From Zero might be a statement of intent from Linkin Park, but it's also wishful thinking. After all, the band's first 17 years and seven records established them as one of rock and metal's biggest success stories in the 21st Century, breakout stars from a nu metal scene that was already on the wane by the time they released their landmark debut in 2000.
That they not only survived, but thrived after nu metal's fall from grace speaks to the heavy investment fans around the world had in the group, even their evolution towards more pop-rock territories never diminishing their cultural relevance.
