Even after 20 years, we keep coming back to Hybrid Theory because where the band’s sharpest tendencies are mashed with emotion that we all carry.Get help with access Institutional accessĪccess to content on Oxford Academic is often provided through institutional subscriptions and purchases. Moreover, these 12 songs were the perfect introduction to a band that became a household name. To many, Linkin Park was the gateway to acts that they would later tour with: Metallica, Deftones, Korn, and Taking Back Sunday. In just under 38 minutes, it is undoubtedly the most popular piece of heavy music of the 21 st century. The 12 songs on Hybrid Theory are so perfectly crafted. The Mos Def sample on “She Couldn’t” is spectacular and bassist, Dave Farrell’s cello and violin in “Krwlng” are fantastic. It is a lot but it is interesting to hear early versions of songs and how they transformed into megahits. To celebrate the 20 years of Hybrid Theory, the band has released 50 tracks, B-sides, remixes, and live performances. One of the best songs that Linkin Park can perform live, where they just let the crowd take over it and let them pour their personal emotion out into the universe. Perhaps it is the moody piano or the distinctive relatable lyrics. From that, the band developed their first single, the gritty and explosive, “One Step Closer.” The song is heavy, super melodic riff, and on its own, electronic.Īnd who is to forget the one song that this year marked its one-billionth view on YouTube, “In the End?” The emotional sentiment is so instinctive and compelling. Working with producer Don Gilmore ( Eve 6, Good Charlotte ) was a challenge for the band as he thought that Linkin Park needed to develop more radio-friendly tunes. Drummer, Rob Bourbon’s groove, and funk influence can be heard in “Pushing Me Away” and the rhythmic “With You.” Guitarist, Brad Delson and DJ Joe Hahn’s boom-bap and downtempo, electronica riffs and beats come in so clean in “Cure for the Itch.” Musically diverse, each member of the band brought their own influences to this debut. The teenage angst felt in “Points of Authority” felt raw and the band demonstrated a vulnerability at a different level with the Grammy-winning “Crawling.” The intro to “Crawling” is so iconic and Bennington’s guttural scream is chilling. Bennington with his powerhouse vocals, conveying each emotion like in “Runaway” and in “A Place for My Head” brilliantly expressed vivid lyrics written and rapped by Shinoda. Even the idea of suicide that later came to haunt the band, was a topic that very few bands were talking about, nonetheless in the mainstream.īennington and Shinoda worked so well together. Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda, the brain that held up the Linkin Park body, showcased deception, control, psychological and physical abuse in their songs. Thematically, it opened up a realm of possibilities for teens alike. And sure there was Limp Bizkit, who a year prior were gaining momentum and this seems like another version without the chain and red cap, yet for a band that most people in the scene did not appreciate, they sure became monumental. Thrown into the virile nu-metal genre, Linkin Park stood apart. It was an early introduction to genre-bending and an education to rule-breaking since no other band was hitting cross-cultural genres like that at the time. It was the highest-selling album since 1988’s Appetite for Destruction (Geffen), selling 32 million worldwide to this day. Released on October 24, 2000, Linkin Park’s Hybrid Theory (Warner Bros) broke records. As pop dominated the airwaves with releases such as, N*Sync’s No Strings Attached, and Britney Spears’ Oops I Did it Again, an album that was forced by the media into the new category nu-metal was about to become historic. The year 2000 is very memorable for many things, exceptionally in music.
