Albums That Were Considered Huge Flops That You Actually Enjoy...

I thought Reinventing The Steel was weak, and I'm a huge Pantera fan.

I suppose I'd have to say I don't really pay attention to critics/sales figures, so I can't really say anything.

I guess Black Flag's post My War stuff and Bad Brains' later material comes to mind.

It was awesome! I remember staying the whole ending credits of the Matrix Reloaded just to check their music video for Dreaming Awake. Great times indeed!

POD... Wow that's a band I didn't think I'd see mentioned around here anymore. They were ok when they were popular while I was in high school, but they definitely aren't a band that would be picked up on by the current generation. At least I thought...

They were always a christiany, watery knock-off of Rage Against The Machine.

Don't know if you mean that as a good or bad thing... Well, Payable is the only album I still listen by them, mostly because it is different...

I'm not sure about this, maybe in the first releases. RATM wasn't even considered nu metal as far as I remember... And they were very famous with the general public, touring with korn, system of a down and such...

Nu metal is all modeled after what RATM was doing though. Just because they aren't labeled in the genre?

Nu metal doesn't include RATM because RATM were talented musicians and good lyricism and originality. Nu metal was mostly a crap genre, I was a kid and I used to like that stuff too, but the more I listen, the more I realize how much it sucks. Still like some of it I guess, like Fear Factory and Korn's first album and Coal Chamber was alright.

SOAD wasn't even nu metal, don't know how they got mixed into that list, but no, POD wasn't original enough to like for my tastes.

The Great Southern Trendkill wasn't critically acclaimed and that kicked ass! Possibly better than RTS.
