3. Reanimation -2001



This isn't a typical remix album. It feels like a natural extension to Hybrid Theory. What I like most is that Linkin Park, who just rose to fame, decided to share some of that by letting some underground groups remix their stuff. What came out of that is a very diverse, yet connected experience that enhances every song from Hybrid Theory, and one from their "EP", "High Voltage", plus a few other tracks made for this album. Reanimation takes just about all of the rock elements out and replaces them with a dark, hip-hop sound that is fun to play loud. Aaron Lewis( of Staind) and Jonathan Davis (of KoRn), are the most well known artists on here, and they have the best tracks. Jonathan's track, "1stp Klosr", takes the fast paced intensity of the original song and replaces it with a longer, more heavier ballad. They saved the best for last with Aaron's version of "KRWLNG". Cellos open the track, along with Aaron singing the chorus solo. Aaron and Chester duet later in the song, which brings chills to my spine. Two of my favorite modern singers on one track? Hell yes.
If I had one problem with this album, it's that some tracks are edited, and there is no uncensored versions of these songs (yet).
