A pretty decent album from one of the most decent 2000s rock bands. "The Phoenix", "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)", and the title track are pretty enjoyable despite the sheer cheesiness of the former 2. However, the rest is passable filler. The rest is passable for filler.

A very excellent and well-crafted nu metal album from the early 2000s, and one of the most underrated.

One of the best heavy metal albums of the 1990s. Every song goes hard, perfect for working out and anime fights.

An absolute banger of a groove metal album that would help kickstart nu metal. "Roots Bloody Roots" is one hell of an opening track, and one of my favorites. "Attitude" is fantastic as well.

I love nu metal but this album feels like the musical equivalent to waiting for a seat at Texas Roadhouse. It's also baffling that this album is one of the most successful nu metal albums alongside LINKIN PARK and EVANESCENCE! "Bawitdaba" is sheer dumb fun and "Cowboy" and "I Am the Bullgod" are fairly enjoyable, the rest is just a filthy Axl Rose lookalike flexing about how tough he is to the most generic music ever.

The wannabe Waffle House king should stay 10 feet away from the kitchen because he fails at cooking.

Imagine the Ramones if the vocalist was Caillou with a SpongeBob voice and repackaged it into a mid-2000s pop punk album. No wonder pop punk and emo were killing nu metal in 2004.

If "I'm mad because mommy said 'no' to McDonald's" was an early 2000s pop punk album.

Octanecore for weebs that isn't mind numbing cringe like Within Destruction's 'Animetal' or fellow Sirius XM Octane heroes Five Finger Death Punch.

Imagine the spiritual successor to the Smashing Pumpkins' "The End Is the Beginning Is the End" but make it cater to the 2016 Hot Topic crowd. However, this is not the best nor the worst movie tie in song ever.

An excellent debut album in late 80s heavy metal that helped catapult my death metal phase from 2021 and 2022. Chuck Schuldiner is a guitar god.

One of the best debut albums from one of my favorite bands, Korn's self-titled is peak mid-90s angsty metal.

An absolute masterpiece in early 2000s angsty hard rock/heavy metal, one of the best heavy metal albums from my birth year.

Right next to Korn and Linkin Park, Slipknot is peak angsty nu metal. One of the best debuts in heavy metal ever.

One of the best alt-rock albums of the 2000s, a criminally underappreciated angsty rock album from before the days of My Chemical Romance and Three Days Grace. It's among my all time favorite albums. It's also perfect for Mikan Tsumiki edits.

One of the best alt-rock albums from one of the most underrated 90s bands. It's an excellent blend between Nirvana, Joan Jett, Korn, and Nine Inch Nails. I was also obsessed with this album and 'Clear Hearts Grey Flowers' back in 2022.

One of the best heavy metal albums to ever come out of the 1990s, "Walk" is a timeless banger while every track leaves you in a neck brace from constant headbanging.

One of the absolute best heavy hitters to ever come out of the 1990s.

Peak early to mid 2000s nu metal coming from the biggest rock bands of the decade. Full of excellent tracks. Long live Chester.

Peak early 2000s nu metal coming from one of the Big 6 of Nu Metal. Every song hits hard like a burning freight train.
