Artist: Cold
Album: 13 Ways To Bleed On Stage
Year: 2000
What I've decided as the quintessential nu-metal album of the 90's actually came a bit late; in the new millennium, even. Regardless, the album sustains the same values of music that was established in the 90's during the post-grunge backlash. The album goes through many emotions, but usually it's anger. "Just Got Wicked" is the closest the band had to a single and has a strong chorus (most of these songs do), "End Of The World" is downright surreal. "Send In The Clowns" is the major stand-out here, really pressing almost everything the genre has to offer into one four minute stack. Even ballad lovers get a major boon here, with gorgeous closer "Bleed" showing of the band's ability to be sweet and sincere in spite of the darkness that clouds the rest of this album. Sierra Swan does some excellent background vocals in "No One", which should be mentioned. Very solid album, if it's your kind of thing.
