This "Pts of Athrty" is the Crystal Method's rework of "Points of Authority", the fourth track on Hybrid Theory, and it surfaced in 2002 on Linkin Park's Underground V2.0, with Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland credited for additional production. Underneath the remix sits a full-band song, written by Chester Bennington, Rob Bourdon, Brad Delson, Joe Hahn and Mike Shinoda.
"Points of Authority" had a strange career as the single that never quite happened. A UK CD was pencilled in for September 2001 until "Papercut" took the slot, and a January 2002 release was scrapped, with a remix sent out in its place: "Pts.OF.Athrty", the lone single from Reanimation. Loudwire has called the song the heaviest thing the band ever put out.
