[QUOTE="ShadowSD:1085515"][QUOTE="t2daeek:1085502"] i'm talking about audio quality as opposed to actual song writing. the best selling "metal records" of the 90's were done by ross robinson and that was the jib that they were cutting for.[/QUOTE] The best selling metal records of the 90's are NOT nu-metal. Top metal selling records of that decade would include the Black Album, the Use Your Illusion Records, Countdown to Extinction, etc; it's a long time before you get to Ross Robinson records. Heck, even from '93 on, when MTV had virtually passed a law not to play any metal before midnight unless it was GNR or Metallica, metal albums (actual metal albums) STILL did better than nu-metal albums that were subsequently released; in the mid-nineties, Youthanasia hit the charts at #4 and Far Beyond Driven debuted at #1, and considering both were with minimal to no radioplay or MTV, this was really something. To the extent that the nu-metal sound sold at all, it's because it was the only kind of metal allowed airplay in the late 90's, and thus the only kind of metal most of the new kids coming up even had heard about. The "sound quality" of the recordings you refer to is basically how noisy of a train wreck can we make this. On top of the bad writing in nu-metal, this recording style just compounded to the insult to actual metal, which had often been characterized as noise by ignorant people over the decades; now the production AND writing in nu-metal was validating their misguided points of view. St. Anger utilizing such a production style was especially insulting because they had more money and time to utilize than perhaps any album ever released by anyone, and instead it sounds like a band playing in a tiny cement room. There IS a way to produce an album super super raw and make it sound incredible - it's called And Justice For All, not recording a cement room with a single radio shack microphone then paying Bob Rock ten million dollars for the privilege. That was an insult to every band that currently works and records. It's ironic that you mentioned spending money on a golden toilet if you had plenty of dough, because that's exactly what St. Anger is, an overpriced shitbowl.[/QUOTE]
