Songs for the Deaf is indeed one of the best American rock albums of the early decade of the new millennium, a surprise; it didn't invent anything, but it had those catchy riffs and the ability to create beautiful songs with minimal embellishments and just a few right notes, which is now rarely heard in American rock. Audioslave, from what I’ve heard, bores me a lot.

How wonderful, it feels like being at the Debaser from a few years ago!

I remember that years ago this album was at the top of my shopping list because the volume metallus (a sort of encyclopedia of the best of metal) ranked it as one of the most experimental and "ahead of its time" albums of the 90s regarding metal, but these various reviews make me think the opposite.

I also think of Katatonia and Anathema, who completely changed their genre, just like Paradise Lost.

Sorry, but there are metal bands that have experimented and even better ones. The Black Album by Metallica is more of a regression than an experimentation, not because the album is catchier than the previous ones, but because the structure of the songs is simpler and more classic. In fact, Load is a more experimental album than The Black Album, because there Metallica were shifting towards rock, significantly changing their sound. Moreover, there are metal bands that have successfully experimented; Metallica doesn't fit as an example. You could have mentioned Arcturus, Ulver, or Emperor (among the bands that experiment in metal, radically altering their sound).

Of course, oceansize, your reasoning is very clear; now one can't even have opposing opinions...

Michael Moore Sicko

Yes, I too have seen too much sentimentality and rhetoric; the scene in France, for example, is exaggerated. Well, anyway, Moore doesn't really have much of a culture. In America, there haven't been that many popular struggles. Still, the film is an important document, with interesting moments, and after watching it, you are left with something, and in some parts, it's shocking.

Anyway, fabioz, in my opinion, there have indeed been better albums than Nevermind in the '90s, aside from the grunge wave. For example, Aenima by Tool. Staying within the rock genre, Anathema is another great band for me; Alternative 4 and Judgement are the most underrated albums in rock, even though their emotional impact and lyrics far exceed those of more famous bands. Then there are Faith No More, the incredible Kyuss, and many others that I can’t think of right now, whom I consider to be far superior to Nirvana. Fortunately, the '90s were not just about grunge (even though it’s an important genre with good stuff).
