Linkin Park
Comment:
For all of the talk about rap-metal's rise in the late '90s, few acts aced its aggro-pop formula of head-on-collision chords, bloodletting lyrics, rabid rhymes, and scratchy breaks quite like Linkin Park. Beginning with their breakthrough singles "One Step Closer" and the GRAMMY®-certified "Crawling," the L.A. natives have always treated their tracks like the freshly tapped minds of a psych ward. On one extreme, there's the fleet-fingered turntable tricks and ambient techno trappings of DJ Joseph Hahn, bounced right off the bulletproof verses of MC Mike Shinoda; on the other, the searing/soothing singing of Chester Bennington, a perfect complement to the band's thrash-about backdrop. No wonder potential train-wreck project — a mash-up album, [i]Collision Course[/i]; remix compilation, [i]Reanimation[/i]; and laid-back Busta Rhymes collab, "We Made It" — have sounded effortless . . . like art projects cast in color-wheel beats and rhythms.
