Bargin Bin Nu-Metal Special! - RPC Jukebox #20
Tonight, on a TRASHY episode of RPC Jukebox, Mike and Nick review six of the worst Nu Metal albums ever!
How’s it going fellow Renegades? THE DIRECTOR is back to give you a brief rundown of the latest melodical musings from Captain Kaye and Nick themselves.
And man… let’s talk about nu-metal. You know it. You like it. Chances are, you’re ashamed of it. The late 90’s, early 2000’s were a crazy time for metal heads where we had sounds that weren’t exactly… hard?… but they weren’t exactly clean. They tackled hard subjects and deep material, but 90% of the bands descended into buttrock or musical shlock. For every Korn, System of a Down, or Deftones, there was a Staind, Trapt, and Limp Bizket. It’s a subgenre where when it’s at the top of its game? My God — it’s legendary (we wouldn’t have Machine Head or Rage Against the Machine without it!). But when it’s bad? It is UNLISTENABLE.
And that brings me to the subject of this episode… Because Captain Kaye and Nick discuss six HORRIBLE albums from that time period. If names like Adema, Coal Chamber, and the album The Gift of Game sound familiar? Then man, this will either be a trip down memory lane, or an exercise in vindication. But - considering Nick says it gets worse as it goes on - what is the WORST ONE of all?
Well, you’ll just have to go ahead and give it a listen, now won’tcha?
