Album Review

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

Linkin Park hasn't been able to improve on this debut effort in my opinion. I still listen to songs off this disc occasionally and enjoy the mixed rap rock effect. There are several songs I used on mixes I made for workouts like "One Step Closer" to keep me motivated.
