Amazon.co.uk Review: Meteora, 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 sleeve 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, however, 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 are what Trent Reznor was always afraid of becoming, but if you ever wished he would drop the pretences and just make a hair-metal record, you'll find Meteora to your liking. --Matthew Cooke

Rating: - I actually really enjoyed this album if I rememberd correctly! !
A few years ago I remember buying this and thinking it was a really good album and it is a very good album, it has great lyrics, good riffs, and great songs and that's all you need. My favourite songs are "Somewhere I Belong", "Faint", "Figure .09", "Breaking The Habit" & Numb". I don't mind what genre they are in they are a good band (if you forget about there new album), they are much better then Korn & Limp Bizkit and have much more talent, but still it was obviously never gonna be as ...

Rating: - Worth 5 stars for "numb"
I hadn't heard of Linkin park until I heard "minutes to midnight" which I thought was an excellent and diverse album; however I got this last weekend and since then have had it blaring in my car constantly. As some of the other reviewers have said, it's really rock, with rap and metal elements, but just very very well done.
"from the inside" and "breaking the habit" are excellent tracks, but the highlight is "Numb", very in the same mould as "What I've done" from the later album, but ... Read More
Rating: - Genius!
It takes a certain kind of skill to produce what Linkin Park have done, mixing elements from Rap and Hard Rock Music to create their own unique blend, With Meteora that was no Exception.
However, Unlike Hybrid Theory, Linkin Park have Matured Both Artistically and Musically to create something New and Vibrant with Memorable Chrouses and Powerful Lyrics with tracks like 'From the Inside', 'Numb' and 'Faint'.
This could quite Possibly Be Linkin Park's Best Album to Date.

Rating: - Classic album
This is a great follow up album from their last album Hybrid Theory as it features a classic song (Breaking The Habit) which was my fav song when released and still is my fav song from Linkin Park to this day. Theres a mix of slower songs on this album too which make the album even more exicting tp listen to as Chesters vocals are clearer and sound fantastic.
Rating: - If you are undecided....
I had only heard a couple of their tracks before buying their first album, then swiftly bought this their second and have pre-ordered their third all in the space of a month! Of the two albums I only neglected to rip 2 of their tracks onto my pmp, great for a gig but too thrashy for me to listen to, not exactly a problem.
If you have heard and liked one of their tracks then I guaranty the album will not disappoint, quite the contrary!
Fantastic music, carefully constructed lyrics and great ... Read More
