Bad opinions • Page 591

Staind could NOT write. They had like 4 decent songs.

Mark Tremonti from Creed was an interesting guitarist wasted in the wrong genre though.

Oh and the album that holds up best that was real nu-metal has to be a Sevendust one.

Fuel and Finger Eleven's albums hold up better than Sevendust, but they never really fit nu metal anyway.

 

Nu metal isn't an insult and there are/were plenty of good bands in the style, just a lot of bad shit to like any other "of the moment" genre

 

I like that song

 

the guy from shinedown has a legitimately excellent voice

also i listened to a lot of skillet

 

I love slipknot

 

i remember One-X got a lot of hate for them going "emo" but that album was terrific

was also a huge shinedown fan

 

Breaking Benjamin rocks

 

let's stop this conversation before the papa roach nerds that legitimately still like this stuff come in

 

my wife told me that the new Brand New album sounded like Finger Eleven and honestly I couldn't listen to it again without hearing it

 

So, I was just listening to a new album and I was curious if other people feel the same way, but when I hear songs that we're previously released as singles or b-sides and then rerecorded for an album to match production, I often like the original.

The best examples I can think of are:

New Disaster by I Am The Avalanche
Let's Get Dead by New Year's Day
A Doe To A Deer by Los Campesinos!

This isn't always the case, but it bothers me when I'm listening to an album all the way through and I hear the "lesser" version of a song haha.

 

Papa Roach- Infest was the first record I bought with a PA sticker when I was in middle school

 

Hell yeah I love how this thread comes back to Breaking Benjamin like every 1.5 months

 

One-X is a great album i won't hear otherwise. Pain, Animal I Have Become, Riot, Never Too Late I mean really

 

I play the opening riff of So Cold every time i pick up a guitar

 

Three Days Grace is my favorite of that bunch. I still think One-X is a great album. Breaking Benjamin is okay too, they’ve just released the same album five or six times now. I really enjoyed Phobia back in high school.

 

i don't know what these are but Three Days Grace was dope when I was 14

 

Didn't Rivers Cuomo have a hand in writing this? No joke, when I was a Weezer boardie (Maladroit era), there was a war between Weezer and Cold fans over something but I cannot remember what the genesis was.

 

Did someone say Cold

 

hell yeah

 

I'm thinking of "Stupid Girl" by Cold, not "So Cold" by Breaking Benjamin. Woops.

 

crossfade is the only cold that matters

 

This is the first nu-grunge related opinion in here I can get down with. Weathered was the first CD I ever bought. Not even ashamed. My Sacrifice and Bullets were bangers to 12 year old swboyd.

no. just no. leave. and unplug the jukebox on your way out.

Or the Smash Mouth nerds on the tour forum. My contempt for them shows up every 1.5 months in the damn Riot Fest thread.

 

Now that I'm reflecting on music from my formative years: The Curse is Atreyu's best album by a country mile.
