LINKIN PARK - Meteora

About Meteora by LINKIN PARK Album

Meteora is the second studio album by American rock band Linkin Park, released on March 25, 2003. Following the collaboration album Reanimation which featured remixes of their debut album Hybrid Theory. Linkin Park released singles from Meteora for over a year, including "Somewhere I Belong", "Faint", "Lying from You", "From the Inside", "Breaking the Habit" and "Numb". It is the most successful album in the history of the Modern Rock Tracks chart, a chart that specializes in radio play of alternative rock songs. "Numb" was the biggest song of the year on the chart. The album has sold over 5 million copies in the United States, and over 16 million worldwide to date. The album was named after the Meteora rock formation in Greece. After seeing these monasteries on a trip to Europe, the band was inspired by the way they were built, almost defying gravity. It was this feeling of greatness and awesome accomplishment that Linkin Park wished to convey with their music, thus the name. Don Gilmore co-produced the album. Linkin Park comprehensively rehearsed the album, recording more than 40 choruses for the first single "Somewhere I Belong". Like the band's first full-length Hybrid Theory, Meteora was recorded using multitrack recording methods in which each instrument is recorded individually rather than played all at once, as is done in a typical studio setting. In its first week it sold an estimated 810,000 units. To date, it has well over 4 million copies in the U.S. alone, nearly 16 million copies worldwide. The music in Meteora represents significant changes since the release of Hybrid Theory. It is characterized by more relevant influences from rap metal ("Lying from You", "Hit the Floor", "Faint", "Figure.09", "Nobody's Listening"). Their instrumental song "Session" was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance in 2003. "Nobody's Listening" featured a small sample from the band's track, "High Voltage", which appeared on the B-side of One Step Closer and the bonus disc of Hybrid Theory. The sample was a distorted version of Mike rapping, "Coming at you from every side" which comes from the chorus of High Voltage. The instrumental track "Session" was featured on the soundtrack of the 2003 movie The Matrix Reloaded and on the Season Five Sopranos episode "In Camelot".

- My favorite LP album!

My favorite Linkin Park album was released on my birthday? Wow, so amazing! This album is amazing! Numb is my favorite song by Linkin Park, a long with In The End.

- Not a complete LP like Hybrid Theory...

But still freaking epic!! You got song like faint, and Numb, which almost has one billion views on YouTube; yeah, that’s correct, ONE BILLION!!!!

- It's a pretty good album from my childhood

The follow-up to Hybrid Theory, Meteora to me has always sound hard edged early 2000s Nu Metal I grew up with when I was roughly 6 years old. Recently buying this on disc, the cuts all have the traits that made their original sound appealing at that point in time. Listening to them today, the lyrics are these very angsty moody feeling and emotions from what an adolesant would feel. The closing track Numb felt a bit too angsty resulting in a more dated sound and lyrics that don't really speak to me. I know millennials always talk about growing up with Hybrid Theory. But I personally always enjoyed the material on Meteroa. Most of the singles on here is what blew my little 6 year old mind hearing rap and metal/rock influences in the mix. Of course, now knowing today that bands such as Rage Against The Machine and Faith No More were doing the rap-rock thing ten years prior to Linkin Park, I still enjoyed revisiting some early 2000s nostalgia from the Nu Metal movement.

- Favorite

I miss them!

- I love this

Linkin Park is one of my most favorite bands of all time. This album was the first cd I ever owned and highly recommend it to everyone.

- Hybrid Theory: extra heavy edition

This album is good; I actually prefer it to Hybrid Theory. However, it’s very... derivative of their first album. “Easier to Run” is very similar to “Crawling”, and “Session” is a more serious, dramatic take on “Cure for the Itch”. Additionally, many of the songs on the record sound similar to each other (“Lying From You”, “Hit the Floor”, “Figure.09”). Now to the good. “Don’t Stay” is a great and fresh way for Linkin Park to open the album while communicating to the listener: “We added heavy sauce to these songs”. “Faint” is a fast pace flurry of pure action, and it’s totally awesome. And then there’s “Numb”. I don’t even think I need to explain that song to you. While derivative, Numb is definitely a solid album from LP. However, its lack of originality (compared to other LP albums) makes me slightly prefer The Hunting Party to it.

- Speechless

My biological father had an old deluxe copy of Meteora I found in my moms old boxes from before I moved to my new home. This was 4 years ago, and to this day Meteora is one of my favorite albums of all time. The emotion put into every song, the striking chords of the guitar, the lyrical meanings, literally every aspect of this album is just amazing. R.I.P. To Chester, condolences from Chesapeake VA. LP will forever live in my heart.

- The great beginning

- Love this album

Classic

- BEST!

One of the best albums!

- Memories

This brings back so many memories of when I was an angsty teen but I didn’t feel like a rebel listening to LP; it just conveyed how I felt. The track Nobody’s Listening was something I felt like I could relate to. Asking for help but nobody being there or able to listen. These early Linkin Park albums are very special to me. Although my music tastes have changed drastically over the years I will always have a bond with Meteora and the self titled LP albums. Fantastic music in its accessibility for what sounds like hardcore to a casual pop listener. The band did a great job taking a hardcore sound into the mainstream and striking a chord with their tight chops, relatable writing, and rap influences peppered throughout. Chester forever. RIP. Wish he was still here. I was listening Chester.

- My favorite Linkin Park album.

Meteora is one of my favorite rock albums of all time. It feels new every time I listen to it. It's a classic. It's definitely a masterpiece. Rest In Peace, Chester Bennington.

Meteora Wiki

The Meteora (; Greek: Μετέωρα, pronounced [meˈteora]) is a rock formation in the regional unit of Trikala, in Thessaly, in northwestern Greece, hosting one of the largest and most precipitously built complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries, second in importance only to Mount Athos. The six (of an original twenty-four) monasteries are built on immense natural pillars and hill-like rounded boulders that dominate the local area. Between the 13th and 14th centuries, the twenty-four monasteries were established atop the rocks. Meteora is located near the town of Kalabaka at the northwestern edge of the Plain of Thessaly near the Pineios river and Pindus Mountains.Meteora was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1988 because of the outstanding architecture and beauty of the complex, in addition to its religious and artistic significance.The name means "lofty", "elevated", and is etymologically related to meteor.
