Some of the nu-metal bands had a real quality about them. I know it isn't popular, but Deftones and Korn are excellent bands with an amazing intensity to some of their stuff.
Most of the post-grunge(save for a few acts)is really lifeless. Shinedown's debut album was pretty decent, a few others... Bush's Sixteen Stone... most of it's very watered down and lifeless.
The stuff now like BVB's is far worse than either. Totally lifeless and fake.
