While it was debut album Hybrid Theory that first put Linkin Park on the map as one of nu-metals most melody-charged and chart-topping standouts, its sophomore LP Meteora that fully cemented the groups legacy. The 2003 follow-up honed in on what Linkin did best, whether coagulating Mike Shinodas boisterous raps with the howled-out sensitivity of co-vocalist Chester Bennington, or by bristling distortion-blasted guitar hooks against sci-fi turntablism and wrecking ball beats. The overall impact and enduring appeal of the multi-million seller mightve best been summed up by Bennington on Faint: I wont be ignored.
