I'm surprised Waiting is putting up a decent fight, thought it'd get crushed. I would've voted for Bleed It Out over either of these.
Song ranking in progress - I've organized all the songs into four fairly equally sized tiers. What I've learned so far is that The Hunting Party is by far my least favorite album.
Really tough call. It's the best of what they're known for versus maybe the best if their more experimental side Gonna go with Faint
Faint feels like it should win. It's got the energy, the punching bridge, the notoriety as a single, and it comes off what I think? was their best selling album and personal favorite.
I'm pretty sure that Hybrid Theory was their best selling album, but I agree with the rest of what you said!
