blind is tolerable for nu metal

>Create the most popular genre of the early 2000s
Heh, nothing personal kid

>scaruffi drones
literally just scaruffi shilling

>not Faith no More

I listened to it and it was just boring. if not slightly edgy

FNM's hip hop, metal, and funk aspects were too definitive, they all jumped out at you, they didn't meld it all together as seamlessly as Korn did. You can't call FNM or RATM numetal.

Except the song and album pretty much established the nu-metal genre.

Beyond that and all ...

literally who

I've translated his original Italian review of the album, in case anyone is interested:

In the 1990s, with the release of Korn (Epic, 1994), the band settled in a then-uncharted territory where rap, industrial music, grunge and heavy-metal converged. The vocalist, Jonathan Davis, immediately became a symbol of post-yuppie neo-pessimism. Born in Bakersfield in 1971, but having moved to Huntington Beach, one of Los Angeles' most conservative counties, Davis was educated in classical music. His style of singing is one of the most terrifying of all times, embodying all the psychological discord of the common young man. The rest of the band takes cues from groups such as Sepultura, creating, through their own technical competence, a rough and ferocious style that earned them millions of fans.

The album is filled with intense, rattling pieces, such as the opening track Blind, which is as roaring and bombastic as the heaviest of death metal and torn by an excruciating sense of desperation. The profoundly somber lyrics reflect an almost Leopardian idea of the hostile human nature and the inevitability of pain. Shoots And Ladders, which opens with a requiem-like sequence played by bagpipes, is composed exclusively of nursery rhymes — with some of them dating back to the Middle Ages — and brings to light the most disturbing psychological aspects of Davis' soul. The centerpiece of the album is also its most tense and subdued song, Faget, which manages to convey a sense pure anger in the verge of bursting into full-blown wrath.

The whole album — from Clown to Ball Tongue, from Lies to Divine — serves as a sort of vehicle trough which Davis exorcises his terrible childhood (with animalistic scream after animalistic scream, brutal riff after brutal riff, hysterical beat after hysterical beat, psychotic chant after psychotic chant).

Davis is so absorbed in letting out his anguish and Freudian nightmares that some songs (Need To) can barely be called music, being composed only of screams, limping cadences and shuffling riffs.

Daddy, a Freudian psychodrama reminiscent of The Door's The End, lasts seventeen minutes, opening with an acapella choir that seems to transport the listener to a monastery and latter, trough the use of harmonically dissonant vocals, to a psychiatric hospital. Between flashbacks of torture chambers — hysterical chants of singing, prolonged distorted guitar riffs — and Tartarean rooms — the music stops, the singer groans, a female voice intones a lullaby —, the band sonically conveys the image of a terrifying abyss of suffering, in which millions of young teenaged boys recognized themselves.

The guitar interplay between James "Munkey" Shaffer and Brian "Head" Welch shine throughout the album, and David Silvera's drums and Reggie "Fieldy" Arvizu's bass playing complement the guitarists in a wholly original way. This is one of those records that managed to save heavy metal from stagnation.

my dad knows who faith no more are stop being retarded

>all times
what is with him and this phrase

English is his second language. (He doesn't actually said that in the original review, I just thought it would be fitting to add it there)

WHY DON'T YOU KIDS LIKE THE KORN?

based thanks can you translate his review for Half Machine Lip Moves?

rhcp created that genre though

>Daddy, a Freudian psychodrama reminiscent of The Door's The End

Daddy is far more unsettling than other "respected" metal bands

dirty old Piero probably gets hard listening to it

Send him the translation, he'll be happy to add English versions to his reviews

Jesus Christ that is terrifying

daily reminder that according to Scaruffi, this album is just about as great as Korn's debut

I mean, it's good for memerap, still don't get the 7,5

Too bad Pantera started nu-metal first

>muh groove metal
Its bullshit. That entire "genre" is bullshit. There is hardly no difference between early Slipknot and Pantera.

Samefag. The last two posts are down to the minute too. This is pretty pathetic.

He isn't wrong
Panterafags seethe. Slipknot continued in Pantera's foot steps

wtf Daddy isn't 17 minutes long has he even listened to it? fucking hack

I never said started. Established. The guys who made the genre on the map.

Pantera was never going into rap metal. You know that, I know that, but the day they have a DJ scratching or Puff Daddy dueting with Dimebag's hologram i'll agree.

Pantera and early Slipknot have little in common other than the obvious Pantera influence in Slipknot

Pantera was still very much easy to connect to their early "cock rock" sound, with the big riffs and solos, all absent in Slipknot who only took the pseudo hardcore aggro influence from them. Slipknot you can also clearly hear Korn and Bungle influence, as well as straight up rap, something Phil hated, there are no big arena rock Van Halen/KISS solos in Slipknot, replaced by record scratching and Korn esque eerie soundscapes taken from Cypress Hill
