Because Sound Matters' meticulous One-Step process creates the definitive sounding audiophile version of an album — and the first release from Because Sound Matters One-Step is Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory.
Linkin Park's debut album, Hybrid Theory, was originally released October 24, 2000, peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard Top 200. The release has gone on to sell more than 32 million copies worldwide and is 12x platinum-selling in the U.S.
Produced by Don Gilmore and mixed by Andy Wallace, seven of the album's 12 songs received alternative and rock radio airplay with "One Step Closer," "Crawling," and "Papercut" being Chart Toppers while "In The End" was a multi-format No. 1 hit including Top 40! "Crawling" won a Grammy Award in 2002 for Best Hard Rock Performance. Hybrid Theory is one of the best-selling debut records of all time!
Because Sound Matters One-Step of Hybrid Theory is strictly limited to 3,000 copies. The album is housed inside a top quality, foil-stamped, uniquely designed slipcase. The enclosed gatefold single LP will feature a Stoughton Printing Old Style tip-on jacket with original artwork and have printed details regarding the entire One-Step process.
