In my three years in high school I can't remember another album that was talked about as much as it. Linkin Park just came out of nowhere and dominated teenage music listening back then.

this. I was 14 when Hybrid Theory came out and I remember that during breaks, either Hybrid Theory or Infest by Papa Roach blasted from the CD players in nearly every classroom in our school. Never experienced anything like that during my time at school. It may have not been "groundbreaking", if you want to get fussy about definitions and stuff, but it was definitely highly influential.
that's probably why I was so disappointed with nearly everything that they made after "Meteora". That whole electro BS was a huge slap to the face for me.
