Underrated Korn Songs

Hello, it's your resident Sputnik KD (Korn Defender), and on tonight's episode of how to get roasted for still liking the band you grew up listening to, I'm going to share some songs that I think are underrated and deserve a second take.
1Korn
Untouchables

Hollow Life - I just dig the vibe of this track. It begins with moody synthesizers and glockenspiels, the angelic backing vocals and funky drum beat in the chorus are very catchy, and the sound of toms during the post-chorus is really dense and meaty. Again, it's a vibe -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9VejccDPBw
2Korn
Follow the Leader

Justin - The song was originally written for a terminally-ill fan, a kid with intestinal cancer whose dying wish was to meet Korn. Instead of a fluffy ballad, the band pull no punches and deliver some of their heaviest (and catchiest) riffs. The way the band slows down for the breakdown is just *chef's kiss* -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-IgLECcS78 (recent live version)
3Korn
Untitled

I Will Protect You - An interesting song about how children how to carry on after their parents die. The track is very unique all around, sonically, but things take an even more interesting turn when Terry Bozzio does a mf drum solo at the end. It just puts the song on another level -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkWR13L8Erk
4Korn
The Nothing

Idiosyncrasy - Heaviest breakdown in the band's entire catalog. This song rips. Some people aren't a fan of the dance-y chorus but I like the change of pace. But seriously, the breakdown tho -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T2C-bS8qkI
5Korn
Issues

Let's Get This Party Started - I would replay this song a lot as a kid. I had possibly the coolest 4th grade teacher ever who would let me listen to my CD player during certain parts of the day. The only three CDs I ever brought to school were Korn self-titled, Follow the Leader, and Issues. And I'd play this song over and over just to hear that haunting riff during the verses -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDKptWMsWSU

Korn

Fake - Compared to songs like Blind, Shoots and Ladders, and F*get, this song isn't very special. But something about the atmospheric verses and the simple chorus/riff just hits all the right notes for me -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0UsrRaGMh4
7Korn
The Paradigm Shift

It's All Wrong - First off, this entire album is underrated. I remember first listening to it in 2013 and thinking it was nothing special despite Brian Head Welch returning to the band after 10 years. It just sounded so different, and I didn't want different. Now I appreciate it for revamping the band's sound, fusing the electronic sounds from The Path of Totality and their classic nu-metal groove to create something wholly unique for the band. This song showcases that new style and how effortless they make it seem -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_VY1EkOR2w
8Korn
The Serenity of Suffering

Please Come for Me - This song just rips. It's new era Korn that sounds a little bit old school. Nice and short runtime too. If you wanna know what the band sounds like these days in under 3 minutes, check out this track -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkAZmo0Qk78
9Korn
Take a Look in the Mirror

Deep Inside - Album is underrated as a whole, even for me. That classic, edible bass tone is what makes this track. This is simply just a catchy track with a lot of earworm melodies -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWp4Fm4XrB0
10Korn
Life Is Peachy

Mr. Rogers - Seems like Ross Robinson had a lot of fun producing this track. The two finger snaps before the verses is a neat touch. The drums sound so trashy and compliment the nasty bass tone perfectly. The lyrics and vocal performance make this song very eerie and sometimes difficult to listen to -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmfGkYKHQ3E
11Korn
The Path of Totality

Way Too Far (feat. 12 Planet & Finch) - A couple commentors brought up this album. To this day, I'm not a huge fan of TPtT but I respect its place in the discography. "Get (the fuck) Up!" and "Narcissistic Cannibal" are some choice cuts, but "Way Too Far" is my favorite despite it sounding borderline Imagine Dragons -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN3T9SY_wNo
