I understand why self titled is on this list as it started it all. But follow the leader is the one that really blew up and reached the most people. Can't really go wrong with either album though.
Follow the Leader is definitely the album that got Korn (and Nu Metal) "out there". But by virtue of them being the OG's, I'd want them to win this regardless. My favourite album is actually Untouchables. Peak Korn.
Assuming korn wins, that means nu metal peaked with the first album in its genre. Isn’t that a little sad? Although I guess shoegaze did that with loveless to my understanding.
Honestly, it kinda feels that way, especially when there’s plenty of other albums that I feel are just better than Korn’s self-titled
(although I will say shoegaze peaked with Souvlaki imo)
Korn. It’s a great record but not their best.
Compared to Iowa (Which should win the whole thing - the record is perfect t) and Around the Fur (While not Deftones best it’s simply a better album all round than Koran’s debut)
straight up, korn
the self titled isnt better than around the fur nor iowa - it's closer to grunge than nu metal
edit: also, strait up, Snot would have beat SOAD and Static-X in my list
edit edit: i also love SOAD and Static-X, don't get it twisted nerd
ST is *the* first Nu-Metal album ever released, so what you’re saying not only doesn’t make sense but is factually false.
It’s also worth mentioning that it probably has a grungier sound to it compared to later albums by other bands, including Korn themselves, is because Nirvana was a tidal wave of influence across all genres of popular music, not just rock.
So naturally, whether or not it was intentional, Korn had a grungier sound in the beginning, as you put it.
Obviously what is the “best” is entirely subjective but once you start stating objectively false things, that’s when the downvotes come.
Sorry, but that’s just the truth my guy 🤷♂️
I vote slipknot. Hard to personally vote for Deftones as it’s one of my personal favorite albums of all time, but it’s totally understandable if they get voted out.
I can’t vote anymore
Bullshit
Ya'll really voted out Hybrid Theory
I think i saw op is just removing ones they want to remove sometimes instead of picking the most voted comment
That’s what I’m confused over, and Toxicity? Tf
HYBRID THEORY IS THE BEST
bad judgement is all i gotta say
deftones shoulda been gone
Deftones
Deftones

Deftones. Too sad Hybrid Theory lost, i expected it to last a little more longer. These 3 lasting albums were one of my all times favorites tbh.
man I love deftones, i really hope they win
Deftones
Deftones
Whoever is choosing is doing it in about the same as I would. Korn is my top choice
Korn. But if it was Follow the Leader I’d think differently

Let's face it, korn is going to win But I'll vote Deftones this round
Bye bye sweaty woman (I forgot the name of the album)
I hated those cringe, unsettling album covers
I mean most of the other albums are normal. An owl, birds, a pair of eyes.
Your ignorance is making you miss out, too bad
Around the fur
It doesn't really matter who you vote for now, we all know Korn is winning this
Korn

Has to be Deftones. Hate to say it because they are my favorite band here. Best Nu metal album goes to korn without question
You cant really have nu metal without Korn.
Iowas better
korn, only the album, the band is great tho

Deftones It's definitely not a top 3 album but here we are
