I've grown up around an internet's worth of rock-crit and poptimism and greatest ever lists enough to know what a true classic album is supposed to sound like but after three solid years of nu-metal immersion I've decided I prefer this. When I published my list of The 100 Greatest Nu-Metal Songs of All Time last year I figured individual songs was the optimal way to celebrate this wonderful and gory genre of music but the more time I spent with nu-metal the more my mind changed. It’s hideous, an affront to God, and you can’t look away. Constraints like ability, talent, genius, precocity- nu-metal just keeps on pushing, ugly founts of blood and guts all over the place, feathers and bone popping and cracking and squawking. But it keeps pushing, as hard as it possibly can, splattering off into gory shapes and colors. Meanwhile, nu-metal music hits its limitations like a pigeon striking a freshly cleaned window, a loud and muffled thunk to greet its failure. Great and acclaimed music soars confidently through history like an arrow loosed by a bow, dipping and dodging gravity's limitations with the unruffled grace of an eagle in flight.
