YEAR: 2000

Hybrid Theory é o álbum de estreia do Linkin Park. É o mais vendido da banda até o momento; cerca de 24 milhões de cópias pelo mundo inteiro, sendo disco de diamante nos Estados Unidos (equivalente a 10 milhões de cópias vendidas somente neste país). Este álbum está na lista dos 200 álbuns definitivos no Rock and Roll Hall of Fame^.

Entre 1998 e 1999, este título era originalmente o nome da banda (anteriormente chamada Xero). No começo de 2000, por causa de uma marca registrada com os produtores galeses de música eletrônica Hybrid, eles mudaram o nome para "Linkin Park". O vocalista Chester Bennington passava dirigindo perto de um parque chamado Lincoln Park (agora Christine Reed Park, em Santa Mônica (Califórnia)) todos os dias após gravar, e sugeriu o nome. "Hybrid Theory" foi mantido como nome do álbum.

Linkin Park gravou este álbum sem seu baixista, Dave Farrell, que teve outros compromissos na época. As partes do baixo foram, na maioria das músicas, gravadas pelo guitarrista Brad Delson, mas a banda também contratou dois baixistas para as sessões. Ian Hornbeck toca baixo em três músicas, mais notavelmente em "Papercut", enquanto Scott Koziol toca baixo na qual se tornou o primeiro single americano da banda, "One Step Closer".

It starts with one

One thing

I don't know why

It doesn't even matter how hard you try

Keep that in mind

I designed this rhyme

To explain in due time

All I know

Time is a valuable thing

Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings

Watch it countdown 'till the end of the day

The clock ticks life away

It's so unreal

You didn't look out below

Watch the time go right out the window

Trying to hold on, to didn't even know

I wasted it all just to

Watch you go

I kept everything inside

And even though I tried

It all fell apart

What it meant to me will eventually

Be a memory of a time when

I've tried so hard

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

I had to fall

To lose it all

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

One thing, I don't know why

It doesn't even matter how hard you try

Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme

To remind myself how

I've tried so hard

In spite of the way you were mocking me

Acting like I was part of your property

Remembering all the times you fought with me

I'm surprised, it

Got so far

Things aren't the way they were before

You wouldn't even recognize me anymore

Not that you wouldn't knew me, back then

But it all comes back to me

In the end

You kept everything inside

And even though I tried

It all fell apart

What it meant to me will eventually

Be a memory

Of a time when

I've tried so hard

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

I had to fall

To lose it all

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

I've put my trust in you

Pushed as far as I can go

For all this

There's only one thing you should've known

I've tried so hard

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

I had to fall

To lose it all

But in the end

It doesn't even matter.
