Over the 10 Tracks before it was so relateable, like you want people to go because you don't feel well near their presence, or you want to replace pain with something numb, like all the previous songs had some deeper lyrics, while this one is just kind of those "songs you can just vibe to" and the flute quite gets annoyingly monotone over the time too. Also the album has these sort of useless tracks like "Foreword" which could've also just been already attached to "Don't Stay" and songs like "Session" which have that vibe of "take it or leave it", which makes me feel kind of uncomfortable. But overall i think, the band took what made Hybrid Theory successful, evolved it further and two years later "Meteora" was the result. The rest of the unmentioned songs are really well done and also make Meteora one of my alltime favorite albums. Even over 18 years later, the album hits it really hard and if anybody would've put an album out today like this, i would be incredibly pleased.… Expand

    My favorite music album of all time, a timeless classic and arguably one of the most iconic albums of the genre.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wow! This album is one of my favorites of all time NO SKIPS! Let's start with the flaws its 160 $ on vinyl the sounds of the riffs and Chester's screams and mike shinoda's flows a rhymes on tracks like "Faint" and "Nobodys listening" are Insaine and the song breaking the habit in my top 5 with the story of attempts of unal8ving and at the end where chester had successfully unal8ved himself sadly and this sing sends chills down my spind because the subject matter and KNOWING how chester passed makes this one of the best of all time FAVORITE SONG: BREAKING THE HABIT
    LEAST FAVORITE SONG: SESSION RATING 10/10    … Expand

    Perfecto, hermoso y lo mejor de las últimas décadas, se puede reflejar el dolor de Chester Bennington, algo que los "críticos expertos" no les gusta por tontos y por envidiosos de esta obra de arte espléndida. GOD

    Through it all, the guys stay just as tight (translation: radio-ready) as ever, offering up tracks in near-perfect three-minute doses.

    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.

    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.
