Although nu metal band Linkin Park has been around since the mid-1990s, their career-making success didn't come until 2000, with the release of their hit album HYBRID THEORY. MAXIMUM LINKIN PARK tells, through sound clips and narration, the story of the band's early years and meteoric climb to popular and critical acclaim.
Tracklist
Linkin Park
Californian sextet Linkin Park simultaneously took inspiration from and expanded upon the hybrid of heavy rock, hip-hop, and electronics that made such bands as Korn and Limp Bizkit so successful at the tail end of the 1990s. The band's 2000 debut HYBRID THEORY racked up both album sales and Grammy nominations, and won a widespread audience for Linkin Park's combination of hard rock guitar, turntablism, and rap, while neatly avoiding disparaging comparisons to the aforementioned rap-rock outfits. In 2004 they took their status as rap-rock kingpins to its logical summit and collaborated with Jay-Z for the album COLLISION COURSE, which debuted at number one. They have been scoring awards and soaring up the charts with consistency ever since, while still allowing room for growth and experimentation as a band.
