Korn's first album is great and definetely the peak for Nu-Metal. Their cause hasn't been helped by the fact that they stayed together and kept releasing albums to diminishing returns. And they were also responsible for making Limp Bizkit big. That is unforgivable.
Linkin Park are just sub-standard U2.
On Skummy's point about if a band released Bohemian Rhapsody nowadays it would be rediculed, falls down on the fact that Muse appear to be a carbon copy of Queen without the apartheid support.
The 'drizzling shits' that passes for Rn'B, rap and dance surely follows what Gazz is saying about Paramore et al. People listening to it will be turned onto Blackalicious, The Roots and Fuck Buttons eventually. Maybe.
