I can think of a few albums sometimes considered nu metal that I enjoy.

System Of A Down's S/T, even though it really doesn't sound very nu metal at all. More like just some hardcore influenced alternative metal.

Fear Factory's Soul Of A New Machine and Demanufacture are both excellent, but they're closer to death metal with industrial elements.

Sepultura's Roots has all the elements of nu metal, and it's a classic. However, it has a lot more depth than the average nu metal album, the world music influences and emphasis on the instrumental aspect is very refreshing for the genre.
