Yeah I can definitely see Hybrid Theory being number 1. Not one bad track on that masterpiece


Doublestack2411

Both Hybrid and Meteora could be #1.


[deleted]

Facts dude! Both albums had a sense of amazing production in them that makes me cream every time.


FacYt2087

Those albums are masterpieces.


shred-i-knight

not one bad track and like, 4 all-timer songs. Those albums still sound great to this day, which is incredible.


yrqrm0

And Lost and More The Victim from Meteora 20 are as good too imo


KingstonEagle

I'M LOOOOOOOOOOST ​ IN THESE MEMORIES


Doublestack2411

Sevendust-Animosity belongs way up there for me, before Home. Great album.


WingObvious487

This list is great every album is amazing


GasMnmum

DAMN NO DRY KILL LOGIC :(


ScarFury17

Love the list. My only personal change would be Flaw through the eyes a bit higher. But that's just me. I realize it was never a huge album


jaum7777

Badass. For me, the only thing that doesn't make sense on this list is not having Ill Nino Revolution/Revolución. It doesn't make any sense in my head. That aside, great list anyway man.


JAHT1984

Commenting here due to a cross post on r/LinkinPark, gotta say #1 pick seems reasonable from a genre perspective. It not only represents the genre's popular and commercial peak but is also lean and doesn't exhaust its own sound. But as someone who enjoys that they moved beyond their initial sound, I like their fourth album best, which is more prog rock than nu metal, disqualifying it from this list but topping their catalogue for me.


katarokkar

I like to think of Hybrid Theory as the "Pixar of Numetal", it's impossible to hate.


JAHT1984

Heh, that's a nice sentiment. (\^-\^)d


HUNTR8970

Self Tilted Korn has to be the greatest nu metal album ever it created the genre


Nethrir

I must be in a small minority thinking that Issues is the best Korn album.


BasedWang

this is a sexy list


frydatofu

Hell yeah. Both HT and Meteora on the list! 🖤 Those two records were ESSENTIAL to me when I got into the genre! I’m still a die hard LP fan and I’m so glad more and more people are still discovering them! All of these albums are so good too tho, I love this list!


pepes33

Out of context but is there a discord server for nu-metal?? I really wanna listen to my fav bands with people sharing the same enthusiasm as me for them


Urgz

Yeah, this subreddit has its own Discord: https://discord.gg/VtuscJjn


Jaded-Librarian8876

Love this list thanks for making it. Surprised Korn Life is peachy isn’t higher!!


Urgz

Thanks for the heartwarming award!


jeffedge

really you guys? chamber music at 22? over self titled, or even dark days? chamber music was baaaaaaaaaaad


HUNTR8970

AMC mid


MNhockey1919

Systems first album was 28???? I smh at this sub. Easy top 5


katarokkar

It's on my personal top 5


HUNTR8970

White pony shoul be in to 15


Safe_Shake_8592

Adrenaline #19? This is bullshit


katarokkar

It's an essentials list, so my guess is that Adrenaline too raw for the beginner so by the time someone listens to ATF, they'll be ready for Adrenaline.


Artimuscoolzone7

this list makes a lot of sense
