This was the most vibrant and diverse genre of metalWhy did it peak and die so soon?
>>122570851>MindfunkC'mon that band and album is barely funk, still a good forgotten 90s gem. Also, Scatterbrain (along with Ludichrist) is sooo underrated. Great pick. Other essential i'd add>Jane's Addiction - Nothing's Shocking>Bad Brains - I Against I>Iceburn - Firon>Mordred - In this life>Kong - Phlegm>Korn st>Nuclear Rabbit - Vicuna>Snot - Get Some>Slab! - Descension>Rollins Band - Weight >Bleach - 起爆剤

>>122572186Worth a listen if you like funk metal but science is the better album. It's borrows pretty heavily from primus/rhcp/bungle but is still uniquely incubus. Not bad considering this was some of the first songs they wrote as teenagers.
>>12257085190-95 was an incredibly diverse time for rock music. After that, not so much. RHCP had major label albums in the 80s, not a diverse time for music. Then in 1991, they had a meeting and said "lets make all the slightly different stuff huge" and they all became huge at almost the same time. But then they said "lets go back to dull and generic - or numetal, which morphed into the active rock we've been listening to for the last 25 years.
>>122576326It's still odd how a band like Primus got famous
>>122570851>>122572169>most of these bands are californianwhat do they put in the water there
>>122572186Love this album. Sink Beneath The Line and Hilikus are standout songs. Science and Make Yourself were great albums too, but moved more and more towards nu-metal/prog-metal. By the time they finished making Morning View, their original bassist was pissed at the direction of the band and left. I still like their newer albums like Crow Left Of The Murder, but their early stuff is better.it's annoying that they don't have this album listed on Spotify. I'd assume it's because they were signed to a different record company, and it can't be listed.
>>122570851>scatterbrainThank you for remembering anon
>>122576326>90-95 was an incredibly diverse time for rock musicyup there was a sleek minimalist sound that was big in the early '90s and unfortunately got left behindhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhJRpI4sscc>>122572169it's not hard enough to be metal (other than battle flag) but pigeonhed made some very funky tracks around that timehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RthY1GC08aU
>>122572169>Nothing's Shockingdon't forget about Ritual de lo Habitual
>>122578331MTV was quite important in the 90s. It wasn't Active Rock MD/PDs who were pushing this stuff, it was MTV. MTV was pushing a lot of fresh rock sounds in the early mid 90s, and nu metal was fresh after that.
>>122580257https://youtu.be/HCuV7-XBpJI?si=uymfjIQN_VPu9JDRmore funk than rock - but from the early mid 90s - All Mighty Senators

I liked Infectious Grooves for like a week and I still cringe about it

>>122570851Thrash and crossover bands jumped on the funky meme early on and they killed it.
>>122570851A thread for me! I've been listening to 24-7 Spyz quite a lot. Picrel is probably their best. I wouldn't say the album this is from is great or anything, but I didn't mind Death Angel switching styles when their original vocalist left. I think this song was one of their best from that timehttps://youtu.be/Us108zKayFo?si=0XJTH8KMf0z4xHZu
Funk metal didn't quite die it evolved into nu metal
