On Friday (08/14), the American nu metal act announced they will be releasing a reissue of Hybrid Theory this October 9 (Friday) in digital and physical formats, along with a limited edition super deluxe box set, a vinyl box set, and deluxe CD packed with B-Side Rarities and never before seen footage and material. 

They also dropped one of their earlier demos, 'She Couldn't' on streaming platforms. In an Instagram post, Mike Shinoda, explains the track was what set the groundwork for their later evolution.

"The softly-sung 'you’re not alone' refrain reminded me that, although we debuted with a song screaming 'shut up,' what most fans came to find out was that empathy and community were just as integral a part of LP’s DNA from the very beginning," Shinoda writes.

“She Couldn’t” is one of the earliest demos we made when Chester joined the band. Two things stand out about the song, to me: 1.) The programmed beat and focus on synth sounds and vocal loops (rather than heavy guitars) foreshadowed a future of the band many years after Hybrid Theory. In searching for our “first sound,” we set the groundwork for our later evolution. 2.) The softly-sung “you’re not alone” refrain reminded me that, although we debuted with a song screaming “shut up,” what most fans came to find out was that empathy and community were just as integral a part of LP’s DNA from the very beginning. Sincerely, thank you for the excitement about the #hybridtheory20 package. We’re so grateful to have had you with us all these years.
