Top Ten Most Underrated Nu Metal Ballads

The Top Ten
1 Awkward Silence - Twisted Method

Andrew Howard may be dead now, but those guitar tones in this song make this probably my favorite nu metal ballad ever. It's so serene.

2 Suffocate - Crossfade

One of the most haunting songs ever made, shame that so many people have never heard this one.

3 Relapse - 40 Below Summer

I could fill this list with 40 Below Summer tunes honestly. Really sweet song, only problem is the bad sound quality which is on the entire album.

4 Fatal Fall - Flaw

Good lord I talk about this album too much. It's just the greatest comeback for a nu metal band ever. And this ballad is just perfect.

5 Ether - Nothingface

Beautiful ballad from an otherwise unknown band.

6 Face Down - Unloco

Another horrifically underrated band about to make a comeback. Very wonderful ballad made here from their first album.

7 Leech - Sevendust

Like 40 Below Summer, Sevendust is extremely underrated, but I tend to listen to this soundtrack track for my favorite Sevendust ballad.

8 Goodnight - Dry Kill Logic

Acoustic ballad to conclude one of nu metal's heaviest albums.

9 Why Dreams Bleed - Index Case
10 Wasted Years - Cold

Can't forget this one. This one is one of Cold's best.

The Contenders
11 Serenity - Godsmack

Say what you will about Godsmack, but this was the best ballad they've ever made and I never hear this song talked about much.

12 Devil - Staind

"I swear I'm not the devil, though you think I am" enough said here.

13 Worlds Divide - Flaw
14 Best I Am - Flaw
15 Like - Taproot
16 Drown - 40 Below Summer
17 If Rain is What You Want - Slipknot
