Issues - Korn

...the album they released " Issues " in November of 1999. To promote this album they done a gig in the New York Apollo the night before the release of the album. They played every track on the album to give the fans a taster of the album. Just the fact of that korn were bringing out a new album and that they are my best band made me buy this album, i got this on import from HMV and it cost me a straggering 21 pounds. This isnt korns best album but ...
...- - - - - - 1. Dead - - - - - A mellow song which last just over a minute, its a song which features low vocals and johnathan davis bagpipes. A nice song which could be counted as a love song although their are not much lyrics in it. Not best track on the album but still a good intro to the album itself. The song is about johnathan wanting to be happy and when he does become happy somthing takes the happiness away from him. 2. Falling Away From ...

Review of Issues - Korn

After having a great result with Follow The Leader and various singles such as Freak On A Leash reaching high in the charts KoRn decided to release this album in November 99. It seems that in this album KoRn have thought about this album alot more than their past albums because if you compare songs such as Beg For Me and Falling Away From Me to Dirty and 4U you will notice that they have a totally different tempo, when in past albums various songs ...
...KoRn's vocalist's (Jonathan Davis) problems and his pain and suffereing but it seems that he has learnt to control his anger and lets it out when he feels the time is right. Also Korn held a competition with MTV for people to design a front cover, which also shows that they care for their fans. Track Listing: 1.Dead An eerie intro which sets the mood for the album which see Jon playing the bagpipes and with little vocals,it is also played for ...

Review of Issues - Korn

Korn really hasn't had a good album since “Life is peachy” and well “Issues” doesn’t live up to it either. Though a lot better than their last attempt it still isn’t by any means a good rock album. Ever since they became a regular at MTV their music has gotten softer and thus not good. It’s a shame how MTV has soften these bands. It’s not the bands fault that they are singled out nor is it MTVs fault ...
...fell of all those fans are screaming at the songs you know aren't your best work. So you must produce more of them to keep your new fans happy but losing your old ones. Its called revolution lose the good fans for more of the new ones. So that’s when you become “soft”. Maybe the best way to avoid this fate is just not to let your video on MTV. It worked for Pantera, I haven’t seen a video on MTV yet and I still consider them ...

Review of Issues - Korn

In a similar move to Coal Chamber, Korn return with album that has melodies (Yes that does say melodies) on it and the results are good, beating Coal Chamber’s Chamber Music. Without a doubt it’s Korn’s best album to date, with tracks like Falling Away From Me, Trash, Somebody Someone and Dirty it leaves Korn’s other releases behind. The Hip Hop element that was present on their previous release, Follow The Leader has gone and has been replaced by ...
...I liked the Hip Hop thing as well, but I this is better. There are a few things about the album I don’t like. Wake Up is a good verse spoiled by the rest of the song and the white noise that takes the places of the secret track on the normal version of the album is annoying. If you own no Korn albums, start here. ...

Review of Issues - Korn

It seems as though in this fourth album the rage that has been burning away inside Korn has started turning, as it always does, into dispair. The songs have shifted from fast and powerful, wit strong and riotous lyrics, to a more thoughtful and deep level. There is less of the amp wrecking guitars and violent screaming, and more melodic, almost relaxing guitar riffs, with quiet eerie words painting a picture of anger, sorrow, self-loathing, and ...
...parts where the Korn’s raw power boils to the surface, Make Me Bad has to be one of my favourite songs of all time, it has the strong and aggressive guitars playing to an almost beautiful tune, and it still has the "make you want to dance like an angry pogo-stick" effect. For fans of super-moshathonery (mega-heavy-music) this might not have the same appeal as Korn’s previous outings, this is almost a more mature Korn, older and wiser… they have ...

Review of Issues - Korn

The most recent of KoRn's albums, not my personal favourite but still a damn good album. What inspired me to buy it was their great sucessfullness with their previous albums such as Life is Peachy and Follow the Leader. The cover is also pretty grabbing- there's a few different ones as they got their fans to draw them and used 3/4 of them. The one I bought was an orange background, a pale falling apart toy bear. It does hit you and at least make ...
...CD, each a couple of minutes long and of the usual high KoRn quality. My favourite is one that was released as a single, Falling away from Me. Although the lyrics to each song are totally individual, if you just listen to the CD from start to end then you'll probably not notice the track changing as they all seem to have the same sort of beat. The CD is avaliable from most retailers such as Our Price (approx. £15) or MVC (approx £12). If you go to ...

Review of Issues - Korn

Being a massive Korn Fan, I just had to get their latest album on the day of release in the UK, So I did, I got home and put it in my stereo and what followed was absolutely brilliant, It really was as the sticker on the cover said "Their Deepest Darkest Offering yet!" The tracks vary from the almost mellow "Make Me bad" to the heaviest and loudest and better track like "Let's get this party started" and "Falling away from Me" Korn Have got a lot ...
...melody to their music, they simply are a mindblowing band who set examples to so many other bands that are trying to follow in their footsteps. I can't think of one bad thing to say about this Album apart from the fact that it finishes! If you like Korn or Extremely Heavy metal then this really is the album for you. ...

...gayness of the word, that issues does! The lyrics are also very intense if you will, though only if you listen to them, some people just put on the cd and mosh but if you really listen to the lyrics then you'll be sure to like them even more! This is a must buy or atleast listen to for all Korn fans, first time listeners or really anyone thats into the hardrock/metal scene. I would also like to state that The cover for this is amazing, and I LOVE ...

Review of Issues - Korn

The first thing to remember is that, as good as the first album is, they couldn't bring out something the same as that, so this has got to be different. However, 'Issues' shows considerable progression from the beatifully frayed edges of their blinding debut. Not as heavy, this flirts with melody, and eerieness before exploding. openers, 'Dead' and 'Falling Away From Me' demonstrate this perfectly. Jon Davis and co, lure you gently into a false sense ...
...the powerful chorus. While 'Korn' was a brutal assault on body and mind, and 'Follow the leader' followed a hip-hop flavour in places, 'Issues' makes a good blend of songs, a little like a Korn compilation, but of brand new songs. There is, as always energy and emotion and the typical Korn lyrical themes. Stand out tracks on the album are: 'Falling Away From Me', Beg For Me', 'Wake Up', 'Somebody Someone', and 'Dirty'. I think 'Dirty' is the best ...

Review of Issues - Korn

Personally, I am new to metal music, but one of the first bands that I was introduced to was Korn. Anyone that hasn't heard Korn will think that all it is is shouting, and has no tune. However, when you actually listen to songs off their "Issues" album then you find their songs are brilliant, have a good tune, and clever lyrics. Some people hate their songs, and that is their opinion, but others just say that Korn are crap from what people have told ...

Review of Issues - Korn

Not so long ago I used to be a complete trendy. I had it all, dance music, yellow shirt, white trousers, the lot. Then I came to uni and was introduced to things other than shite. Since then I've bought EVERY KoRn album there is and this is certainly one of the best. I suppose this isn't so much a review of the cd, more the band, but hey that's ok because all of their stuff is bloody brilliant. If you haven't experienced KoRn then you're missing ...

issues, issues, issues. what a brilliant album. korn at their most finest, with such brill songs on this album such as falling away from me, and the brilliantly entitled "trash". i brought this album just to get any oled korn album, and now ive realised, after listening to the other three albums, that this a supreme album by a supreme artist. Every album they make is well worth getting. some people may find this album very offensive, as it does rely ...

Review of Issues - Korn

...there can be little more to question. Yes, they touch sensitive issues like rape, but they do it in a meaningful way. This band has revolutionised rock, not only making everyone else work harder, but bringing bagpipes into the family of rock instruments and making shell suits essential rock wear. ...
