When I was in my teens my brother used to listen to linkin park all the time and I was like what kind of a music is that. Gradually I started liking it and now I am one of the biggest fans of Linkin park. Hybrid Theory plays as a complete album, there are no throw away tracks here.
I wasn’t sure I liked Chester Bennington’s voice at first but after hearing "Crawling" a few times I came to realize that he’s got a great voice. He’s no Rob Halford or Bruce Dickinson but he’s up there amongst today’s vocalists(except for Serj from System of a Down). This cd is a true "hybrid" of metal and hip-hop influences. Linkin Park uses two vocalists, one singing and one rapping along with a dj and the results are spectacular.
