A head-banging number with a rich chorus and memorable guitar riffs. It's the song that introduced them to the world and did so with a bang!Crawling, the fifth track presents a dark, sullen intro that leads way to Chester's powerful vocals belting out the deep, emotional words of the song which were inspired by his struggle with substance abuse. He said in an interview with Noisecreep, "Crawling is about feeling like I had no control over myself in terms of drugs and alcohol". The song won an award for Best Rock Performance at the Grammy 2002 Awards.The eighth track, "In The End" is one of the most famous of the album. A piano intro leads way to heavy electronic drum beats and guitars while Mike Shinoda raps out the lyrics in perfect rhythm. It peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and was Billboard's most played rock song of the decade.Buy this Hybrid Theory audio CD at online store today!

Linkin Park is the best in rap rock
One of the Most cutting edge album of this century.....Linkin Park is the best in rap rock.....number 1 by me.perfect for metalheads and people who want to listen to rap rock....most under-rated song from this album?...... it would be 'A place for my head", it is one of the best songs by Linkin Park which perfectly described what they were back then..... new album was pretty rocking too.....check out 'The hunting party' by Linkin park for latest awesome songs by them.

Hybrid Theory - one of my favorites but nothing like listening to the original.
Hybrid Theory is Linkin Park's first album and have listened to it a lot. I liked it so much that I bought the original disc. Nothing like the original. All songs rock. Every song on Hybrid Theory is a brilliant masterpiece. My favorites include "Crawling", "In the end", "Point of Authority", "By myself" and most of the rest. Its a show stealer and a must have for Linkin Park fans and Rock fans.
