    someone may have written about this before, i'm not sure, but i heard somewhere that linkin park wrote about 80 songs for 'meteora'. but obviously only put 13 songs on the album, why do that when the album is so short anyway? couldnt they put on one or two more? :wth:

    Linkin Park will add songs to a CD only if they think it's worth being on it. As you can see when listening one of their CDs, their songs are very different from each other and that's maybe why some were left behind (because they sounded too much like something else or nothing :D ).

    Just a guess :D .

    Yeah, but they are short compared to other CDs, that's true. Most of the CDs will last 50-60 minutes, but Meteora is more than worth it's price to me than some longer ones :D .

    Most CDs I own are 35-45 minutes long, so I don't care.

    i like the legnth b/c it's short and sweet, not stretched and repititive.

    In RE: to the 80 songs:
    I think they added elements from the 80 songs together to create 12 awesome tracks :D

    I think the length is fine. I've seen some cd's with only 6 tracks selling for 13.99, now thats ridiculous.

    Yeah, it's ok. I think that Hybrid Theory makes better use of it's time than Meteoa, but that's not the topic.... So I think it's fine.

    I think Linkin Park should make a new album. I am a little bit tired of Meteora already. They should get a different producer and I don't think they are sellouts but Linkin Park is completely controled by their label.

    I think that we shouldn't pressure them to record another album right away. The end product would probably sound forced and unlike them... As long as they're able to keep their creativity going, I'm all for them taking their time.

    Do you mind explaining why you think that? Like, give me/us some proof(examples)?

    I cant say I have proof. I just think these people are giving there opinions wich is fine, but there opinions generalize too much if you can understand what im saying...

    It may be shorter than most other cds but it's way better. Why should you really care how long it is? The cd is great no matter what. :p

    I thought at first that it was too short, but then it grew on me and I didn't mind. A lot of people seem to be making short disc's now.
