Meteora (Music) | comment |
Meteora is the second studio album by Linkin Park, released on March 25, 2003. The album continued the nu metal style established by their wildly successful debut Hybrid Theory, but also saw the exploration of other genres, most notably a blend of electronic music and alternative rock that they would explore later on in their career.The album was a monster hit, producing five singles: "Somewhere I Belong", "Faint", "Breaking the Habit", "From the Inside", and "Numb". It is tied with Red Hot Chili Peppers' Californication for the most weeks an album's singles have peaked at #1 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks. Critics praised the more melodic aspects of the songs and noted that the band straddled the Lighter and Softer themes with their characteristic angst very well.However, it still wasn't quite the massive success that Hybrid Theory was, likely due to nu metal falling out of style. As a result, this would be their last album to feature nu metal, with its follow-up Minutes to Midnight going more for a U2-esque, arena-ready sound, while A Thousand Suns and Living Things continued their experimentation with electronics. They wouldn't fully return to their metal sound until The Hunting Party, 11 years later.Nonetheless, Meteora is widely considered a classic by Linkin Park fans who view it as a worthy successor to Hybrid Theory. Since its release, it has sold over 7 million copies in the United States, giving it a 7x platinum certification, and it has sold over 27 million copies worldwide.Doesn't have anything to do with a half-human-half-monster and rightful Princess of Mewni. | |

Genre Roulette | |
Meteora (Music) / int_4b1ca7d2 | comment |
Genre Roulette: While mostly nu-metal mixed with rap and rock, the album features three different songs that stand out from the rest: "Breaking the Habit", an electronic rock song with no nu metal influences, "Nobody's Listening", a hip-hop based track that combines rap with doom metal and a Japanese flute, and "Session", a trip hop instrumental. | |

Back to Front: The video for "Breaking the Habit" is largely told in reverse, beginning with the sad culmination of each character's fate, before reversing time and showing how each character got there. It ends with The Reveal that the dead guy who jumped off the building is in fact Chester, and it shows his impulse to have committed suicide at numerous times in his life. | |

Drugs Are Bad: "Breaking the Habit" is about overcoming personal addiction. Interesting to note, while it may seem like a confession relating to Chester's Dark and Troubled Past, it was actually written entirely by Shinoda about the addiction of a close friend with no input from Chester, who broke down when he read Shinoda's lyrics. | |

Fading into the Next Song: The entire album is entirely gapless, save for the lack of segue between "Session" and "Numb", with most transitions either being almost split-second or very conspicuous. The most notable transitions are: "Foreword" to "Don't Stay" to "Somewhere I Belong" "Easier to Run" to "Faint" "Figure.09" to "Breaking the Habit" to "From the Inside" | |
