SamoaRowe 0 Report post 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." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2004 See, in order to get one of these topics, a band shouldn't blow. Â They did have a nice run of cutesy special effects videos in the middle there, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post 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. Â 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mindless_Aggression Report post Posted January 6, 2004 First album, far and away. It's horrible honestly but at least it had some genuine passion involved. Â 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B. Brian Brunzell 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nighthawk 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brocklock 0 Report post 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. Â I'd rank them this way. Â Â 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JumpinJackFlash Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KanadianKrusty 0 Report post 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 0 Report post 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. Â 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. Â 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. Â But dear god, don't let Korn fans hear you don't like their music. Cause Korn is beautiful and saved their life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest mesepher Report post 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.

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
caboose 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
