![]() Track List: LINKIN PARK - Reanimation (2002) Band: Linkin Park Album: Reanimation Genre: Rock Alternative Years: 2002. Linkin Park is a rock band from Los Angeles playing alternative rock. The group was founded in 1996 by classmates Mike Shinoda and Brad Delson. In spite of the limited finances, the band started recording several songs in Shinoda's bedroom, their first studio. After multiple refusals of labels to cooperate, the original singer Mark Wakefield made up his mind to seek his fortune in another band. It took the group a while to find a new vocalist. His unique voice made a deep impression on the other members. As he had agreed to join the band, it was called Hybrid Theory. The young men went into troubles with the other band under the same name charging them with a copyright infringement. Thus, they called themselves Linkin Park. In 1999, Linkin Park managed to get a contract with Warner Bros. In a year, they released their debut album Hybrid Theory, featuring the material accumulated for many years. This album was a good seller with 4 million and 800,000 copies sold for the first year and earned then Grammy as the best rock album of the year. The record included such chart-toppers as Crawling, One Step Closer, and In the End the video for the latter, broadcasted by MTV, was proclaimed the video of the year. This album has remained the most successful one in the band's discography. By today, more than 10 million copies of this record have been sold. In 2001, Linkin Park toured the USA having many performances together with famous rappers, and also participated in Ozzfest. Overall, they gave 320 concerts for that year and released DVD Frat Party at the Pankake Festival. In addition, Linkin Park recorded Reanimation, a collection of remixes. Meteora, Linkin Park's second album, was produced in 2003 to lead the Billboard chart as the most distributed record. The videos for Somewhere I Belong, Breaking the Habit, and Numb occupied MTV and top positions of the charts. The album earned a number of rewards: MTV reward for the best video (Somewhere I Belong) and Radio Music Awards for the best song (Numb). Involving rapper Jay-Z, Linkin Park produced acclaimed remixes for Numb, Faint, One Step Closer, and Lying from You. However, contrary to the praising feedbacks of the experts, this record did not achieve the debutante's fame. This album followed the music style of its predecessor. Linkin Park created an awesome mixture of nu-metal, rap-rock together with touches of electronic and alternative music. ![]()
