Linkin Park's "Meteora" (for Recording Fundamentals)

Kevin O’Brien

11/18/12

My favorite album of which I choose to express is Meteora by nu-metal group, Linkin Park. As a musician, songwriter, and overall someone with an interest in music, this album has left the most impact on me. The album’s dark and edgy sound has filled me with excitement and amusement every time I played it.

This album is the follow-up to their debut, Hybrid Theory. Meteora follows the nu-metal essence (crossing of hip-hop with metal) of the band. The production on this album feels darker than its predecessor because every instrument and every effect is solidly updated – allowing every instrumental detail to be heard. It released in 2003 and produced by Don Gilmore, who also produced for The Apex Theory, Dashboard Confessional, and Good Charlotte.

It was the last album before Linkin Park made an experimental shift in their musical direction in 2007 with the release of Minutes to Midnight, which was said to be the least-favored album amongst fans for forging a new identity.

The first songs I listened from Meteora were the singles, “Somewhere I Belong”, “Faint”, and “Numb”. I never listened to the full album until 2008, a year after Minutes to Midnight came out. When I played the CD one Tuesday morning, I was left in a mesmerizing trance. Since then, I learned every lyric, and learned every part on guitar and drums. Every track was catchy, flawless, and compelling. Meteora has its loud distorted songs such as, “Don’t Stay”, and “Lying From You”, and soft peaks; “Easier to Run”, and “Breaking The Habit”. This album even has tracks that leave me in awe. “Nobody’s Listening” is a hip-hop track that features a shakuhachi flute, and “Session” is an electronic-and-turntable instrumental that feels hypnotic.
