Reanimation

Template:Album infobox Reanimation is Linkin Park's second album. Recorded during the Hybrid Theory tour in 2001, it features heavily remixed songs from the Hybrid Theory album. Reanimation tends to be eschewed by many fans, citing reasons such as the stylistic differences between it and Hybrid Theory. The titles of the song are styled on the internet pop-culture language leet, using symbols, numbers, and inconventional spellings and grammar in place of normal titles. Reanimation was very rap-styled, as opposed to Hybrid Theory's nu-metal format, which had Chester Bennington singing while Mike Shinoda rapped. Many of the tracks on Reanimation lacked this balance (Bennington's vocals were, on many tracks, scratched or removed entirely), however. Some fans also raised allegations of "crass commercialism" over the album's nature: as it was comprised solely of remixes of the first album, some felt that the creative process was stilted, essentially repackaging the same material in an only subtly altered form.

Apologists for the album state that 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.
