the nu-metal canon

Papa Roach 'Last Resort' has to be in the canon!

I need to relisten but I’m fairly certain Project 86 had some nu metal cuts.

it's a stretch since these are from outside the scene and kinda late to the game at that. but these ayumi hamasaki songs would be in my personal nu metal canon -

"Microphone" possibly even more so. I love the whole Rock 'n' Roll Circus album.

can we (or i, i guess) get brad to listen to methods of mayhem or vanilla ice's "hard to swallow" LP by mentioning them itt?

it could happen

I would like to submit "numbskull" (1999) by ash as a weird case of nu-metal influence warping a non-nu-metal band's sound to hilarious effect

Is there any good jammy or prog nu metal

I mean I know there is, but I’m thinking more like a band where that was their overall direction

i feel like in practice this ends up inevitably sounding like tool. i also can't think of a band where this is their whole thing, as opposed bands who had one album where they tried it (mudvayne's the end of all things to come and dir en grey's uroboros are the two possibilities that came to mind)

that nothingface album isn't exactly prog but it's not not proggy. hm

xp with Brad...

The second Mudvayne album, The End of All Things to Come, is Tool-ish prog-metal disguised as nu-metal. They even got David Bottrill, who worked with Tool and King Crimson, to produce it.

Their next album kinda stuck to this direction, but headed a little more toward radio rock.

ive listened to so much nu metal this week. just had an urge to listen to freak on a leash and im doing that right now

dare i revisit the korn unplugged album?

lol i did not even listen to it, cannot see the point of it

i listened to it ironically a few years ago while high in a hotel bedroom at a hot springs resort on my 33rd birthday. definitely wasn't good

but i am now owning my love of korn so maybe im ready now

i had completely forgotten about the existence of "wicked" featuring chino moreno

That’s funny because the only thing I ever remembered about that album was that exact track and their cover of “lowrider”

omg i forgot how much of a jam this is

animosity is def the best sevendust record that i've heard but it's like... very un-nu-metal for the most part. "shine" is an amazing song but i also thing it embodies what i'm talking about

Animosity is good. the songwriting finally utilizes Lajon's voice properly.

"Xmas Day" is great

going by your op, either of the first two Will Haven recs, qualify maybe?

xp

i finally checked out snot... get some feels a little too funk metal, maybe? but strait up is kind of a scene classic, surprisingly really awesome throughout

i also finished this mix of nu-metal remixes over the weekend and i'm sooo happy with it

https://www.mixcloud.com/brad-nelson4/double-exposures-vol-82-everything-that-i-am-rearranging/

1. kittie: safe (kmfdm inc. remix)
2. mudvayne: dig (future evolution remix)
3. static-x: love dump (mephisto odyssey's voodoo mix)
4. godflesh: crush my soul (ultramixedit)
5. korn: here to stay (bt's managed anger mix)
6. orgy: stitches (green velvet mix)
7. limp bizkit: nookie (androids vs. las putas remix)
8. nine inch nails: the hand that feeds (photek straight mix)

this is awesome so far i am very excited for the BT korn remix!

this kittie/KMFDM remix gives me serious buffy vibes
