Linkin Park: Every Album Ranked From Worst To Best

By Jack Pooley / May 19, 2017

2. Meteora (2003)

Best Tracks: Faint, Breaking the Habit, Numb

Worst Track: Nobody's Listening

The band's sophomore effort is basically Hybrid Theory Redux, and that's pretty much exactly what fans wanted, even though critics weren't quite so warm to it upon release.

A number of Linkin Park's signature tunes come from this album, there's barely any filler, and even the ambient instrumental track (Session) is terrific. Sure, it could've been more ambitious, but looking back at their discography to date, sometimes there's nothing wrong with a group knowing their strengths and sticking to them.

If there's any "game changer" on this album, though, it's surely Breaking the Habit, which proved they could still channel passion and aggression through a "softer" sound.
