Tras la integración de Bennington el grupo pasó a llamarse Hybrid Theory (la idea viene de la mezcla de rock y rap), sin embargo, debido a un problema de marca registrada con un grupo europeo llamado Hybrid, se vieron forzados a cambiar de nombre otra vez. Algunas ideas que se pensaron fueron Clear, Probing Lagers, Ten PM Stocker y Platinum Lotus Foundation. Bennington sugirió Lincoln Park, por donde pasaba con el coche al volver de los ensayos. Sin embargo el dominio "lincolnpark.com" costaba más de lo que la banda se podía permitir, así que se vieron obligados de nuevo a cambiar la ortografía a Linkin Park. Mientras el grupo luchaba por hacerse un hueco en el mundo de la música, su bajista Phoenix se vio obligado a dejar la banda durante un tiempo ya que tenía un compromiso anterior con otra banda llamada The Snax. El bajista que lo sustituyó temporalmente en el cargo fue Scott Koziol.
Trabajando en un sello independiente, la banda grabó el álbum Hybrid Theory EP, que contenía las canciones: "Carousel", "Technique", "Step Up", "And One", "High Voltage", "Part of Me".
Al igual que otros grandes artistas y grupos, Linkin Park ha sido victima de plagio en sus creaciones: Porta imito el sampler de Leave out all the rest en su cancion "Falsa Esperanza", los Jonas Brothers copiaron el titulo de Pushing Me Away al ponerlo en su cancion "Pushin' me away".
ACROSS THE LINE
n this desert In darkness Lying with the gun across his chest Pretending He's heartless As the fire flashes in the sky He was fragile And frozen When the bullet took away his friend And now he's somehow More broken He's pulling his weapon to his side Loading it full of his goodbyes Holding an enemy across the line He's pulling his weapon to his side Loading it full of his goodbyes Holding an enemy across the line Sweating And shaking Lying with her hands across her chest She wakes with Her cravings As the fire flashes in her eye She was fragile And frozen When the needle took away her friend But now she's somehow More broken she's pulling her weapon to her side Loading it full of her goodbyes Holding an enemy across the line She's pulling her weapon to her side Loading it full of her goodbyes Holding an enemy across the line With every battle he's chosing With every fight he's losing His enemy's not far behind With every promise she's broken With every lie she's spoken Her enemy's not far behind It's your time It's your time It's your time It's-your-TIME!!! He's pulling his weapon to his side Loading it full of his goodbyes Holding an enemy across the line She's pulling her weapon to her side Loading it full of her goodbyes Holding an enemy across the line With every battle he's chosing With every fight he's losing His enemy's not far behind With every promise she's broken With every lie she's spoken Her enemy's not far behind
