Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: awsome Comment: This album was hot again from linkin park, they did a great job on this album i liked all their albums exept minutes to midnight but this was hot this was a real hard rock album with great emotional effort to it to great album. Customer Rating: Summary: Linkin's best album! Comment: Hybrid Theory was not a bad album by any means, but this album is somehow even better! These guys put rap, rock, and metal togther to make some awesome music! This one is a little better than Hybrid Theory, but way better than Minutes to Midnight. Customer Rating: Summary: By far the best album Comment: The best production of an album that I have ever heard in a long time. Great album to rock to in a car. Customer Rating: Summary: Faking the Hobbit Comment: I really like how its Linkin Park instead of Lincoln Park. That "k" trick is so gangsta, cleva, ya knows. Just kidding, these guys are so greeeaaaaattt!!!! I'm "Breaking the Habit" TONIGHT!!!!!! TONIGHT!!!!!! Awe shucks, do ya got too much money and ya'lls don't know what to do with it, so you got hooked on the HABIT, TONIGHT!!!!!! And now Linkin Park is gonna Break the Habit, TONIGHT!!!!! No, not tommorrow, not today, not next week, but TONIGHT!!!!!! I always liked the first lord of the rings the best, cause they had the Hobbit voices down perfect! And when Linkin Park sings "TONIGHT" it reminds me of Bilbo Baggins saying to Froto, "You must go Froto, TONIGHT" !!! Oh yeah, that urgency in Bilbo Bagginses voice, "Go now Froto, and break the hobbit, TONIGHT!!!!! I think that LInkin Park may have stolen that song from West Side Story. It's creepily similar to the song "TONIGHT" where the nice white boy gang sings "Tonight, tonight, Won't be just any night". Maybe West Side Story is breaking the habit, TONIGHT!!!! Also I think they stole that song from David Letterman, when he says TONIGHT!!!! we have the band NIRVANA in the house!!!! And everyone cheers because NIRVANA was great. They had balls. Linkin Park has a bad habbit of playing boring repetetive music, and they need to break that habbit, TONIGHT!!!!!!!TONIGHT!!!!!!!TONIGHT!!!!!!!TONIGHT!!!!!!! Customer Rating: Summary: A continuation of the debut Comment: Four stars for this album that continues the Linkin Park story in much the same vein as the debut. An interesting mixture of traditional post grunge hard rock married to the use of two vocalists of very different styles - one more traditional and the other more an abrasive screamer. The hard rock aspect isn't anything too special truth to be told, most of the late 90's and 00's hard rock contains this style of chugga chugga riffing to create the soft dynamic of the verse as opposed to the fuller wall of sound for the chorus. The melody is mainly supplied by the vocals and the musical variation of this band, two vocalists aside, are the scratches as per what rap DJ's started doing back in the 80's. Believe me, I was there and it wasn't pretty! But with Linkin Park this side to their sound is actually interesting because they are doing it within the hard rock/heavy metal universe where such touches are rare. And it has to be said that the scratching does give the band an industrial edge particularly when Mr Screaming Vocalist cuts loose with his sandpaper screech. As to specific tunes that I feel are indicative of this album that would have to include Lying From You and Breaking The Habit - the latter very much having the longing introspective feel of some of the highlights of the debut such as With You and In The End. And it's this introspection that gives the album the legs to get into four star territory. Sure, it's very much a product of 90's era misery guts music but it does give Linkin Park a greater pallete with which to work. What also gives this a healthy four stars is the enhanced CD section of which the main aspect is a feature called The Art of Meteora. Which is interesting even for someone such as myself who finds the acceptance of spraypaint designs as art a bit dubious. At least it shows the band at play, so to speak, rather than trying to convince us all what serious artistic genius types they are. The other special features are just web toolkit kind of stuff which probably you'll only use once - I mean how often are we all gonna visit the Linkin Park website... A good album, not excellent but it certainly proved that their somewhat different formuala could work for more than just one album and the healty sales figures proved that there was a market for it too. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: 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
