10 Perfect Metal Albums With ZERO Bad Songs

As nu metal started to wane in relevancy, it was getting harder and harder to stomach the glossy side of rock and roll. After all, since Korn was getting equal billing on the same channels that catered to the Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears, where were the guys that had the potential to scare you to death when they played? While Slipknot had been getting attention off of their first few releases, Iowa cemented their legacy forever.

Looking to blow away their competition, these 9 maniacs from Iowa took all of the scary moments of their debut record and amplified them that much more on here, bringing together songs that felt genuinely disturbing when you listened to them. This wasn't just the watered down version of what they had on their debut. This was the sound of a band that managed to bring death metal influences to the masses, especially on songs like "People = Sh*t" and "Left Behind."

Also, ever notice that you haven't too many metalheads try to release their own version of an album like Iowa? While acts from the metalcore scene might have their usual bag of tricks, they never bother to reach this level of heaviness. Sometimes when you create something that's done this well, there's no real reason to mess with perfection.
