Reception
Reanimation helped the many underground hip-hop artists that it featured reach a larger audience, as well as changing the nature of the work so significantly (restructuring songs, adding or substantially changing verses, and adding several guest artists) that it could be considered an entirely new album. Reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine (of all music) considered the album "a welcome step in the right direction," and he praised Reanimation for attempting to break new ground. Linkin Park have also stated that this album could be considered both a remix and studio album. Metacritic gave the album an average score of 60. However, the album reached a peak position of #2 on the Billboard 200 and stayed on the list for 33 straight weeks. It sold 270,000 copies in its debut week.
MTV2 videos
MTV2 made videos for each song of the album for its playback of the album on "MTV:Playback" which aired only a few times. These include "Frgt/10" (a girl grafiting town, evading the police) "Opening" (the girl from the video for "Frgt/10" going to bed), "Pts.OF.Athrty" (the US flag up to 1:05, then a motorcycle chase), "[Chali]" (the girl in bed and shots of her room), "P5hng Me A*wy" (a cannibal at work), "Plc.4 Mie Hæd" (the girl singing to the song), "X-Ecutioner Style" (a cartoon boy walking around town, singing Chester's "Shut up" parts), "H! Vltg3" (a night in the life of a man), "[Riff Raff]" (the girl in bed), "Wth>You" (very quick montage of mugshots of people in sync with the song), "Ppr:Kut" (shots of people's reactions to an unexpected loud noise while listening to music; Mr. Hahn made a cameo appearance in this video), "Rnw@y" (a girl with a mohawk in town), My<="" were="" white="" with="">
Reanimation on live shows
Some of the material on Reanimation found its way into Linkin Park's live shows, as attested by the presence of "P5hng Me A*wy" on Live in Texas and was also played during Linkin Park's touring during 2003. The bridge from "1stp Klosr" and the instrumental portion of "Wth>You" have been played during performances of "One Step Closer" and "With You" from 2003 to 2006. "Pts.Of.Athrty" was used as an intro to performances of "Points of Authority" at some shows. Frgt/10 was played once in 2005, during Music for Relief performance, where Jurassic 5 was also present. Also, the intro to "Krwlng" is often used as the intro to "Crawling" during live performances with Mike singing the first verse from Hands Held High, including Road to Revolution: Live at Milton Keynes.
In popular culture
At the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, British ice dancers Sinead and John Kerr skated to "Krwlng".

DVD-Audio
Contains the complete album mixed in 5.1 surround sound, along with the music videos for "Pts.OF.Athrty", "Frgt/10", and "Kyur4 th Ich", as well as the making of "Pts.OF.Athrty" feature. This is only available in a DVD-Audio format. It plays in most DVD players and DVD-A compatible CD players. This version was originally distributed to members of the Linkin Park Underground, who signed up before November 10, 2002, for free. It was also made into a DualDisc format which contained the CD version on one side and the DVD-Audio on the other.
Test Marketed DualDisc version of the album
This album was included among a group of 15 DualDisc releases that were test marketed in just two cities: Boston and Seattle. The DualDisc version of the album is rare. The DualDisc has the standard album on one side, and bonus material on the second side. See DualDisc for more information.
The DualDisc version was never reissued after the very limited test market run.
Demos
There are currently three known demos from the Reanimation recording sessions – one for "1stp Klosr", only remixed by the Humble Brothers without Jonathan Davis (this was a hidden feature on the DVD Frat Party at the Pankake Festival), a demo of "Pts.OF.Athrty" remixed by Jay Gordon, and an original demo version of the "Plc.4 Mie Haed" remix by Amp Live. These have not been commercially released, but they have become popular online and amongst Linkin Park fans.
Outtakes
Remixes were also crafted by Tricky, Prince Paul, DJ Z-Trip, Team Sleep ("My December"), and The Girl Scouts. Tracks 1, 4, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, and 16 are not on Hybrid Theory. Tracks 1, 4, 8, 10, 12, and 16 were created specifically for Reanimation, while tracks 9 and 15 are remixes of Hybrid Theory b-sides.
