Meteora (20th Anniversary Edition)

From Linkinpedia

Template:Infobox album

Meteora (20th Anniversary Edition) is the 20th anniversary celebratory release of Linkin Park's second album Meteora. It was released on March 24, 2023 through Warner Records.

Background

Composition

The release of Meteora (20th Anniversary Edition) is composed of the original Meteora studio album, the full Live In Texas live album, the full performance at Nottingham from 2003, a compilation of live tracks released during the Meteora era titled Live Rarities 2003-2004, a compilation of LPU studio tracks and Meteora demos titled LPU Rarities 2.0, a demo CD featuring previously unreleased demos, a DVD featuring The Making Of Meteora, The Art Of Meteora and a new documentary Work In Progress, two DVDs with Linkin Park's full performances at Veterans Stadium and Seoul from 2003 and at Live In Manila 2004 and Live In Denver - Projekt Revolution from 2004. The collection sums up to a total of 89 tracks.


Meteora

Meteora is the full-length album without any additional music. All the bonus tracks for the album released in the past were included on Live Rarities 2003-2004 with the exception of the live version of "Somewhere I Belong" recorded in Milton Keynes on June 06, 2008, which was in the 2013 deluxe edition of the album on iTunes.[1] Oddly, only the CD Deluxe edition contains "Lost" as final track on the disc.


Live in Texas

Live in Texas is the live album, including the songs that were previously omitted from its original CD release, which would only be featured on the DVD or on LP Underground 3.0.


Live In Nottingham 2003

Live In Nottingham 2003 is the full performance from the BBC Radio 1 Secret Show during the LP Underground Tour. This show was previously broadcasted by BBC Radio 1, however omitting both "Hit The Floor" and "Easier To Run", making this the first time both songs from this show were included anywhere. It's also the first time that a soundboard recording of "Hit The Floor" got released.


LPU Rarities 2.0

For the first time, the LPU Rarities 2.0 tracks were released to a broader audience through mainstream digital stores and streaming services. Previously, they were available exclusively to members of Linkin Park's official fan club, the LP Underground. "Attached" was previously only available as digital downloadable bonus track for LP Underground 15, so this was also the first time these tracks were issued in physical format.

The compilation is intended to collect all the Meteora-era studio material released to the LPU between 2002 and 2015, omitting all live tracks from this collection and including them on Live Rarities 2003-2004 instead.


Live Rarities 2003-2004

This collection includes most b-sides off all Meteora singles and all live tracks released on LP Underground 4.0. Both live tracks off the "From The Inside" single are omitted, since they are already included on Live In Texas. "One Step Closer (Reanimated Live)" (LPU Tour 2003) off the "Faint" single is missing.

Despite the compilation being named Live Rarities 2003-2004, "Step Up" and "My December" off the "Somewhere I Belong" single are both recorded from a show in 2002. This is because the songs were released in 2003 in the Meteora era, not 2002.


Lost Demos

The Lost Demos features 14 previously unreleased demos. Many titles in this collection were known about by the community for years, but titles were not associated with specific demos until this release.


DVDs

The first DVD includes three documentaries: The Making Of Meteora, The Art of Meteora and a new documentary Work In Progress. The latter was still titled "New Fiore Meteora Awesome" on the product mock-up.

Veterans Stadium 2003 was filmed during Metallica's Summer Sanitarium Tour, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on July 12, 2003. The full show was previously unreleased.

Live in Seoul 2003 was recorded during the band's first show in Seoul, South Korea on October 29, 2003. Footage of this show was used by Mark Fiore on the video of 'Faint' that appeared on the "Live In Texas" TV special. The full show was previously unreleased.

Live in Manila 2004 was filmed at the band's first show in Manila, Philippines on June 15, 2004. The full show was previously unreleased.

Live in Denver - Projekt Revolution includes a full Projekt Revolution set at Greenwood Village, Colorado on August 30, 2004. The full show was previously unreleased.
