| 4 |  | Tool

| 12 |  | Ashes Divide
Keep Telling Myself It's Alright |
| 13 |  | Steeld
Welcome To Reality
the vocalist does his best fred durst impression, and the music sometimes follows the tropes LB set forth, though it also sometimes sounds more like generic nu metal. good album overall. |
| 14 |  | Pleymo
Episode 2: Medicine Cake
limp baguette wrote the riff to "the truth" 6 years before limp bizkit did https://youtu.be/ohFKB8h0J_8?t=70 so they must have a time machine because my favorite guitarist is infallible and would never commit plagiarism or incidentally stumble upon the same concepts as mortals
but in general it's another case of the vocal stylings sorta taking after fred durst's while the instrumentals remain more stock |
| 15 |  | Unwound
Leaves Turn Inside You
this has a real similar vibe to chocolate starfish and the hot dog flavored water but with a shittier """post-hardcore""" (most meaningless umbrella genre name of all time btw) guitar tone and no riffs (still sounds pretty) |
| 16 |  | Radiohead
The King of Limbs
this is like chocolate starfish and the hot dog flavored water if it took a bunch of krokodil and exchanged instrumental talent for drum machines and maracas
it's also radiohead's best work |
| 17 |  | Crazy Town
The Gift Of Game
honorable mention: this what people who have never listened to limp bizkit and base their taste purely off of hearsay and societal pressure must think limp bizkit sounds like
it doesn't at all, but my boys shifty & epic can out-w***** fred durst any day of the week (if you're only comparing the superficial extramusical aspects of the bands), and DJ AM had a good ear for tasteful electronics and turntablism |
| 18 |  | Ima Robot
Ima Robot
honorable mention: this is like if limp bizkit were a dance punk/power pop band
now this comparison potentially only makes sense in my head, but hear me out
spacey instrumentals with a rhythm section that puts every contemporary to shame? check
catchy hooks? check
frontman with a degree of vocal talent who sings stupid fucking lyrics? check
a good approach to production with some bleep bloops and turntable/sampler effects here and there? check |
