To use my earlier example, if one worked at a record store, and a person came in and talked about how they loved early Korn and wanted something similar but just as brilliant, "Roots" would be a great recommendation. Whereas, in the same scenario, if someone came in proclaimed their love for "Cowboys From Hell", "Roots" would not be the album I'd recommend.
One would think the unique world music genre blending found on Roots would be lost on the likes of a KoRn fanatic

Nu-metal or not, it's a damn good record and certainly didn't sound like anything else at the time.
