　　hybrid theory anniversary

　　it's very strange to think that it was seven years ago today that hybrid theory, our first album on a major label, was finally in stores. we were in seattle to play a show, and i was driving our RV with a trailer full of our gear behind it. we didn't have any crew to help us move, setup, or tune our gear--we were doing everything ourselves. we were all pretty tired, and we hit seattle around midnight. i was racing to try to get to the (now extinct) tower records just before the clock struck 12 so they would let us in to buy our album.

　　we got there at about 12:05, and the lights were still on in the record store. we jumped out and ran to the window, knocking and yelling. the kid who was closing up looked at us over his shoulder. we told him through the glass that we were a band in town to play a show, that our first CD just came out, and we were hoping he would open the door so we could buy a few copies. he said no, and turned around.

　　it didn't matter. there is nothing that could have gotten us down that night. it didn't matter that we would have to wait until 10am the next day to buy the album, and it didn't matter that we were exhausted from non-stop shows for the past few months, starting in florida and working our way steadily across the states. we had invested everything we had into this process, and the release of the album felt like the pinnacle; we couldn't imagine anything better.

　　in the days that followed, we drove our RV south, playing shows, trying to guess the first-week sales number. the low guess was a couple thousand. the highest bet was 12K. the following tuesday, we were told that we sold over 42,000. a few months later, it went gold.

　　"diamond" is the highest category of RIAA sales certification, an award for U.S. sales in excess of 10 million copies of any album. hybrid theory went diamond in 2005. to this day, it still sells many thousands every week.

　　at this point, linkin park has sold around 40 million albums around the world. that means we owe 40 million (plus) thank-yous, one to each one of you that has ever enjoyed one of our songs. i'm celebrating tonight in our fans' honor.

　　thank you,

首张大碟《混合理论》

首张大碟《混合理论》,自从这个日子以后，"林肯公园"的音乐，以及这支乐团所代表的一切，就一发不可收拾的如日中天起来。专辑中共收录了乐团的12首歌曲，每一首都是说唱金属的经典之作。2001年，这张专辑取得了美国本土的最高销量，连续75周占据专 辑销售排行榜前5名位置，并仍在不停地刷新着自身的销售记录，直到今天。目前，这张专辑的全球销量保守估计在一千六百多万张左右 。

第二张专辑《流星圣殿》

所谓流星圣殿，指的是在高于希腊平原1500英尺的高山上排建的一组六座古老修道院。正如林肯公园在脑海中营造的图画一样：“我 们希望我们的歌曲能够达到这个名字所能体现出的高度。”

linkinpark的首张专辑《混合理论》，在拿下了格莱美、VMA（MTV音乐大奖）、WMA（世界音乐奖）等众多荣誉的同 时，更创下了乐团首张专辑销量突破1200万张的记录，而且这个数字每天都在不停地被刷新；在linkin的音乐中，你会听到各 式各样的元素：重金属、嘻哈乐、电子舞曲……

第二张专辑《流星圣殿》，乐队又加进了好些新的东西。主唱Shinoda和Bennington为了令新专辑更加完美，为一首歌 就写了40多种完全不同的副歌，直到挑出了最佳版本。辛苦栽培出的成果，很快就在《流星圣殿》中体现了出来。专辑中的12首歌曲 ，无一不体现出了乐队的迅速成长和团队之间缺一不可的“化学反应”。
