Staind – Dysfunction
1. Suffocate Starts the album with the line ‘I feel nothing, longing for something.’ Which reads like a parody but nope, these are the earnest laments that kick off Staind’s second album. It doesn’t matter that much how you judge … Continue reading →
Tool – 10,000 Days
Vicarious I don’t know a lot about Tool. I do know they have one of the most rabid fanbases, almost cult like in their devotion to the band. A lot of people would be uncomfortable to view them as a … Continue reading →
Staind – Tormented
Tolerate This is crunchy guitar work with some straight to the point lyrics – ‘thanks for coming around to fuck up my day.’ Lo-fi production considering it’s before the great radio explosion of nu-metal and a time where it could … Continue reading →

Alien Ant Farm – Anthology
This band was one I had on heavy rotation back in the day. Looking back on it, they really were misfits of this scene and time. They had that hard hitting sound and sometimes rapped vocals that led them to be thrown into … Continue reading →
10 reasons why Nu-metal is an underrated genre
Ten Reasons Nu-metal is an Underrated Genre Attempting to do this most likely is going to make me sound like Patrick Bateman in American Psycho, but hear me out: The inner 15-year-old in you wants to. And maybe you’ll even … Continue reading →
1. Suite Pee The song starts with a staccato riff before an explosive guitar kicks in. The vocals have inflected rolling r’s and there is this weirdness in the way this thing is structured. Not as ambitious as Toxicity but you can … Continue reading →
