Every album by LINKIN PARK Tier List | FROM ZERO Review |

Every Album from LINKIN PARK (including From Zero) on a Tier List.

Linkin Park emerged as the definitive nu-metal act with their 2000 debut, Hybrid Theory*. Achieving Diamond certification in the U.S., the album boasts enduring hits like "In the End" (2 billion Spotify streams) and "Crawling" (Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance). With Don Gilmore’s production, *Hybrid Theory is a fusion of raw emotion and polished execution, epitomized in "One Step Closer" and deeper cuts like "Runaway." Released alongside Limp Bizkit's *Chocolate Starfish*, it helped redefine the genre's landscape.

The 2002 remix album Reanimation offered experimental takes on Hybrid Theory tracks, collaborating with artists like Jonathan Davis of Korn. Though it garnered mixed reviews (70/100 critical score), it became the fourth-best-selling remix album ever, cementing Linkin Park’s versatility.

Hybrid Theory*’s success was amplified by *Meteora (2003), a classic-tier follow-up blending aggression and melody. Tracks like "Somewhere I Belong," "Faint," and "Numb" demonstrated their knack for relatable anthems, while "Breaking the Habit" showcased orchestral ambition. With seven-times Platinum certification, this album defined early 2000s rock.

The live energy of Linkin Park was captured in Live in Texas (2003), a Platinum-certified concert album featuring dynamic versions of their hits, recorded in Houston and Dallas. They followed with Collision Course (2004), an innovative mashup EP with Jay-Z that won a Grammy for "Numb/Encore."

2007’s Minutes to Midnight marked a stylistic pivot, blending rock and balladry under the guidance of Rick Rubin. Tracks like "What I’ve Done" and "Bleed It Out" bridged aggressive elements with introspection. The album's less rap-rock focus divided fans but proved the band’s commitment to reinvention.

The experimental streak continued with A Thousand Suns (2010), a concept album exploring humanity, war, and existential dread. With ambitious tracks like "The Catalyst" and "Waiting for the End," this cinematic work drew comparisons to Dark Side of the Moon and solidified their evolution.

Their live prowess was further documented in the Live Around the World series (2012), highlighting career-spanning tracks with robust crowd engagement. The studio album Living Things (2012) balanced experimentation and personal themes, producing memorable singles like "Burn It Down" and "Castle of Glass."

The aggressive The Hunting Party (2014) brought back heavy guitars and nu-metal roots, featuring standout tracks like "Guilty All the Same" (with Rakim) and "Rebellion." This "what if we started over" effort resonated with fans who missed their harder edge.

One More Light (2017) ventured into pop terrain, producing polarizing reactions. While tracks like "Heavy" leaned heavily into mainstream aesthetics, the album’s introspection was underscored by Chester Bennington’s tragic passing. The accompanying One More Light Live captured poignant performances from their final tour.

The band celebrated their legacy with expanded anniversary editions of Hybrid Theory (2020) and Meteora (2023), both featuring rare and unreleased tracks. The 2024 release From Zero introduced Emily Armstrong as a fresh voice, delivering standout singles like "The Emptiness Machine" while preserving Linkin Park’s emotive core.

From nu-metal pioneers to genre-defying innovators, Linkin Park's discography showcases a band unafraid to evolve, leaving an indelible mark on modern rock.
