Underground V2.0
Underground V2.0 is an EP from Linkin Park, released on 18 November 2002 through Machine Shop Recordings. It's the second in the band's Underground series, and it sits in the gap between their first two studio albums, Hybrid Theory (2000) and Meteora (2003).
Its sound is rooted in nu metal and rapcore, the blend of heavy guitars and rap vocals that defined the band's early years. For anyone who loved Hybrid Theory and wants to hear Linkin Park in that period before Meteora arrived, it's a neat stop along the way.
