If you're that self-loathing cur stuffed in the corner on the verge of bowling for Columbine, this album is for you. The trade-ups between singer Chester Bennington and "rapper" Mike Shinoda are still there, but by God, some people should just, like, not rap. The bone of contention for the Parkers is the ever-present girlfriend you hate, and are gonna break up with reeeeal soon, but not before ven... read more

Release date: 2003
Standing track: Somewhere I Belong
Meteora is filled with many firsts. Let's list them, shall we: Somewhere I Belong was the first LP song I'd heard and as a whole, the very first rock song. Sessions was the very first instrumental. Hit the Floor was the first I'd tried to copy the lyrics and Numb the first I'd learned the whole song. Fur... read more

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

I listened all Linkin Park's albums,
but I'm on listal.com from November 2011 and not all the records
that I heard have rating. So I decided to remind and make rating,
before their new album will be available.
This record was pretty good,
but so far I think their first album for the best."
