The motion man remix of Linkin Park "in the end" that was on their remix album.

what don't you like the new Otep?
Yeah, you're right about Killswitch.
The new Otep sounds great, but it just grates after 40 minutes, it's an emptyheaded Slipknot clone, with none of the melodies. Otep claims to be a big poet, but all it amounts to is adolescent whining, and badly done at that. Hearing, "I hate my life!" over and over just gets tiring after a while. A tale of sound and fury, etc. etc. etc.
("Warhead" is an okay tune, though)

Seriously, though, "Blood Pigs" knocked me out. I was a little disappointed with all the 'rapping' on their last record - is there less this time? (I should just go listen to the damn thing!)

I always do 3 cd sets. I made a blues 3cd set, a hip hop 3cd set, two 80's 3 cd set, 10 indie rock 3 cds set, a Jandek 3cd set, a Prince 3 cd set... This is totally arbitrary.
- Based on this thread so far, it sounds like there's a very strong, enjoyable single "Least Worst of Nu-Metal," but it also sounds like stretching it into 3 discs is gonna be tough. Even by the standards of the folks here who have the most interest in the genre.
Yes, you are right. I will try to do a 2 cd set.
- Personally, I'm only gonna second what's already been said: "Chop Suey" is a good song, and there's a good bit of Deftones stuff out there worth inclusion.

"Broken" was a last minute addition because I wanted another power ballad. It might've been inappropriate.
"The Reason" itself isn't too nu-metal but the band is and their other songs suck. It's a bit of a stretch I suppose but I don't find it too inappropriate.
"Last Resort" is terrible. I might enjoy its presence on the mix because it's pretty fucking hysterical, but I wanted to make the most legitimate case possible for nu-metal as a truly worthwhile genre. It's not a great case but I think it probably works OK.

Can't have System without 'Sugar', which is far and away their greatest song. (they are obv 'nu-mental')
'Wait and bleed' seconded, as it is a pretty little folk song; bizkit's 'break stuff' was fucking iconic. And Pitchshifter were pretty decent, too, not that I can think of any song titles off the top of my head. Marylin Manson's 'Rock is dead' was also pretty damn near classic.
+ That remix of Rob Zombie's 'Dragula'!

However, ignoring my argument entirely, I would never call Static-X nu-metal (unless you call Rob Zombie or Ministry or Prong nu-metal, which seems ridiculous). System of a Down is not nu-metal, either.

I dunno about saying that Static-X isn't industrial, Good Dr. Static-X's "Wisconsin Death Trip" (or whatever it's called) encompasses a lot of industrial elements. Rob Zombie is more industrial just because he samples a B-movie 20 times per song? Frankly, Rob Zombie has gone downhill, now that I think about it. That's too bad. Viva "La Sexorcista"!
