Formed in 1996, Linkin Park rose to international fame with their debut studio album, Hybrid Theory (2000), which became certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Released during the peak of the nu metal scene, the album's singles' heavy airplay on MTV led the singles "One Step Closer", "Crawling" and "In the End" all to chart highly on the US Mainstream Rock chart. The lattermost also crossed over to the nation's Billboard Hot 100. Their second album, Meteora (2003), continued the band's success. The band explored experimental sounds on their third album, Minutes to Midnight (2007). By the end of the decade, Linkin Park was among the most successful and popular rock acts.
The band continued to explore a wider variation of musical types on their fourth album, A Thousand Suns (2010), layering their music with more electronic sounds. The band's fifth album, Living Things (2012), combined musical elements from all of their previous records. Their sixth album, The Hunting Party (2014), returned to a heavier rock sound, and their seventh album, One More Light (2017), was a substantially more pop-oriented record. Linkin Park went on a hiatus when longtime lead vocalist Bennington died in July 2017. In April 2022, Shinoda revealed the band was neither working on new music nor planning on touring for the foreseeable future.
Linkin Park is among the best-selling bands of the 21st century and the world's best-selling music artists, having sold over 100 million records worldwide. They have won two Grammy Awards, six American Music Awards, two Billboard Music Awards, four MTV Video Music Awards, 10 MTV Europe Music Awards and three World Music Awards. In 2003, MTV2 named Linkin Park the sixth-greatest band of the music video era and the third-best of the new millennium. Billboard ranked Linkin Park No. 19 on the Best Artists of the Decade list. In 2012, the band was voted as the greatest artist of the 2000s in a Bracket Madness poll on VH1. In 2014, the band was declared as "The Biggest Rock Band in the World Right Now" by Kerrang!.

Linkin Park Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We here, we here, we here, we here, we here
We here at the sound institute have invented a reliable audio weapons system
Let's, let's try
Let's try
Let's, let's try
Folks, we have a very special guest for you tonight (night, night)
Break it down (cut it up)
Using the waves of sound
A true master paralyzes his opponent
Leaving him vulnerable to attack
Mr. Hahn
The lyrics to Linkin Park's song Kyur4 Th Ich are spoken and take the form of an introduction to the song. The singer, who appears to be a representative of the "sound institute," announces the invention of a "reliable audio weapons system." This suggests that the song is going to showcase the power of sound, and perhaps even be a commentary on the power of music itself. The singer then encourages the audience to "try something else," perhaps suggesting a willingness to experiment with different sounds and styles within the song.
The introduction to the song also features a "very special guest" identified only as "Mr. Hahn." The fact that this guest is not introduced by his full name suggests a sense of mystery or intrigue surrounding his appearance. Finally, the lyrics refer to the idea of using the "waves of sound" to immobilize an opponent and make them vulnerable. This may be a metaphorical statement about the power of music to affect people on a deeper emotional or psychological level.
