The gist
Spill Magazine 9.0/10 90 “Linkin Park Meteora (20th Anniversary Edition) Warner Records Few albums deserve a mark of perfection when it comes to production, writing, and instrumental world-building. For Linkin Park, the album that…”
Spectrum Culture 75/100 75 “For those who want a richer understanding of the band in this phase of their lifespan, it’s hard to imagine anything more fulfilling.”
musicOMH 3/5 60 “So Don Gilmore is to metal what Stock, Aitken & Waterman were to Brit pop in the '80s, back when Kylie Minogue dressed up in colourful bubble gum”
Uncut 2/10 20 “Unremarkable second LP from corporate-minded Californian rockers”

How the Breakdown works

Every outlet’s score is converted to 0–100 (2/5 is 40, 5.9/10 is 59, a B+ is 88) and averaged. Grades follow the B-Side scale: A is 90–100, B 80–89, C 70–79, D 60–69, F below 60. Critics who liked it is the share of outlets that scored it 75 or higher; the Breakdown shows green at 75 and up, red below. Divisiveness asks a different question: not whether critics liked it, but how close their scores are to each other. Five critics who all give it 50 are Unanimous, even though none of them liked it. The labels run Unanimous, Broad agreement, Some debate, Divided, and Contentious. Replay rate comes from listeners, not critics: yes counts fully, a few tracks counts half, no counts zero. The gist quotes each outlet’s own summary of its review. Scores marked est. come from reviews that publish no number.
