* HarsherInHindsight: As with most of his body of work, several of the songs on the album, such as "Somewhere I Belong", "Numb", "Nobody's Listening", "Easier to Run" or even "Breaking the Habit," speak to Chester Bennington's depression that would eventually [[DrivenToSuicide claim his life]] 10+ year later. Doubly harsh for the latter song, see MisattributedSong entry below.

* HarsherInHindsight: Nobody expected the songs off ''Meteora'' such as "Somewhere I Belong", "Numb", "Nobody's Listening", "Easier to Run" or even "Breaking the Habit" (released in ''2003'') would foreshadowing what would become of Chester in 2017...
** Speaking of "Breaking the Habit", the video ''literally'' begins with Chester '''''dying'''''. If that wasn't prophetic enough...
* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: Some fans will say that this album ''beats'' ''Music/HybridTheory'', especially being the last album that didn't suffer the BrokenBase with later albums.
