I can't stand that new Otep album.

Any nu-metal other than them and SOAD is pretty much worthless.

Linkin Park: Defend them. I dare you.

And I agree with this too! But I also think Linkin Park are a not-bad pop band.

what don't you like the new Otep? I haven't checked it out yet - it's been on a pile of stuff I haven't gotten to for a few days. The last one - especially "Blood Pigs" - was pretty great. Plus, Wifey and I really wanna have a threesome with her.

Can't say i like any of these, except maybe SOAD's Chop Suey coz at least they sounded like they were doing something different, & maybe the odd Deftones track.

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)
― abegrand, Friday, 30 July 2004 07:00 (twenty years ago) link
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!)

This isn't a top ten ever, it's not even necessarily my favorite songs by these artists, but if you don't like any of these songs, wtf are you doing on this thread. you don't believe in a least worst of nu-metal, you're just being a troll.
Evanescence - "Bring Me To Life"Linkin Park - "Faint"Limp Bizkit - "Nookie"Deftones - "Minerva"System Of A Down - "Chop Suey"Disturbed - "Down With The Sickness"Limp Bizkit - "No Sex"Korn - "Freak On A Leash"Deftones - "Change (In The House Of Flies)Linkin Park - "In The End"

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.
Thank You and thanks to all of you.

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"!

I think Ned likes Linkin Park because they've got tons and tons of Depeche Mode in them! (which is why I like them too)
The "self-righteous suicide" and "dis-oooord-der" ones by System of a Down are great...
Break Stuff by Limp Bizkit is pretty hard to deny. Seems to mark the era better than any other song....It's epic hissy fit mosh rock.

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 badKilgore = Godsmack trying to do doom, passUltraspank = zzzzzZZZzzzzZZZzzPrimer 55 = Guy Fieri rapping over shitty g-funk 'metal'
ok back to thrash it is
