Another underrated Linkin Park banger that might just not be for everyone
Linkin Park has a lot of underrated music and “By Myself” is on the top of that list. It takes a darker tone but is filled with clever effects and creative production to keep interesting. The song possesses a complex and layered structure with ups and downs that cleverly add to its musical value.

Just like its overall dark and intense sound, its lyrics also talk about something dark. The song is about feeling insecure, also while having to fight his battles alone. It is still a great tune with... Read more

A good song that burrows the recipe of songs like Crawling or By Myself but slightly underdelivers
Linkin Park has stuck to their signature combination of rap and rock with the ending track on Hybrid Theory, “Pushing Me Away.” While the song itself was nothing less than a great song, it is very similar to the sounds of Crawling and By Myself on the same album.

It talks about the narrator wanting to and forcing to continue an incompatible relationship and its lyrics could be relatable to some. However, it still lacked that distinctive sound that made other Linkin Park hits stand out. Nonethel... Read more

One of Linkin Park’s weaker songs that focuses on instrumentals and just doesn’t manage to make an impact
“Cure for the Itch” is probably the weirdest and arguably the worst track on Linkin Park’s debut album, Hybrid Theory. While it showcases the skills of Joe Hahn, the band’s DJ, it isn’t the type of song that you would want to come back to for seconds.

Talking about the musical value of the song, it has an interesting concept that has gone away from the rock genre. It solely focuses on a hip-hop-like instrumental with a lot of disk scratching that has aged horribly by today’s standards. However,... Read more

A great but very generic Linkin Park song that can easily be forgotten
“Forgotten” stayed loyal to Linkin Park’s iconic style and recipe, which eventually caused its own demise. While this track had everything you could ask for in a Linkin Park song, it sounded very generic and similar to other songs on the album.

Fun Fact: “Forgotten” is one of Linkin Park’s earliest songs written and used to be called “Rhinestone” on their “Xero demo tape.” It was later reworked to be added to Hybrid Theory.

The song has a greater deeper meaning behind it where the writer has... Read more

A darker Linkin Park tune that has a different and eerie vibe
“A Place for My Head” has a rather unusual sound to it when compared to most other Linkin Park songs. Its guitar riff and the melody of the song create a haunting and eerie atmosphere alongside the dynamic vocal interplay between Chester and Mike.

Just like the song’s melody, its lyrics also have a dark meaning where it describes how someone is frustrated with the people around them and is looking for a place where they aren’t manipulated or judged. This song is one of the best songs on the alb... Read more

One of Linkin Park’s greatest songs ever and it follows a moody vibe
Linkin Park’s “In the End” is one of their biggest hits and one of the most iconic songs on their discography. It has a very memorable sound with one of the best performances by Chester Bennington, followed by some great backing rapping by Mike. The track is more on the heavy side with intense power and emotion.

Just like the song’s name suggests, it talks about the futility of trying to build a relationship with an incompatible or uninterested partner. Many people can easily relate to its lyri... Read more

An underrated Linkin Park banger that went under the radar by not being a single
“Runaway” is a great song and one could even argue that it is on par with other hits on Hybrid Theory. It also follows Linkin Park’s recipe of melodic singing, heavy screaming, backing rap, electronic and rock sounds. However, it is also missing the secret ingredient that puts it on the level of the album’s hit singles.

“Runaway” has some cheesy lyrics that might not resonate with a lot of people but it more than makes up for it with its clean vocals and simple structure. It is also often compa... Read more

One of the greatest rock/metal songs of all time that set the bar for the unique Linkin Park style
The Grammy-winning rock anthem “Crawling” is one of the best and most successful songs of Linkin Park and the whole genre. The song has a great dynamic with one of the best performances by Chester and it is a really memorable song.

Just like the song’s haunting melodies, its lyrics also tell a dark story where the narrator is fighting with inner demons and self-hatred. It is truly a masterpiece that not only touched hearts with its emotional and powerful delivery but also defined Linkin Park’s... Read more

An almost perfect song with a catchy tune but overshadowed by accompanying tracks
“Points of Authority” deserved to be a single release alongside the album’s other singles because it is that good and catchy. Unfortunately, the song was overshadowed by other hits on the album. However, it was one of the most successful tracks on the album but it deserved more attention and recognition.

The song talks about an abusive relationship with an emotional and powerful picture. The vocals deliver the story and the emotions perfectly with some impressive flow from Mike Shinoda. The ve... Read more

A song loyal to the Linkin Park recipe but lacks the main secret ingredient
Following the iconic recipe of rap, metal, rock, and electronic, Linkin Park’s “With You” is another great song on their debut studio album, Hybrid Theory. The song is filled with emotion and great singing, but it is far from perfect. While Chester and Mike deliver a great performance as always with raw emotion, it is somehow missing that secret ingredient.

The song is mostly led by Mike with his rapping, backed by Chester’s singing in the chorus. Compared to other Linkin Park songs, “With You”... Read more
