10.11.12 | I came here to say that if L.D. 50 wasn't on this list, you suck. Quite possibly the greatest nu-metal record ever created and while that may not be saying much, it's a legitimately enjoyable record. I wouldn't consider Machine Head's first album nu-metal though. |
Emim
10.11.12 | snorlax if you hate ratm, mudvayne, deftones and system you have something wrong with you.
"I wouldn't consider Machine Head's first album nu-metal though."
meh it's close enough |
VlacDrac
10.11.12 | The only ones that are good are 5,8,16 and 21. |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | I don't consider rage nu-metal, they're too technical at times but they rule
Chimairas self titled is amazing too but that's more metal core
This list brings me back to middle school man aha thanks for that |
VlacDrac
10.11.12 | "I don't consider rage nu-metal, they're too technical at times but they rule"
As much as I like RATM, I wouldn't considered them "too technical". They rule though. |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | Still have to listen to ld50- apparently that album is good according to people here but I kind of lumped them into all the other shitty bands I used to love - its been so many years I hardly remember the album though |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | @vlac- they're not overly technical but IMO for nu metal they are, too much experimentation and solos to fit the nu metal criteria |
ViralOblivion
10.11.12 | I was thinking of listening to slipknot for junior high memories haha and I wonder what I would think of them now |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | And 18 and 21 I still listen to today, those albums are great imo |
VlacDrac
10.11.12 | @DarkSideOfLucca Well, you are right, especially Tom Morello, I love his guitar solos. |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | Vol 3 and their first album are the best viral |
Emim
10.11.12 | if you're gonna consider rage "too technical" (which doesn't really make sense anyway), then say goodbye to mudvayne. |
VlacDrac
10.11.12 | "I don't really consider Deftones to be nu-metal anyway."
Their first two albums where considered "nu-metal", real different sound nowadays. |

10.11.12 | Mudvayne - Severed

VlacDrac
10.11.12 | "Vol 3 and their first album are the best viral"
I liked their self-titled, the problem I had is that it drags too long and I think that the first part it has a lot of energy, then the second half kicks in and it's just plain boring. |
ViralOblivion
10.11.12 | Yeah I used to listen to them religiously so I know them well haha it's just a matter of downloading the, |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | Yeah their first album is uneven but has some of their best/most fun material IMO
Vol 3 is more of a legit album
Incubus rule but are they metal? |
Emim
10.11.12 | because science in particular is a nu-metal album |
VlacDrac
10.11.12 | @DarkSideOfLucca You should listen to Science, their best album IMO. |
ViralOblivion
10.11.12 | I remember liking Iowa the most but ill probably like vol 3 the most now |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | Science? Never listened to it - i feel ignorant
Funny story, my brothers band opened up for incubus 6 years ago and all of them came back to his house party after and all except boyd hit his bong (which is now mine, the one I'm using now)
Viral, Iowa is intense but it's so goofy it is probably my least favorite |
ViralOblivion
10.11.12 | I don't really remember it lol I remember the last track being really long |
Emim
10.11.12 | "I wouldn't really consider S.C.I.E.N.C.E. to be a nu-metal album. "
I want you to listen to Redefine, Michael. Then get back to me. |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | Just got done with the first track, wtf this isnt incubus this is madness |
ViralOblivion
10.11.12 | Does ld 50 still hold up? |
Atari
10.11.12 | i do not like nu metal |
VlacDrac
10.11.12 | @DarkSideOfLucca That's really cool, How is the bong doing?
And yes, they were really diferent, even including some hip-hop elements.
|
VlacDrac
10.11.12 | "SCIENCE is too diverse an album to try and slump into nu-metal."
Indeed, and it is their best album. |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | Bong is doing great man aha
And SCIENCE is wayyy different than all other incubus but in a good way |
ViralOblivion
10.11.12 | Ld 50 still hold up? |
ViralOblivion
10.11.12 | Doubt that |
VlacDrac
10.11.12 | With a bullet called life |
VlacDrac
10.11.12 | @ViralOblivion haha That's part of the lyrics of Sugar by SOAD. |
ViralOblivion
10.11.12 | I know lol I was just messin |
VlacDrac
10.11.12 | lol |
Emim
10.11.12 | "SCIENCE is too diverse an album to try and slump into nu-metal."
not at all |
ViralOblivion
10.11.12 | Use to listen to soad way too much back in the day |
Emim
10.11.12 | "Keep believing that."
keep being wrong, sir. :) |
ViralOblivion
10.11.12 | @fourth no of course not haha I need to jam these guys soon |
Emim
10.11.12 | YEAH MAMA CALLED LIFE |
sniper
10.11.12 | hi emim |
VlacDrac
10.11.12 | I sit, in my desolate room, no lights, no music,
Just sit there, I've killed everyone
I'm away forever, but I'm feeling better
|
Uranium
10.11.12 | and yet i forget that nu-metal is even still relevant |
sniper
10.11.12 | it isn't |
Emim
10.11.12 | sup snipe
"and yet i forget that nu-metal is even still relevant"
it isn't. |
Uranium
10.11.12 | thank god i thought i was oblivious to another popular subculture |
sniper
10.11.12 | just chillin ya know.
i've heard 6 of these albums first person to guess which ones is a loser GO! |
Uranium
10.11.12 | all teh ones thay ply on rdio= |
Emim
10.11.12 | i would guess deftones, system of a down, rage, incubus, mudvayne and linkin park? |
XingKing
10.11.12 | Yes, Viral. It still holds up. |
sniper
10.11.12 | slipknot instead of mudvayne, so close. |
Emim
10.11.12 | damnit that would have been my next choice |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | Yeah slipknot are one of the only nu bands I stil bother to listen to anymore, even if it's rarely |
Metalstyles
10.11.12 | Dig quite a few of those records, yep yep. How you doin' (today) Emim? Also, I'm with you on the Incubus point (too diverse/good to be nu metal - that is a horrible reasoning). |
Emim
10.11.12 | Pretty good, styles. Good to see you around, bro. I think I got a few of these from your list (Unloco and Nothingface most likely). Just made this because I haven't been on a substantial nu-metal kick for a long time, been too busy listening to all of Rabbit Junk's stuff and being on a general JP Anderson binge. |
Metalstyles
10.11.12 | Good for you man, Rabbit Junk's awesome. Anxiously waiting for Anderson to put out something new, doesn't matter to me if it's under the Rabbit Junk or The Named moniker. I haven't been on a substantial nu-metal kick either (have listened to P.O.D. and Mudvayne rather regularly though) but I just got the new Nonpoint album (haven't listened yet so I don't know if it's any good) so who knows what that might bring with it haha. |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | As nu metal fans, how is Ill niño? I remember loving them |
ReturnToRock
10.11.12 | 7, 9, 12, 13, are all boss. 18 should have been the debut. 20 should have been Prophecy. 21 could also have been Mesmerize or Hypnotize.
Ill Nino is shit, Lucca - even when I was into nu-metal I never liked them. |
Metalstyles
10.11.12 | Ill Nino's debut is a decent record imo. Not groundbreaking or anything, but it's straight-up, pissed off nu metal. Nothing spectacular, but if you're into such stuff, it's worth giving a spin to. |
ReturnToRock
10.11.12 | Nonpoint are better. |
Ovrot
10.11.12 | SOAD isn't nu-metal |
ReturnToRock
10.11.12 | It was in the beginning (s/t and Toxicity). |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.11.12 | I think soad are nu metal, theyre just the best one imo |
JamieTwort
10.11.12 | Nu-metal sucks for the most part. Burn My Eyes is a good album though (although I wouldn't call it nu-metal). |
BigBlob
10.11.12 | WHERE IS THE COBRA!?
THE GOLD COBRA?! |
bach
10.11.12 | I wouldn't consider a lot of this Nu-Metal (SOAD, Rage, Incubus, Deftones). But hey, nice list. |
Metalstyles
10.11.12 | "Nonpoint are better."
Well yeah, that's a given :) |
Keyblade
10.11.12 | lol @ the name of the last band |
defjaw83
10.11.12 | Machine Head only slightly drifted into nu-metal with The Burning Red to be honest. Burn My Eyes is def not nu-metal |
defjaw83
10.11.12 | Used to dig a lot of these bands back in the day. Still listen to SCIENCE quite a lot. Dry Kill Logic were cool |
ReturnToRock
10.11.12 | @defjaw HELLO SUPERCHARGER!?!?!? |
defjaw83
10.11.12 | Ahhh, forgot all about Supercharger, which is a good thing to be honest! |
ChuckyTruant
10.11.12 | Sevendust rules |
MudIdol
10.11.12 | Nothingface, 40 Below Summer, and Mudvayne are here. Good list. |
ReturnToRock
10.11.12 | ...and Static-X, and (hed) p.e., and Papa Roach, and fuckin' Korn for fucksakes! |
ReturnToRock
10.11.12 | Mushroomhead, American Head Charge, Downthesun, Trust Company, No One, Anyone, The Union Underground, Limp effing Bizkit! |
ReturnToRock
10.11.12 | Orgy! |
IndianaWarLord
10.11.12 | dude i love this shit. i am a product of nu metal and ill never deny it no matter how much this site loathes the subgenre! |
Sapient.
10.11.12 | 5, 8, 12, 17, and 18 are all good. although slipknot's s/t is better than vol. 3 by a long shot |
Emim
10.11.12 | "where's spineshank and powerman 5000?"
not here, dude. i didn't make a comprehensive list of every nu-metal album i enjoy |
Emim
10.11.12 | I hid it. Try to find them. |
EyeForAnEye
10.11.12 | 22.
Yes. |
Itwasthatwas
10.11.12 | Meh I wouldn't call either RATM or Burn my Eyes era Machine nu metal but it's a relatively fine line. SCIENCE is absolutely a nu metal album, there's no real case to be made to the contrary. |
bloc
10.11.12 | un-metal |
Emim
10.11.12 | I get it! |
OmairSh
10.11.12 | And you judge my death metal taste |
Emim
10.12.12 | When you pick a bunch of shitty vocalists, yes I do. |
OmairSh
10.12.12 | Well at least I don't pick a whole shitty genre |
undertakerpt
10.12.12 | 5,10,21 = classics!
9 = dissapointing |
Emim
10.12.12 | "Well at least I don't pick a whole shitty genre"
And that's the worst part of it. Death Metal is infinitely more varied and filled with talent than nu-metal, and I still managed to pick relatively better bands than you.
2deep4u |
OmairSh
10.12.12 | Clearly you didn't read it properly, it was a "vocalists" list, not a band one,so the bands were irrelevant. But since you mentioned it, Deftones, Linkin Park, Slipknot are better than Dark Tranquillity, Opeth and In Flames? Don't make me laugh.... Too late, already did. |
Emim
10.12.12 | Chino Moreno is a better vocalist than any you put, plus there's also Gavin Hayes, Max Cavalera, Serj Tankian, Zach de la Rocha, Lynn Strait, Brandon Boyd, and the guy from sicmonic whose name escapes me.
Anywho...since you obviously can't read, I said "relatively" better bands. Meaning, that out of the pools of music our two lists pulled from, mine are better in relation to that pool. |
Emim
10.12.12 | Just chill, man. You don't have to prove anything to me. |
Itwasthatwas
10.12.12 | lol so much anger omair |
OmairSh
10.12.12 | Listen I respect a difference of opinion. Its just the way it's conveyed that can be annoying at times, with a kind of condescending tone, that's pretty ubiquitous on the internet, and a lot on this site. Anyway no hard feelings. |
Tobmast
06.08.13 | where is SCARS OF LIFE. They're the best nu-metal band ever!!! |
xstaytrue18x
08.04.14 | 7 is heavy as fuck. |
Emim
08.04.14 | Old list ahoy! |

08.04.14 | Reminds me how dumb Snoxall could get. |
