Product Description

Reanimation is the evil twin of Linkin Park's 2000 debut, Hybrid Theory. While plotting their next studio album, the Southern California band enlisted some of aggro rock's leading lights, as well as some of the more enlightened underground MCs and producers, to slice and dice all the songs on their debut (including a few bonus cuts that made it to their Japanese release). Linkin Park allowed their special guests--including Korn's Jonathan Davis, Staind's Aaron Lewis, Orgy's Jay Gordon, the Roots' Black Thought, and Jurassic 5's Chali 2NA--to run riot through their songbook, tweaking melodies, writing new lyrics and sometimes changing the entire intent of the originals. As a result, this collection of 20 songs is Mr Hyde to Hybrid Theory's Dr Jekyll.
Most of Linkin Park's atmospheric and melodic moments have ended on the cutting-room floor--along with the self-consciousness that pervaded many of the songs--replaced with a brash impudence that's more rap than rock. Chali 2NA entirely changes the landscape on "Forgotten", shape-shifting the song into an alien being dubbed "Frgt/10", which takes you to a dark, desolate place with only your own disturbed thoughts and some electronic bleeps for company. And that's enough. This is a masterful art project that truly succeeds. --Jaan Uhelszki

Well load your gun and shoot me dead, because really must be the best album I have ever heard!! I got my new Linkin Park album and listened to it beginning to end, and stayed gobsmacked throughout the whole of the sixty-odd minutes that the album goes on for, but trail on into a blurr does it not! Its like going on a rollercoaster, they cleverly start you off smoothly with the opening and rush you straight into the hard linkin park style that everyone knows as points of authority. I must say the 2 main reasons I bought the album for were that I loved Hybrid Theory, and I loved the remix of points of authority by Jay Gordon, but now I have the album, I don't really listen to that because the others are just to good!!
When you hear the opening you think ahh this is cool, this is smooth. It reminded me of the film braveheart at first, as you hear Pheonix showing off his ultimate talents on the violin and cello, hes not just a hard-rocking bass player you know. I must say that the only track I was dissapointed with was pushing me away, as the original was amazing, but they just ruined it in the mix, although I am not saying that because of Stephen Richards, the profoundidly famous singer of Taproot, one of my favorite bands. There is only properly 15 tracks to listen to on the album, but that still sure is a whole lot! Each track continuously loops onto the next, and the other 5 sub-tracks help this happen.
The album can't really be related to any others, as to me it is a whole new genre of music and rythme. But I will say if you liked the hit with the executioners then you will definately like this. My personal favorites must be plc.4 mie haed, ppr:kut, and by_myslf, but I would say the best track on the album is KRWLNG.... Read more ›

Ths album is a must for more or less everyone. I discovered Linkin Park whilst listening to Kerrang on a Tuesday after school. And I was shocked to find that practically all my friends couldn't stand them. So I brought the album and forced them to listen to it.
It has something for everyone Hip Hop, Rock or electronic. Most people would say 'Well yeah but that don't make it good now do it?' I would seriously disagree. To display so many different types of music on one album after having some bloody brilliant artists run riot with your lyrics, its just great. I can't take the CD out of my Walkman 'cause at the moment, Linkin Prk rule.

The original was excellent, Linkin Park stood out from the nu-metal invasion with distinctive melodious tracks blended with infectious heavy riffs. Like all other mesmerised music fans, buying the Reanimated version was a natural decision, especially when hearing the superior production of the 'Pillars of Autonomy' remix.
However, initially the record was disappointing. There was no big-beat-electronica-breakbeat-drum'n'bass mixes that the original was so crying out for. Instead, the tracks were mildly laced with mainstream hip hop beats, propped up by weak rap vocalists.
Yet after a few listens - like a chinese wok (probably) the record does got better and provides an adequate stop gap. Highlights have to be 'My December' which has been transformed to an uplifting quasi-dance track whilst 'Runaway' is given the traditional heavy bass and big drum treatment, spendid work as some might say. On the whole, the remixes aren't groundbreaking but they're pleasant enough and will keep the Linkin Park fan happy until new materal comes out.
It makes you wonder though of how the record would sound if the likes of the Chemical Brothers or Jon Carter were allowed to tamper with the originals.

The concept of 'Reanimation' is an interesting one,
Obviously remix album's are nothing new, but it is quite rare to find an album like this- brilliant on so many levels.
produced by the highly talented Mike Shinoda, he brings together an amazing body of work from a variety of different producers who interpret 1999's 'Hybrid Theory' in their own way. The results are fantastic, proving Linkin Park's ability to expand their sound from radio friendly rock.
Reanimation sit's somewhere in between electronica, rock and hip-hop, it's this diversity that makes for such an interesting album.
The film scoresque 'opening' creates the mood, deep cello, violin and piano mould together to create a haunting atmosphere, as the outro fades out 'PTS.OF.ATHRTY' fades in, taking the original to a whole new level it's five minutes of tearing guitars, explosive electronic sounds and vocals that have been manipulated to sound twisted and robotic. also check out the video of this track on your computer, equally as explosive!
Next up is 'ENTH E ND' Kutmasta Kurt's hip-hop take on the original track, it works well as a stand alone song but compared to the anthemic original, it's nothing special.
'FRGT/10' keeps the album building on the hip-hop tip, The Alchemist drop's some tight beats and haunting melodies, but it's Mike Shinoda's new rap verses that really make this song shine.
Next is probably the best track on the album ' P5HNG ME A*WY' produced by Shinoda himself it just goes to prove that he is the man when it comes to production, the heavy original is stripped back into an emotional 6 minute ride of complex beats, driving synth's and swirling guitar, a brilliant song that is arguably better than the original.

Different. But Good Different.
I can see how this album has divided opinion among Linkin Park fans for it's seemingly large step away from the Linkin Park norm. Read more

To call this album a 're-mix' of Hybrid theory, would be like saying the Mona Lisa is just 'a painting'. Read more
