Hybrid Theory

2000

13 Sources have reviewed this album

9/10

E! Online

Source

Through it all, the guys stay just as tight (translation: radio-ready) as ever, offering up tracks in near-perfect three-minute doses.

8.5/10

Entertainment Weekly

Source

A thunderously hooky album that seamlessly blends the group's disparate sonic elements into radio-friendly perfection.

8/10

Dot Music

Source

Miraculously, given the similarity of the design, 'Meteora' avoids being a stagnant retread of 'Hybrid Theory'.

8/10

Billboard

Source

Isn't so much a revelation as it is a ready-made crowd pleaser that delivers on the familiar.

7/10

Rolling Stone

Source

The band manages to squeeze the last remaining life out of this nearly extinct formula with volatile performances and meticulous editing.

7/10

New Musical Express

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

Q Magazine

Meteora is less an artistic endeavour than an exercise in target marketing. [May 2003, p.104]

6/10

All Music Guide

Source

The similarity of Meteroa to Hybrid Theory does not only raise the question of where do they go from here, but whether there is a place for them to go at all.

6/10

Blender

Harder, denser, uglier. [#15, p.128]

5/10

ShakingThrough.net

Source

Coming from a group whose debut offered a glimmer of hope for the expansion of the genre's boundaries, such creative laziness is all the more disappointing.

4/10

Uncut

Source

Sadly, nothing on Meteora comes close to the piano-laced pathos of previous hit "In The End." [Jun 2003, p.110]

4/10

Playlouder

Source

Many of the choruses are great, but by about track eight you begin to realise this isn't about songs, this is about mathematics, and if you've actually paid for the album with your own money, you've been well and truly had.

4/10

The Onion (A.V. Club)

Mercifully brief but mercilessly repetitive, Meteora is little more than a tolerable rehash of a formula that's been on the wrong side of its sell-by date for some time now.

It bit flaws that were shown when they first started, yet it was captured and that's why Meteora and Minutes to Midnight are way better than this album, but album is still pretty good, just not as good as the other two.
