It may be too cynical to assume Hybrid Theory changed its name to Linkin Park in order to appear right next to Limp Bizkit in your local record bin. But rock-rap workouts like "One Step Closer" and "Papercut" do make Linkin Park a comfortable fit with Fred Durst and his ilk. Producer Don Gilmore (Pearl Jam, Lit, Eve 6) and twin vocal threats Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda serve up industrial-strength rap and rock melodicism with equal aplomb on this woulda-been-self-titled debut effort. "Points of Authority" aims to sound like Trent Reznor wanking it up with Lars and company, whereas guitarist Brad Delson's Edge-y harmonics help "In the End" and "Pushing Me Away" evoke a dark romanticism akin to A Perfect Circle. Curiously, the band gets by with no bass player, while sample-happy DJ Joseph Hahn's step into the spotlight on the instrumental "Cure for the Itch" suggests a potential for eclecticism that could help Linkin Park outlive its seemingly transient genre. --Bill Forman

 My favorite yet! November 13, 2008

Out of all of the Linkin Park CD's, I have to say that this one is my favorite. The majority of the songs on the CD are my top Linkin Park picks, with Papercut being my number 1 favorite! If you're a Linkin Park fan, this CD is a must buy!
One of my favourite albums- it should be one of yours! November 9, 2008

Nu-metal rules! Who needs those gay political bands like "Rage Against The Machine" when you've got incredible lyrics here? Bob Dylan? That guy is a joke, too. Linkin Park remains one of the finest bands I've ever listened to. The rapping is on-par with Lil' Wayne and the instrumentals are almost as good as those by Nickelback! This is a truly fantastic album. Listen to it now, you won't regret it!

Linkin Park is one of very few alternative rock groups i listen to, I'm mostly a Hip Hop and R&B person, but Linkin Park does a lil rapping which is why I listened to them in the first place, but ever since I have always loved Linkin Park...they're kind of EMO (which i hate) but they are extremely catchy and they make good music. I bought this album way back in 2002, and ever since I still listen to it (not as often) but every time I listen to this CD i just feel strong for some stupid reason. All the songs are perfect or above average, there are only 12 tracks but the album feels complete.
1)Papercut - the song starts with a head bumping beat, than an even more head bumping guitar riff, and than a break your neck combination of everything. The song is one of my favs because there is good rapping, and the screaming is scary but intising. 10/10
2) One Step Closer - I think I heard this song first after watching Dracula 2000, it was very in your face an the lyrics were just gritty. I never even knew who Linkin Park was but I knew the song, it was very surprising to find that this song was by Linkin Park...anyway a very good hard song. 10/10
3) With You - the sound was very similar to One Step Closer but different construction, not one of my favorites but I never skip the song. 9/10
4) Points of Authority - another mix with rap and rock, the beat was sick (mixed wit a lil DJ'ing), the chrous was very catchy. I feel EMO listening to this song, but the actual lyrics made perfect sense, I actually could relate to this song. 9.5/10
5) Crawling - this song won Linkin Park there first Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance...the video for this song was very poetic in my opinion very specific and very intuitive. The actual song was very disturbing to me in the beginning, I couldn't figure the frantic screaming that Chester was doin, but I've learned to love it. 10/10
6) Runaway - this is a very poetic song actually, actually hearing Chester singing without screaming was a nice change. This was my old favorite wen I was younger, I use to play this song like 10 times a day, seriously. 10/10
7) By Myself - this song was my least favorite, I don't know why but it just is. It wasn't very catchy and the actual story of the song wasn't very interesting. The song is decent tho. 7.5/10
8) In The End - THIS IS THE BEST SONG OFF THE WHOLE ENTIRE ALBUM. the beginning piano was unforgettable in my head, the beat is impossible not to love and Mike Shinodas lyrics are very true. Chesters Singing is a A in my book. The whole song is just great, the best song by Linkin Park. 11/10
9) A Place for My Head - Mike Shinoda's lyrics were in my head wen I heard this song. The beat is very catchy, and the hook is catchy. And the "You try to take the best of me, Go away" part was sick as hell. 10/10
10) Forgotten - another song demonstrating Linkin Park's story telling, I tend to skip this song a lot for sum reason, the song is good but there is just sumthin about it. 9/10
11) Cure For The Itch - this is an instrumental, but more of a demonstration from Mr. Hahn, his DJ skills are great, people that don't like scratching or Hip-Hop u will skip this but I personally love it. 10/10
12) Pushing Me Away - the final song of the album, this song closes album rather well but again not one of my favorite songs. The song is a story and a good one at that, Chester's singing is very well done and the instrumental's is good. 8/10
