Song by Song Review
Forward: The sound of glass being broken
Don’t Stay: This song grabs your attention from the very beginning with the sound of broken glass, followed by the remarkable guitar intro. This is one of my favorite songs on the CD. The lyrics cut through to you and say the words that you want to say when in a situation where you just had enough. The instrumentals in this song are very catchy and makes you want to get up and rock with it. Chester mainly does the vocals, while Mike chimes in every now and again. This song is epic.
Somewhere I Belong
 This song has a very special meaning for me. The lyrics got to me emotionally during a time I really needed to reflect on what a bad relationship was doing to me. It set me on a path of self-discovery. I will always hold this song close to my heart. I love all of the instrumentals in this song. It really brings it out. Mike does vocals mainly for the verses and Chester  does the chorus and bridge. Chester chimes in on the verses, while Mike on the chorus. This song rocks.
 Lying From You
I got so engrossed with this song I had to listen to it again for the review. This is another favorite of mine. The lyrics draw you in along with the instrumentals. It starts off hardcore and ends hardcore. It is a great song to rock to.  Mike does the vocals on the verses mainly and Chester on the chorus, blending in throughout the song. One of the true staples to Meteora. 
Hit the Floor
The instrumentals catches your attention right from the start. As it continues you can tell you are in for a treat.  The lyrics are well written and can be widely open to interpretation. Mike starts up this awesome song on vocals. Chester's powerfully awesome voice takes the chorus by storm. This song rings true to a lot of people. Mike also covers the bridge of the song. Awesome song.
Easier to Run 
The instrumentals catches your attention right from the start. As it continues you can tell you are in for a treat.  The lyrics are well written and can be widely open to interpretation. Mike starts up this awesome song on vocals. Chester's powerfully awesome voice takes the chorus by storm. This song rings true to a lot of people. Mike also covers the bridge of the song. Awesome song.
Faint 
I have always loved the instrumental beginning in this song. It is number two of my all time favorite Linkin Park songs.  Mike starts off the vocals and does the verses. Chester does the chorus and bridge "I WON'T BE IGNORED!!!!!! I remembered thinking, yes, exactly. This is another song that the lyrics caught my attention to.
 Figure .09
 I love the guitar intro in this song.  Mike starts off the vocals with lyrics that many can relate to.  Chester chimes in every now and again during the verses as well does the verses and bridge with Mike of this very awesome song.  This song reminds me of what we give up for people that we shouldn’t, becoming which that we hate.
  Breaking the Habit
  I loved the beat of this song right from the start. I could listen to Chester sing like this all day. He has such an awesome and versatile voice. You can just feel the emotion he puts in this song. Chester sings the whole song. It starts epic and it ends epic. One of the great staples of Meteora. 
From the Inside
This is one of my favorite songs on the album. The instrumentals are done well right from the beginning.  Chester starts off the vocals. Both Chester and Mike do vocals on the verses. Chester does the vocals on the chorus and bridge as well. The kind of song that expresses that you just had enough.
Nobody’s Listening
This song caught my attention right off with the awesome instrumentals. The beat gets your body moving. It had me dancing all over my apartment. Mike does vocals on the verses. Chester does the chorus with Mike chiming in on them.  Mike also does the vocals for the bridge. This is my favorite song on the album.
 Session
 A Japanese flute with a mixture of different sounds, started by Mike and added with some add ins by other members. Beautifully made.
 Numb
 This song's signature start builds you up to prepare you for one awesome song. This song is the most played Linkin Park song on the radio, at least where I am at. The lyrics could be related to anyone who has felt that numbing feeling from the expediency of others. Chester mainly does the vocals, very well might I add. Mike chimes in a couple of lines in the verses. All together epic song for them.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Song By Song Review:
Papercut
This is the second song I discovered from Linkin Park, only I didn't know it was them until a month after I listened to it. I got this song in my head every day until I finally found out who did it and what the title was. 
The song gets your attention from the very beginning with electro sound, leading into a heavy guitar sound. The versus vocals were mainly done by Mike, with Chester harmonizing.  Both of them sing the chorus. The lyrics speaks about the inner voice we have in all us. This is my favorite song on the album.
One Step Closer
"SHUT UP WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU!!!!!" Who didn't love that line in this song. This is a great song if you want to get some frustration out.  Right from the beginning it makes your adrenaline pump with the heavy guitar and drums. You already know this song is going to be hardcore. Chester does the vocals in the verses and him and Mike both do in the chorus. What a scream.
With You
First time I heard this I was hooked. In ways it reminded me of the situation I was in with my ex. It brought out my inner feelings and put them into words, like so many of their songs do in my case. Mike mainly does vocals in the verses, while Chester does the chorus. This song is epic.
Points of Authority
Right from the beginning you can  tell this song is going to kick butt. It certainly does deliver.  Mike starts off this killer song.  The heavy instrumentals instantly makes you want to rock hard with the band. Chester takes off from that and continues to wow us throughout the song, with Mike coming in ever so often. This song is in my top ten list for favorite Linkin Park songs.
Crawling
This song hit me a little close to home for me. Sometimes it was hard for me to listen to it because I listen to music on a very emotional level to begin with, throw that into the mix and here comes the tears. I've gotten use to it since then and now I love the song. The instrumentals are absolutely amazing. Chester mainly does the vocals in this awesome song. Mike has about four lines in it, but is still awesome. I don't know anyone who doesn't like Crawling.
Runaway
I loved this song the first time I listened to Hybrid Theory, like I love all of their songs. This song was playing when I decided I had enough of a bad relationship and wanted to move on. The song said to run and I did. That was the first of many Linkin Park songs that I took the advice it gave and turned out to be a life changing moment for me.  The instrumentals are full of energy. I can't seem to sit still when this song is playing. Chester mainly does the vocals in this song, while Mike does a few lines in it. All around awesome song.
By Myself
I am literally living these lyrics right now. A lot of their songs have hit home for me and this one does as well. Their lyrics helped me get through some pretty messed up situations that I am still going through to this very day. They inspire us all to fight and never give up, no matter the circumstance.  Mike does the verses, while Chester does the bridges and chorus. Both of them sound incredible during this song. The instrumentals always rock.
In the End
This was the first song I ever heard from Linkin Park. I
remember thinking, "Wow, this is different." It was love at first listen. I've been hooked on Linkin Park ever since. 
The song gets your attention right from the get go with the wonderful instrumental beginning. Mike starts off vocals, mainly the verses, while Chester blends in and does the chorus and bridge.
A Place For My Head
I rocked hard with this song, but I have also cried during this song because the lyrics touched me during a time I needed to see the way things really were during a tough time for me. I love this song. Mike mainly does the verses, while Chester chimes in on them and does the chorus and YOU TRY TO TAKE THE BEST OF ME!!!!! GO AWAY!!!!!! The instrumentals rocked hard during this song and helped shaped the song to it's fullest potential. 
Forgotten
This song is so hardcore. I love it. The vocals and instrumentals kick butt.  Chester and Mike both do the chorus equally. They both sound awesome. Mike does the verses, while Chester chimes in every now and again.  The blend together during the bridge, which is both beautiful and hardcore at the same time. The guitar and drums, especially sticks out for me in this song.  Brad and Rob did a killer job on this song. They all did.
Cure For The Itch
Everything about this song is awesome. Joe did a really good job on it. My husband does the same  type of music as Joe and he gets inspired by him. I enjoy everything he does as well, this song included.
Pushing Me Away
This  got me crying a few times because of it's lyrics. This is not a bad thing, just made me face myself during a time I really needed to reflect and take a closer look of my surroundings and what it was doing to me.  All the instrumentals are sweet in this song. Chester mainly does the vocals, while Mike does a couple lines within the verses. This song sounds good both hardcore and when done softly.
I would recommend this to a friend!
