It's all been done before.

Power chords? Helmet made it intricate with Hamilton's study of jazz as well as System of a down, to some degree. Rhythm? Deftones' drummer is even better at rhythm than these guys. Candiria just makes it groudbreaking. Rap metal? Rage Against the Machines at least soloed and the vocalist came from a punk background, giving their music some meaning. Angst? Godflesh put noise and feedback to back up their lyrics resulting in a disturbing, hellish effect in a powerful way. Genre changes? Pink Floyd also went through changes and have become noteworthy as a result. And let's not forget Thrice either. Importantly, they both had musical knowledge to where they could write whatever they went into and came out fresh and inspirational. Linkin Park overall? Nothing new folks, except for a few electronic noteworthy segments. That is all.

Excellence

Linkin Park ROCKS, even us 55 year olds. It is one of the best albums and harmony. The lyrics pertain to many people. People can relate to trying so hard, getting so far, and in the end it doesn't really matter.

eMusic Yearbook: 2001

By Melissa Maerz, eMusic Contributor

Was September 11, 2001 really the day the music died? It sure seemed like it at the time. Clear Channel released a memo suggesting the removal of more than 150 songs from their 1200 radio stations, declaring such tracks as Tom Petty's "Free Fallin'," Filter's "Hey Man, Nice Shot," and "all songs by Rage Against the Machine" to be "lyrically questionable" in light of the terrorist attacks. Record stores yanked the latest by hip-hop anarchists… more »

They Say All Music Guide

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
