i refuse to refer to sepultura - roots as a nu-metal album

I enjoy SOAD and have taken huge amounts of abuse from it from basically everyone I know; questioning my taste in metal, raised eyebrows, nervous coughs, pregnant silence, darting glances when I have mentioned them. I will continue to listen to them, never speaking on this topic again except to mention, finally, that Mesmerize is a really fun metal album, especially "Radio/Video", and that many zit-faced teenage introverts would agree with me.

If you consider Sepulture or Will Haven nu-metal, I'll vouch for all kinds of great songs.
Beyond that, I can't go there.

Maybe the Jonathan Davis guest scat solos and DJ Lethal guest scratches were just by accident?

I might even put Primus's The Anti-Pop on that list.
Yeah, well does the tribal drumming make it a World Music album? xpost

Nu-metal sucks. Great and nu-metal are oxymoronic. I'd rather douse myself in gasoline than ever listen to nu-metal again.

Roots is 100% nu-metal - it's practically Ross Robinson + some session guys. They do not get a free pass just because they once wrote Troops Of Doom in a Belo Horizonte slum.

Blood Brothers are a bit nu-metal, aren't they?

They have the Ross Robinson connection - since he "discovered" them and produced "Burn Piano Island Burn". They're not straight-up nu-metal but it's an ingredient in their sound.

Is Will Haven nu-metal? Their 1st and 3rd albums are immaculate.

Blood Brothers + nu-metal = ??

"One Step Closer" is way better than both "Crawling" (which I never liked) and "In The End"

I like the Disturbed cover of "Sound of Silence" despite the dripping auto-tune
and their second album actually

"Stupify" is one of the few nu-metal songs I like too
