Korn were formed in 1990, this album was released in 1994. the band consists of 5 members, Johnathan Davis, Head, Munky, Fieldy And David. The Bakersfield band were the ones that helped Limp Bizkit to their fame in 1997. This is actually Korns 2nd second album as they released one way back in 1990, but tracks are very rare to find and this has never been released.
A short overview of the band there, this album is a Korn classic. Many people like this album the best because they say its Korn at their best, but this is a good album but i like " Follow The Leader ", Still this is a classic album. Ross Robinsons produces (Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, Soulfly) this album and this rose korn to mainstream rock. This is a classic Nu-Metal Album.
Track Listing - - - - - - - - - - -
1. Blind - - - - - - - - One Of Korns all time best songs. The intro for this song is excellent, Firstly the clatter of symbols gently, then the guitars come in then You hear " Are You Ready ??!! " from Johnathan! The song then explodes into a frenzy. His dark verses and heavy choruses make this a great song. The bass is the best bass korn have ever done as its catchy and easy to perform. The outro is superb to as its just bass and guitars using foot pedal effects to make a schreeching noise. Korn released
this song from this album and this done very well indeed although the video is low budget. This song is about Johnathans use of drugs and how he wants to end using them but he is unable to, so he uses more drugs to comfort himself.
2. Ball Tongue - - - - - - - - - - - - A weird, but good song. The drums thump in and then the verses are slow with weird riffs, then the choruses are the ones that explode out, he shouts somthing that is very hard to work out what it means. You can make out words but not much. A good song, this wasnt released but is played at every live show. The song is about some guy that made t shirts for them and he ended up backstabbing them because he wasnt important to the band, he was obsessed with Johnathan and Korn.
3. Need To - - - - - - - - - - Need to is a very good song which Staind covered at a recent tour. Its a heavy song with melodic verses and heavy choruses, mainly Johnathan screaming, the ending ends with a lot of screaming. This song has heavy language so it must be advised that its not suitable for young kids. The song is about whenever he gets close to a girl he really loves she ends up fucking him over, so in future relationships he doesnt want to get close because hes paranoid that she might do the same.
4. Clown - - - - - - - - Clown focuses on high school life that johnathan went through. Its a heavy but melodic song, The end is johnathan screaming somthing about just a fucking little CLOWN! somthing like that,a good song but very dark in a heavy way. The song is about johnathan being different to others and that he wanted to show himself for who he really is. Korn released this song off the album also.
5. Divine - - - - - - - - Divine is a okay song, heavy in parts. Not very melodic just heavy, i like what the song means. It means that johnathan wanted some girl that didnt want him, so when she found out that she wanted him he lost intrest so it was his turn to have some fun (happened to me a lot!!). Shows that he cant be picked up and down a lot.
6. Faget - - - - - - - LOL a very good song from this album, drums at the start set the pace along with rythm guitar. During the verses head plays weird riffs and the bass is good too. When it gets to the bridge, things start getting weird. Johnathan starts screaming about faggots, then another bridge appears which is the best part of the song and it goes total crazy. I advise any korn fan to listen to this, they also released this song. Very low budget video. The song is about when Johnathan used to hang around gay bars with his friends, so now he has to joke about it to make himself feel okay.
7. Shoots And Ladders - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The best korn track on the album in my view. The song starts with Johnathan playing his bagpipes, then he drums and other stuff come in. His verses are made from nursery ryhmes, the verses and chorus is slow and catchy, then from the bridge on it gets very heavy. The outro is also very heavy, i love the whole design of the song, they released this also. The song is about kids singing nursery ryhmes and not knowing what they mean, Nursery ryhmes have meaning behind them and most of the time they are dark.
8. Predictable - - - - - - - - - - - - A good song, Its not heavy much. Its more melodic. The best part is where the bass and the guitars go in sync and play together, its truly world class. I love it. The song is about every relationship that John goes into, he always get hurt, so its predictable whats going to happen.
9. Fake - - - - - - - Good heavy song, well thought out lyrics and excellent bass. They should of released this but releasing more than 4 songs off a album is a bit to much, i would reckon this would be next though. The song is about people changing themselves to be in with the mainstream crowd, and not being yourself. This is known as a fake, hence the title.
10. Lies - - - - - - - I like this song a lot, very melodic but heavy at the same time. The chorus is catchy, truly a sing a long song. Not to make this sound poppy :). Very good lyrics and thought out song, the ending the best with screaming. The song is similiar to clown and fake about people who are scared to step out the line and they will be classed as different.
11. Helmet In The Bush - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Ive listened to the song once and never listened to it again. I dont like it very much, its boring and has nothing to it. A true weakness in this classic album. I dont know what the song means as ive not heard it much to make a gud judgement.
12. Daddy - - - - - - - - Daddy is all about John whinging about his mother and father, there are no instruments and its just very eerie and gothic like. The song is pretty long and he does get sensitive during it, the song is about when he was abused when he was younger and he went to his parents but they never done nothing about it because they thought he was joking around.
Conclusion - - - - - - - - - This album is a classic nu-metal album and every korn album should have it, i love it! the only weakness is helmet in the bush which i dont like one bit, i dont know bout the rest of you though. The artwork on the cover is weird, a picture of a small child sitting on a swing on the front and then on the back the child has gone but there is footprints leading away! oooo! lol :)
Look out for my Korn - Life Is Peachy op, coming soon!!

Advantages: KoRn are a great band with good lyrics and musical talent. Disadvantages: a couple of the songs sound similar but theres no harm in that as they are still good.

Review of Korn - 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
