Linkin Park je rok sastav iz Agoura Hilsa, Kalifornija. Od nastanka 1996. godine do danas prodali su više od četrdeset miliona kopija albuma i osvojili dva Gremija. Sa njihovim prvim studijsim albumom, Hibrid Teori (Hybrid Theory), postigli su svetsku slavu. Njihov sledeći studijski album, Meteora, nastavio je njihov uspeh.
Poznati su i po nekoliko saradnji, najviše sa reperom Džej-Zijem u njihovim zajedničkim albumu Collision Course, i saradnji sa mnoštvom umetnika na Reanimation-u. Album je bio među najprodavanijima sa blizu 625.000 kopija u prvoj nedelji, što je drugi najprodavaniji album te godine.
Prvobitna grupa se je sastojala od tri dobra srednjoškolska prijatelja. Temelj Linin Parku su postavili Majk Šinoda (Mike Shinoda), Bred Delson (Brad Delson) i Rob Bourdon (Rob Bourdon). Nakon završetka srednje škole, svoje muzičko intresovanje su uzeli za ozbiljno, sastavu su se pridružili Džo Han (Joe Hahn), Dejv „Feniks“ Farel (Dave "Phoenix" Farrell) i Mark Vejkfild (Mark Wakefield) i nazvali njihovu grupu Xero. Budući da nisu imali dovoljno novca, počeli su da snimaju i produciraju pesme u Šinodinom studiju u spavaćoj sobi 1996. Tenzije i frustracije su povećane nakon njihovog neuspelog pokušaja da nađu izdavača za njihov album. Neuspeh je naterao Veikfilda, do tada pevača u grupi, da napusti sastav i potraži drugi posao. Kasnije je Farel takođe napustio grupu ali se je kasnije vratio.
Linkin park je objavio album Hybrid Theory oktobra 2000. Album je uredio i doterao muzički producent Don Gilmor. Hybrid Theory je bio dobro prihvaćen od strane publike; prodato je više od 4,8 miliona kopija u prvoj godini, stekao je status najprodavanijeg albuma u 2001. godini, a u isto vreme singlovi kao na primer Crawling i One Step Closer bili su u vrhu top-lista rok radio stanica tokom te godine. Pored toga, drugi singlovi sa albuma pojavili su se u filmu Drakula 2000, Mali Niki i Valentine. Hybrid Theory je takođe bio nominovan za tri nagrade Gremi: nagradu za najboljeg novajliju, najbolji rok album i za najbolju hard rok pesmu (za Crawling). MTV im je takođe dodelio nagradu za Najbolji rok muzički video i Najbolju režiju videa pesme In the End. Pored ovih nagrada, Hybrid Theory je bendu doneo svetsku slavu.
Bend je objavio da radi na novom albumu u decembru 2002. godine. Meteora je trebao da bude mešavina nu metala i repa sa dosta novina, uključujući korišćenje šakuhači (japanska frula napravljena od bambusa) i drugih instrumenata. Drugi album Linkin parka je izašao 25. marta 2003. i odmah je stekao svetsku popularnost.
Meteora je prodat u više od 800.000 primeraka u prvoj nedelji, i bio je nejprodavaniji album u to vreme. Muzički spotovi su urađeni za singlove Somewhere I Belong, Breaking the Habit, Faint i Numb, što je doprinelo velikoj medijskoj pažnji. Najzad Meteora je prodat u oko 3 miliona kopija do oktobra 2003. Veliki uspeh albuma naveo je bend da krene u još jednu turneju Projekt Revolution, u kojoj su učestvovali drugi bendovi i umetnici uključujući Mudvayne, Blindside, i Xzibita.
Meteora je takođe bendu donela dodatne nagrade i slavu. Bend je osvojio nagradu MTV-a za najbolji rok muzički video (Somewhere I Belong), i nagradu publike (Breaking the Habit). Linkin park je takođe primio priznanje od Radio Music Awards za umetnika godine i za pesmu godine (Numb) tokom 2004. godine. Iako Meteora nije postigao isti uspeh kao Hybrid Theory, bio je treći najprodavaniji album u Americi tokom 2003. godine. Bend je početak 2004. proveo na turnejama po svetu, prvo sa trećom turnejom Projekt Revolution, a kasnije na nekoliko koncerta po Evropi.
Linkin park se vratio u studio da snima novi materijal 2006. Za produkciju albuma izabrali su poznatog producrnta Rika Rubina. Uprkos planovima okolnosti su ih naterale da odlože završetak rada na albumu do 2007. godine. Snimili su od trideset do pedeset pesama u avgustu 2006. kad je Šinoda izjavio da je pola posla oko albuma urađeno. Benington je kasnije izjavio da će se album razlikovati od dosadašnjeg nu metal zvuka. Warner Bros. Records je zvanično objavio da će se treći studiski album Linkin parka zvati Minutes to Midnight i da će se u SAD pojaviti 15. maja 2007. Nakon četrnaest meseci rada na albumu, bend je od predviđenih sedamnaest pesama uklonio pet. Minutes to Midnight je prodat u više od 600.000 kopija u prvoj nedelji, čineći ga najprodavanijim albumom tekuće godine. Album je takođe u vrhu liste Billboard Charts.
Prvi singl sa albuma, What I've Done je izašao 2. aprila, a kasnije premijerno prikazan na MTV-u i Fuse-u u istoj nedelje. Publika je odlično prihvatila singl. Dostigavši na listu Billboard Hot 100 nekoliko dana nakon izdavanja, kasnije je bio u vrhu pesama na Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks i listi Mainstream Rock Tracks. Bleed It Out je drugi singl sa albuma Minutes to Midnight i izašao je 20. avgusta 2007. Shadow of the Day, treći singl je planiran da izađe u Ujedinjenom Kraljevstvu 8. oktobra, a u SAD 16. oktobra.

I am not a pattern to be followed The pill that i'm on is a tough one to swallow I'm not a criminal, not a role model Not a born leader, i'm a tough act to follow I am not the fortune and the fame on the same verse Telling you to forfeit the game I came in the ring like a dog on a chain And you found out that the underbelly is sicker than it seems And it seems ugly but it can get worse 'cause even a blueprint is a gift and a curse 'cause what you got a theory about how the thing works Everybody wants the next thing to be just like the first And i'm not a robot, i'm not a monkey I will not dance even if the beat is funky Opposite of lazy, far from a punk
Ya'll oughta stop talking Start trying to catch up mother fucker And all the people say Try to catch up mother fucker
Lauryn said money change the situation Big says it increases the complication Kane said don't step, I ain't the one Сhuck said an uzi weighs a mother fucking ton And I'm just a student of the game that they taught me Rocking every stage and every place that they brought me I'm awfully underrated, prepared to be corrected And solely i'll sink ya and i'm going sing it for the record I am the opposite of wack, opposite of weak Opposite of slack, synonym of hit, synonym of crack Closest to a beat, far from a punk Ya'll oughta stop talking, start trying to catch up mother fucker
And all the people say Try to catch up mother fucker
When they come for me Come for me I'll be gone
And all the people say Try to catch up mother fucker

You say you're not gonna fight 'Cause no one would fight for you And you think there's not enough love And no one to give it to And you're sure you've hurt for so long You've got nothing left to lose So you say you're not gonna fight 'Cause no one would fight for you
You say the weight of the world Has kept you from letting go And you think compassion's a fault And you'll never let it show And you're sure you hurt in a way That no one will ever know But someday the weight of the world Will give you the strength to go
Hold on, the weight of the world Will give you the strength to go So hold on, the weight of the world Will give you the strength to go So hold on, the weight of the world Will give you the strength to go Just hold on, the weight of the world Will give you the strength to go

I use the dead wood to make a fire rise The blood of innocence burning in the skies I filled my cup with the rising of the sea And poured it out in an ocean of debris
Ooooooh I'm swimming in the smoke Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve What I don't deserve
We held our breath when clouds began to form But you were lost in the beating of the storm And in the end we were made to be apart Like separate chambers of the human heart
Nooooo I'm swimming in the smoke Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve
It's in the blackened bones Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve What I don't deserve
I'm swimming in the smoke Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve
The blame is mine alone For bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve What I don't deserve ooh ooh ooh ooh What I don't deserve
I use the dead wood to make the fire rise The blood of innocence burning in the skies

There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part; you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop." (Mario Savio)
To save face / how low can you go Talk a lot of game but yet you don't know Static on the way / make us all say whoa The people up top push the people down low Get down And obey every word Steady getting mine if you haven't yet heard Wanna take what I got / don't be absurd Don't fight the power / nobody gets hurt If you haven't heard yet then I'm letting you know There ain't shit we don't run when the guns unload And no one make a move unless my people say so Got everything outta control Now everybody go
Steel unload / final blow We the animals take control Hear us now / clear and true Wretches and kings we come for you
So keep pace / how slow can you go Talk a lot of shit and yet you don't know Fire on the way / make you all say whoa The people up top and the people down low Get down And I'm running it like that The front of the attack is exactly where I'm at Somewhere in between the kick and the hi hat The pen and the contract The pitch and the contact So get with the combat / I'm letting them know There ain't shit you can say to make me back down no So / push the button let the whole thing blow Spinning everything outta control Now everybody go
Steel unload / final blow We the animals take control Hear us now / clear and true Wretches and kings we come for you Steel unload / fire blow Filthy animals / beat them low Skin and bone / black and blue No more this sun shall beat onto you
From the front to the back and the side to side If you fear what I feel put them up real high
