Album Notes Linkin Park: Mike Shinoda (vocals, programming, samples); Chester Bennington (vocals); Brad Delson (guitar, bass, background vocals); Rob Bourdon (drums, background vocals); Joseph Hahn (turntables, programming).Additional personnel includes: Ian Hornbeck, Scott Koziol (bass); The Dust Brothers (programming).Recorded at NRG Recordings, North Hollywood, California."Crawling" won the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance.Linkin Park's mixture of metal, industrial rock, and rap fits comfortably into the niche created by the likes of Kid Rock, Korn, and Limp Bizkit. The opening "Papercut" is every bit as angular and unavoidable as its title. "With You" opens with electronic squeaks and squiggles before leaping into a mix of heavy guitar riffs and hip-hop rhythms. "Crawling" bears a largely subdued tone and atmospheric synth coloring that provides a respite from the crushing riffs and grinding rhythms that typify HYBRID THEORY, but even this relatively sedate song is full of tension and sonic angst. The five young men of Linkin Park are on a mission to communicate their inner turmoil through a non-stop barrage of confrontational lyrics and aggressive aural constructions, and their debut gets the point across with alacrity.

Top Reviews  Kick ass Band!Review created: 23/04/06 by:  6 of 9 people found this review helpful. This is a fantastic album. I was into metal when I was a kid but slowly swayed towards trance. This album brought back the rocker in me with its hyper riffs and amazing lyrics. All I can say is, if you haven't got this album, you really are missing out!

The last review was terrible, but also unfair this album was the first they released (not including the EP) and like most first albums it wasnt expected to be a hit, i personally LOVE this album and think of it as one of the most defining albums ever made one of the only nu metal bands i like, this is a great band, a great album and a MUST HAVE for all fans Review ID: 10000000000882173 Was this review helpful? Report this review  Very impressedReview created: 02/05/06 by: 8 of 16 people found this review helpful. I never really listened to this sort of music before. But after hearing and buying the Jay z Linkin park collistion course album i decided to, and i dont regreat it! I love mostly all the songs, i think because some have a hint of pop in them, and even the ones that dont, i still love. this album has encouraged me to listen to more rock, and of course purchase more linkin park albums!

With the two lead vocals put together in a metal band, add a dj and some heavily rap filled lyrics and metal tunes and you have a mix that makes this band an amazing band that I have listened to so many times on this album, it has catchy and really good vocals with a feel of needing to sing along too (which I do on a regular basis, even when not listening to it) This is what happens when rock/metal meet rap and it is deffinately one of the top 100 albums of my generation in my eyes, a must own CD.

I absolutley love this album, it's one of a few albums I'll listen the whole way through without getting bored. And I'm not just saying that because I'm a huge Linkin Park fan at first I wasn't too sure about the band myself. I first got wind of Linkin Park after seeing the "One Step Closer" video, I thought it was amazing but I wasn't sure I would like the other songs on the album. But I bought it anyway and I'm glad I did. I, personally, could really relate to the songs and with the intelligent and well thought of lyrics and amazing mix of metal and rap with the unbelievable singing voice of Chester Bennington, hip hop and rhyme vocals taken on by the multi-talented Mike Shinoda, awesome DJ mixing from Mr. Hahn, Rob Bourdon taking it to the drums and Phoenix Farrell and Brad Delson showing everyone how it's done on bass and guitar. Hybrid Theory is an enjoyment to listen to from "Papercut" to "Pushing Me Away". Okay, now to give my views on the songs and their meanings. Please note that the views of the meanings of these songs by me are not necessarily of the views others or Linkin Park themselves. It's the way I see them and others might feel the same about the songs... 1) Papercut - 9/10: The first song on the album, this one takes a look at the paranoid side of the brain which I'm sure alot of us do feel from time to time. 2) One Step Closer - 10/10: For me, the best song on the album, I really like this one, it seems to talk about being hurt by someone. This was the song that got me into Linkin Park in the first place and has remained my favourite. 3) With You - 7/10: Not the best song on the album but good lyrics all the same. This one seems to be about being hurt by someone but still caring for that person no matter what. 4) Points Of Authority - 9/10: A song showing an angrier side of Linkin Park, being hurt by someone and kinda feel like you've been used. Great track! 5) Crawling - 9/10: Great song. It talks about being really uncomfortable in a certian situation and feeling totally insecure. One of the songs where Chester holds the notes for a long time and really well. 6) Runaway - 8/10: This song seems to reflect on not being understood, getting so ticked off with it all and just wanting to be left alone. 7) By Myself - 8/10: A song which shows alone someone can feel (obviously by looking at name of the track) and not being able to be yourself with the people around you. 8) In The End - 10/10: I think anyone who's ever listened to the album likes this song. Well, people I know anyway. But it really is a good song. Chester and Mike's voices go with the song beautifully. I guess this one talks about really trusting and caring for someone but that person never fully understood you. 9) A Place For My Head - 9/10: A song which says that you really cared for someone and tried to be there for them but then they just threw it back in your face and in the end you just want to take a break from it all. 10) Forgotten - 9/10: I really can't think of a meaning for this song but it's great nonetheless. The lyrics go really well with the music. 11) Cure For The Itch - 7/10: This is Mr. Hahn showing off his great DJ skills. 12) Pushing Me Away - 9/10: The final song on the album and really enjoyable. This talks about doing anything to just be able to be with someone but that person is alway...well...pushing you away. Well, hope you find this review helpful and if you didn't...just buy the album anyway! Review ID: 10000000001437349 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
