"Session" was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance.

In one of the most highly anticipated follow-ups of recent years, Linkin Park maintains its position at the top of the nu-metal heap with METEORA. The band labored carefully over their craft; for instance, the writing process of leadoff single "Somewhere I Belong" spawned 30 finished choruses before vocalists Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington arrived at the version found on the album. The combination of Shinoda's raps and Bennington's sing/scream vocals makes for an altogether complementary approach, best evidenced in "Faint" and "Easier To Run."

The pressure felt by Linkin Park to meet a high standard with their sophomore release even finds it's way into the lyrics of "Nobody's Listening," where self-doubt and fear are almost all-consuming. Producer Don Gilmore (Apex Theory, Blind Tribe) mans the boards with a decisive lean towards acoustic drums. That is not to say by any means that Linkin Park's inventive use of samples and turntables is any less present or crucial to the group's now-signature sound.

2003 follow-up to the eight-times-platinum in the US debut, Hybrid Theory, promises to be one of the biggest albums of the year. Enhanced CD packaged in a digipak. WB.

Entertainment Weekly (3/28/03, pp.65-66) - "...Music that's by turns pretty, bludgeoning, and rhythmic....A thunderously hooky album that seamlessly blends the group's disparate elements into radio-friendly perfection..." - Rating: B+

2 stars not for metal fans
if you like pop/rock pick this up. if you dont stay away from it. i think this cd sucks hybrid theory was average at least it had a couple sounds that could be classified as rock. breaking the habit and lying from you arnt any better then most of the pop ballads out there today. faint is the song on this cd worth writing about. dont by it. brandon knows what hes talking about.

5 stars Meteora by Linkin Park
After the very powerful release of, "Hybrid Theory", Linkin Park gives us a little doo-hickey known as, "Meteora", now which one would win, "Hybrid Theory," or, "Meteora,"? It would be a tie, my people (The way I like it, ZIP IT!) "Meteora," will offer a different side of anger with songs like, "Lying from You", "From the Inside" and, "Don't Stay" 2 Intrumentals are included ("Foreword" and "Session") and Chester is just as angry. Fans will NOT be disappointed. I like, "Meteora" so ZIP IT! 5/5!
