* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The songs written when the band were known as Xero are more in an experimental hiphop vein with metal choruses. It wasn't really until Chester joined that the group used sung verses in songs - which would become more prevalent as time went on.

** Just over half the songs on Hybrid Theory were rewritten compared to its original demo. The Xero-era tracks "Rhinestone" (heard on Xero's demo tape) and "Esaul" (heard on LPU11) had substantially different lyrics to their final versions "Forgotten" and "A Place For My Head" respectively. The lyrics to "In The End" were almost completely rewritten compared to its demo "Untitled". Some of the lyrics in "Super Xero" (a leaked 1999 demo of "By Myself") were changed too. Entire sections were removed from "Points Of Authority" and "Crawling".
** The Hybrid Theory EP tracks "Carousel" and "Part Of Me" were remixed and revoiced for the purpose of including on a potential major label EP prior to the release of the Hybrid Theory album proper. This idea was scrapped early on, but two different proposed mixes of each can be heard on a couple of leaked in-house promos that predate the Hybrid Theory album (the later mix of "Carousel" was also used on "Hybrid Theory 20). These use the basic tracks of the originals, but with some sections changed. For example, the part about 2 minutes and 5 seconds into Carousel is completely different between the two, as is the middle 8 before the final chorus of "Part Of Me". "And One" also appears on the promos, but is the same version as the EP - the band did toy with a new arrangement of this song live, so it is possible they would have rerecorded it in this arrangement. Also, the track "Step Up [1999 Demo]" on the In The End single is the same recording as the Hybrid Theory EP but was remastered to sound slightly brighter than the original EP mix.

** ''Minutes to Midnight'' has a variation. After having nearly equal time with Chester in the first two albums, Shinoda was severely DemotedToExtra in ''Minutes to Midnight'', which is pure ArenaRock with Chester on most of the vocals. So when, after three songs where only Chester sings, you get to "Bleed It Out" and finally hear Shinoda rapping, it has this feel.

Linkin Park achieved mainstream success come the TurnOfTheMillennium as one of the most popular bands in NuMetal, with their debut album ''Music/HybridTheory'' and its follow-up ''Music/{{Meteora}}'' receiving some of the biggest success the genre has ever seen.

* BlackSheep: The song "Nobody's Listening" from ''Meteora'', with its creepy UsefulNotes/{{Japan}}ese flute, dark HipHop chorus, and seemingly random placing on the album. It's not surprising to know that the song was the last recorded and added to the album at the last minute. It would be re-recorded for Shinoda's solo project Fort Minor under the title Nobody's Listening (Green Lantern Remix), where it fit slightly better.
** By some extension, ''A Thousand Suns''. It is, at best, ''[[SerialEscalation weirder than most Linkin Park records]]'': more electronic based and more experimental than albums before it and albums after it.

Linkin Park achieved mainstream success come the TurnOfTheMillennium as one of the most popular bands in NuMetal, with their debut album ''Music/HybridTheory'' and its follow-up ''Music/{{Meteora}}'' receiving some of the biggest success the genre has ever seen.

* DigitalPiracyIsOkay: By contrast, members of the band have gone on record saying they really don't care if their songs are downloaded. When ''Minutes to Midnight'' was leaked, their only response was to advise people to listen to the tracks in order and ask that they buy the album anyway for all the non-musical stuff they put into it. Especially notable considering the actions of their label. The band themselves downloaded the Xero demo tape from a fansite so that they could relearn "Reading My Eyes" and play it live. In addition Shinoda acknowledged that "She Couldn't" leaked back in 2009 and whilst he said he couldn't legally talk about it (at the time; the song was officially released in 2020, eleven years later), "didn't" try to take the links down.

** Several songs from ''Hybrid Theory'' actually feature Chester rapping, most notably "Papercut" and "Forgotten". By the time ''Meteora'' rolls in, he would cement himself as the group's designated singer, with Mike handling the rapping verses.

** This was the entire point of Reanimation, with the songs rearranged as electronic hip-hop tracks with guest rappers and at times new lyrics from Mike. The most surprising example was "P*5ing Me Away" which, in addition to having a completely new chorus, has additional refrains written by the guest musician Stephen Richards of Taproot. The band even played this version live (one such performance is on Live In Texas).

** The Hybrid Theory EP tracks "Carousel" and "Part Of Me" were remixed and revoiced for the purpose of including on a potential major label EP prior to the release of the Hybrid Theory album proper. This idea was scrapped early on, but two different proposed mixes of each can be heard on a couple of leaked in-house promos that predate the Hybrid Theory album (the later mix of "Carousel" was also used on "Hybrid Theory 20). These use the basic tracks of the originals, but with some sections changed. For example, the part about 2 minutes and 5 seconds into Carousel is completely different between the two, as is the middle 8 before the final chorus of "Part Of Me". "And One" also appears on the promos, but is the same version as the EP - the band did toy with a new arrangement of this song live, so it is possible they would have rerecorded it in this arrangement. Also, the track "Step Up [1999 Demo]" on the In The End single is the same recording as the Hybrid Theory EP but was remastered to sound slightly brighter than the original EP mix.

UsefulNotes/{{Grammy Award}}s.



The band's name upon formation was Xero, but it was changed to Hybrid Theory after Bennington joined. Upon signing with Warner Bros. Records in 1999, the label advised them to change their name to avoid confusion with the British electronic group Hybrid. The inspiration for the name they switched to, the one you know today, was Santa Monica's Lincoln Park[[note]]now called Christine Emerson Reed Park[[/note]]; while they originally wanted to use the park's name as was, they tweaked the spelling to secure the domain "linkinpark.com".



While their music has been featured in dozens of films, Linkin Park has a particularly strong association with the ''[[Film/TransformersFilmSeries Transformers]]'' series. In addition to providing singles for the first three movies and the video game ''[[VideoGame/TransformersRiseOfTheDarkSpark Rise of the Dark Spark]]''[[note]]"What I've Done" for the first film, "New Divide" for ''Revenge of the Fallen'', "Iridescent" for ''Dark of the Moon'', and "Until It's Gone" for the game[[/note]], they collaborated with Steve Jablonsky and Music/HansZimmer on the score for ''[[Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen Revenge of the Fallen]]''. They are also a [[http://www.animemusicvideos.org/lists/usedmusic.php popular music source]] for [[FanVid anime music videos]], inevitably featuring {{shonen|Demographic}} series like ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' (and occasionally ''not''-so-shonen series, namely ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'').

In April 2020, Dave Farrell confirmed that the band had reunited and were working on new music; however, in 2022, Mike has stated that they are not in fact working on anything and are still on hiatus. That said, whether they will find a new member or stay the way they are now is still unknown.
