"In the End" is a song by Linkin Park. It is the eighth track from their debut album Hybrid Theory (2000).

It was released as a single in 2001. It was originally written as a poem by the lead vocalist, Chester Bennington, with Christian Petersen, and was later established as a sufficient song for the album. The original demo version of this song was labeled "Untitled" (which may or may not have been an actual title) and contained various different rap verses by Shinoda.

"In the End" is their highest charting single in most countries. It is widely regarded as their most famous song, and the one which best describes their musical style (a melodic interplay between Chester Bennington's singing and Mike Shinoda's rapping).

This song is mainly based on one person's failure. It is considered symbolic of an ending relationship. Reanimation (2002) features a hip hop-style remix of this song, titled "Enth E Nd".

I'll actually go for this one. I've always liked that main piano figure.

from CMU mailout today :

Linkin Park's Chester Bennington broke his arm during a gig in
Australia last weekend after falling off the stage four songs in. But good old Chester carried on with the rest of the gig after strapping his broken arm up - well done him. And the band say the injury shouldn't effect their upcoming touring commitments, so there you go.

fair play to the man.

i'm sure it added another level of pain to his tortured whining.

"faint" is there best i think
i was never a huge fan of this but its obv the touchpoint for their sound and is hooky and poppy and all that good shit.
i think i liked "points of authority" too but i dont remember

not-pretend forgetfulness

deej, Friday, 19 October 2007 18:20 (eighteen years ago)

yeah i'm ok with their power ballads but next to the fun fast stuff like "Bleed It Out" and "Faint" this song really doesn't rate for me.

Alex in Baltimore, Friday, 19 October 2007 18:26 (eighteen years ago)

this probably isn't one of their 5 best singles, but KEEP nonetheless.

J0rdan S., Friday, 19 October 2007 18:31 (eighteen years ago)

I voted keep and I don't even know why.
