Nu Metal bands you like

So, the title says it all. I made this so the ones here that like nu metal can discuss about the bands we like. So about me, I like:
Godsmack (Although for me it's Alternative), because their songs are really cool, and they have great lyrics and the "Changes" DVD is simply awesome, and theitr drums are great. Sully's voice is quite unique, and their lyrics are pretty nice.
Slipknot, because of their energy, the outfits look great, and their lyrics make me laugh, besides their live shows are quite impressive. Also Vol. 3 is a change, IMO they found that they don't have to scream for everything, and they prove it with a great accoustic song.
Disturbed: David's voice is great. and with their thrid album,. 10.000 fists" they try a new, more melodic sound. besides Dan Donegan proves himself as a great guitar player
KoRn: But only the first albums.
Evanescence, because Amy lee has a great voice, but their last album, "The Open Door" was a big letdown for me.
Also Adema, TrustCompany, Breaking Benjamin, Linkin Park, Chevelle, Mudvayne, Soil and I enjoy Metallica's St. Anger.
So that's it. If you have band suggestions you can and must post them as well. If you don't like Nu metal, please don't post bashing bands and attacking with things like "X band sucks" or "Nu metal sucks". Please, let's have some respect for the other fellow MSers taste.

Chevelle's new CD is out - it's pretty good, sounds like all their other albums - which is fine if you're a Chevelle fan like me!

If new in flames is considered "Nu" then i'm all for it lol, apart from maybe The Chosen Pessimist, i love all their new songs, especially Delight and Angers and My Sweet Shadow

Written by Valentin B on 07.09.2009 at 13:48 LOL POSER HATE HATE HATE!   Nah, some of the new material ain't that terrible after all, there are "non-poser" bands that suck much more, I remember I liked Touch of Red a lot back in the days. Haven't checked anything after Soundtrack to Your Escape though, tbh

Written by Elio on 07.09.2009 at 14:01 try Delight and Angers, The Mirror's Truth, Take This Life, Dead End, Crawl Through Knives, etc.  though i won't deny that as a whole the albums aren't too interesting(too many slow emo-like parts)

Written by Valentin B on 07.09.2009 at 14:06 Yeah I agree that as stand-alone songs they are much better cause an album like that sounds flat after a bit. I know Take This Life and Crawl Through Knives, actually now I remember that I gave a chance to that album (can't remember its name atm) but I wasn't impressed.

What a fun topic  I don't know the exact definition of "Nu Metal" but I do enjoy bands such as Coal Chamber, Static-X, Mushroomhead, Insane Clown Posse, Five Finger Death Punch, and (unfortunately) Slipknot. Does anyone know about the beef between Slipknot and Mushroomhead? What do you think?

Written by brapp32 on 25.09.2009 at 20:58 If i'm not mistaken there's always been a struggle over the masks too. Mushroomhead accusing Slipknot of stealing the idea...

Considering Mushroomhead has been around two years longer than Slipknot, wearing masks streight from the get-go I would probably side with them.

Written by SerratedSyringe on 27.09.2009 at 01:40 But masks have been worn by bands long before even Mushroomhead started so the entire feud between Mushroomhead and Slipknot is ridiculous.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 27.09.2009 at 12:45 I agree. Mushroom head was not the first, nor the last band to wear masks on stage. However, at the time of thier formation they were original, both in appearance and sound. Come two years later and a little band out of Iowa named Slipknot shows up with a similar sound and image, gets a major record deal and blows up. I can see how this would stirr some emotions.

For me, Nu Metal was just a matter of age. As a teenager, there was a time when Slipknot and Disturbed were my all time favourits...But now, not only i don't like them that much but also find them pretty....ehmm...stupid. Thus, Disturbed's indestructible is good to listen to from time to time for a change.

I am nothing like the above two posters! I got into metal during the late 80's, but mostly the early 90's. So by the time nu-metal came along, I was already a metalhead who loved most metal genres. (Traditional, power, death, thrash, grind, doom...etc) Nu metal was fresh when it came out, though most bands of that style don't do much for me. However, I very much like the first two Korn albums. I also love Slipknot, though I would debate that they are not really a nu-metal band at all. I disagree with "Come Clarity" being nu metal. To me, any band that features thrash or blast beats, or death metallish riffs cannot be nu-metal.

Well I rediscovered Static-X recently and IMO they're not as Nu as people say they are they're more industrial than anything else, even if their latest albums aren't as industrial as the first ones. Still it's a really cool catchy band. Also, Chevelle´s new album is really cool, even if I can't help myself thinking they take a lot, ALOT of elements from Tool.

Written by +{Jonas}+ on 20.11.2009 at 04:17 Agree. I think they just get labled as Nu A) because they were around in the 90's, and B) because they have occasional rapping bits.

Korn: they manage to get a lot of emotion in their songs without sounding too whiny and the rap influence is actually added very well, unlike Linkin Park and Papa Roach which fail. Clawfinger: another band that puts rap influence to good use. The vocalist has a pretty awesome voice and the lyrics are awesome. I consider them more industrial metal though, but they are considered one of the pioneers of nu-metal actually. System of a Down: very creative music, I consider them more alt-metal though. Drowning Pool: Their first album is awesome, their other two are okay but not as much. Their fourth album is probably gonna suck as their latest single sounds like a lame Nickleback clone. I like Disturbed's mid-late stuff, I like Down with the Sickness from their first album but not much more. And I've heard a few Godsmack songs that are pretty cool, mainly from their "Faceless" album, their latest stuff seems to sound like shitty Nickleback clone music though. Oddly enough, there is that one Nickleback song "Burn it to Ground" that has a pretty awesome riff in it. Anyways, that's pretty much the majority of nu-metal that I like, most of the others get pretty annoying to listen to for me.

Written by [user id=2084] on 06.03.2010 at 08:45 Perhaps he should look up the definition of oxymoron, then somehow apply it to the title of this thread. Trolling in a nu-metal related thread? How original, never seen it done before. Good to see his thoughts on it though, I can sleep better at night now that I know his opinion on nu metal.
