Linkin Park is an alternative/modern rock band hailing from Agoura Hills, California. They are known for being one of the most popular bands in the "nü-metal" movement, alongside other notable acts. Their unique sound incorporates a wide range of influences including metal, alternate rock, hip-hop, electronica, and industrial. With their debut album "Hybrid Theory," Linkin Park achieved immense success worldwide, selling over 30 million copies with 12 million sold in the US alone. They have also released a corresponding remix album.

The band was originally formed as Xero in the winter of 1995/96 but later changed their name to Hybrid Theory in 1999. After signing with a developing artist label called Warner Bros., they were advised to change their name to avoid confusion with another music group. Eventually settling on Linkin Park in May 2000 after seeing a street sign for Lincoln Park in Los Angeles, the band made slight modifications to acquire the internet domain "linkinpark.com".

Tragically, frontman Chester Bennington passed away from suicide on July 20, 2017.

Warner Bros. Records, founded in 1958 by Jack Warner, started as a soundtrack factory for Warner Bros. movie studios. Over the years, it has evolved into a renowned label with subsidiary labels like Reprise Records, Sire Records, Maverick Records, Warner Nashville, Warner Jazz, Warner Western, and Word Label Group. With more than 60 years of experience in the industry and an impressive roster of artists across various genres, Warner Bros. has become a leading name in the music world.

The label has used several pressing facilities including *Capitol Records* and *Columbia Pressings*. Throughout its history, Warner Bros. has had different label designs for mono LPs and stereo LPs. From grey labels with black WB Shield to gold labels with Vitaphonic Long Play or Stereo wording at the bottom; from green labels featuring the W7 logo to palm trees labels without any address mentioned; and finally transitioning to tan labels with narrow horizontal lines before settling on white labels with large WB shield and ghosted gray shields floating in the background since 1983.

To determine first pressings of US LPs on this label, collectors can look out for specific details such as color variations on the label design or Saul Bass W logo on sleeves introduced after 1975. The presence or absence of certain addresses on palm trees labels also helps identify different pressings over time.

Linkin Park is an outlier. The band’s risky creative choices - swinging wildly from song to song, album to album - are a hallmark of their career. Few artists effortlessly blend genres, emotions, and ideas with a voice as signature as Linkin Park's. They are, after all, the architects of the inimitable Hybrid Theory, the only band proven to be as at-home on stage with Jay-Z as with Metallica, Steve Aoki, and Paul McCartney. For any career artist, making new material matter can be the biggest challenge. Inspiration is a fickle thing, and past success often draws a bar that is hard to overcome. But once in a while, unexpectedly, lightning strikes—and an artist we think we know goes somewhere we didn’t know was possible. Miraculously, Linkin Park’s seventh studio album One More Light does just that. And it doesn’t achieve it by being louder or bigger, more avant garde or more dramatic. It achieves it by being more human. One More Light is a moment in time. It’s built on personal stories, sweat- stained and reeling from injuries—the product of six voices, each coming clean about their lives and struggles, as if it were the first time. We get an unobstructed view into what makes the band tick as people, fathers, husbands, musicians, and friends.
