Reanimation

Reanimation is Linkin Park's second album. Recorded during the Hybrid Theory tour in 2001, it features heavily remixed songs from the Hybrid Theory album as well as previous LP material. Reanimation tends to be eschewed by many fans, consisting as it does of a great stylistic step away from Hybrid Theory. The titles of the songs are styled on the internet pop-culture language leet, using symbols, numbers, and unconventional spelling and grammar. Reanimation was very rap-styled, as opposed to Hybrid Theorys nu-metal format, which had Chester Bennington singing while Mike Shinoda rapped. Many of the tracks on Reanimation lacked this balance (Bennington's vocals were, on many tracks, scratched or removed entirely), however. Some fans also raised allegations of "crass commercialism" over the album's nature: as it was comprised mostly of remixes of the first album, some felt that the creative process was stilted, essentially repackaging the same material in an only subtly altered form.
