Yeah, same goes for System of a Down, too. Who, admittingly, did soften up and change their sound up a bit, so I guess I can see why they eventually got popular. Because there was a good 2 years there, after self-titled came out, where no one gave a fuck about them. And that was when they were making their best music!
There actually are quite a few great nu metal bands.. or bands lumped into that genre. I don't consider them nu metal at all (though I don't know what to call them, as they aren't really punk either) but AMEN are one of my favorite bands of all time.
