HYBRID THEORY | Record of a Generation part 1 | 1996 - 2000

On 24th of October Linkin Park's debut album Hybrid Theory has turned 20 years old. A meaningful album for the group and millions of people around the world that were touched by the efforts of Linkin Park. The album has been influential to many bands for the past 20 years and managed to transcend boundaries of genres and people's perception of music in general. The release of 20th anniversary edition of Hybrid Theory gave me a good reason to dig deep into what made this album so impactful. This is part 1, where we get a little bit of an introduction into the band and the hardships the band had to deal with leading up to the release of Hybrid Theory.
