I used to have this CD and it was misplaced along the years. I love IN THE END. It is so great to hear that song again. Downloads just aren't the same.

Linkin Park is an internationally acclaimed "diamond" selling rock band so I don't think I need to say anything about them, though this was their first major studio album. It's a bit of a mix of grunge, emo and alt rock. It features four of their most well known songs, those being One Step Closer, In The End, Papercut, and Crawling. Definitely worth picking up!

Linkin Park puts together two genres of music mixing Hip-Hop and Alternative Rock. Linkin Park's rapper Mike Shinoda adds in his smart and creative style clearing stating things on his mind. I have never heard Mike talk about drugs and violence as most of todays artists do. Yes I do call them artists because of Mike. Chester Bennington (the lead vocalist) knows how to use his voice well and can write lyrics that are very emotional. The who Linkin Park band write inspiring and motivational lyrics that are creative and I recommend them for anyone rock or hip-hop fan.
This may be the best cd I ever bought. Linkin Park is very talented, and they use that talent well. This is really the album that started Linkin Park world-wide fame. Chester Bennington's screams, rasps, and some much softer vocals are perfectly coupled with Mike Shinoda's skillful raping. (its so hard to find skilled rap vocalist now days) The heavy guitar riffs only add to the great overall sound of this album, and I can hardly think of a way to make it better. Here is a quick rateing and description of this albums tracks. 1.Papercut 10/10 A great start to the album. Papercut is a upbeat song about paranoia, full of lots of Mike's raping combined with some raping from Chester in the chorus. And a great harmony at the end. 2.One Step Closer 10/10 Who doen't love this song. This is a heavy, Chester-led song, with heavy guitar riffs, and the poetic screaming of SHUT UP!!!, SHUT UP!! SHUT UP WHEN IM TALKING TO YOU!!!. (the best part of the song) 3.With You 9/10 Not as hard as one step closer, but an overall strong song. This is another great combo. of Mikes raping, and some mostly more relaxed vocals from chester. 4. Points of Authority 10/10 A deeply rap-hip hop title, howwever chesters vocals are still present. The intrumentals are very techno-electronica in nature, combined with fast guitar sounds. 5. Crawling 10/10 This grammy winning song is one of the best on the album. This song perfectly combines hard and softer vocals from chester, creating a feel i havn't experienced in any other song. 6. Runaway 9/10 A song about wanting to run away, one line states, "I wanna run away, and open up my eyes". Another great overall song. 7. By Myself 8/10 A great song full of chesters sometimes unrecegonizable screams. (gotta love those). 8. In the End 10/10 Probably the best song on the album. This is one off the songs that really put Linkin Park on the map. 9. A Place for My Head 10/10 Probably the heavyest song on the album, as stated in the unrelenting screaming of "YOU TRY TO TAKE THE BEST OF ME, GO AWAY!!!! Which is repeted several times. 10. Forgotten 10/10 A great combo of some slower raping, with chesters great emotion filled vocals. I cant help but listening to this over and over again. 11. Cure For The Itch 7/10 Starts out a little different, with a voice saying, something about a very special guest, Mr. Hahn. (Mr. Hahn is Joe Hahn, a member of the band) Then, its mostly instrumental wiht only a few words, 12. Pushing Me Away 10/10 A great ending to the album. This has some of chesters softer vocals, with som raping from Mike. Its as the title says, is about being pushed away from those you love. Overall Rateing, 10/10. Definitely worth buying, And I would get the special version, wich includes My December, 10/10, and High Voltage, 9/10, along with a live version of Papercut, 10/10, (papercut is always better live) trust me.Read full review
