It's about time for another one of my extremely controversial reviews. I'm just going to dive right into this one.
When I was young, Korn was one of my favorite bands. I won't even deny that.
My very first album, I got it before I was 10, was Korn's self titled album. My dad bought it for me for my birthday. He had no clue what type of music it was, nor did I, he didn't even know what Parental Advisory meant at that time. Needless to say, I was the only one of the kids my age listening to music like Korn.
While everyone else was going around listening to the Backstreet Boys or N-Sync (n-stink), I was listening to Nu-metal. I have a natural deep respect for Korn's early work.
The self titled album crept out of the Bakersfield area with a dull roar, and it didn't really raise too many eyebrows. I'm no professional reviewer, but if you do go and read up the pro reviews of that album, you won't find anything too good about it. It was a bit different than the music of that time period, for example, I believe Anthrax and Slaughter had just released a new album that the year Korn's first album came out. That being said, when you would listen to this album, especially after hearing the stereotypical music of the age, you were a bit taken aback. Some people loved it, and some people hated it. (Just like with all music) Myself, I really enjoyed that first album.
It had an intensity, or a feel to it like no other release that I had. (Then again, you give a 10 year old a cd like that, what would you expect?) Even to this day, I still enjoy listening to that album. Songs like Blind and Faget have become so well known to me over the years, and I really do enjoy listening to them occasionally.
So after the self titled album, you get Life Is Peachy. This album was a shocker to many people out there, especially parents. Was one of the most blatant, right out there songs, about sex, and I personally loved it. (Still do actually, pretty funny track in my opinion) You had a brand new band with the balls to offend millions of people with a song that doens't even last for 4 minutes. Now, this album as a whole did not and does not catch my eye.
Only a few tracks still stick out from this album. (Tracks like Wicked, mainly because it's so damn weird, and Twist because it's just weird too) I must admit, it feels weird sticking up for a band that got so damn popular, especially when I spend most of my time writing reviews for bands, popular bands, that I hate with a deep passion. I'm not going to go and review every single album from these guys either, so don't worry avid readers, this is about to end.
Over the years, Korn has went down hill. The more recent albums, like the new self titled album, just suck.
Actually, if I were rating them, I would give them about a 2/10. (Not the band as a whole, but the new albums) I can understand that Head wanted to leave. Hey, he has a kid and did not like the idea of his child being brought up next to a band like Korn. (Then again, if your 3 year old child comes up to you and says 'What the fuck', I'd be a bit taken aback too) Head spent many years with Korn, and if he wanted to leave, it was 100% his choice.
Family before music. However, Korn went into a slump.
I don't blame band members leaving for this, but rather I blame their inability to conform the right way. I hate bands that decide to go with the flow, bands that try to adjust their music to a new generation of fans. Not only did Korn try to do that, they failed horribly at doing it. Now, I respect this band far too much to drop all appreciation for them, but I refuse to buy their new material.
(I just don't like it) So, here is my little final words section, so if you have not ready shit up to this point, pay attention: If you really want to hear music by Korn when they were in their prime, go grab any album from their self titled album, up to around Issues. (You may like Follow The Leader too, but that is up in the air with most people) If you truly love being disappointed, go grab their new works. If I were going to rate Korn on their early works, as a band I would give them a 90/100, but with the new crap they have out, I could only give them a 40/100. Yup, a 50 point drop due to about 4 crappy releases. Come on Davis, stop making retarded music videos about how you disapprove about corporate control of music labels, and then go and make the new garbage you've been coming up with.
(Doubt he'd ever read this, but if he does.). Korn started out with a sound no-one ever heard before. They got tagged 'Nu-Metal' and started a trend many tried to follow.
Some bands (like Coal Chamber) came close, but no band managed to get their formula together. Heavy hiphop-based basslines, low tuned guitars and a singer who poors his heart out on stage. The Albums; 1. Korn - Dramatic, frustration, low, heavy, created the “Nu-Metal” genre. Life Is Peachy – From heavy (“Chi” and “Kill You”, one of my favourite tracks) to funny (A.D.I.D.A.S. And Twist) 3, Issues – Production is better, catchier phrases but still very much frustration and great bass lines and guitar riffs (Falling Away From Me, Make Me Bad, Somebody Someone are my favourites).
Follow The Leader – Great tracks, Korn’s prime, some unneeded guest performances and very good promoted on MTV. Best tracks: Dead Bodies Everywhere / Got The Life. Untouchables – Melodic, misses the frustrations and low groovy guitar riffs.
Not my favourite. Take A Look In The Mirror – Much heavier than all the previous albums. Contains the track Alive (from their demo tape) Counting On Me (my favourite) and listen to Break Some Off and Let’s Do This Now! I think this is a very underestimated album and I really liked this one.
See You On The Other Side - Strange album with very weird and suprising songs. Not heavy at all, more soft rock. Counting on me is nice but nothing too special on this one. Untitled – Genre: pop rock music. It could be a B-sides album. This album is simple, has some nice riffs here and there but nothing really stands out.
The only tracks I like are the sensitive song “Kiss” and “I Will Protect You” for the Terry Bozzio (Frank Zappa) drum solo! Remember Who You Are – Same producer as the first 2 albums, that’s why the sound is much more like the first albums. My favourite is “Pop A Pill” for the lyrics, Oildale and Are You Ready To Live for the frustrations. The Path Of Totality – Sounds like commercial expoiting the dubstep hype. Still Korn, but I’m just not into electronics.
Allthough they did win best album for this @ revolver not my kind of music. I allways liked the phrase Jonathan Davis once said in an interview: “If our album was commercially succesfull I would consider that a personal failure”. The first four albums and “Remember Who You Are” are Korn in it’s basic form. The other albums are very changing and they suit the phrase as Korn just doing what they want. Allthough “The Path Of Totality” sounds like they are going for the commercial succes they claimed not to want.
Look at the Sasha 2 in detail and you quickly realize that, while much stays the same (the broad, four-box concept and system topology), virtually every detail of the design has evolved. 
Back in the 1980s, there were relatively few speakers that cost more than the WATT/Puppy combination; now they look positively modest, almost affordable compared to the more extreme offerings that have hit the market, a market in which six-figure price tags seem almost commonplace.
I’m still a big Korn fan and I’m sure we’ll be suprised by Korn once more. The live performances make up for a few lesser albums and with Head’s return I’m very anxious to hear new material. Korn in 2008 Korn has been under a lot of fire lately. After the departure of Brian Welch and the hiatus of David Silveria a lot of people say Korn has lost it. Understandable since only 3 members remain. But I assure you, they have not.
First of all the live-shows. I have seen them live without Brian and David and believe me, the shows still rock!
They have a very good back-up band giving Korn even more depth and a much more complete sound. The shows I have seen were very well put together with nice interludes to connect the songs and give Jonathan a moment to catch his breath. Even if only Jonathan Davis remained I would still want to see the shows, since music can be played by anyone who studies it, but vocals you can’t forge.
Jonathan’s solo tour proves this too, even tough those are mostly played acoustic. Second of all the new music. The 8th album was the first one with just the 3 remaining members. You can clearly hear it is a bit simpler and softer then the previous ones.
It misses some depth and low guitar work. But does anyone remember the fifth album “Untouchables”, which had a lot of comment too. The 8th album however did include ex-Zappa drummer Terry Bozzio, which is best heard on the song “I Will Protect You”, which I think is a masterpiece. Another masterpiece and my favorite on the 8th album is the song “Kiss”. After all the bullshit people wrote about their last album Korn responded with this frase: “If it were commercially succesfull I would consider that a personal failure'.
Full Discography Wow
I think that shows Korn is still doing what THEY like in stead of making what fans and record labels expect from them. And let that be the thing that started Korn in the first place, doing their own thing and becoming famous for it, even with no radio play or commercial succes in the beginning! The next album, I read in an interview, will be more back to their roots. I will look forward to that!
