Advantages: Pure genius album, good track listings Disadvantages: Some of the songs do sound a little similar
..."Dirty" - 7:50 Issues was the fourth studio album presented by Korn. At the time of release there were 5 members - Jonathon Davies, Munky, Fieldy, Head and David.
Issues is a completely brilliant album, full of the drums, lyrics and pure genius you would expect from Korn. It has the metal/rock sound we all know and love from KoRn.
This record has sold over 5,000,000 copies worlwide!
The cover pictures the now known as 'KoRn doll' - there was a ... ...and the 4 best were chosen and a number of each covers were produced. This is the most common.
You can buy this album now on ebay for probably under £5, or it is sometimes seen in hmv, virgin etc in the sale for around £7.
Tracks to listen to - falling away from me, somebody someone, make me bad, lets get this party started. (Although, in my opinion this is KoRn at their finest and I would listen to the whole album without skipping tracks) ...

Advantages: Beg For Me Disadvantages: Some would say Korn have gone soft
...Issues is return to the sound of Korn's self titled debut, a heavy wall of guitar riding on a wave of groove. Vocally, Jon Davis has proved himself to be one of the best singers (yes, I said singers) around, coupled with the now obligatory cathartic lyrical bent which takes all of Korn's songs into exciting new territories.
On Issues, the songs are stronger and better realised. Beg For Me is an outstanding example of the sheer power that Korn possess. A grinding sledgehammer of a tune which - although heavy - stake a claim at another MTV breakthrough á la Got The Life.
Falling Away From Me, Wake Up, Let's Get The Party Started all produce the required teeth gritting, head shaking and intensity you'd want and expect, but with a more refined production. Korn have spent money on this record and it shows. But then if you've got it...

Advantages: bagpipes! Disadvantages: not very original, can get repetitive, swear words
...issues, issues, issues. what a brilliant album. korn at their most finest, with such brill songs on this album such as falling away from me, and the brilliantly entitled "trash". i brought this album just to get any oled korn album, and now ive realised, after listening to the other three albums, that this a supreme album by a supreme artist. Every album they make is well worth getting. some people may find this album very offensive, as it does rely on creating some strong images at times, and also it uses quite a lot of swear words. i think this album is a very strong album with many a good point, though now and again does get quite repetitive....
