Due to popular demand, good Nu Metal thread.

[Trev]

Never really got into Korn, few good songs but so much filler padding out the albums

[Carnage]

Manhole/Tura Satana were fucking dreadful. I remember reading about Human Waste Project and liking the idea of them, until I actually heard them. Poor, and same story with Snot.

Hold on now lads. While it's great to see you all excusing yourselves for your embarrassing nu metal purchases, this thread was created in the hope of a few recs so don't be afraid to post up tonnes of albums that you do like.

Sound

Possibly only that Machine Head tracksuit video is more embarrassing than this

Only rec I can add that might be unknown to ya is an album I won off a Christian radio station that had a rock/metal show in the mid-nineties:

I never checked out any of their other stuff, but did at least get my money's (£0) worth of listens out of this one

Man we've rakes of threads derailed by how shit it all is. Are there any albums that you like from the era?

That wasn't even bad I'd nearly chance the album. Never heard of em

[astfgyl]

Why do you all feel the need to make excuses and add caveats to just recommending albums?

I think that's hilarious

[Eoin McLove]

I remember a song on a Metal Hammer CD from the late 90s by a band called Hybrid UK that was really cool. Catchy as hell nu metal with some kind of really fast dance element to it. I have no idea about that sort of music so I can't get at a more accurate term.

[Eoin McLove]

Dub maybe? Like a nu metal Asian Dub Foundation.

Aside from the obvious stuff - Korn, Deftones, SOAD - the only album I can kinda remember liking is actually the second Tura Satana album. Which is fucking embarrassing!

[Eoin McLove]

Listening to Hybrid UK put me in mind of King Prawn. Fried in London on now. What a great album.

[Carnage]

Didn't like any of their proper stuff, but his one stuck with me for some reason. Off a free CD somewhere:

Orange 9mm had a few good songs but I haven't listened to them in a long time. Were they nu metal or more of a post hardcore kind of thing? Must revisit.
