rock amania

this album was good the guitars played awsome in the songs good god and Addidis my favorite songs was good god and no place to hide and wicked and Addidis some songs i did'nt care for but this album was good it was'nt great like their other albums but it was preety good. Follow the leader and issues was the best thats until see you on the other side came out in 2005 a awsome album some songs were weird if you listen closley then in 2007 evolution came out and that was the best korn album out of all of them. but this album was good.

Yes it is.

This was almost a continuation of their debut. The sound is very similar, and just like the first, there is not a dull moment. Odd song structures and insane vocals are prevalent. "ADIDAS", "Wicked", "No Place to Hide", "Twist", "Chi", "Swallow" "Mr. Rogers", etc. This album rocks and is full of killer tracks. There are a lot of Korn haters out there, so if you are just becoming familiar with them, listen and make a decision for yourselves. Don't listen to the haters. They are usually people who don't have open minds about anything, or they are insecure and bashing others makes them feel special. Korn is one of the best heavy bands in recent years and one of the most original to come out in the 90s. Are they the most talented? NO. Plenty of other bands have better guitarists, drummers, bassists, and vocalists. But they are good at what they do, and have made a successful career of it. I don't care how talented someone is with their instrument: if they can't write a hook, people will forget them. Korn knows hooks.

Missing they Y from the name

Once upon a time I use to really like Korn and this was shockingly one of my favourite albums at the time but thankfully I grew up and listening to this garbage now makes me feel embarrased. Every track on here sounds the same apart from Wicked which is a cover anyway but this record is so obviously rushed it must have been done in like 2 days.

Johnathan Davis is one of the worst singers ever all he does is whine like a bratty kid that didn't get his favourite toy for christmas, he can't sing to save his life. None of the surposed musicians in the band have any talent. The guitaists Munky and head are both lousy guitarists who play the same riff over again, while Fieldy just slaps random strings not creating any kind of melody from them just slaps which doesnt make a good bass player. Drummer David Silveria is below Mediocre he just plays the same basic drum beat over and over.

The album starts of horibly with Twist which sees Jonathan making stupid noises over a crappy riff in the background. Making stupid noises is perhaps the only thing Johnathan Davis is good at.

It surprises me Head didnt leave earlier then he did if I was in this band I would have left as soon as this appaling record came out and saved myself the embaresment. Your life certainly wont be peachy after listening to this. March 12, 2007

more melody is needed

overall this album is ok for the most part guitar riffs werent too great but the songs still sounded good it had really no melody becouse the instruments were grindy and thrashy , but aside from the non meledic tunes the lyrics are pretty dark and creepy and give you that wierd feeling however the reason it was so grimey was not only for the lack of melody but becouse this ws a bit of a turn point for the band from general guitars(self titled korn)to electronics (untouchables)this i believe was in the middle of all of it anyway they were on a slipperly slope with this and almost messed this one up but they had some songs that kept the album alive like porno creep and a.d.i.d.a.s. and I dont think there will ever be a time were they ever mess an album up December 28, 2006

Overrated

Okay, let's get something straight: Just because an album is loud and full of anger does not make it good!

The album starts out with Jon screaming complete gibberish while the music players of the group make various noises with their instruments, this goes on for about a minute. The rest of the songs continue in pretty much the same fashion.

Honestly, the only one who sounds halfway decent on here is David, but as a drummer he'd have to be pretty bad not to sound good compared to the squealing and sludging noise of everyone else. On this record, rather than playing their instruments, the boys seem to be "playing with" them, as a child would play with his food. The guitarists try to mask the fact that they aren't very good by incorporating all sorts of effects and tricks into their playing, like pitch-shifting pedals and feedback, but that doesn't help any.

I was surprised to learn that the song "No Place to Hide" was nominated for a grammy. Just goes to show you how bad people's judgement is nowadays.

In conclusion, Any KoRn fan will tell you this is a very good album because of it's raw anger and so-called heaviness, but don't be fooled, this is not good because it's not music it's noise. This album is essential only if you're a diehard KoRn fan and any other fan is likely to call you a poser if you don't own it. To everyone else, stay far away.
