Linkin Park’s 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 band’s nature. It’s 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. --Matthew Cooke |

Great listen |
|
A pretty good sophomore album i would say. I wouldn't call reanimation a second album because it has the songs from the first album, but this is a good listen. |

This is why Linkin Park is one of my favorite bands... |
Linkin Park has done it again. I loved Hybrid Theory, but this is probably my favorite CD that Linkin Park has produced to date. Everything is done better. There are more tracks, more songs, and broader emotional appeal.
Obviously hits like "Somewhere I belong" and "Lying away from you" are awesome. Other songs like "Nobody's Listening" are great as well. The songs combine metal, rap, and electronica extremely well. If you are a fan of any of those genres then this CD is for you. The songs appeal to your emotions. Whether you are feeling like an outsider or feel you have mistrusted, this CD has tons of songs for you.
I will say that I hated the song "Breaking the Habit". Many people enjoy the song, but I just do not. All the other songs on this CD are great to listen to though. Pick this one up as soon as possible. |

Strikes Like a Meteor |
This album has a jillion reviews already, and the main spotlight one has the breakdown of all of the tracks, so I won't go into this in as great detail as I usually do.
Basically, this is the best album Linkin Park has put out to date. Their hybrid style of metal, techno, rap, hip-hop, and chill works best in all of these songs. Some of them are excellent, intense, hard-rocking tracks, such as "Lying From You," "Faint," "Figure 0.9" (still my favorite), and of course, "Numb." Also has a number of good, powerful ballad-type songs, like "Somwhere I Belong," "Breaking the Habit," "Easier to Run," and "From the Inside." "Session" is also an excellent techno instrumental interlude.
It's all great, and would be essential listening for any fan of heavy metal. The disc also has some nifty bonus stuff on it when you pop it into the computer (I forget what exactly, though; pictures and stuff). |

Love Linkin Park! |

Linkin Park has never put out anything I'm not happy with. This CD is just as great as their others. Love it! |

songs even more interesting than the meteora title |
|
This is a very strong cd by a group that is one of a kind. I first heard of this cd when I was stationed in California and have been listening to it ever since. In my opinion this cd expressed deep emotions and creativity that are in each of the members of the group in a very artistic and exciting way. Some of the songs that I really feel are fun and grow each listen are "somewhere I belong", "breaking the habit", "easier to run", and "lying from you". One of my coworkers who happens to be an exciting and interesting person gave me a copy of this cd that they downloaded and I am sure grateful they did. This is definitely an album that is worth your time and will grow on you each listen. |
