E SYSTEM OF A DOWN, korn, Slipknot, Linkin Park (saw a linkin park.Presenting the hardest-working men in showbiz: Linkin Park? It ain’t easy making green, and the band wants us to know that following up the best-selling debut of the new millennium is no simple feat. All worst music ever lists are a lie, and worst cover versions ever lists. Originally consisting of three high school friends, Xeros foundation was anchored by Mike Shinoda and Mark Wakefield, who were joined later by Brad Delson, Rob Bourdon, Joe Hahn, and Dave 'Phoenix' Farrell.Though limited in resources, the band began recording and producing songs within Shinoda. Xero was the name of Linkin Park, before they were Hybrid Theory. The cover for the Xero Demo Tape.

As someone blurts during a seventeen-minute documentary on the making of Meteora‘s artwork — not to be confused with the thirty-three-minute documentary on the making of Meteora‘s music that comes in the album’s special-edition bonus DVD — “The art is the making of the art.”To inquire about performing at the Sunday Jazz Brunch, please contact Debbie Bylica at dbylicafortlauderdale.gov.
There’s hardly a moment in the album’s tightly compacted thirty-six-and-a-half minutes that doesn’t sound assiduously rehearsed, sampled and Pro Tools tweaked. Yet the band manages to squeeze the last remaining life out of this nearly extinct formula with volatile performances and meticulous editing. “The very worst part of you is me,” Chester Bennington admits in “Lying From You.” “Giving up a part of me/I’ve let myself become you,” he laments during “Figure.09.” “All I want to do is become more like me and less like you,” the singer concludes on “Numb.”Much of Meteora adheres to the overly familiar rap-rock template Linkin Park fit themselves into for Hybrid Theory. The common denominator between the band and its antecedents is psychology: Whereas, say, Pink Floyd grappled with insanity, LP dramatize the conflicts of father and son, man and woman, or friend and friend — all from the vantage point of a young guy struggling for harmony with or separation from an unnamed “you.”Meteora celebrates the hard-won clarity that comes when getting within screaming distance of one’s demons.
Much of the album is just excellent craft on “Breaking the Habit,” Linkin Park make some risky, beautiful art. This suits Linkin Park’s futurist vibe and lives up to the promise of Meteora‘s lavish packaging. Although the song’s anguished grandeur is rooted in the band’s New Wave influences, the result bears little resemblance to the past or present. As Bennington croons, the band swirls twice as fast around him while strings swell and drums bolt. On “Breaking the Habit,” guitarist Brad Delson sticks the metal riffs in temporary storage.
