Advantages: Energy and it's 13 tracks Disadvantages: N/A
When I first bought Meteora I expected the album to be on level par, if not better than the best selling album of 2001 - Hybrid Theory and I wasn't wrong! Meteora is packed with explosively energising songs such as 'Don't Stay' and 'Lying From You'. 'Easier To Run' is a wonderful, sad, emotional power ballad. Tracks differ somewhat in style as is found with 'Nobodys Listening' which has a rap / oriental theme about it. 'Breaking the Habit' also has ... ...used which is what makes this song so good. Radio friendly songs such as the brilliant 'Somewhere I Belong' and 'Faint' are also hugely dominating songs. In my opinion the best song on the album is it's last track - 'Numb'. This is a beautifully brilliant and moving track that made me shed a tear.
Whether you're a Linkin Park fan or not, this is a must buy! ...

Advantages: Extra Sound and good lyrics Disadvantages: A little bit too short
This is the best album of LInkin Park. Their style remained the same: hip-hop mixed with hard rock. This is the perfect recipe for a real succes. This boys are really talented. Their work is extraordinary. "Meteora" is the album that liked to the most of the people, the album with the most number of fans.
The first single on this album was "Somewhere I Belong". Very good track. This one was the first one I listened, too, even if I heard about this ... ...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Advantages: Good to play REALLY loud! Disadvantages: None, really...
I bought this album some time last year, listened to it, then stuck it in my CD rack.
Then I took it out again tonight.
I was in need of something to play really loudly on headphones and this fitted the bill perfectly.
Don't get me wrong here - I don't go buying stuff just to forget about, it's just that I have CDs for different moods. It just so happened that I was in a foul mood when I put this on and the lyrics fitted perfectly with it. So ... ...straight on repeat! This has sort of made me decide that I really SHOULD play it more often!
I'm not touting the music as a cure for depression or anything, it's just that, lyrically speaking (and without wishing to sound too girly) it seemed to say exactly what I was feeling at the time.
OK. Cut to the chase...

Advantages: Loud, Melodic Disadvantages: Too Short
Having previously reviewed 'Hybrid Theory' and given it 5 stars (which it thoroughly deserves) I now come to 'Meteora'. As an LP fan I like this album regardless of any possible flaws some may find. My problem is that when you listen to 'Hybrid Theory' and then go straight on to 'Meteora' I begin to understand why I like 'Hybrid Theory' so much more. Whereas 'Hybrid' is an album full off fantastic loud rock songs - 'Meteora' goes more melodic on ... ...my liking. Now it seems that LP regard the rap as much as the rock which I dont believe they should. Chester's vocals really play second fiddle to Shinoda on a lot of the songs on this record but still end up sounding pretty decent. Being my favourite band, I suppose I need to say the good points. The continuation of the sound of 'Hybrid Theory' is extremely welcome as the rap/rock genre is a great concept that for me, Linkin Park do better then ...

Advantages: Amazing Disadvantages: Makes A Linkin Park obsession inevitable
Linkin Park's second album (not including the remix album, Reanimation) is greatly reminiscent to the first (Hybrid Theory). In fact, scratch that 'greatly reminiscent to the first', Great will do. The vocals of Chester Bennington and scratch-scratch mixing command a certain respect from all Metal fans, and I will seize the opportunity to say that this is a safe bet if you are looking for a genuine, fresh metal album.
Although the style of 'Hybrid ... ...fresh ideas and originality prevent it from becoming too repetitive. It makes it great, in fact.
If you are a fan of Linkin Park, or, indeed, any Nu Metal bands, I can guarantee you will love this.
It is Linkin Park, after all. You can't really put a foot wrong... ...

Meteora is a brilliant come back album from the masters of music - Linkin Park. The structure of Meteroa is much more musically advanced and more fluent. Although it contains less rap and more of the screaming there are still the amazing signature powerful guitar riffs found in Hybrid Theory.
I myslef am I big fan of Linkin Park and loved their Hybrid Theory album and believe that nothing caqn truely match up to a bands frist album, but Meteroa ...

Advantages: It's a different Linkin Park. Disadvantages: None
...then you have to buy meteora and make up your own mind, but it comes highly recommended.
I can’t find a track I dislike & the whole album gets constant play from start to finish.
It’s a slightly different sound to hybrid theory & varies across the whole album, so there is a little for everyone.
There is a also a DVD & PC feature with the bonus version.
Do yourself a favour & buy it.
Will it live as long as Hybrid, lets wait & see, ...

Advantages: better than 1st album Disadvantages: too short
What a band, what a album this album is a lot better than the first. It sounds a lot more raw and more tuned so that the music, vocals, and overall sound is a lot better. There isnt one bad song on this album its not very often you can say that about any album. the only downside of this CD is that it is very short clocking in at just over half an hour but its that good you just start it again from somewhere I belong to the sublime Numb Chester bennington ...

Advantages: the music is enjoyable to those who like it Disadvantages: not suitable for people if they don't like this type of music
I would say that from the three albums linkin park have brought out this is the best that is because the music is alot better and has alot more meaning behind the songs!
The cover for this album is well designed and attractive. The songs have got incrediably better this is because chester's voice has matured through the years and he is an absolute fab singer!
The album is great and i would recommend it to anyone. Also this album isn't that bad ...
