Linkin Park is my favorite band, and this album is definitely one of their best. Amazing Nu-Metal, combined with, conflicting, yet non-explicit in anyway, lyrics. I would recommend this to parents of pretty much all ages.

What Parents Need to Know
About Meteora
Parents need to know that the album from Southern California rockers Linkin Park contains messages of conflict, distrust, and independence. The subjects -- although fairly heavy -- are presented without using any objectionable sexual or violent content, or foul language, and it fine for teens to listen to.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the process of making an album. The song "Breaking the Habit" took six years to create. Was it obvious from the finished product? What do you think of bands that put out albums every year? Every 10 years? Can you put a time limit on creativity?

Awsome band
I love Linkin Park. And I think that younger kids would like it because they have good beats and no cuss words. Some of the meanings are about real world problems. For really young kids I would advice parents to listen to songs and see what they think

- Good role models
Meteora was really one of the best Linkin Park albums ever simply because it has some of the best Linkin Park songs made. It is a must have for all nu-Metal fans and Alternative Rock fans alike. Recommended Songs: "Numb", "Breaking the Habit", "Somewhere I Belong", and "Faint"

- Excessive violence
sad...
This is a sad, depressing album. Some keywords are "hatred", "lies", "evil", "suicide", "death", "depression"...etc. Don't waste your money. The only good songs are "Somewhere I Belong" and "Numb"
