PopMatters
Unless you've been under a rock the last year, you'll know the boys that are Linkin Park. These fortunate five may not have changed the music scene (nu-metal was coined well before they came along), but they have made a fierce imprint.

Immortal Reviews
The most prolific band from that era was Linkin Park their brand of nu-metal fused with elements of electronica and hip-hop made Hybrid Theory one of the most important records of the 2000s, and, by extension, all time.

SPIN
Hybrid Theory was filled with pain, addressed in elliptical enough terms that those of us with more banal tribulations could still make it our own. And the music, with its sci-fi cosmopolitanism, promised us a better world was coming soon, or at least a cooler one.

Rolling Stone
As a result, Linkin Park too frequently come off like another Hybrid song, “Papercut”: They can slice and dice, but just not deep enough.

Punknews
Their debut LP combined a couple rock genres together and felt undiluted in how they continued to add in the rap element of their game. In doing so, they showed how to execute with style and substance making Linkin Park a household name. And rightfully so.
