Linkin Park - Reanimation (2002)

Reason for Listening:
It's part of the Hybrid Theory 20th Anniversary Edition and makes sense to be in it's own post.

Notes:

First listen. iTunes edition.
Not sure if due to being a remix but the chorus occasionaly feels off ("Enth E Nd")
--20201109--
Second listen. iTunes edition.
Listening to it today, I like it better. Moved from "2" to "3". ("Enth E nd")
This has a nice... I don't know the word for it. The beat that repeats in the background. Maybe it's just called the beat. ("Frgt/10")
Moved "P5hng Me A*wy" from a "0" to a "1".
I did some research and notes on linkinpedia.com explains "X-Ecutioner Style" has "Elements of 'One Step Closer' and 'Forgotten' reinterpreted by Sean C & Roc Raida"; Sean C and Roc Raida are members of the X-Ecutioners (Roc Raida passed away in 2009). The page for the track itself (here) says the track samples "Forgotten", "One Step Closer", and "Cure for the Itch".
Moved from a "0" to a "2" ("X-Ecutioner Style")
Moved "H! Vltg3" from a "0" to a "1".
Moved "Ppr:Kut" from a "2" to a "1".

Song title format: "{song title} // reanimated by (r.b.) {artist}".*

Summary:
With perhaps a few exceptions, I typically liked a reanimation as much as the original song or perhaps a little less.

Overall Rating: 5.0/5
Favorite Song: "Enth E Nd"

*Songs are listed on the back of the album in the form "{song_title} // {artist(s)_who_reanimated} featuring {featured_artist(s)_where_applicable}". I essentially use that format below, but added "r.b." for "reanimated by" and abbreviated "featuring" to "ft." Finally, Spotify will list the tracks with the following title format: "{song_title} ({artist(s)_who_reanimated} Reanimation) [feat. {featured_artist(s)_where_applicable}]".
