I have all four Korn album's, and I think that in many ways this is their best. Probably the heaviest album, it all kicks off with the low slung, grinding riff of 'Blind'. From here on classic songs just pile up. Jonathan davis deals with issues many artists would shy from, and his lyrics are shockingly powerful without being perverse or overly controversial. 'Clown' fires up with its powerful line 'Throw your hate at me with all your might, hit me cos I'm strange hit me, you tell me I'm a pussy and your harder than me' evidently linked with Jon's childhood, a theme which runs throughout the album. He deals with the way he didn't fit in at school, and 'Faget', perhaps the heaviest and best song on the album, is all about how he was called gay at school just because he looked and dressed differently.

Perhaps the most striking thing about the album, and what makes it so good is the sheer emotion and anger that the band and, in particulary Davis puts into the songs. As he delivers his own lyrics he does so with so much power you really feel that he means what he is saying. You will not get this anger from any other band. Fred Durst and Limp Bizkit can sing about breaking stuff for as long as they want, but they will never match this sheer genius.

The album is not over-produced, and the rough edges add to the pain and sufferance that you see in the lyrics.

As the album draws to a close, the final track 'Daddy' deals with a tricky issue. Davis was abused as a child and though this was not by his parents, they refused to believe him when he told them. All the pent up agression and anger finally come to a head, and the album fades away to the tune of Jonathan sobbing.

He manages to make the listener experience the same sort of emotion and pain that he went through, something which can be very hard to do, yet Korn do it superbly.

Though the other Korn albums are superb in their own individual way, you will not find a more powerful metal album than this.
