SamoaRowe Posted January 6, 2004 Report Posted January 6, 2004 I think I'm going with "Issues" because it brings back some super fond memories, though technically, their best album is probably "Follow The Leader."
Brocklock Posted January 6, 2004 Report Posted January 6, 2004 The self title debut is the best and Issues is probably the worst.
Steviekick Posted January 6, 2004 Report Posted January 6, 2004 Their first album was the best and everything else sounded exactly like it and managed to suck.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted January 6, 2004 Report Posted January 6, 2004 See, in order to get one of these topics, a band shouldn't blow. They did have a nice run of cutesy special effects videos in the middle there, though.
Corey_Lazarus Posted January 6, 2004 Report Posted January 6, 2004 Follow The Leader. The band finally figured out how to write a song, and what do the fans do? Hate on them for it. What? Do you WANT more generic "dun dun CHA-CHUNK" guitar riffs while Fieldy pretends to be able to play bass and Jon whines about his life? At least Follow The Leader showed some basic musicianship skills.
Guest Mindless_Aggression Posted January 6, 2004 Report Posted January 6, 2004 First album, far and away. It's horrible honestly but at least it had some genuine passion involved. All in all, Korn may be one of the most pathetic bands ever. Or at least one of the more annoying. Every album is gonna be the next level of creativity or heavier than ever and every new album procedes to suck dick in the exact same manner that all previous did. It's kinda funny in a sad way. I'm still not sure if the bass and drums different at all on any of their songs but thats just me.
B. Brian Brunzell Posted January 6, 2004 Report Posted January 6, 2004 Their self-titled debut is the only album that I find to be even remotely listenable. I can still jam"Blind", "Clown" and "Faget" without any problem.
Nighthawk Posted January 6, 2004 Report Posted January 6, 2004 I can listen to them as long as I don't pay attention. They're actually pretty good as background noise. Unfortunately every Korn fan I've ever met is an idiot. They suffer for their audience. I like Life Is Peachy the best.
converge241 Posted January 6, 2004 Report Posted January 6, 2004 self title hands down then in order mirror leader issues peachy i like to pretend untouchables does not exist because i think it's awful
SamoaRowe Posted January 6, 2004 Author Report Posted January 6, 2004 The self title debut is the best and Issues is probably the worst. I don't know, I happen to like all of their albums.
Cartman Posted January 6, 2004 Report Posted January 6, 2004 The self title debut is the best and Issues is probably the worst. I don't know, I happen to like all of their albums. Well alot of other people do as well, it's just this board that we are in the vast minority.
Brocklock Posted January 7, 2004 Report Posted January 7, 2004 I don't know, I happen to like all of their albums. I like all of them except Issues. Untouchables was disappointing, but had a few decent songs. I'd rank them this way. Self Titled Life Is Peachy Take A Look In the Mirror (This will end up being their most underrated album since no one bought it.) Follow The Leader (I really have to listen to it again. Haven't heard it since 2000.) Untouchables Issues
Guest JumpinJackFlash Posted January 7, 2004 Report Posted January 7, 2004 I never owned a Korn album, but 'Freak on a Leash' is my favorite Korn song, so I'll have to go with Follow the Leader.
KanadianKrusty Posted January 7, 2004 Report Posted January 7, 2004 I don't get the Korn hate, the FANBASE hate I have no problem with, but I don't think they're THAT bad (and I'm NOT saying they're great either), I own the first album and Issues, both are pretty good IMO.
2GOLD Posted January 7, 2004 Report Posted January 7, 2004 The only band that managed to stay as generic as possible while Davis whines about how his life is...IN EVERY ALBUM. Ok Davis, WE GET IT. You had a bad life, go hug a teddy bear and shut up. These guys are done and they don't even know it. Then again, you'll always have teens who can relate to a talentless twit who cries about how tough life is and how angry he is cause Mommy and Daddy wouldn't let him have a pony. He's like if Veruca Salt had managed to write music, THIS is the music. Annoying, chunks of what appears to be sound but you aren't sure as loud screaming begins shaking your ears. But dear god, don't let Korn fans hear you don't like their music. Cause Korn is beautiful and saved their life.
Guest mesepher Posted January 7, 2004 Report Posted January 7, 2004 But dear god, don't let Korn fans hear you don't like their music. Cause Korn is beautiful and saved their life. You hit the nail right on the head with that one. My exgirlfriend really dug Korn (along with many other inferior bands) and I can't believe how upset she would get when I would explain just why they were so bad.
Nighthawk Posted January 7, 2004 Report Posted January 7, 2004 Then again, you'll always have teens who can relate to a talentless twit who cries about how tough life is and how angry he is cause Mommy and Daddy wouldn't let him have a pony. That's exactly it. You always will have them, so there will always be a place for Korn. If you are a whiny teen, then it's right up your alley, if you aren't, and I suppose most of here aren't, you won't "get it". Hence why if I listen to them at all, I don't pay attention. Without the lyrics, it's all just a heavy sludge with no highs or lows, and that's ok by me.
caboose Posted January 7, 2004 Report Posted January 7, 2004 Definately the the first album. If not for its influence, then simply because it was original at the time and not a parody of itself like the others. I will even go as far as saying Limp Bizkit are better than KoRn. Yeah I said it.
Guest Doyo Posted January 8, 2004 Report Posted January 8, 2004 If you want to hear something that is so bad that it is hilarious, try listening to Fieldy's solo rap album.
Guest netslob Posted January 11, 2004 Report Posted January 11, 2004 These guys are done and they don't even know it. Then again, you'll always have teens who can relate to a talentless twit who cries about how tough life is and how angry he is cause Mommy and Daddy wouldn't let him have a pony. well, if you consider getting raped by your father and not getting a pony the same thing, i guess your right, spunky.
Mole Posted January 11, 2004 Report Posted January 11, 2004 The first three albums were great, after that it was all down hill.
Corey_Lazarus Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 well, if you consider getting raped by your father and not getting a pony the same thing, i guess your right, spunky. Well, if you consider a father and a mother the same thing, then yeah. Jon Davis has said several times in various interviews that his father never did anything like that to him, since his dad was with a few bands and did touring all of the time. His mom molested him. And? Is it really worth five albums of him doing nothing but going "I HATE MY LIFE" over and over? No, it's not. Dude, even Kurt Cobain talked about more, and Jon, he was WAAAAY more depressed and fucked up than you could ever hope to be.
Guest netslob Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 hey, no one's pointing a gun at your head and forcing you to listen to'em, studley
Styles Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 I got Follow The Leader back when I was young and stupid and liked Got The Life. I never have and don't want to hear any of the other ones, so I'll vote for FTL
