Music : Hybrid Theoryby: Linkin Park
Disc 1:
Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: It may be too cynical to assume Hybrid Theory changed its name to Linkin Park in order to appear right next to Limp Bizkit in your local record bin. But rock-rap workouts like "One Step Closer" and "Papercut" do make Linkin Park a comfortable fit with Fred Durst and his ilk. Producer Don Gilmore (Pearl Jam, Lit) and twin vocal threats Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda serve up industrial-strength rap and rock melodicism with equal aplomb on this debut effort. "Points of Authority" aims to sound like Trent Reznor mixing it up with Metallica, whereas guitarist Brad Delson's Edge-y harmonics help "In the End" and "Pushing Me Away" evoke a dark romanticism akin to A Perfect Circle. Curiously, the band gets by with no bass player, while sample-happy DJ Joseph Hahn's step into the spotlight on the instrumental "Cure For The Itch" suggests a potential for eclecticism that could help Linkin Park outlive its seemingly transient genre. --Bill Forman Description: Debut album by California nu-metal band. Highly melodic, memorable pop songs, fused with samples, turntables and the heavy, aggressive riffing of metal. Performed by two vocalists, a singer and a rapper. Recorded with Pearl Jam producer Don Gilmore, it includes three top 20 singles. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - My opinionI first heard Linkin Park's `Crawling' on a Saturday morning music show- I had never heard anything like It. I'd never really been into music before, but the angst ridden, thundering chorus of this song really spoke to me. On the strength of the single alone I bought the album and - to my delight - loved it! Even though the album and band where bourn for an era where short-lived Nu-metal ruled the world, after which many bands failed to move on from the sound which popularized them ...

So much hype from so many quarters and up to now I have refrained from buying into what I felt was the pressure from the music industry to like pop rock. Stereotyped rock music sanitised for the populous which was kept to a basic recipe without too much deviation. I was pretty certain I'd find the album too samey, too safe, too commercialised. So I brought it then. Read More Rating: - Record Sales Justified? Linkin Park's debut album. It has sold over 15 million copys, which is probably more than most bands can hope to sell over their entire career. Is it good? Yes, it is. Linkin Park had their own sound. It was different from anything that other bands released, with their unique fusion of rock and rap, dj-ing and sampling. It is still the best album that they have released. Linkin Park is a very melodic, yet heavy band. almost every song is amazing. 1. papercut ... Read More Rating: - A truly great AlbumMy first Linkin Park album, and its totally sold me! Why did it take me so long to find this group ? Rating:  - Good Debut..I'd heard the odd Linkin Park song like 'Forgotten'(on here) and wasn't disappointed when I bought this album. Interesting to note also that it's produced by Andy Wallace, who also worked on Nirvana's 'NeverMind'. Browse for similar items by category:
