Some of them have completely different lyrics in the demos. It is fascinating to hear how the songs evolved from the demos to the versions on the album. The most interesting part is the demos and unreleased songs. The album is divided into six parts: the original album, Reanimation, Hybrid Theory EP, live versions and rarities, demos and finally the unreleased songs. It’s amazing how small changes to, for example, the melodies can change the overall feeling of the song. The remixes are fresh new takes on the old songs and by mixing the lyrics and changing the melodies they bring new dynamics to the songs. These are not new and they have been released before in 2002 on their album ‘ Reanimation‘. This album starts with the original songs and then moves on to the remixes, made by other artists and/or Linkin Park.
Then add to that the impressive vocals of Bennington, which raise the hairs on the back of my neck every single time.
The song ‘Crawling’ is one of the heaviest songs on the album in terms of emotional intensity. I can’t think of any other singer who can describe depression in such an honest and accurate way, as Chester Bennington does, especially on this album. The songs are raw and honest about some of the most difficult emotions that we deal with. But still, this album and the legacy of the band lives on and now we get to enjoy some rare demos from the making of this record.įirst of all, many of the songs on the original album hold a very big emotional meaning for me personally. A lot has changed for the band in those twenty years, from the changes in musical style and the devastating loss of their lead singer Chester Bennington a few years ago. It launched them into world fame and suddenly it has been 20 years since its initial release, showing how much time flies. This was the debut album for Linkin Park. Prepare for an emotional roller coaster while listening to it. The songs talk about difficult emotions that we all experience, making it relatable. It’s super unique in the way that it combines rap with heavy, hard rock music. For me, personally, “ Hybrid Theory” is one of the greatest albums ever made.
