A nu-metal (generally pertaining to their first album, The Sickness)/hard rock (the latter albums, Believe and Ten Thousand Fists) band mostly known for their debut and its most popular single, "
Down With The Sickness". Therefore, they are generally dismissed as an immature, typical nu-metal band. While The Sickness is decent, their follow-up, Believe, contains melodic and complex elements that more than surpass it. Their most recent album, Ten Thousand Fists, effectively combines the anger of The Sickness and the focused
creativity of Believe. Most listeners do not realize this,
of course.
