@@kwlks6 I mean, it all comes down to personal preference. I really like Freds vocals, huge inspiration for me when it comes to screaming. I think he sounded very genuine (on 3$bill) and that's what I really like about him.On later realeses, he exaggerated his delivery and it made sense, because the band was kind of a joke band, so it fit. His vocal 'badness' is also one of the reasons why limp bizkit songs are so easy to sing along to, you dont have to be trained opera singer or be remotely talented, to not butcher the song.

[@darkhorse9239]

[@willmoore7308]

Tallah deserves all the fame and attention in the world. Justin has been doing this for years and he is arguably one of the most diverse and talented vocalist in the scene right now

I feel I have to guve that to Murder Seed but the whole album is just awesome! Justin knows how to write, bar none lol

You gotta react to “Kungan” and “murderseed” and Justin is one of the most best and diverse singers in the game rn

[@wolfy_with_a_y]

These dudes are basically the pioneers of "Nu Metalcore". Theres been loads of bands with a lot of nu metal influence in modern years (of mice and men, i prevail, sylar, falling in reverse, even code orange tbh) but these guys coined it and where the first to admit being Nu Metal.

[@brandonfurtado2]

I think Sylar has been pretty honest in their interviews and clothing and music since around 2014 or so that they're nu metal. But Tallah is something else entirely. It's like Nu Metalcore/even borderline "nu deathcore"

[@darkkmelody]

Reading this comment after max joined code orange is hilarious

[@boredasfckxx]

Is that singer that dude who won that vocals contest that Jared Dines did back in the day?

[@saito2582]

Indeed he is

[@boredasfckxx]

Cool! That performance that won him that contest back then was amazing. Good to see he's still killing it.

[@twinny_mi]

And the best thing about Tallah-- They sound exactly like studio when live. You should hear their live performance of thier new album Matriphagy. It slams I get old Slipknot and general Korn vibes from them. I'm surprised Nik hadn't heard of them, Jared has mentioned thier music multiple times in his videos. Justin is a weird dude too lol

[@_Skylark]

Why everyone is comparing the sound to Slipknot when TO ME it sounds more like Korn ? I mean, the scratches are typicall Slipknot/Linkin Park but the riffage sounds more like Korn to me ! Anyway, good job mah dude, love your disgusted face every time a breakdown hits harder than the economical crisis due to covid !

[@blackknightstudios9958]

Kinda depends on the song, this song was totally Jim’s Roots style, I’d say the same with songs like overconfidence and no one should read this, but then you got songs like placenta and red light that are more like korn riffs

[@kitsuchimashiteru8360]

@@blackknightstudios9958 Well, I have to admit that it's clearly Roots signature riffs, but the way it's played, it's mixed and shit, it totally made me think of Korn, like.. I don't know. The violence in the riffage is more a Korn vibe (It made me think of titles like Falling Away From Me, Right Now, Clown for exemple) but yeah, you're right, definitely Jim Roots playstyle

[@blackknightstudios9958]

Overconfident is their #1 Placenta is #2 by my feels anyway. It is a concept album in which a son that never knows there are other people in the world takes care of his sick mother. Eventually turns on her, kills her (tallah), eats her after he cut off his man bits to try to be the girl his mother always wanted. He has a breakdown of every song and what part of the story it is. Very creepy and genious at the same time
