Hybrid Theory Album Which Define The 21st Century

Have you heard hybrid theory album from Linkin Park? Great..!!! Returning to more familiar territory with the next album, this release undoubtedly made nu-metal a household term. The genre may have broken free from the underground with Korn’s Follow The Leader in 1998, but it wasn’t until Linkin Park’s Hybrid Theory was released that the world realised the genre had truely arrived.

Selling 24 million copies worldwide since its release in 2000, the significance of this album is hard to ignore. In Hybrid Theory Album’s Songs like Crawling and One Step Closer saw rap and metal collide in a way which the pop-listening public had never heard before.

The most significant part of that of course is that the public didn’t like it, which may account for the genre’s quick demise, but the most pop-friendly single: In The End, made it to #8 in the UK charts and took the top spot in the US Modern Rock chart, as well as #2 in the main US chart.

The band made significant use of the music video as a medium, putting time and effort into bringing the songs to life, often disturbingly so, and dealing with themes such as paranoia, violence, childhood abuse and isolation.

The video for Crawling was particularly powerful, depicting a child abused by her father, much as lead vocalist Chester Bennington was, and the blood pouring out of her as the video goes on until she appears fine by the end. The chilling beginning and ending sample of water (or what sounds like water…) going down a drain still has the power to make your hairs stand on end even today and encapsulates everything that the album is about.

The combination of Chester Bennington’s distinctive screaming vocals with Mike Shinoda’s rap creates a unique juxtaposition which gives the album it’s unique sound. It’s on fourth track Points of Authority that this comes across the most strongly, with Mike’s vocals interwoven with Chester’s pointed screams.
