| Puberty/early Teenage Times (2000 - 2002)
Puberty, all of us went through it and most of us had hard times during that phase. | 1 | | Korn Korn
I remember listening to this album 24/7 during the whole 2001. This album was all I needed to start my day, I used to think it was a masterpiece. To be honest, I still think this album is excellent. | 2 | | Mushroomhead XX
I bought this album when I was an angsty 7th grader, and it was amazing! When I first listened to it I was totally blown away, it was really insane, and the lyrics were my favorite. I still think this album is great | 3 | | Metallica Ride The Lightning
For Whom The Bell Tolls was the first "riffy" song I ever learned to play in guitar, I was only 12 and felt like a total pro because of it hehe. This is the album that got me into soloing. | 4 | | Mudvayne L.D. 50
Another "insane" album for me at the time. Back then I did not know anything about odd-time signatures, and had no interest for the technical levels in music, but this album came pretty much like a punch to the face. I loved every single song in this album. Another album from that time that is excellent. | 5 | | Chevelle Wonder What's Next
Back then, I all cared for was heaviness, but this particular album changed that. Pete's voice instantly hooked me up, it was also pretty much the only album I could play from start to finish in my mom's car without her complaining about the "noise." | 6 | | Slipknot Slipknot
Oh yeaaaah! I'm a tough 6th grader!
I remember seeing the video for Wait and Bleed and thinking "OMG! these guys are heavy as hell!" a couple of days later, I bought the album. Next week I was like the BIGGEST slipknot fan in my school. (come on, I was just 11!) | 7 | | Deftones Around The Fur
OK, from all the bands of that time, this is the ONLY band I'm a fan of, White Pony is sincerely one of my top 5 albums ever.
White Pony was too bizarre and laidback for me back then, but Around The Fur was another album I just loved, and still do! I felt like it was perfectly balanced between heaviness and soft moments. | 8 | | Spineshank The Height of Callousness
I got this for my 13th birthday, had never heard anything from them, but my friend who gave it to me it said "if you don't like it, you may kick my balls." He was right, I LOVED it, it was one of the heaviest albums I owned and also the one who got me into industrial. They became one of my favorite bands a year later with "Self-Destructive Pattern" which is in my opinion, one of the best "nu metal" albums. | 9 | | The Offspring Americana
I wasn't much into punk back then, but this album was just too damn catchy, I loved every single song in it. This album was perfect for parties, it just cheered everyone up and made them sing along. | 10 | | Kittie Spit
Another one I got during 6th grade. I saw the video for Charlotte and saidd "Wooow, those chicks are cool... and hot!" I got this album right away, and showed it to everyone in my school, it was like "Dude, you've got to listen to Kittie, they're chicks who play heavy as hell!" hahaha, how pathetic! Anyway, I used to praise Kittie and I gave my first kiss listening to the song Brackish. | |

05.15.08 | 3 and 8 ftw
height of callousness is some of the heaviest nu-metal you're likely to hear. you're right too - their follow-up is better. | Cuban Pete
05.15.08 | same here for 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 9 and 10. 1 is their best by far and 2-5 and 8 are still good. 4 is by far my favorite nu metal album. | VicariousIntent
05.15.08 | Agreed on almost this whole list, the story with Kittie made me smile a bit. These are good albums to get started on metal and stuff with.
Welcome to the site by the way. | IsItLuck?
05.15.08 | Korn, Mudvayne, Slipknot, Offspring, Green Day, Deftones, Tool were basically the summation of the childhood up until 8th grade. And then it all changed. Thank God. Still, Deftones, Tool and Green Day (Dookie, 1000 slappy hours) are pretty good. | IsItLuck?
05.15.08 | Also, I second your comment about Korn's self-titled. But I think it's good, nothing terrible though | foreverendeared
05.15.08 | 4,5,7 | 72haha72
05.15.08 | Those CD's bring both great and awful memories to my mind, but I can't imagine what my puberty would have been without them. Hybrid Theory, Infest, Through the Eyes, Hooray For Boobies, and Significant Oher would be 11 - 15 =P | YouAreMySilence
07.19.08 | korn? mushroomhead? slipknow? kitte? you must of been a hatefilled, disturbed little devil haha. | unclereich
11.26.19 | haha | botb
11.26.19 | I have really good memories of playing drums to Toxicity - SOAD a lot. And listening to Illusion of Safety/Artist in the Ambulance and later Deja Entendu in like 8th grade. | unclereich
11.26.19 | I jammed a lot of Johnny cash and wished I was living in the 60s and not in 2008 | botb
