About
The album was named after The Meteora which are monasteries that the band saw in their trip to Europe. The band was inspired the way the meteoras was built, almost defying gravity. It was this feeling that Linkin Park wished to convey their music in the album, thus the name.
The album released many chart-topping singles. Their carrier single Somewhere I Belong topped the charts. Followed by Faint, Numb, Breaking the Habit and Lying from You.
