Product Description
This enhanced CD is the hotly anticipated follow-up to Kinkin Park's phenomenal eight-times-platinum (domestic) debut album.
Genre: Popular Music
Media Format: Compact Disk
Rating:
Release Date: 25-MAR-2003

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

 Second Verse, Same as the First November 19, 2009
Destined to Conquer
In 2003, I bought this around the time it came out. I was still in 8th grade and didn't know music outside of the [radio] box at the time. Ironically, I bought this along with Rage Against the Machine at the same time, and after so many years, only one of these albums is still in my CD collection. Take a guess.
Upon first listen, I liked this. Not as much as Hybrid Theory, but it was cool to hear new LP. Then, time came along, and with multiple singles getting radio treatment, this got old really quick, up to the point that my precious allowance money should have bought me something that lasts for longer than two spins.
What is exactly wrong with this album? It's simple: this is just Hybrid Theory with a few minor tweaks. I could literally distinguish parallels between certain tracks. For example, "Don't Stay" is just "One Step Closer" but with more contrived anger. Then there's "Numb", which closes off the album the same way that "Pushing Me Away" did previously. I could go on with this, but let's be honest with the fact that Linkin Park have no imagination when it comes to their songwriting most of the time. Minus the instrumental "Session", you're given the same thing throughout, and when it's just beating the dead horse of Hybrid Theory, it's not very pleasant.
"Meteora" is nothing but a soulless rehash of the band's previous formula, which wasn't that good in the first place. It's completely unimaginative and does nothing, and unless Hybrid Theory is one of your favorites, don't even bother with this empty shell.
Score: 2/10
