THE REVIEW
Hello, as my first review I chose my first album, namely "Meteora" by Linkin Park, and I have to admit that it is truly a great album.
The first track Foreword is a 13-second intro, but the second: Don't Stay marks the beginning of the album with its strong rap-metal that lasts for 9 tracks until the interruption of Nobody Listening. The third track is Somewhere I Belong, harder than the previous one, perhaps the best of the whole CD, followed by Lying From You where Chester Bennington's voice becomes sharp and more aggressive. Hit the Floor, more than beautiful, is repetitive, another beautiful song is Easier to Run, less hard than the others. To be honest, Faint is also very nice where Mike Shinoda makes his voice run like a train. Hearing Figure.09 makes me understand that they had to work hard to create such a masterpiece of 3:17 minutes of pure metal.
By Breaking the Habit, the band has already given their all. By the tenth song, they still have the strength to sing two more successes: Numb and From the Inside. The last two tracks we haven't talked about are not as good as the other 11.
For all lovers of modern metal.

"It’s always the same: they start slow with little keyboards and calm sounds. Then the break with 25 overdubbed distorted guitars that make the building shake."
"Definitely the best track on the album." (referring to 'Don’t Stay')
By Devin Davis
The voices of the two singers (Bennington and Mike Shinoda) blend excellently and the electronic elements are used superbly.
The major flaw is that in some songs, Chester Bennington, instead of shouting at full throttle, gets lost trying to sound like a pop singer.
