Shinoda Explains Linkin Park Remix Album

Linkin Park frontman Mike Shinoda explained the band’s new ‘Reanimation’ album, a remix album. He said on the band’s official site that the group sees it as a “revisiting” of its multi-platinum debut, ‘Hybrid Theory.’ Shinoda explains, “This album is much more than putting a beat over the old vocals; these songs have new parts, new words, new melodies, and new themes. Rather than having the remixer submit a final piece of work, we’ve collaborated in the writing process. Some songs have been simply trading files; some have involved sitting down and re-writing entire sections of the song.”
