| Topic | Rank the Tracks Week 63: Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory (+Folklore results) |
| CasanovaZelos 05/15/22 12:34:32 PM #7: | Linkin Park is a band I have always struggled to take seriously. Their music feels like someone trying way too hard to be cool, and the rapping sections really do not help. I feel like this might upset some, but they exist in the same mental sphere as Spice Girls for me, very much a product of their time. Yet, there's something that occasionally brings me back to their sound, and I think it is for the same reason Spice occasionally draws me back - there are few albums that capture their own time like this one, an unintended relic that paints a vibrant picture of a certain era. For better or worse, Hybrid Theory is compellingly itself. My point of comparison is usually Donnie Darko - drowning in young angst, but if you can only remember what it was like to be an angsty teenager, you can feel how effortlessly this works as a reflection.
