Another Hybrid Alt/Nu-Metal
To my ears at the time; it was a mix of Maiden and Slayer inspired riffs without sounding like either filtered through the time period with a very Dead Kennedys vocal approach. I LOVED the shit out of those first two albums. Toxicity is peak for me.A few of my bandmates at the time loved some of the tracks, but for some reason I just never grasped on to it. Same with Korn.
I respect the musicianship and interesting arrangements, but if the vocals or melodic content doesn't grab me I just can't get into it for very long.To my ears at the time; it was a mix of Maiden and Slayer inspired riffs without sounding like either filtered through the time period with a very Dead Kennedys vocal approach.

I get it 100%. Like anything else music wise; it hits us how it hits us!I respect the musicianship and interesting arrangements, but if the vocals or melodic content doesn't grab me I just can't get into it for very long.

I voted Meh. I liked Faith No More, very early 311. Were they considered Nu metal?
But most of the later 90's and early 2000's metal I kind of glazed over.
Mike Patton's comments on nu-metal-
“Nu-metal makes my stomach turn. Don’t blame that poo poo on us, blame it on their mothers! Do you think I listen to any of that stuff at all? No, it’s for 13-year-old morons! Believe me, we’ll all be laughing about nu-metal in a couple of years. Heck, I’m actually laughing at it now!”
They were definitely proto-nu-metal, the rap/metal aspects of some of the stuff on The Real Thing, the samples all over their music, the merging of different genres. And every fucking nu-metal drummer rips off Mike Bordin. The "Midlife Crisis" drumbeat basically became the blueprint for nu-metal drums.

Every nu-metal band has snagged that groove at some point in their career. It's in a shitload of Korn songs alone. Hell, Mike Bordin filled in for Silvera back in the day.
