Korn/Follow The Leader - Korn

Advantages: Lots of excellent consistent hard and soft rock tracks!
Disadvantages: There are none if you like weird rock music. If you don't then this is probably not you're type of music

There are two CDs in this box set by Korn, Korn and Follow the Leader. Korn was the first album out of these two, in fact it was actually Korn's first ever album. It has twelve tracks that are sort of rap hardcore metal. Not as in rap like Eminem etc. I mean a good lot of heavy metal with a good beat; it is like a mixture between rock, punk and metal. They are sort of like Slipknot in a way because of they're random music, and rhythm, however in ...
...Overall it is a LOUD, ANGRY, HEAVY METAL album. This album you can only play on full blast volume, it is not quiet. It has fourteen random tracks and it stays like that the whole way through. Well that's what makes it so good! It has a good rhythm and beat to it for every track. If you like System of a Down, Linkin Park, Nirvana etc, then you will love this. This is one of they're best albums because they seem to stand out from all of the other ... Read review

Advantages: Groundbreaking experimental and inventive
Disadvantages: Bizarre sounds unsettle you. Disturbing traumatizing expletive lyrics not for the fainthearted

...Korn Follow The Leader KORN Follow The Leader Compact Disc (2003) Album The cover displays an intriguing piece of artwork. The back of a small blonde girl wearing a red dress teeters at the edge of a path jutting off a cliffs edge. The path has markings in white of a hop-scotch game to which she is about to step off the number 9 and off the cliff edge into certain death. She leads a long trail of children to the same fate. This convoy stretches back towards the back of the cd and the same depiction is on the inside of the cd inlay. A reference to the "Pied Piper of Hamlin", probably who led the children away from the parents when they refused to pay him for his enchanting music. (a fairy tale). The drab and bleak colours of the scene are contrasted with the bright red dress of the little girl. Almost suggestive... Read review

Advantages: bagpipes, lyrics
Disadvantages: ??????????????

...This is their best album by far, I would have to say its the best of my collection (this also includes follow the leader-korn, Korn-korn, Linkin Park-Hybrid Theory, Marilyn Manson-Smells Like Children well you get the general idea. The tracks on this album all fit well together, they are all different and don't sound the same like Limp Bizkit albums do! Jon Davis truly amazes you with the fact that bagpipes go with hardrock/metal songs! You would never imagine this to be possible but Jon makes it so. The compilation on this cd is amazing, each trake out does the last one even if you run it through 12 times never will the sounds of Korn be a bore. I would have to state that I feel 'make me bad' (one of their released) has an outstanding video, its in comparison to the song, and what i mean by this is that you can understand... Read review

Advantages: Has some genuinely cool songs; stuff like "Chi" is wicked!
Disadvantages: It is not as good as their previous album; has some mediocre moments; a bit gimmicky

...it seems rather than write a good riff, they've just used a bog standard one and played it fast with scat vocals over the top. There are 14 tracks on this album, and i'd say that most of thenm are pretty good - it's just songs like "lowrider" and "good god" interrupt the sequence of good songs, and some of the songs are fairly throwaway rather than amazing. I've spent a lot of time listening to this album, and while it doesn't deserve the praise i see being lavished on it, it is a good album and definitely worth a purchase if you are in to korn. However if you want a korn CD, i would reccommend getting "korn", "follow the leader" or even "issues" (as it is more accessible but not superior in my opinion) All in all this is an OK album from a great band; while it's still Korn, it hasn't progressed much, is not as groundbreaking as the debut...
