| Best nu metal
My personal favorite nu albums in no order. Doesn't necessarily have to be a primarily nu metal album, nu influenced work can be here too. Feel free to tell me how trash my taste is, chances are I don't like yours either :P
Jk, whatever you say I'll respect your opinion. Just be constructive.
I'll do the rest when I'm not lazy | | 1 |  | Linkin Park
Hybrid Theory
Classic, no explanation needed.
Notable songs: In the End, Runaway, Papercut, One Step Closer, Points of Authority, With You, By Myself, Forgotten | | 2 |  | Linkin Park
Meteora
Better than HT tbh
Notable songs: Hit the Floor, Lying From You, Easier to Run, From the Inside, Faint, Somewhere I Belong, Breaking the Habit, Numb, Figure .09 | | 3 |  | My Ticket Home
Strangers Only
Really strong nu resurgence album | | 4 |  | Static-X
Wisconsin Death Trip
Simplistic but extremely creative. Interesting vocals and great combination of nu metal and industrial music. | | 5 |  | Static-X
Project Regeneration Vol. 1
A bit uninspired but nonetheless a great tribute to Static-X. The best use of electronics on any of their albums, and infections melodies. | | 6 |  | Ocean Grove
The Rhapsody Tapes
Weird and quirky, but quite satisfying. Atmospheric, groovy, and very entertaining. Electronics do wonders on the album.
Notable songs: Beers, Intimate Alien, Mr. Centipede, The Wrong Way, Stratosphere Love, Hitachi, Thunderdome | | 7 |  | Ocean Grove
Flip Phone Fantasy
Nostalgic and poppy with a metal edge.
Notable songs: Junkie$, Sense Again, Baby Cobra, Sunny, Neo, Shimmer, Thousand Golden People | | 8 |  | RED (USA)
End of Silence
A little on the generic side occasionally but very emotional and passionate. Beautiful and haunting.
Notable songs: Already Over, Breathe Into Me, Lost, Pieces, Break Me Down, Hide, Already Over (pt. 2) | | 9 |  | RED (USA)
Innocence and Instinct
Their best album. Amazing use of strings, great vocals, hard hitting riffs. Orchestral metal done right.
Notable songs: Death of Me, Mystery of You, Start Again, Ordinary World, Shadows, Out From Under, Never Be the Same, Confession (What's Inside My Head), Fight Inside, Forever, Take It All Away | | 10 |  | RED (USA)
Declaration
Inventive use of nu metal-esque sound. Great vocals and interesting harmonies.
Notable songs: All For You, Infidel, The Victim, The Evening Hate, From the Ashes, Float, Sever | | 11 |  | Deftones
Around the Fur
Their best album. Love the post-hardcore vibes mixed with Chino's whispered voice.
Notable songs: My Own Summer, Headup, Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away), Rickets, Lotion, Dai the Flu, Around the Fur, Lhabia | | 12 |  | Nonpoint
Statement
Very good vocalist helps distinguish the band from its peers. Riffs hit hard. Gets a little repetitive however.
Notable songs: Mindtrip, Hive, Tribute | | 13 |  | Taproot
Gift
Great riffs with a solid tone. Singing is nasily but well done.
Notable songs: Again and Again, Mirror's Reflection, Smile, Now, 1 Nite Stand, Believed, Mentobe, I, Impact | | 14 |  | Taproot
Welcome
A different, interesting take in the genre. Really appreciate the slower pace, makes it stand out among the other nu bands. Slow but crunchy riffs define the album
Notable songs: Mine, Poem, Art, Myself, Time, Sumtimes, Like | | 15 |  | Celldweller
Celldweller
Quite possibly top 10 best electronic/nu metal hybrids and industrial metal | | 16 |  | Thousand Foot Krutch
Phenomenon
Hip-hop/nu metal infused album with an extra emphasis on the hip-hop. Different but interesting take on the genre. Good hooks and pleasant overall. | | 17 |  | Stepa
Stepa
Extremely creative and different nu sound. Vocals are definitely the highlight. Overly nostalgic.
Notable songs: King of the Fus, Aquarium, Shine, Spaceships & Airplanes, Spaztik, Mountain, Free | | 18 |  | LeVeL
Level
Limp Bizkit without the cheese and wangst. Pretty solid, although obscure. | | 19 |  | Bring Me the Horizon
Post Human: Survival Horror
Chaotic, bizarre, and sporadic. Great use of electronics and guitar riffs. | | 20 |  | TRUST Company
The Lonely Position of Neutral
Great atmosphere mixed with some of nu metal's best riffs. Vocals are a bit weak but very different sounding.
Notable songs: Hover, Downfall, Figure 8, The Fear, Falling Apart, Deeper Into You, Finally, Take It All, Running From Me | | 21 |  | Mudvayne
L.D. 50
Great, aggressive vocals, bass, riffs, thought provoking lyrics, and a all around masterful experience. A must listen.
Notable songs: -1, Cradle, Dig, Severed, Death Blooms, Internal Primates Forever, Prod | |
evilford
11.26.20 | No L.D. 50? | MxL0
11.26.20 | Oh crap I thought I had that on here. My b. | evilford
11.26.20 | Lol. Probably my fav nu metal. Some korn was aight. Is soad considered nu metal?
Idk mudvayne's bassists name on ld 50 but he's a stud | MxL0
11.26.20 | @evil Yeah pretty much. | ReturnToRock
11.26.20 | 11, 12, 20, 21 are good. 20 in particular gets a bad rap when it's a decent album.
13 and 14 are snooze-inducing to me personally.
Also, where's White Pony / SOAD S/T / Toxicity / Slipknot S/T? | 80timesthe80
11.26.20 | No Nothingface? | porcupinetheater
11.26.20 | Missed the Bizkit only one that matters. Check out Demilich | alamo
11.26.20 | Dua lipa | porcupinetheater
11.26.20 | Guaranteed it'll blow his mind | alamo
11.26.20 | Mwah | DDDeftoneDDD
11.26.20 | no Korn? Not even debut? naaaah | DDDeftoneDDD
11.26.20 | welcome to sput btw (if you are actually new) | JeremiahBullfrog
11.26.20 | No Slipknot or Korn but TWO Linkin Parks? this aint it chief. | DDDeftoneDDD
11.26.20 | Oh yeah...forgot Slipknot...and no S.C.I.E.N.C.E.

South Texas deathride
You motherfuck | JeremiahBullfrog
11.26.20 | oh and I take Significant Other over Park at any day... [2] | Snake.
11.26.20 | where is 5fdp? | TheAntichrist
11.26.20 | where's korn's eponymous? | DaveT0738
11.26.20 | Last is first, easily | Brabiz
11.26.20 | So happy i’m not the only one taking part in nu-nut november. | MxL0
11.26.20 | Haven't listened to either Korn nor Slipknot. Korn seems too emo to me, and Slip's lyrics are kinda cringe. Given, I haven't really given either of them a chance. Psychosocial seems like a good song. But idk they might not be my thing. | dedex
11.26.20 | check fugazi | Brabiz
11.26.20 | @MxL0 booooooo, a lot of Slipknot’s early stuff is just too energetic and raw to not love. Also Korn’s first album is fantastic, and they definitely have some great stuff later on here and there. | Brabiz
11.26.20 | Purity is probably my favorite Slipknot track. 10/10 | ReturnToRock
11.26.20 | 'Korn are too emo'
*includes the first two Linkin Park CD's* | MxL0
11.26.20 | @Brabiz Like I said I never really gave them a shot. I probably can't get into Iowa. Maaaybe their other stuff.
@ReturnToRock Lol well fair point. Although I find Korn more emo than LP, they're more angsty if you ask me. I dunno man, I don't really feel like listening to a song named "Daddy". They just might not be my cup of tea. I'll try them out someday. | MxL0
11.26.20 | And yeah I don't like White Pony as much as AtF. Lol that's probably gonna upset people but opinions really do be like that. | Brabiz
11.26.20 | Sad to hear you weren’t a fan of Iowa, but if you liked Paychosocial, maybe you’d enjoy more of their later stuff. I’d recommend the song Wherein The Lies Continue. Super underrated track | MxL0
11.26.20 | @normal Well I only say emo since I find the lyrics a little too overly-angsty, more so than LP (which isn't that angsty if you ask me).
And on WP I really don't like Deftones. Some tracks on WP are good, Change, Teenager, Digital Bath, Elite. The others I find kinda dull. I guess that's heresy? Haha. ATF has grown on me though, its a good album through and keeps me engaged, something that other Deftones albums don't do for me.
Never listened to SOAD so I can't say either way. | Emim
11.26.20 | 12 is one of the best out there | MxL0
11.26.20 | @normal yeah my taste is a tad bit different lol ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Maybe I'll give Korn another shot someday, maybe slip vol 3 | cb123
11.27.20 | Sunk Loto - Between Birth and Death | sixdegrees
11.27.20 | https://i.imgur.com/2NW8Pv5.jpeg | Emim
11.27.20 | Wouldn't you put Adrenaline in the same box as ATF? | Emim
11.27.20 | I meant stylistically. I would definitely call both of them nu metal. | Drifter
11.27.20 | Not seeing the bizkit 😐🤔 | Emim
11.27.20 | Yeah, I get that for sure. ATF definitely feels like the first "true" Deftones album. | ReturnToRock
11.27.20 | 'Some tracks on WP are good, Change, Teenager, Digital Bath, Elite. The others I find kinda dull.'
Feiticeira says hi... | TheAntichrist
11.27.20 | definitely give slipknot and korn a shot again | Emim
11.27.20 | Passenger and Knife Party also would like to say hi | MxL0
11.28.20 | Yeah not a huge fan of Feiticeira. Nor knife prty. Passenger has good vocals though. Besides thats an alt metal record mostly anyway, save for Elite.
I think on paper I'd like Adrenaline but that mixing is so bad I dunno if I can listen to it. I'd def vibe with that before korn or slip though. |
