Follow The Leader - Korn

Taking the name of this from the second album from Eric B. & Rakim, the Nu-Metal band KoRn came with their third album in 1998. With it using this title, you can tell that the Hip Hop side of their material is to become a lot more prominent in this record. 1-12 *silence* 13. “It’s On” After twelve track, all contacting five seconds worth of silence, you come to a track which has them getting straight into some deep Metal work, it has them go for ...
...show some originality through the use of some strange sounds, but aside from this, it wasn’t saying a lot in particular. **Two Stars** 14. “Freak On A Leash” Moving on from what I would consider to be a pretty weak tune, you have them distance themselves from this by going for one which has David Silveria go for some pretty funky drumming to lead the rest of the group in for some hardcore stuff. It seems to be going this way at so many point as they ...

Review of Follow The Leader - Korn

This is the album which made KoRn so popular and which made alot of so called 'die-hard' fans call KoRn sell-outs which i totally disagree with. The albums before this were the self-titled and life is peachy.This album boasts the highly popular Freak On A Leash and Got The Life. Track Listing:(note:the tracks start from number 13) 13.It's On One of my favourite tracks on the album, This song is about partying and they usually play it as their ...
...A great song 14.Freak On A Leash This is the song which basically sells the album as some people only buy it for this song. The video is awesome which features a bullet destroying everything in its path. It has been nominated for several awards and has even won a couple i think. It's about how much the music industry expects everything from you. A hyped up song but is still great to listen to. 15.Got The Life Another popular song which is talking ...

Review of Follow The Leader - Korn

Well this is KoRn's third LP, and clearly they've changed their style again, after what I thought was a poor second album in "Life Is Peachy". Maybe my title is a little inacurate as KoRn's first album was nothing short of brilliant but I consider this to be their best. Hard to define KoRn into a style as music, as they are very different from most bands. The innovative part of KoRn comes out in the bassist, Fieldy as far as I'm concerned. Listen ...
...a bass-guitar. Not to be a conventional bassist, Fieldy describes himself as a drummer on bass. That's about as well as it can be described, but be assured that the bass lines are important to KoRn's sound. Jonathan Davis is on top form in this album, I can't understand how people can assume all Jon does is shoutand screaming. Aside from his shouting being minimal, Jon has an excellent voice. An interesting album considering the first track with ...

Review of Follow The Leader - Korn

...first track korn released off follow the leader. 15. Got The Life - - - - - - - - Korn released this track secondly and not suprisingly this was also another big hit. The video contains limp bizkit frontman fred durst in the video. The songs drumming is the best part and johnathan davis vocals make this a great song. This is a song you can sing along to in the car. 16. Dead Bodies Everywhere - - - - - - - - - - - - - - This may sound like a nursery ...
...is far from it. The bell noises at the beginning sound almost kiddish like but then the lyrical content is far from it. Johnathan shouting bout dead bodies. The bass and the bells at the end make a super outro. 17. Children Of The Korn - - - - - - - - - - - - - Ice Cube features in this song. This is more a rap-rock sorta thing with johns heavy vocals and ice cubes rapping. Its all about kids who listen to rock music i think, he talks bout after ...

Review of Follow The Leader - Korn

'Follow The Leader' was the first CD that I ever bought, and it is one of the best CDs that I own. I was a bit miffed when I first put it into my CD-player because at first I didn't know that the first 12 tracks are blank so I thought I had been given a faulty CD. Then I looked at the back of the case and saw that the first track was in fact number 13. After I had cleared this up I was able to listen to the Nu-Metal masterpiece that is 'Follow The ...
...13:It's On!(4:28)Opening track, starts with some strange wherring sound before the drums come in. Then comes the thumping bass that shakes my whole house!(Maybe I should turn it down incase my parents make me pay for repairs.) Track 14:Freak On A Leash(4:15)Hell knows how they make guitars sound like this! Bass isn't quite so heavy on this one. Only track I can remeber all the words to. Track 15:Got The Life(3:45)One of the best tracks on the album. ...

Review of Follow The Leader - Korn

...newest album at the time, Follow the Leader, deserved greater attention than it was paid, as it is on of the best rock/metal albums of this era. I think it is one of very few albums that grabs you kicking and screaming right from the start and never lets you go. Korn have assembled an almost flawless lineup of hard hitting rage fests, deep and thoughtful numbers, and some pure stonking tracks. The number of sheer quality songs is what makes this ...
...pieces that flaw the album as a whole. Almost every song has a point in it that will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, and that is my favourite measure of how good the music is, meaning this album is unforgettable. Korn is quite different from other new rock music around. It is just as empowered with anger, yet the vocals often have a kind of sweet innocence to them. Not what you’d expect from heavy rock. Their frontman often uses ...

Review of Follow The Leader - Korn

...probably best on the album. Follow the Leader is also the album where Korn gain a sense of humour (Though it’s left them on Issues). All In the Family is a hilarious battle between Limp Bizkit and Korn as to whose the best band and the secret track, Earache my Eye is a bizarre song about a cross dressing football playing entrepreneur. Overall this is one of Korn’s weaker album, both their self titled debut and most recent release, Issues are superior ...

Review of Follow The Leader - Korn

Korn are an excellent phenomenon, I wear a pullover bearing the cover artwork of their 'follow the leader' album as I write. They started quite a few years ago with the self named album, it was an great album with some excellent songs, next was 'Life is peachy' a mediocre album that couldn't live up to 'follow the leader', the most excellent album in rock and metal for quite some time after it's release. The superb Slipknot have KORN as their idols, ...

Review of Follow The Leader - Korn

For a debut album, this isn't bad. Its not there best album, but yet they still have time to mature. Jonathan Davis's vocals are pretty good and his bagpipe playing really suits there style of playing. The album features plenty of songs of hate and destruction from being force-fed nursery rhymes as a kid to being bullied by his own father, Jonathan Davis really knows how to get his message across. If you're already a korn fan, then you may enjoy ...

Review of Follow The Leader - Korn

Ok, korns album "Follow The Leader", which came out in '97, is a definate album for metal fans. It includes the hit track "Freak On A Leash" which is a great song in itself, with a hit video as well, I might add. It also has a few other cool songs in it "It's On!" and "All in the Family"(with Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit) are a couple of the better ones. Remember, folks, this is the band that started 'the bizkit'! Anyway, I think you can pick this ...
...I got it for £7.99) so I would recommend it to nu metal, Korn, Limp Bizkit etc. fans. It ain't slipknot-hard but it is still quite hardcore. The cover an inlay designs are very cool, following the graphics from the video of "Freak on a Leash" with the little kids playing 'follow the leader' - Geddit? Oh yeah, and if you don't figure it out! - Don't worry the first 13 tracks are supposed to be empty! lol. ...

Review of Follow The Leader - Korn

Ok, this is a deeply biased review because I think "Got The Life" is one of the greatest tracks recorded by Korn. However, the whole album is filled with gems, with the possible exception of Cameltosis. From 13 blank tracks, building anticipation until the aptly titled "It's on." Overall, the album is somewhat experimental, traditional heavy metal influences are funked up, with the addition of more hip-hop and disco elements. From simplistic name-calling ...

Review of Follow The Leader - Korn

Pros: Great sound and great lyrics. Cons: Lyrics are not very good for younger listeners. This is my second most favorite korn cd. I would recomend it as number one but since i have got the newest korn cd i would change this one to second. This cd is filled with alot of great music that is unlike all other's. My friends all like it, i like it and so far i have yet to find somebody that doesn't like it for reason's other than, "if it isn't rap, ...
...totally be forced to disagree on. I dislike rap. This cd is very unique so it has really nothing to compare it to. The only thing i could compare it to would be the other KORN cd's. And let me tell you, it isn't just more of the same old stuff, it is better and if you liked the first stuff this is even better! ...
