Follow The Leader

false

My senses were in less pain than in the case of Slipknot, yet my sensibilities were all the more injured for it.

All In The Family is puerile but mildly amusing

Très bon album, la bass est vraiment novatrice, les vocales sont pesant mais émotifs. On y retrouve des gros hits, par contre quelque tounes ou interludes inutiles. Je trouve que c’est de la musique pesante mais accessible et c’est vraiment ce que Korn fait de Mieux! Un groupe qui a influencé beaucoup de groupe de nos jours. Je lévite; Got the Life, criss the chef d’œuvre ça même Pierre va aimé ça. Freak on a leash, its on, BKK, my gift to you Je l’évite; Children of the korn la toune n’a pas rapport et c’est très moyen, le battle entre Davis et Fred durst aussi c’est pas nécessaire (all in the family)

No. Just no. This almost makes me wish I gave Slipknot a 2 so this could inhabit it's own tier of awful.

this is the first album to offend me. I was a huge Korn and loved the nu-metal scene. It jumped the shark hard and became a joke. This is the album that killed the scene. Overproduced and inauthentic.

pas mon style mais j'apprécie le talent musical tres solide .pour les oreilles pointus j'ai une sugestion .c'est black napkins de franck zapa . 18 minutes mais il y a de la viande sur l'os...

Not a fan of the genre.

Parfois le monde décrive le métal comme du ''criage'', et ça existe certainement, mais j'ai vraiment pas trouvé que ça s'appliquait à cet album. J'ai même trouvé l'album assez lyrical et intéressant. Beaucoup de chansons que j'ai adoré et c'est pourquoi ma note est élevée. Par contre, je ne peux pas donner 5 étoiles à cause du vibe du groupe. Les chansons sont hargneuses, fâchées. C'est des émotions importantes mais je n'ai pas nécessairement le goût de me faire mettre dans ce mood là quand j'écoute un album. Même dans le featuring avec Fred Durst, ils font juste s'envoyer chier tout au long de la toune. Je suis trop de bonne humeure pour leur donner un 5.

Just really not a big fan of this album. It’s a shame since I live in the state of Corn

Oh no. Nu-Metal. Sweet Gary. Call me a freak on a leash because this is prison. This has "Edgy, Weepy Teen" written in neon green spray paint all over it. It's like they took all the cool parts of metal and then added all the worst parts of industrial and goth rock. I blame southern California for this. Plus, the lead singer is using that weird nasal tone that everybody used in the 90s. It's like Dave Matthews got put into the Microwave and then was forced to watch The Crow over and over again. Not a fan. Trent Reznor probably regrets inspiring these guys. How the hell did they get Ice Cube and Cheech on this turkey?

Holy crap this is terrible. Literal sonic garbage. I would rather go completely deaf then listen to this album again.

MTV nos engaño... En realidad no traen mucho.

Ashamed I used to listen to this

As good as I remember. They can play the shit out of some music!

It aight.

I'm okay with the music, but the dark imagery got old pretty quick. Not really my cup of tea

My brothers favourite album from the 90s

RUNGAVIMBIYAWTA

No voy a andar dando explicaciones >:(

Dos rolas aguantan... si tuviera 15 años

Full of cringe and those baggy mall-goth pants.

Woof.

Interesting intro to Metal for me. This is apparently "Nu Metal" which is a good entry point to metal for people that are interested. I still feel metal is quite boring in it's composition and melody, but I also thought the same about hip hop until I found good hip hop. This could be the same for metal. Korn is certainly a good intro for me, but I still feel there could be more to be done to make this interesting.

Nostalgia and groove, but serious offenders of nickel-backing

Not my type of tunes.

hs favorite

Bit aggressive and dark for my tastes. Didn't finish.

Gave up halfway through, Limp Bizkit pushed me over the edge lmao. There are some moments where my Lizard Brain takes over and I find the grooves trashy in a fun a way but then when I pay the slightest bit of attention to what I'm listening to I'm like, "Hey! What the fuck?" This Aussie breaks their long streak of 5/5s and gives Follow the Leader their first one Starbucks latte* out of five. *The joke here is that Starbucks performed so poorly in Straya that the only remaining branches here are at touristy spots where visitors who know nothing about our coffee culture go to.

A couple cool grooves but any listening of the lyrics left me completely turned off

Wie tief kann man Saiteninstrumente stimmen? Korn! Das bratzt Anfangs ganz ordentlich, trägt aber nicht über die ganze Platte und ist schließlich einfach ermüdend. Gerade so 3 Sterne wegen Rumms! und 2-3 guter Songs.

Oh Korn. Reading more into the band and specifically the singer, it's clear that this music isn't about "pretending to be hardcore" as I'd originally assumed. Johnathan Davis had a very traumatic life in a lot of ways, and he's trying to channel that here into something good and I think he deserves credit for that. I think Nu-Metal is a really shit genre but Davis deserves credit for like, creating it? It deserves to be on the list for sure, but it's definitely not a personal favorite. "Dead Bodies Everywhere" "Reclaim My Place" are the best tracks.

Wild ride, this one is. Some creepy shit, but also good jams

Takes me back to my early teen years. Freak on a Leash was great back then but listening to the lyrics of the album as an adult... A bit out there "Tie my pecker to a tree..." I appreciate the trailblazing of a new genre, but I think I've outgrown KoRn

Nostalgia trip that didn't quite hold up. Freak on a leash still slaps, but Davis' voice and lyrics no longer resonate. All in the family and children of the Korn are terrible.

A classic from the 90s that I only just listened to front to back!

Though many kids talked about this album due to it's shock value. They didn't consider how shock value becomes irrelevant as something more shocking comes out. This album probably will not stand this test of time.

This album goes hard.

i like korn but that one didnt land as much

Ah... Nu Metal digs

Didn't expect to like this but I did. It has a nice grooves some heavy guitar riffs and is innovative. Too long though

Awful

It was ok. Like someone just got a new stomp box.

This is nostalgic for me, even if it's not my favorite Korn album. There's definitely some Korny (har har) lines, but Freak on a Leash still goes hard

An interminably long album featuring lots of growling, vocal-fry singing, whispering, gibberish, and bagpipes. It's not just that the music sucks. The lyrics are inane, and I feel like I'm being generous with that description. A low point is "All in the Family," where Jonathan Davis and Fred Durst trade stupid insults that are variations on "You're a fag lol" for five very long minutes. I had successfully scrubbed this song from my brain, but here it is again, tormenting me. I don't hate this album as much as I fear having to hear it again. That may not be true; I do hate it as well. Best track: Freak on a Leash

It has it's moments, but overall i have a hard time with the style and feel of the album

Nu-metal's haters and defenders have all had their say, and I can add nothing. Mostly because I listened to it not at all (essentially, let's not talk about Skillet). Don't really like it, and this album is no exception to the rule that I have zero interest in relistening to it. On the other hand, nothing (except maybe the Durst track) is something I find actively bad, so I wouldn't mind if someone wanted to put it on. Certainly wouldn't mock them for it. It's still great that the genre had a short life. Bagpipe points go to Korn and not nu-metal.

1998: Freak On a Leash, Children of the Korn

Hard rock isn’t entirely my jam, but it was a solid album

Way too long, or how I came to tell my aunt I like Korn now.

Simply magnificent album, the best of the band. Powerful, with many hip hop influences....magnificent.

Some great tracks but I was always more of a Limp Bizkit fan

2.5/5. It wasn't bad, but it sure wasn't good. Is this what Nu Metal is? It was like metal with some rapping. Very interesting but by no means enjoyable.

Ugh. I just cannot. Made it halfway through one song.

Some moments.... mostly not. What’s the scatting all about??

Surprisingly enjoyable in places, the drums are lively, the tunes are catchy. But some of the lyrics - especially the hip hop cameos - have not aged well. It also gets very samey by the end. Absolutely non essential, but better than I expected.
