Top 10 Metal Albums of 2016

[Oblivious Maximus]

Its really incredible how dated most nu-metal sounds when you consider its heyday really wasn't all that long ago. It just shows how short its shelf life really was. And normally I'm never one to use the term "dated" as a criticism but nu-metal's rise and fall was so short lived its impossible to not think of that brief period in time when ridiculously baggy pants with those weird strap things on the side and spiky leopard print hair was all the rage with the kids.

Korn does have some pretty slammin bass lines, I'll say that but Jonathan Davis' scatting/childish gibberish shtick become annoying very fast.

The irony here is that people are being accused of hating Korn/nu-metal because they're old, yet nu-metal is only being salvaged due to nostalgia. If a band like Korn formed tomorrow, nobody in here would give a flying shit about it.

Did they have an impact? Sure. Too popular not to have an impact, same with nu-metal. Who cares? It impacted and influenced nothing really worth mentioning. It impacted a bunch of retarded wigger kids and assclowns with eyebrow piercings.

Also, Ozz only likes The Wall because he's a Trump supporter.

 

[Draehl]

Nu metal obviously made an impact because St. Anger was influenced by it. If the biggest metal band in the world puts out an album with nu metal influences, obviously it made an impact

To be fair, it shows that they, the pioneers of a genre have so lost sight of their vision that they have to mimic what's 'in' at the time to even come up with an album. More sad than anything :/

Oh you

 

[The Butt]

Daddy is more heart-wrenching and emotive than every David Gilmour solo put together.

You are quite literally a wellspring of shit opinions. Gilmour was the best member of Floyd by lightyears.

I think he is trolling at this point.

 

[Baroque]

Top X numetal, rap, pop, prog rock, country albums from whenever the fuck

 

[CiG]

Korn's debut influenced Sepultura to record Roots, so yeah cheers for that.

 

[Krow]

Glad I fucked this thread worse than it already was.

 

[The Butt]

The Break Stuff/Seinfeld Theme mashup is my jam.

I'd listen to a new Korn-style band if it was any good. It's not a nostalgia thing for me anyways, I was pretty much shielded from nu metal as a kid and never even thought about checking it out until I was already deep into tr00 metal.

A lot of good metal had negligible/no influence on metal as a whole. Early At the Gates, for example; how many bands tried copying that? Some of my favorite thrash, like Anacrusis, had probably no impact on metal as a whole. And does impact demonstrate worth? Later At the Gates influenced a bazillion cookie-cutter melodeath and mallcore bands, who gives a shit when Slaughter of the Soul is still a monotonous and boring as fuck album?

 

[CiG]

I don't think impact has worth at all, which is why I attacked the concept which was brought up by someone else.

 

[EternalMetal]

Back when I was growing up Korn was 'cool' among my circle of friends. I bought Follow the Leader and Issues and always thought they were shit. I remember hanging out with my bro one day, and I was in a destructive mood so I chucked my Issues CD up into a ceiling fan, in which it gratifyingly shattered into a million pieces. Never had a CD explode like that ever again, and I tried with countless CD-R coasters back from the early days of burning CDs.

 

[The Butt]

Nice.

 

[CiG]

I did something similar with a Linkin Park CD back in the day. It really is satisfying to see pure shit annihilated into a million pieces.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

i actually still have a copy of the first(i think?) linkin park album, the one with the "it doesnt even matterrr" song, lol.

 

[CiG]

I think that might have been the one I smashed, but I don't 100% recall as it wasn't mine.

It's their fucking anthem!

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

Horrible song.

 

[CiG]

Every old anime/DBZ fight scene compilation back then had some bullshit Linkin Park song to it.
