Linkin Park, the band that shaped many childhoods and reached out musically to fans across the world, has announced a new release: a 20th Anniversary Boxset based entirely around their second album, METEORA.
METEORA, released on March 24th, 2003, has since sold over 16 million copies worldwide and holds the distinction of being Linkin Park’s best-selling album, currently the 8th best-selling album of the 21st Century. Since the release of the album, Linkin Park held a position of power in the 2000s rock music scene and has released albums ranging in a variety of genres, including Hard Rock to Top 40 Pop, expressing their creative minds, much to their fans’ chagrin.
Even now, many fans still consider the album as Linkin Park’s best work, for better or for worse. And now, celebrated by the release of a brand new single “LOST”, the heralded album will be officially released once again. And, as it is my duty to report in such manners, allow me and The Illuminerdi to be your guide to ordering the rerelease.
