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.

Having one previous EP that they never released in stores, although was sent to various labels as a demo, and was later sent out to fan club members at a certain point.. Linkin Park jumped right on the success train. With an album perfectly fitting for today's youth: Whining, depressed about nothing at all, and repetitious. Just like most kids hitting puberty happen to be. There are very few points on this album which show any level of songwriting ability above that of your typical high-school band which doesn't get outside of the garage.. Except Linkin Park had more money. The only real skill in this band lies between two people. DJ Hahn is actually quite talented, although they don't let him accomplish a bloody thing in this band. And secondly, Mike Shinoda is actually somewhat talented with rapping, at least with scripted rap. No clue if he can freestyle or not, and I quite frankly don't care. But he's decent. More talent there than the rest of the band. Regardless, the music is extremely repetitious and dull. There are no lyrics in this whole forty minute disaster that show any sign of anyone in the band being above the age of ten. These are worse than what I wrote when I was eleven. The guitar is power chords in drop D throughout the whole CD, that anyone with an amp, effects box, and a tuner can play. Terrible music for a future generation of kids who are embracing the worst popular music of any generation. Review ID: 10000000000064430 Was this review helpful?

I gave it to my grandson for his birthday and he plays it as soon as he gets up and then again when home from school. The cover was in perfect shape.
