Linkin Park created an awesome mixture of nu-metal, rap-rock together with touches of electronic and alternative music.
This album followed the music style of its predecessor. However, contrary to the praising feedbacks of the experts, this record did not achieve the debutante's fame. Involving rapper Jay-Z, Linkin Park produced acclaimed remixes for Numb, Faint, One Step Closer, and Lying from You. The album earned a number of rewards: MTV reward for the best video (Somewhere I Belong) and Radio Music Awards for the best song (Numb). The videos for Somewhere I Belong, Breaking the Habit, and Numb occupied MTV and top positions of the charts. Meteora, Linkin Park's second album, was produced in 2003 to lead the Billboard chart as the most distributed record. In addition, Linkin Park recorded Reanimation, a collection of remixes. Overall, they gave 320 concerts for that year and released DVD Frat Party at the Pankake Festival. In 2001, Linkin Park toured the USA having many performances together with famous rappers, and also participated in Ozzfest. By today, more than 10 million copies of this record have been sold. This album has remained the most successful one in the band's discography. The record included such chart-toppers as Crawling, One Step Closer, and In the End the video for the latter, broadcasted by MTV, was proclaimed the video of the year. This album was a good seller with 4 million and 800,000 copies sold for the first year and earned then Grammy as the best rock album of the year. In a year, they released their debut album Hybrid Theory, featuring the material accumulated for many years. In 1999, Linkin Park managed to get a contract with Warner Bros. Thus, they called themselves Linkin Park. The young men went into troubles with the other band under the same name charging them with a copyright infringement. As he had agreed to join the band, it was called Hybrid Theory. His unique voice made a deep impression on the other members. It took the group a while to find a new vocalist. After multiple refusals of labels to cooperate, the original singer Mark Wakefield made up his mind to seek his fortune in another band.
In spite of the limited finances, the band started recording several songs in Shinoda's bedroom, their first studio. The group was founded in 1996 by classmates Mike Shinoda and Brad Delson. Linkin Park is a rock band from Los Angeles playing alternative rock. No matter their direction, pain and catharsis remained at their. Indeed, as their original band name and debut album title suggested, they were a hybrid of forces, relying as much on the vocal interplay between singer Chester Bennington and rapper Mike Shinoda as on the band's muscled instrumentation, which layered DJ Hahn's effects atop heavy, processed guitars and pounding percussion. Despite being burdened with the oft-derided nu-metal and rap-rock genre designations, they soon evolved beyond those associations into a more complex beast. Rooted at the crossroads of aggressive metal and beat-driven hip-hop, Linkin Park became one of the most successful acts of the early 21st century by incorporating elements from across genres, injecting hardcore rap, raucous punk, atmospheric electronic, and even polished pop stylings into their music.
