Strange, Tool and Deftones are the least nu-metal I can think of. Tool, especially, predates all that shit, and has nothing in common with any of it except drop-d. Tool is what I'd call progressive pop metal. Deftones are "we wish we were shoegaze but our record label won't let us do that so let's just do a bunch of 1 finger riffs on guitars tuned to mud sharp, but make the production atmospheric" metal.
