Linkin Park

Released: November 18, 2013

And you don't give a damn about the blood and sweat that I spilled
To make it so I'm standing right here
Bet you could bet your soul and your faith in God that I will
Not fold in the face of this fear
'Cause I won't be intimidated by you, pushed down and lied to
I'm not a fool or a punk
And you could try to bruise me and break me, please don't mistake me
See if I don't get right back up

Now, now see if I don't get right back up
Now, now see if I don't get right back up
Now, now see if I don't get right back up
Now, now see if I don't get right back up

It's something for your people on the block to black out and rock to
Give me what you need like papa, who shot ya
Separate the weak from the obsolete
You're meek, I creep hard on imposters
And switch styles on the dime, quick witted
Y'all quit tripping, I don’t have time for your crying
I grind tough, sucker, make your mind up
Are you in the firing squad or are you in the line-up?
Bang bang, little monkey man
Playing with the big guns only get you slain
I ain’t playing, I’m just saying
You ain’t got a sliver of a chance
I get iller, I deliver while you quiver in your pants
So shake shake down, money, here’s the break down
You can play the bank, I’mma play the bank take down
And no mistakes now, I’m coming to get ya
I’m just a Banksy, you’re a Brainwash
Get the picture? It's like that

Hybrid Theory isn’t just the title of Linkin Park’s chart-topping debut album, but a career mission statement.

From day one, the same six players (lead vocalist Chester Bennington, drummer/percussionist Rob Bourdon, guitarist Brad Delson, bassist Dave ‘Phoenix’ Farrell, DJ/Programmer Joe Hahn, and keyboardist, guitarist, and co-lead vocals Mike Shinoda) built the band by fusing all their favorite styles of music into one unmistakable signature sound. With each album, Linkin Park defiantly challenges themselves and their fans by blasting into new musical territory. After setting the template for rock that incorporated hip-hop influences with Hybrid Theory and Meteora, they shifted gears completely and defied expectations with the polychromatic Minutes to Midnight, and again with the esoteric A Thousand Suns, before melding a piece of them all into 2012’s LIVING THINGS. With their 2014 release and heaviest offering in years, The Hunting Party, Linkin Park manage to capture their ever-innovative spirit with a hunger seldom seen in bands on their seventh album. One More Light (2017) is an interesting personal album, filled with a lot of emotion.

Unfortunately, on July 20, 2017, Chester unexpectedly died by suicide, shocking and saddening both fans and his own band members alike.
