Attached" was previously only available as a digital downloadable bonus track for LP Underground 15, so this was also the first time this track was issued in physical format. This expanded version of ‘Meteroa’ follows on from a similar reissue that came in 2020 to honour Linkin Park’s seminal debut ‘Hybrid Theory’. It’s not as synthy/programmed as hit singles like ‘ Somewhere I Belong‘ or ‘ Numb‘, nor is it action-packed like ‘ Faint‘, but, it could sit somewhere between ‘ Easier To Run‘ or ‘ From the Inside‘. One Step Closer" and parts of " Don't Stay" and "Somewhere I Belong" were previously broadcasted in 2003. The aptly-titled ‘Lost’ was recorded at the same time as ‘Meteora’ but didn’t make the final cut because the band “couldn’t find a place for it” on the record.

Meteora – Live Around the World is a live album which features live versions of seven songs from the second studio album, Meteora, similar to their prior live release, Hybrid Theory – Live Around the World. Their blend of guitar rock's pummeling riffs, hip-hop's swaggering grooves, and intricately emotional lyrics delivered by co-vocalists Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda turned them into one of the 21st century's biggest new artists. With a familiar ‘ Hit The Floor‘ beat, it’s another rap/rock combo with Mike Shinoda spitting verses alongside the band with so many elements that catch your attention – the hard rock riffs, the echoing high-pitch synth and drums that just hit right. There’s a breakdown bit near the climax, that’s jarring, yet heavy, which leads us up to what I’d say is the chorus section playing out – with an absent Bennington bringing back the realisation he’s gone; thus making this one more impactful than first imagined.An alternate Indian version contains an alternate DVD and alternative cover that is packaged in a slimline case with the disc in original packaging. In just a few short tracks, Linkin Park managed to bring us back down to earth and transport us back to a time before life as we know it now.

Released in March 2003, Meteora includes some of Linkin Park’s most enduring hits, from “Numb” to “Breaking the Habit” to “Faint” to “Somewhere I Belong” to “Lying From You”— all of which topped Billboard’s Alternative Songs chart — as well as essential fan favorites like “Nobody’s Listening” and “Easier to Run. To support the album, there were many photo shoots of the band on October 29 at the Ambassador Hotel, where the band took a break from recording the album for two days, for designing the cover art of the album. Disc 3 – Live in Nottingham 2003 (vinyl and digital; double album vinyl; vinyl exclusive to super deluxe edition) No. Footage of this show was also used by Mark Fiore on the video of "Faint" that appeared on the Live In Texas TV special. In the same interview, Shinoda explained it as: "What we really wanted to do was just push ourselves and push each other to really find new ways to be creative.

All tracks are written by Linkin Park, except where noted Disc 2 – Live in Texas (vinyl and digital; double album vinyl; vinyl exclusive to super deluxe edition) No. Being released a month before the album release, it influenced the album sales performance worldwide. When LINKIN PARK started writing the album that would become 2003's Meteora, they were touring behind their 2000 debut Hybrid Theory, a wildfire hit that took even the band by surprise.

From my original review I said – as the song progresses, it tends to get a little louder and rockier in parts, but from a fan perspective, it’s a slow-jam offering that’s high quality and sounds like it could have been released as a B-side back in 2003. The "MTV Backstage Pass: Summer Sanitarium Tailgate Party" 2003 special filmed at this show featured a short clip of " One Step Closer". Chester is so gentle in the verse that he really draws you in before your face gets melted off by the power of the chorus.

The special-edition package was packaged in a blue tinted case with the blue Meteora cover that can be found in some parts of Asia, United States, and more commonly in India.
