The remix album - the time-honored tradition of buying time between records. Often, these are inconsequential affairs (Limp Bizkit's New Old Songs leaps to mind, for some reason), but if a band is smart, they can use this time-buying ploy to their advantage, redefining their sound somewhat, or at least reaching out for that elusive street credibility. The latter option is especially true for bands that have a big, big chart hit on their hands but little critical respect or reputation as a hip band. Which brings us to Linkin Park's Reanimation, a generous 20-track remix record of their debut Hybrid Theory that the band has vaguely alluded to as their art project. That means the group has left the hamfisted alt-metal of their debut behind, turning this record over to rappers, remixers, DJs, and assorted producers to give it a darkly hip, electronic edge. This may not be particularly pleasing to those who loved the angst-ridden rock theatrics of the debut, but it's a damn sight more interesting than that debut, helping Linkin Park distinguish themselves from the adolescently tortured rap-rock pack. The paradox is, of course, that the band sounds more original when filtered through the likes of Kutmasta Kurt, Alchemist, Pharoahe Monch, Aceyalone, and Jonathan Davis, among others, but any change is welcome, really (well, apart from the apparent decision to leave grammar and spelling behind; every song title is an "arty" interpretation of the original title - "Paper Cut" is "Ppr:Kut," "Cure for the Itch" is "Kyur4 th Ich," etc. - resulting in a silly mish-mash of letters and numerals). Some of this works quite well, some of it is kind of juvenile (really, does Motion Man need to repeat "Linkin Park - remix" over and over again on his rap?), much of it is only slightly recognizable from the original, it's too long, and compared to contemporary arty rock (Radiohead, Flaming Lips, Clinic, Trail of Dead, System of a Down, Interpol, etc.), it really isn't that arty. But, compared to what they've done before, and compared to their peers, Reanimation is arty and a welcome step in the right direction.

What a totally unnecessary record!This is just a new mixed hip hop version of the mega seller Hybrid Theory,it?s like hearing all the same songs over again but with even more rap and scratching,puke warning so to speak.They have 5 outstandingsingle top 10?s from the debut album so this is only a way to squeeze out more money out of their hybrid Theory baby. To mention one the guest artists we have Jay Gordon from Orgy doing Point of Authority but thats about all there is to be positive over.With this release I only wonder if Chester Bennington and the boys are a bit nervous doing a new record with new songs,because their debut sold 16 millions and the pressure is pretty big on them. Hybrid Theory is a great numetal album but this is getting over the line beeing way too over hyped.

Kaj Roth - Melodic



Linkin Park: they invented the remix! Well, not exactly — these gazillion-selling L.A. hoodie rockers didn't invent the idea of a rap-metal band dabbling in hip-hop remixes any more than Puffy invented marketing, Martha Stewart invented insider trading or Shakira invented the midriff. But Linkin Park's remix album is something new, just because they're the biggest band ever to try this shit, with the best-selling album of 2001, Hybrid Theory, still riding high on the charts and the radio. Nobody ever accused them of having the most original sound around, but what sets them apart is how they shape all their heavy influences into something fresh and tuneful. Brad Delson's flash guitar, Mike Shinoda's low-key rapping and Chester Bennington's Freddie Mercury-has-risen-from-the-grave vocals fuse into intensely emotional songs of teen angst. "In the End," their biggest and best hit, is really the flip side of Limp Bizkit's "Nookie," a breakup song from an embattled young dude who finds out the hard way that nice guys have girl troubles, too, just like the Fred Dursts of the world. Musically and lyrically, "In the End" sums up everything that makes Linkin Park stand out so far ahead of the pack.

On Reanimation, Linkin Park rework their music from the inside out. Shinoda is the mastermind here, overseeing the project (along with Linkin Park DJ Joseph "Chairman" Hahn) to turn down the rock vocals, de-emphasize the riffs and cut a host of illustrious underground hip-hop names in on the action. It's not so much an album as it is a capital-P Project, the kind of record that rock stars make when they get caught short of new material between albums. For a young band coming off a blockbuster debut, a Project lets it recuperate and stall for time, but it also allows it to (1) prove that the group is, like, so totally still down creatively, and (2) clock some serious next-album dollars before actually having to write next-album songs. In the past, bands have usually gone for live or unplugged records. But Linkin Park have opened the remix-project door in a calculating but earnest effort to establish their underground hip-hop art cred: Reanimation is basically the Pro Tools era's answer to GN'R Lies.

Shinoda has recruited some impeccably pedigreed collaborators, including underground hip-hop producers Kutmasta Kurt, Alchemist, Cheapshot, X-ecutioners, Dilated Peoples' Evidence and the excellently named Jewbacca. Guest vocalists include rockers such as Korn's Jonathan Davis and Staind's Aaron Lewis, as well as indie rappers including Aceyalone, Rasco, Planet Asia and Jurassic 5's Chali 2na. "High Voltage" is easily the best thing here, as well as one of the only tracks not previously heard on Hybrid Theory; originally a headbanging rocker from an EP by the band, "High Voltage" becomes a vehicle for the maniacally ranting Rawkus rapper Pharoahe Monch. Shinoda himself remixes "Pushing Me Away" and "By Myself" (featuring Deftones' Steph Carpenter on guitar), while Hahn tackles "Without You" and "Cure for the Itch." And Kutmasta Kurt opens up a sixer of whup-ass on "In the End," speeding up the original vocal chorus into Tweety Bird territory and bringing in rapper Motion Man. It's nowhere near as punchy as the original, but you have to admit it's pretty fucking strange.

Reanimation definitely goes overboard on the atmospherics: Without the high-resolution hooks and guitar-rock crunch of Hybrid Theory, the tracks tend to blur together in unflattering patterns. Most of the avant-feeble rapping on the album is underground — not in the sense of "too radical for the mainstream" but in the sense of "you can dress it up, but you can't take it out." Some of the remixes weaken the original (the Humble Brothers' "One Step Closer"); others make a lame song even worse (Zion I's "Place for My Head"). Still, there's something winningly sincere about how much ingenuous hard work went into Reanimation, and not just getting people on the phone: Shinoda segues all twenty tracks together, opening and closing with a horror-movie violin motif, mixing in voice-mail messages, piano interludes and other production gimmicks until the whole album flows into a sixty-one-minute suite for comfortably numb dudes and their headphones. The music isn't exactly groundbreaking, and none of the remixes improve on the Hybrid Theory originals, but the boyish energy of Reanimation has its own appeal, and it's not too far emotionally from the tried-so-hard spirit of "In the End." Commercially expedient though it may be, it's also a labor of love.

Reanimation is the first remix album by the American rock band Linkin Park as a follow-up to their first studio album, Hybrid Theory and was released on July 30, 2002. Recorded during the Hybrid Theory tour in 2001, it features remixes of songs from Hybrid Theory, including the album's bonus tracks. The remix album is produced by Mike Shinoda and mixed by Mark "Spike" Stent.

Reanimation helped the many underground hip hop artists that it featured reach a larger audience, as well as changing the nature of the work so significantly (restructuring songs, adding or substantially changing verses, and adding several guest artists) that it could be considered an entirely new album. The album received an average score of 60 from Metacritic. Reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic considered the album "a welcome step in the right direction," and he praised Reanimation for attempting to break new ground. Linkin Park have also stated that this album could be considered both a remix and studio album. However, the album reached a peak position of #2 on the Billboard 200 and stayed on the list for 33 straight weeks. It sold 270,000 copies in its debut week.
