Both Hybrid Theory and Meteora intertwined the nu metal sound with industrial rock, synth rock, and drum and bass influences and elements, utilizing programming and synthesizers. All Music Guide regarded it as "a Johnny-come-lately to an already overdone musical style,"whereas Rolling Stone called "Breaking the Habit" "risky, beautiful art."

Minutes to Midnight experiments with both the band's established sound and other genres and styles, a process Los Angeles Times compares to a stage in U2's work. In it, only two of the songs feature rapping. It also is their first studio album to feature guitar solos and to feature Mike Shinoda's singing, rather than rapping.

Linkin Park's use of two separate vocalists has become a large part of their music. Chester Bennington is most known for his growling and screaming vocals common in various forms of metal, while also using more melodic vocals, and has placed 46th in Hit Paraders list of "Heavy Metal's All-Time Top 100 Vocalists". Mike Shinoda is the group's MC, and does all of the rapping. Mike has also done all of the backing vocals live, and in their latest album, Minutes to Midnight, he sings lead vocals two songs entirely by himself: In Between, and the b-side No Roads Left, as well as singing lead in the chorus of Hands Held High.

They first achieved mainstream success in 2000 with their debut album, Hybrid Theory, which has since been certified Diamond by RIAA. The band's following studio album, Meteora also garnered success, topping the Billboard 200's album charts in 2003, and was followed by an extensive touring and charity work around the world.

Linkin Park is recognized for adapting the Nu-metal genre into a radio friendly style, creating many successful singles, such as In the End, Crawling, and Numb, which were number one singles in several countries. They are also known for their several collaborations, most notably with rapper Jay-Z in their mash-up album Collision Course, and a plethora of other artists on Reanimation.The band's latest album, Minutes to Midnight, which was released in May 2007, has stemmed away from their previous Nu-metal sound venturing into various other genres.Despite receiving mixed reviews from both critics and fans, the album topped the Billboard Charts by selling nearly 625,000 copies debut week, making it the best debut week of the year.
