@@RobbieDigglers3rdEye I bet that show kicked ass! Sadly I wasn't even born then I'm a early 2000s kid so I never got to experience incubus in their prime but I bet them along side he'd p.e and KORN would've been a fuckin head banger🔥💯
Another banger video from my favorite heavy metal UA-cam channel. 90's was the era when metal was shining and growing, if this even makes sense. My like to this video is well-deserved.
Yeah 90s was GREAT for metal, i don't understand why so many say it's the decade when metal almost died. Sure, lot of metalheads don't vibe with nu metal while that and groove metal are my favorites, but 90s also saw the rise of death and black metal which those same people can't get enough of so i really don't know what's up with saying it "almost died"
@@NuMetalfan1996 bro when Fred starts shouting "freaking me out you wear a mask all counterfeit" I gotta jump around and start smashing shit cuz damn that song goes hard🔥💯😤
Pollution is so nasty! What a powerful opener to that album. Fred's screams on "faith" also kinda scared me in their intensity when I was a pre-teen lol. Amazing vocalist.
Great list, I might have put Snot 1 notch higher but overall spot on. I wonder how many people out there don't realize how great SCIENCE by Incubus is.
3 Dollar Bill Yall$ is easily my favorite Limp Bizkit album. This is coming from someone that doesn’t really vibe with Significant Other and Chocolate Starfish save for a handful of songs. I just love the raw sound they went for, the funky bass work, and the psychedelic vibes it gives off in some of the tracks. Also, Everything is my favorite Limp Bizkit song and I feel it doesn’t get talked about enough. It’s underrated, amazingly dreamy and psychedelic, and one of the most hypnotic bass lines I’ve ever heard. I’d consider it a psych rock, post-rock, jam band track. I wish LB made more songs like it.
Me personally ill take chocolate starfish as probably one of my favorite LB albums (and just albums in general) of all time but I can definitely agree with ya there, 3 dollar bill has that raw unfiltered heavy sound that made LB tight in the first place💯
Nu metal is my second favorite metal subgenre behind death metal, and I fucking love these tier lists even though I agree like half of the time. My top 5 favorite nu albums are: 1. Wisconsin death trip by static x 2. New killer America by Skrape 3. SOAD self titled or toxicity 4. Spit by kittie 5. Chamber music by coal chamber
Saw Human Waste Project open for Coal Chamber on that year and they stole the show. I have a lot of memories regarding that experience, since I was celebrating turning 18 and finished the night at a fully nude juice bar, again blowing my little teenage, horny mind.
Snot song is a really high energy tune, love it. So much energy I actually wouldn't put that sound in nu metal at all haha! More funk - hardcore idk...
People always crap on Limp Bizkit and 3 Dollar Bill Y'all, but that riffing at the end of Counterfeit is worth it. Pretty heavy and cathartic. I think Wes Borland is an underrated guitarist (we don't talk about Big Dumb Face).
ONe of my fondest teenage memories was the second concert I ever saw at First Avenue Auditorium in Minneapolis in 1999. Fear Factory was supposed to play a show on Super Bowl Sunday but their equipment was stolen so they rescheduled to play a Sunday night in late March. Two of my buddies and I got tickets for the make-up show for $10 a piece. The lineup was Static X, Hed PE, System of a Down and of course, Fear Factory. I had never heard of any of the bands other than Fear Factory and was blown away by all of them. Static X hadn't released their major debut album yet, so the three of us made sure to hit up the record store on to get copie. Best damn $10 ever spent. You earned a sub for knowing to rank Hed PE and ATF so highly.
Great video! This actaully but a name to the band behind Open Your Eyes for me. I had heard that song get covered a couple of times and did not know who did the original. Also I am seriously holding out for the self-titled Celldweller album to appear the 2003 list.
I went to the local rock bar and walk into a SkinLab show lol I never heard of them but they are a Nu Metal band from '97 very underrated wonder why they didn't get bigger
I hope next time alternative album of the 90s. I have too many underated alternative bands of the 90s i didn’t even know the artists and songs title. Only the fm radio station my access to listened.
Incubus- Science is a FANTASTIC album. Sevendust has some great tunes...decent album. Clawfinger...nope. Coal Chamber- dissmissed it at first, but grew on me pretty quickly. Very good, very simple album. Saliva- lol NOPE. Sugar Ray- eh, good enough Snot- The third best album here, only because Deftones took everything to the next level for everyone else to aspire to. Human Waste...- Nah Nothingface- Bleh Papa Roach- This album is terrible Hed PE- Only have one good album..and this aint it Guano Apes- Boring. Open youre eyes is good though No One is Innocent- who? Body Count- Sorry, but these guys have never been good. LB- About as good as Nu-Metal gets. Perfect album. Deftones- Nu-Metal? Yeah, technically, but so much more. Another perfect album.
@@MetalTrenches I have maaaany times lol. An old buddy of mine LOVED them, they ARE a great live band, but the albums wear thin pretty quick to me. Broke is the album that id listen to about 50-1 vs the others.
Dud never thought I'd see human waste project. Loved this album back in the day. Also loved the 2 professional murder music albums after the vocalist left.
Absolutely agreed with Incubus and Deftones at the top but for the life of me i can't see the hype for Hed P.E. Anyway the other two along with Transistor by 311 are the main reason why 1997 is actually my favorite year in music, especially alt rock/alt metal
I am suprised to see no one is innocent is this list for a french guy like me 😮, great album by the way. Around the fur is the best for me, i love it so much.
1997 was the year Nu-Metal took off and became a legit scene. 1997 to 2003 was Nu-Metal’s lifespan, it only lasted 6 years unfortunately. Where if we look at Metalcore, that’s now lasted 20 years, Metalcore has lasted so long bands don’t know what to do anymore.
I don't know about that chief, I think even if we ignore all of the debuts in 94, at least 1995 is the year it started to be a solid scene with enough of bands for the genre. So I'd say 8 years if we talking from the "cradle to grave". Still, even if the genre is out of line, so much of it's elements are still being carried in the music of new bands and they often incorporate things that nu-metal brought. Another argument I would say is I would differentiate early true metalcore and the stuff that's been made the last 10 years, I would say those are not even the same things, so not sure about that lifespan. And the last argument, even if metalcore lasted longer, in my opinion it didn't have the heights, popularity and influence as numetal did. Though the genre's popularity faded away quite miserably, when it was in it's prime it outshined almost everything.
I've been a nu metal fan since 1996 and I gotta admit. I just couldn't get into Deftones. Couldn't stand them. Funny thing it took me years to finally come around and appreciate their music. Now, I enjoy their music, but I didn't get into them until around 2016- 2017. Lol.
That first Sevendust has such a unique sound that nothing that came after ever did it for me. Unless im remembering wrong but I've tried to listen to their other albums but they just dont do it for me like this one does.
SCIENCE and Around the Fur were both way too good to be lumped in with nu metal. Sometimes it's hard to believe that incubus even made that album when you consider where they went afterward. 1997 was such a great year for music though. SCIENCE, Around the Fur and most of all 311's Transistor!
You should have Hedshel with Lauchpad and Watcha with Watcha in your from 1998 video. Pleymo with Keckipasse? in your from 1999 video. Hedshel with Super Enzymes and Watcha with Veliki Cirkus in your from 2000 video and Pleymo with Episode 2: Medecine Cake and Hedshel with Why Speak? in your from 2001 video three of the most underrated nu-metal bands Pleymo and Watcha being from France and Hedshel from California
Metal is the universe, same as rock, punk, pop, hip hop, etc. Nu Metal is a subgenre of metal, and around the fur is mix with nu metal and alternative metal.
I don't know how you could say it's not nu metal when it has every single one of the elements: hip hop, DJ, emphasis on groove, the fashion... I'd say it's a QUINTESSENTIAL nu metal album.
@@MetalTrenches All true, and I’d say it influenced nu metal in all those ways. But personally I feel it’s the most important element, the songwriting, that sets it apart from the nu metal sub genre. Just my opinion of course, not an attack 👍

Didn't realize '97 was deep for nu metal. Great vid as always
Easily the best year of the genre

Deftones and Incubus definitely had the best first wave nu-metal records
Three Dollar Bill Yall is Limp Bizkit’s best album.
Pollution, Stuck, Counterfeit, just fucking bangers

That Snot album is 10/10 for me. Along with "Wisconsin Death Trip" the only nu metal albums I still regularly listen to.
Only 2 albums I bought in L.A in 97.

Soooo stoked to see this video pop up, Nostalgia to my Highschool years. Snot 'Get Some' is still an all-time favorite for me. Love the channel!!!
Sevendust - Sevendust. My favorite Nu Metal album of all time. Perfection level.
Snot song is a really high energy tune, love it. So much energy I actually wouldn't put that sound in nu metal at all haha! More funk - hardcore idk...
Funk-hardcore is kinda a significant chunk of what numetal is made of.
People always crap on Limp Bizkit and 3 Dollar Bill Y'all, but that riffing at the end of Counterfeit is worth it. Pretty heavy and cathartic. I think Wes Borland is an underrated guitarist (we don't talk about Big Dumb Face).
3 Dollar was raw and heavy and exciting. Felt really fresh when it came out.
Snot - "unplugged" is an all time banger track.
5th Element is my favourite movie
man, these album covers
I remember them all! I am ancient.
Thanks for the French reference to no one is innocent. Love this album (and crazy good lyrics)
Oh yeah … I’m French (if that was not SUPER OBVIOUS 😅)
Really glad I discovered it.

Correct: Around The Fur is definitely the best on the list and BQAD is the best song of all time of any genre.
I don't know if you already did it but I would like to see a tier list of new nu metal bands... I found Ocean Grove and they slaps
ATF still stand as the greatest Nu-Metal record of all time! This is why I subbed a long time ago, MT knows what’s up!
ICE-T bringing that big Dick Wolf energy. BUM-BUM!
I have Science on Vinyl, phenomenal album
I hope next time alternative album of the 90s. I have too many underated alternative bands of the 90s i didn’t even know the artists and songs title. Only the fm radio station my access to listened.
I must surprised! For morethan 20 years im always heard this song on fm radio station. Guano apes - open your eyes 😳. Ive missed my younger days. 😢
Hey, man. Could you make a video where you ranked the discography for Blood Red Throne? I feel like they deserve more attention.
It seems to me a lot of people forget Dimestore Hoods, the precursor to 3rd Strike.
Incubus- Science is a FANTASTIC album.
Sevendust has some great tunes...decent album.
Clawfinger...nope.
Coal Chamber- dissmissed it at first, but grew on me pretty quickly. Very good, very simple album.
Saliva- lol NOPE.
Sugar Ray- eh, good enough
Snot- The third best album here, only because Deftones took everything to the next level for everyone else to aspire to.
Human Waste...- Nah
Nothingface- Bleh
Papa Roach- This album is terrible
Hed PE- Only have one good album..and this aint it
Guano Apes- Boring. Open youre eyes is good though
No One is Innocent- who?
Body Count- Sorry, but these guys have never been good.
LB- About as good as Nu-Metal gets. Perfect album.
Deftones- Nu-Metal? Yeah, technically, but so much more. Another perfect album.

@@SuperStrik9 Yeah, they are definitely a great band live.

Anyway the other two along with Transistor by 311 are the main reason why 1997 is actually my favorite year in music, especially alt rock/alt metal
Ah yeah, 90’s and 00’s Nu-Metal, Alt Metal and Post Grunge had a lot of bands with dictionary words.
Filter
Saliva
Snot
Staind
Cold
Flaw
Bush
Red
Soil
Filter is industrial rock
@@anony-moon yes but I put them in there because they have a dictionary word name.
I am suprised to see no one is innocent is this list for a french guy like me 😮, great album by the way. Around the fur is the best for me, i love it so much.
Glad I came across it
Can you do one of these for Industrial metal?
Seriously!
Around the fur was great but the white pony album was gd epic.
1997 was the year Nu-Metal took off and became a legit scene.

Where if we look at Metalcore, that’s now lasted 20 years, Metalcore has lasted so long bands don’t know what to do anymore.

'97 was nu metals peak
Ice T clip killed me
@@rmcpolin1987 such a classic moment 😂
For some reason Mindset's s/t never gets any recognition and their debut is from year 1997.
Pretty close to how I would have rated everything. I would put Limp Bizkit, Sugar Ray and Seven Dust at Fantastic.
Cant wait for year 1994.
That first Sevendust has such a unique sound that nothing that came after ever did it for me. Unless im remembering wrong but I've tried to listen to their other albums but they just dont do it for me like this one does.
Guano Apes should defo be higher up in my opinion!!
3 dollar bill 'all and around the fur for the win 💪
Last song on 3 dollar bill is too good
I always felt the debut Sevendust was their best and most banger album. Most everything after it was just boring to me.
Fark yes SCIENCE
Science and Around The Fur
SCIENCE and Around the Fur were both way too good to be lumped in with nu metal. Sometimes it's hard to believe that incubus even made that album when you consider where they went afterward. 1997 was such a great year for music though. SCIENCE, Around the Fur and most of all 311's Transistor!
From this list SCIENCE is the best album, but Incubus is a one-album-wonder band for me 🤷♂️
For me perfection of listed albums are just 2:
Science and Around the Fur.
Best Incubus and Deftones albums ever made. Fact.
You should have Hedshel with Lauchpad and Watcha with Watcha in your from 1998 video. Pleymo with Keckipasse? in your from 1999 video.

You should rank all of the FFDP albums just for shits and giggles
I've been trying to like Deftones for 28 years and I just don't get their appeal.
