It may be too cynical to assume Hybrid Theory changed its name to Linkin Park in order to appear right next to Limp Bizkit in your local record bin. But rock-rap workouts like "One Step Closer" and "Papercut" do make Linkin Park a comfortable fit with Fred Durst and his ilk. Producer Don Gilmore (Pearl Jam, Lit, Eve 6) and twin vocal threats Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda serve up industrial-strength rap and rock melodicism with equal aplomb on this woulda-been-self-titled debut effort. "Points of Authority" aims to sound like Trent Reznor wanking it up with Lars and company, whereas guitarist Brad Delson's Edge-y harmonics help "In the End" and "Pushing Me Away" evoke a dark romanticism akin to A Perfect Circle. Curiously, the band gets by with no bass player, while sample-happy DJ Joseph Hahn's step into the spotlight on the instrumental "Cure for the Itch" suggests a potential for eclecticism that could help Linkin Park outlive its seemingly transient genre. --Bill Forman |

Hybrid is an Appropriate Title |
The sound of Hybrid Theory is different than any rock band had attempted with screaming and grungy vocals, rap sequences, and heavy electronic based melodies. The band all contributes to writing the music, and Mike Shinoda makes a great team with Chester Bennington as they continue to push each other to create stronger and deeper songs.
However, Mr. Hahn is the primary composer of their music besides the drums, electric guitar, and vocals for Linkin Park. He is what brings their incredibly unique sound. He is famous for using programming and synthesizers with sampling to create the melody and foot tapping sound of Linkin Park. Mr. Hahn uses a Korg Triton synthesizer keyboard as one of the main elements of his electronic work as well as an MS2000. The Triton was developed after the release of the Yamaha DX7, which was the first midi fm keyboard synth. The Triton has similar purposes and uses that were originally established with the DX7, that started the wave of 'preset' patches, so all synthesizers have the patch storing ability now, which goes to show the importance of this development by John Chowning. Mr Hahn was influenced by early computer music because he has mastered the Triton so well and uses it in every song on Hybrid Theory. He also goes back to earlier roots in computer music with the first analog syth, the Moog, which he utilizes in different pieces throughout this album.
Of course, In The End was the biggest hit from this album that is still found on rock radio stations 10 years later. The strength of the song is in the reverb that is created using computer synthesizers by Mr. Hahn. Although, this song is also one of the less electrically manipulated songs on this album, without the use of computer generation, the song would sound flat and empty.
Points of Authority- From the very beginning of the song, you here that sampling was being used to just record voices that were put into a phase vocoder. The vocals throughout the song were distorted and there are very clear synthetic arrangements that hold the song.
Papercut- The echo used in this song to add emphasis to the vocalist is the strength of the song. In the middle of the song there is actually a point where the bridge is a completely computerized recorded voice that had been heavily manipulated.
With You and Crawling- Both of these songs do not begin with vocals and are heavily computer generated but incorporates an electric guitar. Once the vocals begin, they are still covered with phase vocoders and voice-overs. The sounds are random but not atonal when the song begins, and the first 30 seconds is 100% computer generated. With You was written with The Dust Brothers, who brought in the Moog synthesizer, and they coupled the Moog sound with guitar and live drum. The influence of the Moog is heavy on Linkin Park's sound because of different bands that have been an influence on their musical arrangements.
However, there are also songs like One Step Closer and Runaway, where there is definitely computer generated sounds but the song is more on the rock side with physical instruments like guitars. It is harder to see this song as "electronica" because of the intensity of the multiple instruments being used and this song does not rely on the computer like many of Linkin Park's songs that use the computer to carry the entire tune.
In By Myself, the vocals are never without computer manipulation, where there is strong echo, vibrato, distortion, and equalization. The part of the song that really stands out to the listener is the different sounds created with the vocalist and the computer generation. There is a sudden and strong build that is only created with sporadic computer noises.
Of course, Cure for the Itch is the complete electronica song on this album. It was fully composed by Mr. Hahn, Linkin Park's turntablist DJ, which contains strong computer generated rifts, electric drum sets, and digital sampling. The song itself says that it's here to "teach a lesson in rhythm management" as a sampled voice recording is used in the first minute of the song. There are many complex layers, that really show the magnitude of Mr. Hahn's digital abilities. The mixture of electronic sounds with computer generated electronic acoustic melodies carry the song, which was completely created using electronic sources. It is the only song on this album that did not utilize any physical instruments.
This ability of Linkin Park to breach the mainstream style of heavy rock by incorporating such a strong amount of technosonic arrangements is an accomplishment. One the band began to distance itself from the electronic influence to become more acoustic, the sound and popularity of their album Minutes to Midnight dramatically decreased. This further shows the influence that the sound of the Moog synthesizer, electronic reverb, phase vocoders, and Mr. Hahn had on Linkin Park in Hybrid Theory. This is an amazing album! |

Greatest Album-Ever |
|
Being a loyal LP fan from day one I can conclude that this is by far the best of Linkin Park's three records and judging by the proclaimed history of the album, probably one of the best Alt Rock albums of the decade. The team of Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington pivot this genre to new heights providing catchy tunes and heavy riffs, this album will please those looking for good solid rock. Can't wait until the new album with a present late 2010 release date. |
