After KoRn's first album their second album would have to be groundbreaking to beat it, well it turns out that it hasn't beaten it but has come close in some ways. This album includes the highly popular A.D.I.D.A.S and Kill You. They released it in the year 1996.

1.Twist
A lot of heavy guitars, bass, drums and skat. As with Ball Tongue and numerous other songs Jonathan has said there are no lyrics. In other words the words may change a little whenever ... ...words which dont make sense but i think its cool.
2.Chi
Chi is about alot of alcohol and drug abuse. They named it after Chi Cheng from deftones. A nice explosive song which follows Twist perfectly.
3.Lost
According to Jon the song meaning is- "It's the sterotypical thing about your best friend meeting a chick, and then you're nothing." A cool song with decent guitar riffs and a nice rough type of song.
4.Swallow
This song is about paranoia,drug ...

Korn Is PEACHY Review ofLife Is Peachy [ECD] - Kornby
kornkid2001
Advantages: Korn , Early Stuff, ADIDAS Disadvantages: A few unmemorable tracks
...released this great masterpiece. ? Life is peachy ? is an excellent album and is a must with all Korn Fans.With this album, Korn have delved deeper into the metal market, with this album there riffs and chords are more metaller than ever, even some influences from the underground black metal scene. The songwriting has improved a lot, and there are a bigger range for metal fans all out there. The riffs and chords might not be hard hitting, but the ... ...1. Twist - - - - - - - A very strange song none to say the least. Weird lyrics, well not really lyrics but a load of old shouting and mumbling. A funky but short song, a favourite in all korns minds as they always open their live shows with this one. Original piece of work. There are 2 versions, one without instruments and one with, the instrumental one has lots of whirring guitaring noises and heavy drumbeats, the un-instrumental gives fully effect ...

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
After korn's debut album, nothing could really have improved.. it was an amazing, they were going to have to produce something really special to beat it.
Did they produce something special... not exactly
What they came up with instead is "Life Is peachy" opening with the track "Twist" (mentioned at the start of clown on the first album!!).
The scat talking is one of korn's trademarks and is very good, but you get the feeling on this album (with ... ...a gimmick than in the first. I would say although this album is perhaps angrier, more harsh than the first, it lacks the sludgy, depressing sound of the first, and some of the tracks are throwaways - a big minus in my point as one of the best elements of the first album was that it was perfect and had no tracks you had to wind forward. For example in "lowrider" Korn cover a (for lack of knowledge of the real name what is commonly known as) "that ...

KoRn Review ofLife Is Peachy [ECD] - Kornby
kwhyte
Advantages: GrEaT Disadvantages: The swearing
Being the typical Satan worshipping teenager, I bought this album after first hearing KoRn in the single Falling Away From Me, while I was trying to escape from the endless supply of cheesy pop songs circulating at the time, and immediately fell in love with it. However, my family weren't as quick to understand my like for it, thus I was banished to my room to listen to it. Understandably though, as the constant swearing and loud beats would drive ... ...of the first rock albums I bought, and even though my collection has drastically increased, is still one of my favourites. Since I got it my dad has actually said he liked it, which proves that it's not only for us rebellious teenagers.
Lots of people think that KoRn are just a bunch of people screaming round a microphone whilst randomly hitting a few drums, but then they've not heard, or actually listened to any of the songs of lyrics. Their songs ...

Advantages: Bizarre use of Scat, A.D.I.D.A.S and a few other great tracks Disadvantages: Most of the tracks are 'mood' songs
...Korn decided to do with Life Is Peachy and it sets the mood of the whole album. With the exception of Porno Creep the entire album is about noise. Shouting, screeching, growling – you name it it’s on this album. At times it’s almost atonal and you really have to be in a certain mood to like this album. Having said that, there are a few tracks that I can always listen to. Good God, A.D.I.D.A.S, No Place to Hide, Wicked and Low Rider. But some tracks, ...
