If you enjoy the genre, certainly not.
Their debut is better.

What would you recommend as stand out albums of the genre?
This is a list off the top of my head:
>Korn - Korn
>Korn - Follow the Leader
>Deftones - Around the Fur
>Deftones - White Pony
>Rage Against the Machine - Rage Against the Machine
>Rage Against the Machine - Evil Empire
>Slipknot - Slipknot
>System of a Down - System of a Down
>System of a Down - Toxicity
>Mudvayne L.D. 50
>Powerman 5000 - Tonight the Stars Revolt!
>Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory
>Linkin Park - Live in Texas (DVD Version)
>Chevelle - Wonder What's Next
These 2 are, in my opinion, the true standouts of that period and genre that also stand the test of time.
>Deftones - White Pony
>Rage Against the Machine - Rage Against the Machine
Follow the leader is meh, Issues is better
>not posting white pony
>being this much of a pleb
To each their own, only my opinion. My personal favorite Korn album is Life is Peachy and I did not include it on the list. Made the list in a introductory/best of the genre sort of way. Issues is a great nu-metal album. Trash and Somebody Someone are Korn classics.
Slipknot self titled and that's it
Hmm, I guess RATM would count I don't know why but I never considered them Nu Metal but they do fit all the criteria.
I understand where you're coming from. I think this way too and think it is because of how awful most nu-metal really is as music. Besides my list above, most music in the genre is really, really poor.
It was a weird phase in music for sure. Something that I doubt will have a revival luckily.
I feel like Taproot are rather underrated.
It's the most quotable album of all time
"YOUUUUU!! MY TAPEWORM TELLS ME WHAT TO DO!!! YOUUUU!! MY TAPEWORM TELLS ME WHERE TO GOOOO!!"
it's awful because it's emblematic of toxic masculinity
...
BOUNCE POGO POGO POGO POGO POGO POGO POGO
It has one of the most quotable solos of all time too
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
WAHWAHWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
WAH WAHWAHWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
WAHWAAAAAAAAAAAAAHWAAAAAAAAAAAAAHWAHWAHWAHWAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
But the self titled is better.
Mer De Noms by A Perfect Circle is pretty good too
Hed Pe's newer stuff is decent.
