Nikolay Ovchinnikov - about the main plate of zero

Meteor - picturesque cliffs in Greece, on which there is a complex of Christian mountain monasteries. Believers make pilgrimages there to find themselves. The Linkin Park named after these temples album “Meteora” of the California group tells about the same thing: as a person who is weak and defenseless from birth, to find himself and inner peace.

By the time Meteora released in March 2003, Linkin Park had already been a popular rock band. Their first Hybrid Theory disc was a multimillion -dollar circulation and became one of the most successful debut albums of the decade, and the singles “ Papercut ” and “ In the End ” became great hits, including those who almost do not listen to heavy music.

Linkin Park played the canon of the nu-metal at that time: melodic purchases, loud chunks, hip-hop, postgrand, recitative and an angry voice, which at the right time turns into a heart-rending scream. That was the case of most stars of a heavy alternative: from Limp Bizkit to Spineshank, from Korn to SEVENDUST. However, Linkin Park had several trump cards that highlighted them against the background of others.

So how did Linkin Park differ from others?

First of all, despite the heavy sound, Linkin Park knew how to sound like a pop group and be affordable. Some of their songs like the same “in the end” could be calmly presented to the creation of Max Martin (the famous Swedish producer and Songraiter: he worked with Backstreet Boys, Rihannaya, Coldplay and other stars. - approx. Aut.) .

This obvious cunning came out sideways: after the release of “Hybrid theory”, rumors began to walk that Linkin Park is a production project, they did not write songs themselves and are not even really familiar with each other. This upset the group, and at the same time imposed a great responsibility on it when recording the next disk.
