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.
