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.
It's incredible to think it's been 20 years since Hybrid Theory was released. 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. #HybridTheory20 - LPhttps://t.co/sNnT4zRUsM pic.twitter.com/zKURA5I9D5

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.
The Hybrid Theory: 20th Anniversary Edition super deluxe box set, which goes for $199.98 (PHP 9,758.12), is every Linkin Park fan's dream.
It comes with 5 CDs, including Hybrid Theory, the remix album Reanimation, B-Side Rarities, LP Underground Rarities, and Forgotten Demos, along with 3 DVDs of concert and behind-the-scenes footage (Frat Party at the Pankake Festival, Projekt Revolution, The Fillmore 2001/Rock Am Ring 2001), 3 vinyl records, a cassette reproduction of their original 2-track street team sampler, a photo book, poster of Chester Bennington, 3 lithos of new art by Joseph Hahn, Mike Shinoda, and Frank Maddocks, a replica tour laminate, and download card for all audio in the box.
