Through it all, the guys stay just as tight (translation: radio-ready) as ever, offering up tracks in near-perfect three-minute doses.
-
A thunderously hooky album that seamlessly blends the group's disparate sonic elements into radio-friendly perfection.
-
Isn't so much a revelation as it is a ready-made crowd pleaser that delivers on the familiar.
-
Miraculously, given the similarity of the design, 'Meteora' avoids being a stagnant retread of 'Hybrid Theory'.
-
While being as well-crafted, catchy and dynamic as the first one, it leaves you feeling distinctly underwhelmed, as if the band had simply reprogrammed the Pro-Tools machine that they'd made the first album on and changed the lyrics and speed of the songs a bit.
-
The band manages to squeeze the last remaining life out of this nearly extinct formula with volatile performances and meticulous editing.
