Whats “Meteora” like, for those who haven picked it up?
“Meteora” was an opportunity to push what we started in “Hybrid Theory.” (It was a chance) to really explore what we could do musically now that we’ve been introduced and we had won over some fans. Not to get into total musician talk, but we wanted to work with different time signatures and different keys and really challenge ourselves to create a second album that we were all excited about and that we can see ourselves touring on for the next two years. Out of all the names, why “Meteora”? When we were still on the “Hybrid Theory” tour, we saw this travel magazine that showed pictures of Meteora, this place in Greece with a series of rock formations and monasteries perched on top. It almost looks like it’s out of a movie or something. As we continued working on the album, the thought of that name, of that place, kinda stuck with us. When time came to name (the album), we decided (“Meteora”) was a good depiction of what we wanted to do on the album — create something a little bit time
