Last night, at 3 am, Linkin Park updated their profile picture on social media accounts to the vintage spray paint man logo. A logo that featured on all of the band's 2003 merchandise and the Meteora album cover, we can put two and two together: it looks like Linkin Park are teasing a 20th-anniversary edition of their second album, which was released on 25 March 2003.

Let's not forget how huge Meteora actually was at the time: it debuted at #2 on the ARIA Albums Chart and #1 on the ARIA Heavy Rock & Metal Albums Chart. Meteora was huge worldwide; it's sold over 16 million records, making it the 8th best-selling album of the 21st century behind superstars like Adele, Eminem, Coldplay and Evanescence, but above Green Day, Bruno Mars and P!nk. 

Meanwhile, on Facebook, Linkin Park posted the following: "D:\downloads\LiNkiNgPaRk-nUmB.exe

And what does their website look like right now? Well, take a look:
