Contents • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Writing and recording [ ] In 2000, Linkin Park worked with Don Gilmore to record and release their debut album,. Initial writing for a second album dated back to in early 2001, while still touring in support of Hybrid Theory. The band had written around eighty different demos during their and, within the span of just eight months. Rough song ideas written then would find its way to the final album; notably the intro for '. Bennington recorded guitar notes for it, [ ] but found it too sounding.

Stanag 1008 Edition 999. However, Shinoda and reworked it, adding effects to it, and then played it backwards, molding it into something the band was happy with. As explained by Shinoda: 'Since I reversed it, it was playing 4-3-2-1.

The chord progression was reversed. Then I cut it into four pieces, and I played it 1-2-3-4. And that's why it has that sweeping sound.' We really learned the meaning of pressure. But it wasn't pressure from outside people.

It was artistic pressure from ourselves. You can't control the commercial success of a record, so there's no point in investing energy in that. But the quality of your record is entirely up to you, and you can't blame anyone else if you write crappy songs.

Before we did Meteora, I listened to 'Hybrid Theory' and 'Reanimation', and I was like, 'Dude, I'm really proud of these records. I don't remember how we did it, and I don't know how we're gonna do it again. We're kind of screwed. Then, fortunately, we were able to invest ourselves fully in the process for 18 months, and that helped us make a really great record.'

–, speaking about the album's writing background with Prior to releasing a second album, the band instead chose to release a remix album,, in 2002, produced by band member. The experience lead the band to want to co-produce their second album, while still working with Gilmore, hoping to expand on the sound of Hybrid Theory with more experimental ideas. In early 2002, after the touring, the writing continued in Mike's home studio, pre-production of the album began there. The band worked in pairs during the writing process, whereas Shinoda was always involved in all the songs.

The recording of the songs mainly used, whereas the band used the traditional method of writing, in main studio. In June, pre-production terminated and the band headed for main production. The band finalized Don Gilmore as their producer. When Reanimation was released, the band had started to write the main content. Rob Bourdon spent eight hours a day in the studio for the recording of the album. By August, the band entered as Bennington also began writing songs with the band. “ We knew what we wanted, and we knew how to execute to a certain degree.

However, we were also just going for it. We didn’t really care about what anybody else was doing. We also didn’t care whether or not the songs fit together stylistically as a whole or a collection of songs. It was more like, 'This riff is sick!' Then, we’d just scream over it, and the next song would be a mid-tempo ballad and you’d sing the way that song needed to be sang.

We were testing. We were students in college.

We were in the lab, and we happened to stumble across something everybody liked and it worked. I think Meteora was an extension of that. Mike Shinoda (pictured) is said to be included in the writing of all the songs. Linkin Park had finished versions of many songs before the actual recording process had begun, but they majorly wrote the finalised songs included in the track list in the studio.

Mike and I are two different people, so we can't sing about the same things, but we both know about frustration and anger and loneliness and love and happiness, and we can relate on that level.' 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.'

He continued: 'We wanted each sample that was in each song to be something that might perk your ear – something that you might not have ever heard before.' In a promotional interview, Rob Bourdon stated: 'We wanted a group of songs that would sit well together because we wanted to make a record that you could pop into your CD player and, from beginning to end, there would never be a spot where you start daydreaming.' In titling the album, Mike said that 'Meteora was a word that caught my attention because it sounded huge.'
