Is it so bad that it is good??

I really do not listen to rock/alternate radio stations.
However recently for some quirky reason I was listening to
99.1 out of Baltimore/Washington. I went bananas over
one song. It took about a week at the local music stores, but finally I found out the group:Godsmack. I bought it. It is the first rock CD I have purchased since Nirvana's Nevermind CD of 1991(?). The first three songs are the most awesome metal angst I have heard. Are they even considered a metal band or what. By my moniker, I am not a terribly "up" on rock these days. But by metal standards are they terrible, average or even good. Who else even sounds like them, particularly that machine gun bass?? Thanks to any who comment.

David, I did tonight. Overall you are absolutely correct!!
However, I am just entranced with the first three songs on the second CD. It is that killer machine gun bass that gets me going!! The rest of the CD is just filler, actually pretty mundane. Hey the albums of most rock groups have
a couple of "hits" and the rest is filler including the best of the best rock groups. I do not have to tell you how many albums that I have purchased over the last 40 years that are one hit wonders.
