Customer Reviews:

Awsome.......2003-09-11

When I got this CD ,I listened to it like ten times. It was great . I mean just Runaway and A Cure for the Itch make it awsome. Seriously this and Meteora are definatly CDs to buy if you already don't have it .

Love these guys!.......2003-03-24

These guys are the only good rap-metal group out there. You should get this one along with their new one Meteora.

This is one of the best.......2003-03-21

All I can say is that these guys have combined it all. Melody, rap, rock, lyrics, and the list can go on and on. If you want to listen to something that will give you the energy, or something that you can put in your cd player when everything else is overplayed, these guys will take care of that. Every song on this CD is of absolute quality, including the bonus tracks. One of the most positive items regarding this album is that they do not swear, therefor, you do not have to worry about your children getting any thoughts or ideas in their head, and blame it on the music. This group is about as real as you can get, and have a good point to their music. It is not just about coming up with what goes well, but have a theme to each track. I highly recommend this album, to all. I have parents who like to listen to them, and they are a primary listener to Classic Rock. A++++++ all the way.

5 Star Album; 4 Star Bonus Tracks.......2002-10-04

Ok, to start off this review, I'll correct what Amazon put: there is NO bonus disc on this. Only 2 bonus tracks, "My December" and "High Voltage". Now that that's clear, let's move on...

Linkin Park's debut album, "Hybrid Theory", was the best-selling album of 2001, and my favorite album, ever. I liked every song, so I had to buy this album. I payed 35 ... dollars for 2 songs. Stupid? Yes. But, at the time, I didn't have a CD-burner, and I didn't know that the "One Step Closer" single also had the 2 bonuses, for 1/3 the price. But, I bought it, and I'm happy. Let's start off with "High Voltage", shall we? I give it a 4/5. Why not a 5? Because I HATE rap. I can stand rap-rock, which is what you will find on every track on the normal album. But, this is almost a straight-up rap song. Chester hardly sings (the part where he does is the best part in the whole song), and the only music is coming from the turntables. But, for some reason, instead of giving this a 2 or a 3 (or even a 0), I give it a 4. Not to suck up to LP, but because I like it, even after all I just said. Now for "My December". It's the more popular bonus track, and if you've ever seen Linkin Park live, you've probably heard this song, because they more-than-often play it. And, like "High Voltage", it's not typical Linkin Park. In this one, Chester pretty much sings the whole song. And, also like the last one, there's no member of the band playing their instruments except Joe Hahn. In this one, he makes his "beats", but it's also covered with a beautiful piano. I don't know if it's because I got it around Christmas or what, but, for some reason, this song DOES remind you of it. 5/5, b!tch.

Hybrid Theory (+2 Bonus Tracks) [Import].......2002-08-02

Although I don't own this specific CD, I have heard the 2 additional tracks that it offers. After hearing those songs all I have to say is, wow! This is one of the best CDs I have ever purchased. You can listen to it over and over again and never get sick of it. With the smooth lyrics of Mike Shinoda and the screaming, yet strangely calm voice of Chester Bennington, everyone will be satisfied. Their combination of hip-hop, rock and electronica help to give the CD a great balance of form and function which will keep you hooked for hours on end.

I must say that "My December" and "In The End" are my favorite songs. "My December" steps away from the hardcore rock sound and adds that soothing, kick-back tone that will relax you yet also force you to put your CD player on repeat. One of my other favorite tracks is "Cure For The Itch", a song that any true hip-hop/turntablist fan will love. And for anyone that doesn't understand the name of the song, think about...how do you cure and itch? Scratch it, which is exactly what this track is, scratching!
