    I've been a long time fan of LP and I believe this CD is a perfect follow up of "Hybrid Theory" it certainly surpassed my expectations. I LOVED it the first time I bought it and just keep loving it more no matter what some critics say it's one of the best 15 some dollars I've spent. All I can say is that it's AWESOME musically and is unbelievable through it's art I've been a long time fan of LP and I believe this CD is a perfect follow up of "Hybrid Theory" it certainly surpassed my expectations.

    Quit complaining about LP sounding the same. AC/DC sounds the same on most records but nobody says anything about it..

    I was a bit disappointed by the first single on the radio, "Somewhere I Belong," because it sounded like it belonged on Hybrid Theory. In other words, it was nothing new. But upon listening to the whole album, I can confidently say that LP have grown musically; their Reanimation project have definitely made them more eclectic and explosive.

    This CD is totally awesome! I think that it is better than their last one! It has so many cool songs that I love! "From the Inside" and "Easier to Run" are my top favorites. "Somewhere I Belong gets a little old if you listen to it a lot. But this CD desreves a 10. I listen to it all of the time, like RIGHT NOW!

    Meteora is by far the best album I ever heard in my life. Hearing it for the first time, my reaction was slightly disappointed. But after actually listening to it the second time, I loved it. Meteora is alot more inspirational, ambitous, and important then Hybrid Theory. Don't get me wrong, I love the first album with its great lyrics, melodies, and intensity.

Don't get me wrong, I love the first album with its great lyrics, melodies, and intensity. I think Meteora has more of a meaning with its more incredible lyrics and better instrumentation. Even though the album is shorter then Hybrid Theory, I think it is better that way because it gives Meteora a sort of meaningful and and "work of art" vibe. Linkin Park new what they were doing with this record and did a fantastic job at it. If your down with the LP I strongly recommend you buy this album, you won't regret it. I guarantee you! … Expand

    Linkin Park rules!! Anyone who disagrees, don't know anything about music. This is just one of those records that you're like "wow, this is great stuff!" LP Rules forever!

    Fantastic album! It's maybe not as heavy as their first album, and more electronical. I especially like Lying From You and Figure.09. The art in the booklet is cool but the cover is not that beautiful. Still this album gets 10 points by me.

    an incredible blend of rap,rock and pure emotion that only bands such as "the cure" has achieved,while absolutely destroying the new album... I truly think this is the third best album ever, coming after the joshua tree and led zeppelin iv...

    Last night I was lucky enough to score VIP tickets to their show in Hollywood last night. Both the show and this cd are amazing. Theyre exploring some different styles while maintaing their sound. The sophomore slump doesnt apply here. Buy it and love it! And see the show!

    Through it all, the guys stay just as tight (translation: radio-ready) as ever, offering up tracks in near-perfect three-minute doses.

    Coming from a group whose debut offered a glimmer of hope for the expansion of the genre's boundaries, such creative laziness is all the more disappointing.

    While being as well-crafted, catchy and dynamic as the first one, it leaves you feeling distinctly underwhelmed, as if the band had simply reprogrammed the Pro-Tools machine that they'd made the first album on and changed the lyrics and speed of the songs a bit.
