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.
Positive messages:Almost every track describes conflict, distrust, or a pessimistic search for independence.
Violence:Any violent acts described are in the nature of assaults against truth.
As usual "Linkin Park" the best nu-metal band ever formed.
The superbly composed lyrics with an awesome musical presentation and a dark formation of conflicting words that will pour themselves right in through your senses.
Linkin Park doesn't take the stereo-typical "rockstar persona" and set good examples... lyrical content is that of struggles every adolescent goes through...
Ok I loved this album when I was little! And I'm Christian. This is n amazing album. When I was little, I just didn't pick up a pessimistic message. Now I see what you mean. But enjoy the wonderful music.
Amazing Band, Amazing Album, perfectly appropriate! :P
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.
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"
This is one of the best albums ever. I don't know why they rated it 13+ though. Music can't be art without emotion. The emotions they tend to use are anger and sadness, but that doesn't mean it's innapropriate for younger kids. They feel anger and need for individuality too. And anger and sadness are real emotions, not like that fake love stuff.
My brother loves this stuff and he's a kid. And there's no language or sex or even direct violence, so I don't see how it's possible for them to rate this 13+. Ridiculous.
Oh, and I'm a teenager not a parent.
i like linkin parks music. i hate how people say they like like linkin park when all theyve heard is what ive done. i owb collision course, meterora, minute to midnight, hybrid theory, and road to revolution
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
I remember that in school we were once asked to bring in "appropriate popular music." If you ask me, this is pretty hard to find. A lot of today's music is inappropriate. And with those that ARE appropriate, the music isn't very original.Not Linkin Park's Meteora. This album is truly amazing, and it has nothing about sex, violence, not even mild language, nothing about drugs. Except the lyrics, which are about confusion, frustration, etc. ...which some people may not like, but this album is amazing, lyrically, musically...everything. And I think a lot of people could relate. It's not as..."loud" and heavy as their first album, Hybrid Theory, but it is still awesome (not all of us like too much screaming anyway). Unlike many other albums, this one doesn't have 2-3 or 4 songs which are good and the others were made just so an album could be released. All of the songs in this album are awesome. The sounds aren't something you hear in every other rock album. This album is really worth it!
First of all, this album is clean and has no objectionable lyrics, unfortunately it's a really terrible album. The lead singer should SING, and not yell like his does in "Meteora". Is it rock or rap? Either way I don't like it
