Korn.
Because I like Corn... No, but seriously... I just love their music, helps me emotionally and I love the sound of Jonathan Davis. Definitely the teary eyed moment when you can feel his emotion. A lot of bands do this.. but Korn is just special and unique with it imo..
I've always been a Static X fan but. Hed (pe) and Linkin Park are pretty good too
sepultura. roots is one of the masterpieces of metal
Snot, Amen and One Minute Silence are very underrated! (I can also add old Skindred, Ill Nino and Ultraspank)
Deftones for me, their first 2 albums were fuckin fire, but damn Slipknot's and KoRn's first 2 albums are like crack
LD50, Wisconsin Death Trip, Korn self titled, Toxicity and Iowa are incredible albums
Absolutely, I’d throw white pony and around the fur up there with those too
Always amazed by your knowledge in music! Inspires me to check more out and to get a taste of different albums even if there are some bands where I struggle to find something I enjoy in their discography
This is the best compliment. I love getting people excited about checking out new stuff
Deftones would be the band I find myself going back to more than any others on this list. "White Pony" and "Fur" are both endlessly re-listenable.
Around the fur
You know the band is good when even their worst album (Adrenaline or Gore, depending who you ask) is a solid 7.
SOAD is a similar case. There's a good reason Nu Metal rejecters always try to push these bands out the Nu Metal biosphere.
IMO, you missed Nothingface. Such an underrated band. So dark and heavy but so catchy (and nowhere near cringey) when they decide to do melodic stuff. Quality-wise, they're definitely S-tier but their relative lack of impact/influence bumps them down to A.
There are too many to name them all. I forgot American Head Charge too
@@MetalTrenches i highly suggest checking them out. Just 3 (actually 4 but skip the self-titled debut) quality albums. I love AHC too but they really only had 1 good album.
@@MrJacinto0512 Shame that the vocalist of Nothingface passed away 4 years ago.
Tbh, I'd say they're generic
Nothingface are such an amazing band. To bad we will never get more music from them.
Damn was hoping Maximum the Hormone would make the list. Underrated band in the genre.
Deep cut
I like Finn a lot. I hate his politics and opinions about black and Nu metal. However, he responded to a comment I made on his video about addiction. He seemed very genuine. Decent fella 👌
Finn McKenty has exactly two types of opinion - whatever will wind people up enough to click on or comment on his videos, or whatever teenage girls agree with. Makes you think.
Naw. People are entitled to their opinions. I don’t think he changes his to upset people but we ALL capitalize on the hot takes when they arise
I just got put off him cos he hates European metal so basically everything i listen to and i dont like punk so skip
I don't know if Otep is considered Nu Metal, but I loved HOUSE OF SECRETS. That album was one of the first heavy albums I ever owned. I listened to it the other night and it's still something special.
Otep is a very good nu metal group and one of the firsts ! I think this group is very unconsidered …
For me personally i never understood why people hated on mudvaynes later stuff. I love me some lost and found. Almost as much as ld50. I think the switch to more softer vocals kinda kept them unique sounding and the instrumentals never fell off.
personally I think that Mudvayne has never made a bad album all their albums we can listen to them all easily without getting bored.
@gothinkling.j9758 Yeah, they all have a unique tone to them. I think people just like to critique the members in the band rather than the music itself.
@@gothinkling.j9758 disagree. The Beginning of all things to end and self titled are terrible, terrible records. But I’m with you on Lost and Found being great as well as The end of all things to come. L.D. 50 is a no brainer. The new game is alright I guess. Still one of the best nu metal bands hands down
Slipknot is S, come on. The Percussion alone in this band is S.
*was (Just my opinion). New song is promising though.
Their first two albums are both masterpieces, everything after that is good but nowhere near the first two (imo).
@@pinkfloydmeddle6692 first three*
After Iowa the band went down the hill
@@goatmoonwarmaster4641 I don't mean to say this in any way offensively, but do you know how many people say this about every band? Its practically all of them. I think a band's first album or 2 (generally speaking) is always considered their best, but I think that is derived from a person's expectations. Bands grow and evolve. The things that are important to them change, therefore the subject matter of their songs change. Its a double edge sword. A band can remake the same song over and over again, and they get mocked for doing so. A band changes up their sound, and they're a sellout.
watching this at the Deftones part and then noticing his sweatshirt lol
Terriercult
Totally agree that Sci fi Crimes is an S tier album. Just like to point out that even though not every Deftones album is amazing, they are absolutely S tier song writers.
Korn, Static-X, Mushroomhead, Slipknot, SOAD, (Hed) pe.. some of my favorite old school nu metal bands..
S: korn, mushroomhead
A: p.o.d., hed p.e., limp bizkit, staind, slipknot, chevelle
B: static-x, taproot, soad, cold, linkin park, mudvayne
C: coal chamber, soulfly, nonpoint, sevendust, deftones, disturbed, papa roach
D: powerman 5000, kittie
Static X is B Tier And mushroom head is S??
@@jellymayhem0 yep hot take but nostalgia plays a factor. was a mushroomhead fan since xx and took years to come around to static-x later discography.
Awesome tier list!! I really need to check out Tallah, a friend/co-worker has been talking about them a lot and It has sparked my interest
They are super fun
@@MetalTrenches They are a fun band
As dar as older bands go, I am surprised you didnt include Ill Nino. For newer bands Tetrarch would have been a good one too to add with Tallah.
Using a band's fanbase as a reason to dunk on them is always a cheap shot, and not a good argument because its not a criticism of the band's music or its members and McKenty did a LOT of that in his video, but I do agree that a shitty fanbase can be a reason to avoid any band, my go-to examples of bands I genuinely love with deranged fanatics are Tool and Megadeth.
Also I would switch Korn with Slipknot because when Korn sucked they sucked HARD, from 2003 to 2011 it was Korn's lowpoint, Slipknot's worse is just meh, and I'd argue that they're massively improving since 2019.
I have a whole Toxic Fanbase Tier List you should check out 😂
@@MetalTrenches I have and its good.
S: Chevelle, Slpknot, Otep
A: System of a down, Kittie, Fear Factory
B: Staind, Limp Biscuit, Deftones, POD
C: Korn, Papa Roach, Linkin Park, Static X, Distrubed
D: Powerman 5000, Mushroom head, Taproot, Mudvayne, kid rock
Don't know: Soulfly, Coal Chamber, Headpe, Non Point
🤘🏻
Sorry man, but this ain’t the list haha
@@raulfigueroa588 what's your list?
Honorable mentions, Ill Niño and Orgy were both pretty awesome and often get forgotten.
Rob Zombie solo should, without doubt, be considered Nu Metal.
👍🏻
I think PM5K should at least be C tier, especially if you take into account 'Anyone for Doomsday?'. That album was solid, if only it didn't get ripped off the shelves when a little thing called 9/11 occurred. Most of their albums since have been really inconsistent, so that would keep them firmly locked in C at best.
I would say that I agree with pretty much of this list and that it is more reasonable than Finn's list. It is interesting how some of the most important and long lasting nu metal bands aren't even nu metal, they only put out a couple of new metal albums: Linkin Park, Chevelle, Deftones and Disturbed. Linkin Park became an alternative rock band after two albums, Chevelle and Deftones became alternative metal bands after their first two albums, and Disturbed became a heavy metal band. Also, I don't really think that System of a Down was ever really a nu metal band as they had such a manic sound and outside influences that make them more of an alternative metal band in my opinion. I don't really have a problem with any of these bands being given the nu metal label, I just find it interesting how for most of their career the bands haven't been nu metal but people still label them as such.
The bands evolve
Solid list, especially the Tallah shout out.... incredibly chaotic but it works for their sound, great band🤘
Exactly how I would rank this list. newer nu metal bands like darko are right up there in the A tier, numetal is having a strong come back
I agree with your take on Mudvayne, I mean LD50 is so shocking, original and overall really consistent, but latter on, is like a hard butt rock.....they are good tho but really a Downfall
LD50 is my second favourite Nu Metal album after Hybrid Theory, it's amazing and really long which I'm grateful for as they really changed their sound after that.
LIMP BIZKIT IS NOTHING LESS THAN GOD TIER.
My least favourite band
Limp Bizkit really isn’t that great… imo it’s a one hit wonder with one great song and 2 ok ones but everything else from them is kinda bad.
That band is trash
They’ve had a lot of hits actually, probably like 10
You speak the truth.
Chino has an amazing, one-of-a-kind voice IMO but I guess I can see it being a bit of an acquired taste.
Totally agree with you about Soulfly. First two albums were great at the time.
Bangers
TRIBE 🖤
My favorite would be limp bizkit, love the instrumentals and the screaming parts are also kinda pumping to me
This might be debatable to some people, but…
Nu Metal is Top 5 in Best Metal Genres (my opinion).
🤘🏻
@Pretzel Boy Productions Yeh!
FFS get this guy to 100k subs hit that red button! Love your tier lists! P.S. that Deftones inspired Hoodie with the dog on it is badass!!!! By the way you need to listen to Dysfunction that is the best album by Staind.
MUDSHUVEL!
S: Korn, Deftones, Slipknot
A: Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Static-X, Sevendust
B: Soulfly, Mudvayne, Coal Chamber, Nothingface, System of a Down, Staind, Cold
C: Dark New Day, Ill Nino, Nonpoint, Skrape, Tallah, Tetrarch, Dope, Spineshank, Adema, Ultraspank, Snot, Stuck Mojo
D: Mushroomhead, Papa Roach, POD, HedPE, Taproot, Flaw, Powerman 5000, Stereomud, Primer 55, , Switched, Kittie
Disturbed and Chevelle are not nu metal. They are more alt-metal.
And so many bands always get left out of these lists when it comes to Nu-Metal. I am 41 and was in my late teens, and early 20's through the beginnings, height of, and end of the first wave of nu-metal. I went to nu metal shows, both big and more underground. I was friends with some people in some nu metal bands. Brought in nu metal elements in to my first band from 99-2002. I was all about this genre. And its also exciting to see new bands bringing nu metal back. But as far as consistency, influence over a long period of time, influence during the height of nu metal and how bands sound today, and how much staying power some of these bands have not just when re-listening to them goes, but also how have they pushed themselves in terms of songwriting, creativity and taking what nu metal was and pushing it forward is how I came up with my list. Oh...and within my circle of friends back in the day who were in to nu metal, we all hated Papa Roach, and POD. lol They were too mainstream and polished. Seemed disingenuous and fake but they were talented nonetheless.
Love Finn but definitely disagree with some of his takes. Excited to see your take on this
I think I disagree with about 75% of his content lol
I mean that’s all good. Life would be so boring if we always just had the same opinions
I don’t hate him and I find some of his content watchable but he says some really dumb stuff sometimes. I will never understand how someone can hold a band as trashy as Suicide Silence in such high regard.
S.C.I.E.N.C.E. by Incubus was pretty dope when it came out. I know it’s not strictly metal or nu metal but it has elements.
Incubus is definitely nu metal, and very underrated in the genre. Personally, I think SCIENCE is the best nu metal album. Beginning to end the whole thing rips and holds everything that makes nu metal great.
redefine and a certain shade of green in my opinion are the most nu metal sounding songs on the album, other than that the album was a little more funk
I personally favorite SlipknoT, MuDvAyNe, Static-X, , S.O.A.D, and Soulfly in this list.
In my opinion Soulfly don't have a bad album. It's an S tier for me, they're one of my favourite bands. Actually any Max Cavalera band (Sepultura, Soulfly, Cavalera Conspiracy, Nailbomb, Go Ahead and Die, Killer Be Killed) is an S tier band for me
Not bad albums? Sure. But this is a Nu Metal ranking. Soulfly has been distancing themselves the Nu Metal scene hard. Primitive is still one of the very best Nu Metal albums ever made.
Great video man 🤘. Really like the concept of tierlisting whole genres. I'm not familiar with every band, but I'll share some of my thoughts:
Slipknot is my favourite nu metal band for sure and in my opinion they are at least as consistent as Korn. Korn definitely deserve its place, but they have few average albums (The path of totality, Untitled, Korn III). Personally, I would say that Slipknot has better instrumentation and vocals in comparison to Korn, but that's just my opinion. Slipknot to S-tier that's what I mean 😅.
I would also place Mushroomhead higher, strong B-tier is good place I think. They recorded some pretty decent albums( I especially like the "XIII") and they are definitely influencial band (when Slipknot released their debut, Mushroomhead were preparing their third album).
Deftones was never my cup of coffee, but probably I need some relistening (I checked their profile on rate your music and they have some incredibly high ratings 😮). Right now I would place them somewhere around low B-tier high C-tier.
The rest of the placements is on point for me. 🤘😎🤘
You gotta dig into Deftones some more 👍🏻 I also have genre rankings for metalcore, mathcore, and melodic death metal
@@MetalTrenches I hope that they will grow on me soon🤘. Already watched melodeath ranking, defintely going to watch the rest 😀.
Ah I remember the older video
Let's see what's different now
Tallah's Matriphagy is basically my favourite Nu Metal album. Easily. They're just so fucking good
It's awesome
For me deftones system of a down slipknot and korn at s tier great list
🤘🏻
Staind A
Cold B-
Mushroomhead D
Powerman 5000 B
Chevelle S (a less boring tool)
Papa roach B+
Deftones S (gore is awesome!)
Taproot D
Soulfly B-
System of a down A
Coal chamber B+
Mudvayne B
Limp bizkit B
Kittie B+
Hed pe D
Korn S
Linkin park A
Non point B
Static x B
Pod B
Sevendust S
Slipknot S
Disturbed A
Respect for giving Sevendust an S. They aren't the most innovative band ever, but they are super consistent and super talented.
Great list. Maybe could have included Snot (even when they only released one record).
I got really into nu metal when it broke, but today, the only bands on this entire tier list that I still listen to even a little are Soulfly & Slipknot. Complete opposite opinion on Soulfly's best stuff. I thought they started to get good with 3, and so I own everything from that to Omen, and then skipped a few, and got Ritual.
Man Deftones still killing it though if you ask me
@@MetalTrenches Not saying they aren't a good band, just never got into them myself. Cheers
I got most of their stuff after "Omen." They are a thrash/groove metal band now, which is my favorite genre.
The S-tier is flawless
A little early putting Tallah on this list after one album imo. I liked Matriphagy but there is a lot of room for improvement regarding songwriting. Interesting band definitely. Maybe a little bit too much of everything at times - seems a little forced and over the top - especially the vocals … although he is a talented guy for sure. Their new song is all over the place, and not in a good way.
My list would be:
S: Slipknot
A: Korn, System of a Down
B: Mudvayne, Static X, Deftones, Soulfly
C: Coal Chamber, Taproot, Linkin Park, Sevendust, Kittie, Nonpoint
D: Hed PE, POD, Disturbed, Mushroomhead, Chevelle, Cold, Staind, Powerman 5000, Papa Roach, Limp Bizkit
this video; 20 mins ago
comments; 5,6 days ago
me; confused
It was accessible via the Limp Bizkit review before it went public
Nice list, brother. I'm a big Soulfly, so much in fact, I Soulfli on my licenses plate.
Check out these newer nu-metal bands as well. Glad you included Talas or Talis or however you spell.
Cane Hill
Tectriarch ( I probably spelled wrong 2)
King 810 (Not good) had list them. Lol.
Yeah I’m unfortunately familiar with King. Not a big fan of Cane Hill.
I just discovered your channel and I appreciate what I saw, I will go see the rest of your stuff. I discovered Nu-Metal a few years ago and I loved it having not known that period when it was mainstream. I agree with you on some choices and a little less on others. I just wanted to know your opinion on Godsmack it's a band that few people refer to but that totally have their place in this genre (I love the fact that it mixes Nu-Metal with elements of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal).
🤘🏻
Just subbed! You should do a C list tier of nu metal bands like the most obscure forgotten nu metal bands tier list (Darwins Waiting Room, Pressure 4-5, Flaw etc) . Just C list no D's (well you could do that for another one). Love the style man!
DWR was underrated (but too obscure for this video) ..too bad they didn't officially released a second album
stuff like No One? let's *really* get obscure
S tier: Korn, Deftones, SOAD and Slipknot
Those are the big four of nu metal, everything else it's debatable imo.
Lots of third wave generic D tier bands tho.
Quality aside, Limp Bizkit have to be in the Big 4 on record sales and prolificness alone. Watch my Limp Bizkit Tier List and I elaborate on that to a degree that even I found shocking when reviewing the charts from that time.
Ummm Linkin Park is easily one of the big nu metal bands. I’d say it’s LP, Slipknot, Korn, and SOAD. Deftones doesn’t quite make that cut.
Big Tirade:
So for Chevelle, they have a new metal sound, with the whole industrial rock grind, but I woul classify them as Alternative rock because they do go more for those grinding verses with uplifting, angelic choruses. What I always thought was amazing was Chevelle can write the most abstract and nonsensical lyrics, but I realized they were influenced by tool and they tried their own approach that doesn't correlate to their writing, but their singing transcends whatever they were scribbling. For Alternative rock, they get an S, for nu-metal they get a B or C. Give North Corridor a listen, that is where the more alternative metal sound truly resonates. I love, though it is overlong, Shot From A Cannon. I never want that song to end, even if it is feedback lol. Keep being Metal, Metal Trenches. ;)
Deftones are so great! Easy S tier for sure. Gore sucks but the rest are A tier albums at the lowest IMO. Great list man🤘
Chevelle, SOAD, and Deftones are the best of the litter.
Deftones only made one legit Nu Metal song (the first song of White Pony, and you can argue Adrenaline sounding Nu-Metalish) and Chevelle was NEVER a Nu-Metal band. They were always Hard Rock.
Slipknot, Linkin Park, and Sevendust are runner ups.
There were a lot of bands that were labelled Nu-Metal that really weren’t, bit I digress.
So be them actually Nu-Metal or not, here is my ranking of the bands that were labelled Nu-Metal.
A (biggest influence tier)
Limp Bizkit
Slipknot (not a Slipknot fan but they are hugely influential)
KoRn (not really a KoRn fan but they are hugely influential)
Deftones (not really a fan of early Deftones, I prefer White Pony era Deftones, but their early stuff is influential)
Evanescence
Linkin Park (not really a fan of Linkin Park but they are hugely influential)
SOAD (not a fan of SOAD but they are influential)
Disturbed
B (good tier, just not as influential)
Coal Chamber (personally not a fan of Coal Chamber)
Mudvayne (not really a fan of Mudvayne apart from the odd song)
Pleymo
P.O.D
Godsmack
Ill Nino
Nonpoint
One Minute Silence
Kittie (personally not a fan of Kittie)
Static X (not really a fan of Static X apart from the odd song)
Seether
Sevendust
Chevelle
Dope (not really a fan of Dope apart from the odd song)
Mushroomhead (personally not a fan of Mushroomhead)
Soulfly
Incubus (their early stuff)
Skindred
C (decent tier)
Reveille
Flaw
Hed Pe
Drowning Pool (would’ve been a B if Dave Williams didn’t die)
Snot
Breaking Benjamin
Guano Apes
Cold
10 Years
Spineshank
Taproot
Adema
Crazy Town
Saliva
Three Days Grace
Staind
Otep (not a fan of Otep)
Soil
Thousand Foot Krutch

Motograter (not a fan personally)
D (forgettable tier)
Methods Of Mayhem
Darwin’s Waiting Room

Nothingface (not a fan personally)
Powerman 5000 (not a fan)

From Zero
Professional Murder Music
Superheist
Blindspott
Endo
Lifer
Primer 55
E (shit tier)
Papa Roach (not a fan)
Orgy (I can’t stand Orgy)
Quite a rundown
@@MetalTrenches Yeah if you can’t already tell by my username, I’m a huge Nu-Metal/Rap Metal/Alt Metal fan. Also I’m glad you kinda stick up for Nu-Metal, it’s nowhere near as bad as Metal Elitists make it out to be.
@@nu-metalfan2654 Cool, you included thousand foot krutch in your list. One of my favorite
I know this is an old comment, but where would you have put 36 crazy fists?
I know this is old but I appreciate the Deftones recognitio although I don't consider anything from White Pony and beyond as Nu Metal. I also was REALLY into Coal Chamber so the C ranking hurt me. We both said DARK DAYS at the same time. I wish you would have included American Head Charge because I dont hear them talked about and their first album was really great. Same with Machinehead. Those bands need more nostalgic love.
brandy 😍😘
Does Chaoseum count? Smile Again is great. Hollywood Undead Day of the Dead and From Ashes to New.
I mostly agree with your list, but I'd swap Slipknot and Deftones.
Also - you just gained a new sub ;)
Welcome!
Kinda feel the same as much as I enjoy both for different reasons. Slipknot is just too huge nowdays. Altho Deftones have more often replay ability to me. Definitely a solid list tho.
As far as modern Nu Metal bands go, would you say From Ashes To New would have a decent position on this list, or are they more leaning towards metalcore? Their Nu metal tracks and covers that I've heard are quite good, but I haven't listened to all of their stuff so in fairness I don't know the full extent of their genre diversity.
I haven’t listened to them enough to say
Most nu metal bands nowadays have metalcore elements in my opinion. I think this combination has become almost inherent. From Ashes to New, Fire From the Gods, Westhand, Discrepancies, Islander, and so on. They all combine nu metal with metalcore.
If you're interested in newer bands with a nu metal sound, check out Kizu. They don't have much out yet but almost all of it is amazing!
Can't argue with this too much but I do have to say Slipknot's discography is sooo much more consistent and enjoyable than Korn's. Even their mid-slump is very good music; just not the peak of their career. Korn's late career slump is a dumpster fire. Even with that being the case Korn's early career work (up to Take a Look in the Mirror) is astounding so I'd put Slipknot and Korn both in S tier. Probably have to move Chevelle down to C-tier and the rest is good for me :P
I will make you a Chevelle fan lol
Korn outclasses SK in every single fucking department. Only exempt of Self Titled & Iowa which are genuinely good albums that can compete with top tier bands.
@@InveterateMendaciousness We both know that's a lie
I appreciate the Tallah singer's guest appearances in A Killer's Confession music videos.
He’s done a couple fire features. I had him on the channel for an interview. Cool guy.
I saw Tallah open for Avatar earlier this year, and that guy has some serious energy, very solid band
As some one who grew up on this stuff and jammed a lot of this in Highschool and still do to this day
I like to call myself a nu metal nut case
I really enjoy cold personally
I’m a massive staind fan boy
Papa roach I think is awesome but do have a few weak albums in the discography
Deftones is awesome
So nice to see Tallah in here
Slipknot and Linkin Park should be S tier.
Do you heard the band Flaw? Recently found them, they have some cool songs
Flaw is the most generic nu-metal band ever lmao
@@Ronnie.Raymond maybe; but i found 3 good songs
Limp bizkit should be at S they are so popular still today
Adema was great and didn't even show up on this list. Even after Chavez quit they had some pretty decent shit when they went in a more regular rock direction. Listen to "Cold and Jaded" after Chavez left it's great.
Now this is a very respectable ordering of things.
I’m a hip hop head but I like the metal genre.
I never understood Finn's tendency to let fanbase influence his opinion, but he also comes from the hardcore scene, which is very much about the culture and community, so that may have something to do with it. I don't think bad fans should count against a band, unless the band itself encourages their toxicity.
About Slipknot, do you really think EVERYTHING after Iowa isn't that great? It seems like almost everyone raves about We Are Not Your Kind, and rightfully so, in my opinion.
I stand by my opinion. Those other albums are fine but nowhere close to the first two imo
To be fair on staind, Tormented before they were signed and dysfunction before break the cycle were all pretty good. After that though def agree.
My list would be similair, I only would move Slipknot up to S. I think the material after Iowa is still very enjoyable. I don't consider them a nu-metal band, however.
Their first album has so many nu metal elements in it, I mean just listen to Corey full on rapping on Spit It Out, they definitely are, it’s just heavier nu metal like LD50 from Mudvayne
S Tier: Deftones
A Tier: Korn
B Tier: Bizkit, Slipknot
D Tier: The Rest
I back this
Have you listened to whole discography of these bands?
I'm not coming at you but how are you gonna argue they are bad and terrible while you don't know much about them.
@@seemann2401 yes, i've listened most of them so far and are pretty bad tbh, except for Sevendust (Which i need to listen more) and Early Slipknot (They're ok at Best, "All Hope is gone" was their last album i liked) but this is just my opinion, if You like them it's cool
Korn over SOAD?
Personally think Taproot and nonpoint need to be higher mostly because they are insanely good live and have a lot of songs i like
Linkin Park and System are the most popular bands on Spotify from this list.
Staind at D tier? That’s crazy man. Dysfunction alone puts them in B tier. That record is fantastic. Alongside break the cycle as well.
I go by the full scope of a band’s work. Yeah those albums are S, but everything after that is pure trash.
Sevendust not being an A is just a crime
The Only Thing I Disagree With This List Is That Soulfly Is B, In My Opinion They Are Mid C At Max
Limp bizkit and slipknot both just got new music out
I have a review up for the new Limp Bizkit. New Slipknot track is also decent
Static X has always stayed Consistent
Shadow Zone is a huge dip in quality. They brought it back with Start A War.
@@guymatrin Shadow Zone wasn't a huge drop the song "the only" is one of the most popular songs from the band. And Nu Metal was dying at the time so The band made shadow Zone into more of a alternative Metal Album. Personally I think it's a solid album. But Start a war is way Better.
lmao shadow zone is their best album by far. invincible, otsegolectric, all in wait, the only and control it.
@@suicidenotept.666 To each their own, but you'll find that's a minority opinion. By far their most celebrated albums are their first two, and for good reason.
Bit late to the party but pretty much bang on. I think LD50 alone puts Mudvayne in A, Slipknot I agree... I would never choose to listen to anything all the way through after Iowa. Prefer Staind and Taproot to the C tier bands for the time.
Hey, can you do a tier list of best to worst new nu metal bands and I think you should listen to fever 333 there a amazing band.
I like the list so glad you moved Chevelle up to A
love how tallah was mentioned
I thought you were actually collabing with Finn for a second lol.
I mean I got him once. Maybe one day again 😂
@@MetalTrenches definitely do it man
S: System of a Down
A: Korn, Linkin Park
B: Slipknot, Limp Bizkit
C: Papa Roach, Soulfly, Kittie, POD
D: Mudvayne, Deftones
F: Staind, Disturbed
Trapt: Trapt
Not bad take, but Papa Roach over Deftones? That's kinda interesting.
Deftones in D hurts me so bad 😭
Terrible list
@@barackputinIt’s their opinion my guy lol
Have you listened to every Nonpoint album? I mean they are obviously not S tier but putting them so low just doesn't seem right.
I respect you for static x they are my favorite band
(Hed)PE lyrics are fine and they have 2 "S" tier albums with their first two, and Incubus should be on here in "S" tier for Science and Make Yourself. Also.. No Spineshank.. "S" tier for height of callousness. Alien Ant Farm "S" tier for Anthology.
You can’t get S tier for just one album imo
Good tier list bro
i woudnt call SOAD or Deftones nu metal.
Totally disagree on what you said about Nonpoint. Love them. They are pretty consistent. The last few albums where great.
And that Sevendust album was excellent. Saw them live for the anniversary of it. They are so underrated.
How can you put static X in A and Mudvayne in B ? They should be inverted in my opinion
Static X has more good albums. Mudvayne has like 1.5. LD 50 is S Tier, the rest plummet quickly after that.
I love nu-metal but always thought that LPs first two albums are overrated and mediocre compared to Deftones first two albums and Korn's first 5 and last two albums. But A Thousand Suns is awesome.
Taproot ain’t too bad, I just listened to “I” that songs pretty sweet
Gift is great. The rest of the material after that goes over a cliff real fast
Sevendust is still way to underrated, they deserve sm more love in my opinion
Poor Staind. They deserve more as a band
the mirrors reflecTIONNN
YES!
Waaayyy fucking better than Finn's list.
