Linkin Park Announce Hybrid Theory: 20th Anniversary Edition And Stream Previously Unreleased Song, She Couldn't

After unveiling a super-cool throwback website earlier in the week and teasing a Hybrid Theory "secret project", Linkin Park have now announced a huge 20th anniversary edition of their iconic debut album – as well as streaming the previously unreleased song She Couldn't.

"It's incredible to think it's been 20 years since Hybrid Theory was released," say the band. "All gratitude to our fans who made this epic journey we started 20 years ago possible. We dedicate our music to you. We rededicate our Hybrid Theory to you."

Hybrid Theory: 20th Anniversary Edition is due out on October 9, 2020 via Warner Records, and will be available to buy in multiple formats (digital, CD and vinyl) with some incredible extras.

The limited-edition super deluxe box set will consist of five CDs, three DVDs, three vinyl records, an 80-page illustrated book featuring unseen photos, a replica tour laminate and a poster of late frontman Chester Bennington, and three lithographs of new art by Mike Shinoda, Joe Hahn and Hybrid Theory art director and reissue art director Frank Maddocks.

Elsewhere, the vinyl box set will feature Hybrid Theory, Reanimation and B-side Rarities on vinyl – with this format being the only one to get your hands on the vinyl edition of the latter.
