Meteora was released on the 25/3/2003 which makes today it's fifth anniversary!
Happy Anniversary! :D
Not perhaps as big a date to remember as Hybrid Theory's release, aka 'Linkin Park Day', but it's still a significant mile stone I think. Meteora has sold roughly 5.5 million copies in the U.S. and over 11 million worldwide to date and was the best selling rock album of 2003. [link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteora_%28album%29)]
((I know I'm a little early for some parts of the world, but it's the 25th in NZ in any case))

Well, it's not the aniversery in the U.S. yet. We have to wait about, at the time I'm posting this, 4hrs and 30min for Central Standard Time. But there's nothing like a celebration for a celebration *opens up a tequila bottle*.
Oh, crap I forgot lol. Meteora brings back a lot of memories when I remembered most of the songs I liked from LP was from Meteora.

I became a fan the moment I bought Meteora on it's release date (and Hybrid Theory & Reanimation on the same day, hehe), so this is very special for me as well.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY METEORA!

Happy birthday Meteora!!!
By the way, why don't we call Meteora "Metie" or something? I mean, Hybrid theory is "HT" and Minutes to Midnight is "MTM" and Meteora is just "Meteora". It's a bit unfair, don't you think? Yes, I know it's stupid and all, but I'm just saying...

It's not unfair. Meteora is the best of all 3 so it deserves to be called by it's full name!!!

I guess so, but still...
Not easy enough to spell when you have homework to do. But like I said, I was just suggesting.

haha, true true,
but the way I see it is taking in account of what Mike said about the title: That it was supposed to sound "epic" and that was my mindset for the name Meteora.
The title does sound more epical than Hybrid Theory or MTM, so to me, it doesn't feel right to give it a nickname, you know?

Ahh...Meteora. How I love thee. Okay, honestly, I like Hybrid Theory better overall, although some songs on Meteora (Breaking the Habit and Numb come to mind) blow anything that Hybrid Theory has outta the water. I still remember the day I got it. I was a Junior in high school, and I got it right after school and track practice. Before I even took a shower, I locked myself in my room, popped the CD into the player, and jammed while reading along with the lyrics.
To be honest, not very much compares to that thrill of listening to your favorite band's new CD for the first time. I felt the same way about Minutes to Midnight, and I feel the same way everytime a new Metal Gear Solid game comes out (I'm a huge MGS fan).
So happy anniversary, Meteora! And Minutes to Midnight, your anniversary is quickly approaching!
