The first time I became interested (or what I'd like to call my healthy obsession ), was when I saw the 'Crawling' video a year or so ago. Since I suffer from some form of depression, it really really called out to me. I downloaded it right away off of Napster (the good ole days), then later downloaded 'Papercut'. Eventually my 'obsession' grew and I bought Hybrid Theory with my Christmas money the year before last. Ever since then, I've used their music as my therapy. A lot of their lyrics help me get through tough times and I thank them for it.
