Hybrid Theory
About This Album
Linkin Park originally called itself Hybrid Theory and has retained that phrase for the title of its debut album. The "hybrid" in question is one of rap and metal. The guitars and drums lock into standard thrash patterns, over which singer Chester Bennington and rapper Mike Shinoda alternate in furious expressions of rage and frustration. "One Step Closer," the track released to radio in advance of the album's release, is a typical effort, with lyrics like "Everything you say to me/Takes me one step closer to the edge/And I'm about to break." ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

hybrid theory wouldve been a good name for them too and i like papercut
|
||
heeeeeey all this abum is the coolest and if u dont lik it u r a bi*t*ch
|
||
i wish they would go back to this. the new stuff just doesn't sound like them. it's way too mainstream
|
||
In my opinion Faint, Papercut, Crawling, Points Of Authority, and Breaking The Habit are the best.
|
||
Favorite tracks: Forgotten, Points of Autority, Pushing Me Away, and Papercut.
And this album is way harder than Faith No More could ever hope to be. |
||
the only way they could have ripped off faith no more is if they sucked on purpose
|
||
Papercut, Points of Authority, and Crawling are the best tracks in my opinion. :)
|
||
total Faith No More rip off, difference being Linkin Park needs two guys to do what MIke Patton does by himself, and Linkin is way more commerical. If you really like this band do yourself a favor and listen FNM's albums from the 90s

Hybrid Theory is one of the few albums in which every song is outstanding. Each one is amazing.
|
||
linkin park was smart. minutes to midnight wasnt as good as the other two albums, but it was still well written, just a sound most of us dont liek as much. leaving us hungry for a better album. oh and i dont think bleached hair has anything to do with it. just my thoughts.
|
||
noticing a parallel: on hybrid theory and meteora, bennington's hair is bleached, music is good. once mtm comes out, bleached hair disappears, and they go way to mainstream and aren't as good as they could be.
|
||
Its the best because of their emphasis on the mix of mike and the metal. I love everyone one of the songs on this album.
|
||
Hybrid Theory is definitely their best album. Adjectives such as "epic" and "awesome" can describe every song, but words hardly do this album justice. Meteora is my second favorite. Only half of the songs from Minutes to Midnight are good, and only a few are truly awesome.
|
||
EVERY SINGLE FREAKING LINKIN PARK SONG IS AWESOME IN EVERY WAY SO SHUT UP!!!
...yeah, mike is better, but only because he's like part Japanese. Fort Minor Rocks! |
||
This is and Meteora are what happen when you let Mike Shinoda write songs. You know what happens when you let Chester write songs? Minutes to Midnight. Please, dear God, give Mike the pen back.
|
||
This is their best album and meteora follows very closely... its been downhill fast since
|
||
Ok This Is One Of Linkin Parks Best Albums!!!!!! I LOVE IT. BUT LOVE AVENGED SEVENFOLD BETTER. :-)
|
||
you people who think he's dissing the album are idiots. He's simply describing the style of music. There's no insults or jabs at ALL. LEARN TO READ.
|
||
yeah the reviewer is a piece of sh*t. doesn't he realize how much money this album made alone?! lame-ohhhh
|
||
This album has MAJOR OWNAGE!!!!!! ! their best album yet, Meteora just behind it
|
||
Ruhlmann's review SUCKS A$$!!!!!!! HOW DARE HE DISS ONE OF LP'S GREATEST ALBUMS EVER!!!!!!!
