Meteora sounds similar to Hybrid Theory because it's the same band... Hail the Thief sounds similar to Amnesiac. So what?

I've got to say, this is not a great album, not musically, not lyrically, not innovative, you can say it all sounds the same, but at the end what does it matter. I was 12 years old when this album came out, I couldnt stop listening to it, it was simply the best for me back then. Honestly Linkin Park sucks, they are terrible, but back in the day, they were the soundtrack of my life. 11 yrs after I still know every lyric, and its amazing from beginning to end.

I'm one of those people who much prefers Meteora over Hybrid Theory. Hybrid Theory is a great album, but it has a few skippable tracks for me especially in the second half. Every track on this album however is at least good if not great. The album took all the best elements from Hybrid Theory and packaged it into a great less-than-40-minute album. "Don't Stay" is an awesome opener. "Somewhere I Belong" has a great chorus. "Lying From You" is one of their heaviest songs and I love Chester's screams. "Hit the Floor" has some heavy guitar work on it. "Easier to Run" is a pretty decent song, but nowhere near my favourite. "Faint" is more akin to standard hard rock/rap rock than nu metal, but I love the song. "Figure.09" is my least favourite song on the album, but it's still a solid track.

"Breaking the Habit" is a goddamn masterpiece. My favourite Linkin Park song and one of my all-time favourite songs. The lyrics paint a beautiful picture on the struggles of depression and addiction, and Chester gives his best vocal performance on this song. "From the Inside" is a good track though I'm surprised they chose this as a single. "Nobody's Listening" is a fun hip-hip flavoured song, which is a reprieve from all the angst. "Session" is another great showcase for Mr. Hahn and a good sequel to "A Cure for the Itch" from their debut. And while I wouldn't have ended the album with this song, "Numb" is a classic song for a reason. (Edited)

It's fine. Repetitive, yes, and not enduring, but it's certainly not a bad album. I think it's an improvement to Hybrid Thoery, better defining their sound. "Breaking the Habit" is my favorite.

They used One Formula for Many of songs and still keep their attraction with scrupulous editing.
