"[[Reading My Eyes]]" was taken from the ''[[Xero]]'' demo released in 1997.

<poem>
For "Crawling", Mike said, ''"So I always wrote my own raps but when it came to all of the singing parts, some songs I would write it, some songs he would write, and some songs we wrote together. But it was usually together. Even if I wrote a thing, which was pretty often, when I gave it to him, we'd go over it. Because I always wanted him to tweak words and make it his own, so when he sang it, his personality was in there. Now "Crawling" was the opposite, where he wrote a lot of those lyrics. He had written the line, "Fear is powerful" in the chorus. We were like (to our producer Don), "How do you like the new lyrics in the song so far?" and he's like, "It's good. I really like that song, "Fear is how I fall."" And we were both like, "Oh yeah, that line... he just heard it wrong. And he heard a really great line by accident. That was one of those things that later on down the line, that we learned to listen to a song and even if we were doing a scat vocal that didn't have real words, you could listen to someone just singing gibberish... you could hear real words in it and sometimes find good gems."''
 
''The other thing I'll say about "Crawling"... I didn't know at the time when we won a Grammy for "Best Rock Performance" for that song, I didn't know what "Best Rock Performance" meant when we won it. I thought it was like, "Best Rock Song" was what the award was for. But it was for the studio performance and it's a hundred percent because of the vocal. Like his vocal in that song... it was even hard for him to do some nights on tour and it's impossible for someone else to do it that well. I've never heard anyone else sing it that way... every other cover is a mere shadow of the Chester performance of the song."''

Template:Infobox album

Hybrid Theory (20th Anniversary Edition) is the 20th anniversary celebratory release of Linkin Park's debut album Hybrid Theory. It was released on October 9, 2020 through Warner Records, a rebranding of Warner Bros. Records after WMG's license to the "Warner Bros." name and shield logo with WarnerMedia expired.[1][2] Two songs were released in advance to promote the album: "She Couldn't" and "In The End (Demo)".

Background

In preparation for the 20th anniversary of Hybrid Theory, Linkin Park asked LP Underground members to send them material to be used in the celebration. An e-mail sent to the fan club on March 5, 2020 reads: "LP Street Soldiers, This year we are celebrating the 20th anniversary of HYBRID THEORY. We have some very special things planned throughout the year and want you to be a part of it. We’re looking for photos, videos, ticket stubs, merch, flyers, souvenirs and anything else you collected from the early days of the band in the late 90’s through the HYBRID THEORY era of 2000-2002. Some great examples include (but are not limited to) live concert footage and photos, pictures of band members and signed goodies from LPU meet and greets. All you have to do is click here and you will be taken to an upload site and asked to grant rights to Warner Records to use the content. Please upload by March 16, 2020."[3]

On March 24, 2020, Joe, Dave and Mike went live on YouTube to react to a previously unreleased live concert footage from 2001 recorded at the Canes Bar and Grill in San Diego.[4] The entire show was later uploaded to YouTube without the commentaries.[5]

Mike Shinoda was live on YouTube on April 1st and, in celebration of the album's 20th anniversary, he created an instrumental in the style of Hybrid Theory which was later released to LPU members.[6] He wrote, "Today I felt like making a Hybrid Theory / Meteora-inspired instrumental demo, and I wanted to give the final product to you in the LPU."

During another one of Mike Shinoda's streams, on April 13, he was questioned about the possibility of more LP Underground releases in the future to which he answered, "This year is the Hybrid Theory 20th anniversary so we are putting a lot of love into that. It'd be silly to like... we've released so many Hybrid Theory demos that I don't know that we have much more to do that with after the 20th anniversary release."[7] On the 23rd, he accidentally showed a Dropbox folder named "Masters For Review" with 12 files of Hybrid Theory demos, 10 of which had their names visible. They were "Dialate", "PB Edit 2020", "She Couldn't", "Could Have Been", "Reading My Eyes", "Rhinestone", "Esaul", "Stick N Move", "Carousel" and "Points of Authority".[8]

Mike Shinoda was a guest on the AWOLNATION Instagram Live on May 6th and mentioned that Linkin Park would be celebrating the 20th anniversary of Hybrid Theory with a release. "This year is the 20 year anniversary of Hybrid Theory. And we are doing a release for it and a celebration for it with the band and the fans. All of us have had to go back and watch stuff from that era. It is the cringiest stuff... I can't believe the things we were saying between songs. I was like "who is this guy?" Chester was talking like a wrestler, it was insane. I remember talking to Chester four or five years ago and we would argue about who was the most embarrassing person. But at the time, that was the shit. That's what we did."[9] On May 19, the band started selling Hybrid Theory inspired face masks to benefit COVID-19 relief.[10] On the 22nd, One Step Closer themed merch was added to Linkin Park's official store. They wrote, "In celebration of Hybrid Theory's 20th anniversary, we will be commemorating the album’s iconic singles with capsule collection releases throughout the year. First Up: One Step Closer".[11]

In late June, a leaked list of upcoming Funko POP! releases listed Hybrid Theory under "Pop! Albums: Linkin Park".[12] Pre-orders started in early August.[13]

Amidst promotion of his Dropped Frames albums in late July, Mike started teasing the Hybrid Theory anniversary. He told ABC News, "With the 20th anniversary celebration, I expect it to be pretty big. Not big in terms of numbers or sales or whatever. I just expect it...to feel good and be important to those of us who care about the record. It is the equivalent of having a big birthday. I wanna have a big party for it."[14] During a Kerrang! Face-To-Face interview, he revealed Linkin Park had been working closely with key people from throughout the band's history to celebrate the album's 20 years. "We’ve done our best to go to a lot of people who are family, in a sense, and say, ‘What do you think we should do? What would be a good celebration of Hybrid Theory?’ and try our best to do a bunch of those ideas."[15]

Jeff Blue, the band's A&R executive during the recording of Hybrid Theory, launched a pre-order for his book One Step Closer: From Xero to #1: Becoming Linkin Park, set for a December 8, 2020 release. The description reads: "This against-all-odds story chronicles the early days of Linkin Park, from their first demo and Whisky a Go Go performance as Xero, through their tireless efforts to perfect their iconic sound and the discovery of Chester Bennington. Jeff Blue was there when no one else believed—first as their publisher, then as their A&R guy. This is his memoir of that incredible journey."[16]

Marketing Campaign

On August 7, Linkin Park launched a new 2000's computer themed website on linkinpark.com. The band's first post asked, "Anyone know anything about 20 year old computers?"[17] The website was updated daily to reveal more information about the Hybrid Theory project, involving emails to and from band members and hidden clues placed across the site.[18][19] On each update, the band gave clues through social media on how to find the new content on the site.[20][21][22][23] By August 10, it had revealed the full tracklist Mike had leaked on in April on Twitch, with the last two demos being "Crawling" and "Super Xero". The site also included low quality or blurred pictures of early ideas for the Hybrid Theory cover art; the Hybrid Theory photoshoot in Pittsburgh; and Xero and Hybrid Theory (band) show flyers submitted by LPLive. The August 11 update was considered a bombshell by fans - it confirmed rumours that the "In Yourself Jam" played during the Rock Am Ring 2001 show is part of the long-awaited demo "Pictureboard".[24][25]

On August 12, Linkin Park confirmed an announcement coming for #HybridTheory20 on August 13 with an email from Joe on the website saying, "Hey guys I think we're all set. Let's drop the announcement tomorrow at 7am PST via WebMeeting."[26]

Starting on October 5, 2020, SiriusXM's "Turbo" (channel 41) was temporarily converted into "Linkin Park Radio" to celebrate the anniversary of the album.[27][28] "Dialate", "She Couldn't", "Could Have Been", "Reading My Eyes", "Rhinestone", "Carousel", "Points Of Authority" and "SuperXero" from the Forgotten Demos disc were played that day.[29]

Composition

The release of Hybrid Theory (20th Anniversary Edition) is composed of the original Hybrid Theory studio album, the Reanimation remix album, the Hybrid Theory EP, a compilation of b-sides from singles released in 2000-2002 titled B-Side Rarities, a compilation of LPU tracks dating from 1997-2002 titled LPU Rarities, a demo CD featuring previously unreleased demos, a replica of the Linkin Park Sampler Street Team cassette tape, a replica of the Frat Party At The Pankake Festival DVD, a second DVD with Linkin Park's full performances at The Fillmore and Rock Am Ring from 2001 and a third DVD featuring live and behind the scenes footage from the Projekt Revolution Tour 2002. The collection sums up to a total of 80 tracks.


Hybrid Theory EP

As part of the "Super Deluxe Box", Hybrid Theory EP was issued for the very first time in vinyl format. Contrary to the other vinyls in the set, it wasn't available in CD format. However, it was included in the digital version of the 20th anniversary collection, making the EP available to the general public for the first time. Up to that point, it was available exclusively in digital format (since the CD was long out of print) and only to LP Underground members.


Hybrid Theory

Hybrid Theory is the full-length album without any additional music. All the bonus tracks for the album released in the past were included on B-Side Rarities and LPU Rarities with the exception of the live version of "High Voltage" recorded in Wantagh on August 09, 2001, which was in the 2013 deluxe edition of the album on iTunes.[30]


Reanimation

Reanimation is the remix album of Hybrid Theory songs and b-sides.

The bonus track "Buy Myself (Manson Remix)" is found on B-Sides Rarities, but the other bonus tracks for the album, live versions of "My December" and "One Step Closer", aren't present in the Hybrid Theory 20th anniversary set. This is likely due to these b-sides being originally released respectively in the Meteora singles Somewhere I Belong and Faint before becoming digital bonus tracks on Reanimation.


B-Side Rarities

Besides tracks from Linkin Park singles, the B-Side Rarities compilation features the album version of "It's Goin' Down", a collaborative single between The X-Excutioners, Mike Shinoda and Joe Hahn recorded and released in 2001. This is the first time the studio version of this song is included in a Linkin Park release. It's also the first time "One Step Closer (Rock Mix)" is released in any form outside of the United States. The track was taken from the "One Step Closer" radio single released in the US in 2000.

The live tracks recorded at the Docklands Arena in London, England on March 24, 2001 are listed in a different order from their original release. "Papercut" was the first track, released on the eponymous single, followed by "Points Of Authority" and "A Place For My Head", respectively, in the "In The End" single. They were listed in this same chronological order in the In The End: Live & Rare Japanese CD. The track "Step Up (1999 Demo)", taken from the "In The End" single as well, is exactly the same as "Step Up" from Hybrid Theory EP, making it appear twice in the tracklist on digital stores, but only once on the CDs.

"High Voltage" is also listed here in a different order from the "One Step Closer" import single and the "In The End" Japanese EP, being placed before "Step Up" instead of being after "My December". The same happens with "In The End" from the BBC performance, which was placed before "Points Of Authority" instead of after it.

"Buy Myself (Marilyn Manson Remix)" wasn't taken from a Hybrid Theory single, but from the Pts.Of.Athrty single. It is a Reanimation outtake.


LPU Rarities

For the first time, the LPU Rarities tracks were released to a broader audience through mainstream digital stores and streaming services. Previously, they were available exclusively to members of Linkin Park's official fan club, the LP Underground. "Hurry", "Grr" and "Chair" were previously only available as digital downloadable bonus tracks for LP Underground 15, so this was also the first time these tracks were issued in physical format. Due to a mistake, "Hurry" and "Chair" were incomplete in both digital and physical versions. They ended abruptly after 31 and 30 seconds respectively.[31][32] This was fixed in digital stores and streaming platforms on October 9, but nothing was said about the physical CDs.

While the compilation is intended to collect all the Hybrid Theory-era material released to the LPU between 2002 and 2016, it is missing the 1998 demo "Pods". This is likely due to the fact that this instrumental was an art project Mike Shinoda created for college and was never meant for Linkin Park.[33] "My December" from LP Underground 2.0 was also omitted from this collection and included on B-Side Rarities instead. The song was released as a b-side to the "One Step Closer" single in 2001, a year before it was released to the LPU.

Besides demos from 1997-1999, LPU Rarities includes the Reanimation outtake "Pts.Of.Athrty (Crystal Method Remix)" and two live tracks recorded at the Docklands Arena in London, England on September 16, 2001 for a cancelled live DVD. This was the second time the "Points Of Authority" remix was released outside of the LPU; the first time being the Mastered For iTunes deluxe edition of Hybrid Theory released in 2013.[30]


Forgotten Demos

The Forgotten Demos features 12 demos dating all the way back to the Xero days up to the Hybrid Theory sessions. This means not all of them feature vocals by Chester Bennington.[34] The tracks labeled "Xero Demo" have Mark Wakefield on vocals,[35] making this the first official Linkin Park release with him. All of the tracks were previously unreleased by Linkin Park, but not all of them were entirely new or unheard of. The titles "Dialate" and "Could Have Been" were the only ones completely unknown to fans. Two of the songs in this collection were known about by the community for years, but they remained unreleased due to samples: "Pictureboard" and "She Couldn't". Kyle Christner is credited for providing addtional bass on the disc.

"Dialate" is an early cassette demo created by Mark Wakefield and Mike Shinoda, possibly from 1997. It samples "Meth vs. Chef" by Method Man featuring Raekwon.

"Pictureboard" was first mentioned by Mike Shinoda during an LPU chat and 2005 and, in the aftermath, became of the most hyped up unreleased songs by Linkin Park. After years of requests from fans, the band decided to release it in the LP Underground 9: Demos CD, but it had to be removed at the last minute.[36][37] Shinoda later explained this happened because of samples used in the song.[38] The outro drum loop in the song was taken from "I'm Gonna Love You Just A Little More Baby", written by Barry White[39] and performed by Jimmy Smith. A version with Mark Wakefield on vocals eventually found its way online in 2019,[40] but the version on Forgotten Demos is the one originally meant for the LPU, with vocals by Chester Bennington.[41]

The other track is "She Couldn't". This song had originally found its way online in 2009 after a demo CD was auctioned on eBay.[42] The CD contained tracks from Linkin Park's canceled 8 Song EP under the name Hybrid Theory. However, the CD suffered from static as the initial pressing was faulty.[43] Forgotten Demos brought a quality upgrade to the song. It was mastered by Brian Gardner, with the original mix by Mike Shinoda being preserved.[44] The vocal sample of Mos Def was cleared for the release.[45] Artwork for the 8 Song EP can be found in the book included in the Super Deluxe Box. Jeff Blue can be seen listening to the EP on Lockout.[46]

"Could Have Been" is an early 1999 demo recorded when Chester first joined the band. Their bass player at the time was Kyle Christner, who plays a bass solo at the end of the song.[47]

"Reading My Eyes" was taken from the Xero demo released in 1997. Mike was previously asked about doing a remaster of the tape but he revealed the songs were recorded straight to cassette, so the versions online were "almost definitely the highest quality versions."[48] Nevertheless, this track was mastered from the original cassette demo and has better sound quality and less tape hiss than any of the existing rips online. It wasn't mixed or re-mixed.[49]

After their debut live performance as Xero, Jeff Blue gave the band a development deal with a little financial support from Zomba Music Group, which allowed them to buy new instruments and equipment in order to get a decent recording and a better show.[50] "Rhinestone" is an earlier version of the "Forgotten" demo on the LPU Rarities disc and was recorded with Mark Wakefield on vocals after the deal with Zomba. The track had first appeared on the New Music Sampler 1999 issued in 1998 by Zomba! Music Services which led to this exact demo being featured in the TV series The Crow: Stairway To Heaven.[51][52]

"Esaul" is very similar to its LPU Rarities counterpart. The main difference being the lead singer. Despite it being one of the first songs the band ever wrote, back in 1996,[53] "Esaul" wasn't included in the Xero cassette tape. This was the first time fans were presented to a recording of the song with Mark Wakefield. Like, "Rhinestone", it was recorded in 1998, after the Zomba deal.

In contrast, "Stick N Move" is the first version to be released with Bennington on vocals. The only other known vocal version of the song at the time was the one from the Xero cassette, which was recorded with Wakefield. According to Mike Shinoda, it was a popular song at their early shows but it was dismissed by producer Don Gilmore and had elements reworked into "Runaway" during the Hybrid Theory sessions.[54] The beat from this demo was in the Hybrid Party Of A Thousand Things leak from August 2019 under the title "Stick2".

The demo of "Carousel" was originally found by fans in the same demo CD as "She Couldn't" in 2009[55] and three years later it was found in a different CD titled Demos From 02-2000. Unlike the other, this second CD didn't suffer from static.[56]

The demo of "Points Of Authority" was originally available for free download on the band's official website shortly after they changed their name to Linkin Park[57] and was also found by fans on a demo CD dating from April 25, 2000.[58][59] This demo differs from the LPU Rarities version for already having a structure similar to the final product, with a chorus sung by Chester Bennington instead of rapped by Mike Shinoda. While the lyrics in the verses and chorus are the same as the album version, the rap lyrics in the intro and bridge are notably different.

"Crawling" and "SuperXero" were taken from the Hybrid Theory CD titled Demos, which dates from January 7, 2000,[60] and contains the most widespread demos in the Linkin Park community. The first high quality rip of this demo made its way online in 2004,[61][62] but none of them had ever received an official release by Linkin Park.


DVDs

The Fillmore 2001 was filmed during the Street Soldiers Tour, Linkin Park's first headlining tour, in San Francisco, California on January 30, 2001. A 21 minutes documentary was originally broadcasted in 2001 and included interviews with the band, crew and fans as well as full live performances of "With You" and "One Step Closer" and short clips of "Pushing Me Away", "And One", "Runaway", "Forgotten", "Points Of Authority" (featuring Ryu and Tak from Styles Of Beyond) and "By Myself". "A Place For My Head" (not included in the broadcast) features Stephen Richards from Taproot. The full show was previously unreleased.

Rock Am Ring 2001 isn't previously unseen footage. The complete performance was broadcasted live by WDR in 2001 and since then has become a popular and cherished show from the Hybrid Theory era among fans. It was, however, the first time any portion of the show received an official release by Linkin Park. As a result, this DVD brought the first official live releases of "And One", "Sweet Child O' Mine" and an unique short performance of the legendary "Pictureboard".[63] The last two are unlisted in the DVD tracklist, but "Sweet Child O' Mine" is acknowledged in the liner notes.

The release of these shows marked the first time in Linkin Park's history that an entire and unedited show was included in one of the band's DVDs. Live In Texas (2003) was created from footage of two different shows; Collision Course (2004) features only the songs with Jay-Z; Road To Revolution: Live At Milton Keynes (2008) had three songs removed from the main film and included as hidden content unlocked after watching the concert; the A Thousand Suns+ (2011) DVD had "Wisdom, Justice, And Love" removed due to licensing issues with the Martin Luther King Jr. family; and the Living Things+ (2013) and The Hunting Party (2014) DVDs were composed of incomplete footage previously broadcasted on TV.

The Projekt Revolution 2002 disc includes an hour of unseen live footage from Las Vegas and San Diego, plus a sequel to Frat Party At The Pankake Festival, titled The Sequel To The Worst Name We've Ever Come Up With, with previously unavailable backstage footage and interviews.[64] This marked the first release of "My Own Summer (Shove It)" and "Mr. Hahn Solo", which contains elements of "High Power Rap" by Disco Dave And The Force Of The Five MCs. It's also the first full-length live release of "It's Goin' Down".[65] The show features guest appearances by DJ Z-Trip, Mark Chavez of Adema, B-Real and Sen Dog of Cypress Hill, and DrunknMonkey crew members Riff Raff, Ivan The Urban Action Figure and Giovanni. The audio of "Step Up" and "My December" from the San Diego show was previously released in the "Somewhere I Belong" single.

Kerrang! Track By Track

For the Hybrid Theory (20th Anniversary Edition), Kerrang! Magazine did a track-by-track with Linkin Park of each song on the original album.

For "Crawling", Mike said, "So I always wrote my own raps but when it came to all of the singing parts, some songs I would write it, some songs he would write, and some songs we wrote together. But it was usually together. Even if I wrote a thing, which was pretty often, when I gave it to him, we'd go over it. Because I always wanted him to tweak words and make it his own, so when he sang it, his personality was in there. Now "Crawling" was the opposite, where he wrote a lot of those lyrics. He had written the line, "Fear is powerful" in the chorus. We were like (to our producer Don), "How do you like the new lyrics in the song so far?" and he's like, "It's good. I really like that song, "Fear is how I fall."" And we were both like, "Oh yeah, that line... he just heard it wrong. And he heard a really great line by accident. That was one of those things that later on down the line, that we learned to listen to a song and even if we were doing a scat vocal that didn't have real words, you could listen to someone just singing gibberish... you could hear real words in it and sometimes find good gems."

The other thing I'll say about "Crawling"... I didn't know at the time when we won a Grammy for "Best Rock Performance" for that song, I didn't know what "Best Rock Performance" meant when we won it. I thought it was like, "Best Rock Song" was what the award was for. But it was for the studio performance and it's a hundred percent because of the vocal. Like his vocal in that song... it was even hard for him to do some nights on tour and it's impossible for someone else to do it that well. I've never heard anyone else sing it that way... every other cover is a mere shadow of the Chester performance of the song."

The UK version of the box set have the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) rating printed on the DVD discs.

Pressing Errors

Super Deluxe Box

There are several pressing errors in the EU version of the Super Deluxe Box. The Fillmore 2001 and Rock Am Ring 2001 shows are in the Frat Party At The Pankake Festival disc while the Frat Party At The Pankake Festival content is in the The Filmmore 2001 / Rock Am Ring 2001 disc; Mike's lithograph is pixelated; and the Projekt Revolution 2002 backstage pass wasn't laminated. These problems aren't present in the US version.[68][69][70][71][72][73] The lithograph is pixelated in the US version as well but the EU version reportedly looks worse.[74] Additionaly The US version has a strap / pull tab in the box to pull out all the items, but the EU version doesn't have it.[75][76]

There are errors in the credits of every pressing of the Hybrid Theory EP vinyl. Mike Shinoda isn't credited for producing and mixing "Technique (Short)"; instead, he is credited for "And One" twice. Phoenix is credited for writing "Carousel" and "Technique" despite him not being in the band at the time these songs were created.

In the credits of B-Side Rarities, both in the book and back of the CD, it is written that "Papercut (Live At Docklands Arena, London)" (track 11) was taken from the "In The End" single, but it's actually taken from the "Papercut" single. Still according to the credits, the three Docklands Arena tracks on this disc were recorded on September 16, 2001, but they were actually recorded at an earlier show on March 24, 2001 at the same venue. On "My December", Joe Hahn is credited for additional ProTools, but this was actually done by Joe Hand, a producer from Nashville.

The tracklist of Forgotten Demos has the song titles written in bold while the notes in regular font, but the last two letters of "Points Of Authority" and the final letter of "Crawling" are written in regular font.[77] On B-Side Rarities, the same problem happens in the last letter of "A Place For My Head" and "Buy Myself Remix".

"Hurry" and "Chair" are incomplete in every CD of LPU Rarities.

There was at least one report of the on disc 2 of the Reanimation vinyl being switched. The tracks from side 1 were pressed on side 2 and the tracks from side 2 were pressed on side 1.[78]

Hybrid Theory Vinyl

A test pressing was issued both in the Vinyl Box and Super Deluxe Box. The inner ring of the vinyl presents a "!" etched onto it. This is a symbol often used in the mixing and mastering process to indicate that a mix is "too hot" and should be reduced to -6dB before mastering. There is a lot of clipping in the vocals, drums and guitars.[79]

Deluxe CD

The booklet was advertised as having a 16 page booklet, but it comes with a 12 page booklet instead.[80]

The booklet insert doesn't have the "]" after "[Hybrid Theory".

On the track list on the back, all titles are written in bold lettering while the descriptions are not. However, on Track 2, "It's Goin' Down", the last letter of Mr Hahn's name is in bold while the rest of his name isn't.[81]

Delivery Problems

Several fans reported delivery delays of orders from the official Warner Music / Linkin Park stores, order status' weren't updated and messages to the customer support have gone unanswered.[82] Packages were still arriving through the rest of 2020.[83][84][85][86][87][88]

Replacements

On October 23, 2020, Linkin Park announced they would provide replacements of the mislabeled DVDs, the laminate and Mike Shinoda's lithograph to fans who purchased the European pressing of the Super Deluxe Box Set as well as digital downloads of corrected versions of "Hurry" and "Chair".[89] No corrected version of the LPU Rarities CD was issued,[90] meaning the corrected tracks remain unreleased in physical format. There was also no replacement for the Hybrid Theory vinyl. The error in the vinyls was only noticed by fans four days after the replacement announcement. The replacement items were taken from the US pressing and because of this, the lithograph is darker but still pixelated.[91][92]

Digital

  • Digital download with Hybrid Theory, Reanimation, Hybrid Theory EP, B-Side Rarities, LPU Rarities and Forgotten Demos.
