Break Stuff by Limp Bizkit is pretty hard to deny.

And yet it can be done.

It's about the he said/she said bullshit.

Cellophane
Slo Burn
downset
Drain sth
Snot
Kilgore
Ultraspank
Monster Voodoo Machine
Flashpoint
Pushmonkey
Apartment 26
Taproot
Slaves On Dope
Shuvel
Primer 55
Deadlights
Union Underground
Systematic
Godhead
Nonpoint
Spineshank
No One
Pressure 4-5
Pure Rubbish
Beautiful Creatures
Soil
Flaw

YIKES!!! I think I've only heard Spineshank and Drain sth on that list. And I think I got an Apartment 26 album in the mail once, but I don't remember if I even listened to it.

This year's line-up is the best since the first year though. But, boy oh boy, they had 5 years in the nu-metal wilderness.

Does "Mash Out Posse" count as nu-metal?

Taproot, my lord theres a blast from the past.

Glassjaw were always good in at the drive in overly agitated kinda way and noone can deny the pure rawk (!) fury that is Soils "Halo".

I can;t believe no one mentioned "My December" by Linkin Park! such a great ballad for teenagers

>Beautiful Creatures<

Great band, led by Joe Leste', ex of Bang Tango, I totally recommend both albums. Velvet Revolver wish they were half this good. But this ain't nu-metal

Also they do very good ballads for teenagers.

Korn and Limp Bizkit have both done some half decent cover versions.

And that's about it.

If we're talking about the least worst of nu metal again, I was always partial to this

"Say something for the record - tell the people what you feel"

"Fuck the record... and fuck the people"

i have 'diary of jane' by breaking benjamin stuck in my head today after hearing it on the radio recently and i kinda dig it, though it might just be stockholm syndrome. it's almost like...bubblegum nu-metal? idk

ciderpress, Thursday, 29 January 2015 16:11 (nine years ago) link

one year passes...

decided to listen to some samples of bands listed upthread that I never listened to after seeing a band that sounded like Korn shitting in Mushroomhead's mouth last night, followed by a pure Soulfly clone so ridiculous that they even have "fly" in their name!

Snot = percussive and funky, not ear grating. wouldn't voluntarily listen, but not bad
Kilgore = Godsmack trying to do doom, pass
Ultraspank = zzzzzZZZzzzzZZZzz
Primer 55 = Guy Fieri rapping over shitty g-funk 'metal'

ok back to thrash it is
