Sort by: Rating | Release Date | Rating Date | Name5.0 classicDeftones White PonyHonestly, this album is way overrated, but I still love it, it's just so different. Change and Digital Bath are absolute game changers.Incubus (USA-CA) S.C.I.E.N.C.E.Incubus displays a true mastery of the nu-metal sound. This is pretty much the pinnacle of the genre. They know exactly how to mash up heavy guitars, hip-hop beats, and some sick turn tables. Of course there's plenty of other genre mashing, but that's the icing on the cake of what nu-metal is really all about.Korn Follow the LeaderPeak Korn. This is the absolute pinnacle of what Korn can do and it's definitely in my top 5 favorite albums of all time.Slipknot IowaEverything good about Slipknot is prevalent on this album. An album about a man who has nothing left to lose, a man at rock bottom. The anger is so pure and beautiful on this album.4.5 superbAttila About That LifeDumb fun chugcore with nu-metal influences. They knew exactly what they were doing and why everybody hates them for it, and they doubled down on it. Attila at their finest.Darke Complex Point OblivionDarke Complex left behind their generic brand of nu-metalcore (which was still surprisingly good) from their EP and made one of the greatest nu-metal albums of all time.Death Grips ExmilitaryDropout Kings AudioDopeFavorite album from 2018 hands down. Really excited to see what these guys do next.Korn IssuesHeaviest and darkest Korn album to date, one that explores how it truly feels to be broken, used, and thrown away.liveconformdie Circa '94Seriously the most promising band in nu-metal right now. This album fucking rules.My Ticket Home Strangers OnlyThis album is still the most consistent "puke rock" experience you can ask for today.Slipknot SlipknotYuth Forever Skeleton Youth ForeverIt's like Introvert but better and more off-putting. This is some quality shit. EDIT: After a couple more listens this is seriously high caliber shit. A fucking masterpiece.4.0 excellent(hed) p.e. BrokeAttila Guilty PleasureThis is exactly what Attila is supposed to be. They know their music is sleezy and they don't care. They aren't trying to be anything other than a binary metal band with rap influences, and honestly it's really fun.Attila VillainFuck yes party metal Attila is back and just as fun and stupid as it's supposed to beCane Hill Kill the SunCane Hill really figured out how to make their melodies sound great. We knew they could do good melodies ala Singing in the Swamp, but this is really a lot better than I would have expected.Darke Complex WidowDark, menacing, and heavy as shit. Scarecrow (the persona embodying insecurities for the lead singer, Vincente Void) kills himself to be reborn anew, as a nu-metal messiah.Darknet Morally FlexibleSolid LP, huge step up from the EP for sure. The mixing complements the songwriting so well, it's a very impressive release from such a small artist.Death Grips The Money StoreDeath Grips Bottomless PitDeftones Around the FurEmmure Look At YourselfEmmure finally figures out how to make their style of music fun to listen to. This is how they should have been from day one.Love and Death Between Here And LostHead demonstrates how integral to the good part of Korn's sound he is.Sworn In The Lovers/The DevilSworn in makes their sound a bit more bold and moves away from straight quick, heavy riffs to something slower and more pronounced, while also experimenting with good clean singing.3.5 great(hed) p.e. BlackoutBackWordz VeracityMy man Eric July pushes out some good ass libertarian-right music. The album is extremely diverse and an breath of fresh air in the over-saturated left-libertarian atmosphere of metalcore/nu-metal/rap metal.Cane Hill Too Far GoneCane Hill's biggest success is making their soft songs better, but they could use a lot more songs as heavy as Too Far Gone. That is where they are at their best. Great album all in all.liveconformdie Vol I: Cigarette LullabyMy Enemies and I Sick WorldSolid, nothing new but they do metalcore very well.Northlane AlienNorthlane releases something interesting for once, hell yeah.Pleymo Episode 2: Medicine CakeSevendust HomeSlipknot We Are Not Your KindBest album since Vol 3, maybe even better than Vol 3.Stepa StepaOne of my favorite "underground" albums because of how well produced it is for 2002, the direction this band had was actually really cool, and their EP following this shows how much they could have evolved had they kept it up.Sworn In The Death CardWhile sounding a bit whiny, it still hits hard and has some good breakdowns. Fun to listen to.Sylar Help!VCTMS Vol. II: Inside the MindVCTMS Vol. III: Halfway HappyVein.fm Errorzone3.0 goodAfterlife (USA-FL) Breaking PointHonestly, a pretty solid first record. It feels like they're really close to something great but they barely miss the mark.Cane Hill Cane HillDarknet Self-TitledDeath Grips The Powers That BDed Mis-An-ThropeDefinitely overdone style and sound, but honestly it's pulled off really well and definitely not boring to listen to. I dig it.I Prevail TRAUMAMotionless In White DisguiseBy far the best MiW album to date, and it's entirely related to how much more nu-sounding it is.My Ticket Home UnrealThe music is by no means bad, but it's definitely not Strangers Only. The more mellow tone is executed pretty damn well though.Ocean Grove The Rhapsody TapesPleymo RockPleymo KeckispassePleymo Alphabet PrisonPowerman 5000 Tonight the Stars RevoltSylar To Whom It May Concern2.5 averageCane Hill SmileCane Hill's EP was solid, but this album doesn't really add too many new good songs to the table. The sound got lower and heavier, but it doesn't hit harder to coincide. Cane Hill's biggest strength is how good they sound when they're heavy, and they do not play off that enough on this album. Plus half of it is just so damn forgettable. If they would have traded out two of the five weaker songs on the album for remastered versions of OxBlood and Time Bomb, this album could have been pretty killer and the remaining three songs would be easier to forgive.Korn The NothingIf this hit harder it would be a good freakin album. Instead it's kind of meh. Feels like a step back from the last.My Enemies and I The Beast InsideMy Enemies & I really fleshed out their sound from their EP into something more interesting and nu-metal centric (my fav) but unfortunately spend half of the album fumbling around with weak songs like Lobotomy, Black Sheep, and Save Your Breath. Perfect, Riot, Stripe and Yes-Man are good jams though.2.0 poorAttila ChaosHonestly I really wanted to like this but it doesn't have a lot of what makes Attila fun to listen to. I respect the attempt to branch out and it's not a bad album. It's fair to say their more conventional metalcore sound isn't bad. The main problem I have with it is there's less stupid party trap metal here... replacing it is more metalcore song structure... and at this point it just sounds more like a half-baked metalcore album without much self-awareness.rThe way it takes itself somewhat seriously is definitely its greatest weakness.Lifer LiferSleep Token SundowningSylar Seasons1.5 very poorPowerman 5000 New WaveSworn In ALL SMILESInstead of continuing to expand and push the boundaries, Sworn In decides to put mediocrity on front stage. I actually really like Make it Hurt and they do that style pretty well, but it just gets to whiny and drags its feet too often to be fun or interesting and ends up feeling shallow. Big disappointment.1.0 awfulKorn The Path of Totality
