“The California band’s blend of rapping, screaming, and circuit-bending defied easy categorization. Their sharpest tendencies meshed on Hybrid Theory, the most popular rock music of the 21st century.”
“A rap-rock outfit with a jones for Depeche Mode? Is this a glitch in the matrix? Linkin Park’s debut album, Hybrid Theory, is a freaky-deaky fusion that works in spots — on "Crawling," MC Mike Shinoda’s catchy rhymed refrains bounce off singer Chester Bennington’s New Wave croon, proving that synth-pop can get with the hip-hop.

“**💭 Thoughts:** LINKIN PARK’s debut album *Hybrid Theory* is arguably one of metal’s most important albums of the 21st century. To be honest, I’m not a huge fan of Chester Bennington’s vocal style. I think this album is great, and I love the instrumentals—from the crushing guitar riffs to the record scratches—but I generally prefer the vocal styles of Jonathan Davis or Corey Taylor when it comes to nu-metal. This might be a hot take, but I don’t really consider LINKIN PARK to be nu metal. While the album certainly shares elements of the genre, I view *Hybrid Theory* as more of a rap metal album due to its more frequent rapped verses compared to other nu-metal bands like Korn or Slipknot. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.)

“- liebe diese verzerrten riffs :o - wie bei papercut (outro) einfach mal ne ganze ad lib melody unter die vocals legen - ceo of scratching - die dynamik von chester b & mike s ist so nice in den hooks - walk down memory lane * __ * - die crawling hook is insane - linkin park = y2k nirvana - wie kann man „i felt this way before - so insecureeeeeee“ so secure schreien cray cray - längere ad libs!!!!!! - runaway hook yop - so schief & doch so schön (die snare auf by myself) - in the end natürlich zu recht evergreen - a place for my head hätte auch locker easy 1 green day song sein könne - alle singles an anfang und dann der gefühlvolle kram, interessante taktik - haha dieses lyracle miracle auf high voltage schon xtrem cringe aber ist halt 2000 nä”
“Un clásico noventero sirve para casi todo ejercicio, caminar, diseñar, etc, es una buena forma de conectar con el linkin park actual”
