Thankfully their good tracks have outlived their meme tracks.

>Falling Away not only got me into KoRn it got me into metal



What a great song to start with! For me it was Linkin Park's Papercut. But I also remember hearing Falling Away From Me for the first time and loving it ever since

All in the Family has aged like wine, you take that back.



I can't even imagine what songs people are talking about are filler on Issues.



Counting? Wake Up? Make me Bad? Trash? Beg for me? Dirty? Falling Away From Me? Hey Daddy? Somebody Someone? No Way?



Where, exactly, are the filler songs? I guess, maybe, Let's Get this Party Started is kind of filler? But it goes 'ard, so what's the problem?



Even the literal filler songs are less annoying on this album than, say Aenima. 4 U and Dead are really cool. If your complaint is the entirely skippable 1 minute "literally filler" tracks (that every band in 1999 did) like... who cares?

I usually never like it when albums go past 10-12 songs so it feels a little long. Party definitely doesn't need to exist. It's just pushing it length-wise. Might bump up to 3.5

Fair. I guess I don't see it that way. To me, it's hard to call "Am I going Crazy" a song. If anything, it's just an intro. 4 u and Dead *barely* make the cut to count as songs - even then they're really more like table setters or part of the "cinematography" of the album more than being real songs.



Out of the 10 actual songs on this album, "Let's Get This Party Started" and "Wake Up" are probably the worst tracks, but they still go hard as shit. So one track out of 10 is maybe a 1.5 out of 5 or something. Issues absolutely slaps.

Writing is probably more accomplished than their other albums but also more generic verse/chorus stuff. Prod job is great though. Definitely their crossover pop album (Untouchables sucks)

I never got why they didn't mess with the formula more. I guess there was The Path Of Totality

Well. Fine then, I'll rate it. Good point.

this album gets FIVE BOOMS

boom

how's that for a normal one, Walmart plebs? I shop at COSTCO!!!!!!!!!!!!!



To explain; this album is not a 5/5 as far as "musicality" goes; however, the rating system is 5 = classic. Issues is absolutely a classic. It takes everything KoRn did in their first 3 albums, cranks it up, refines it, makes it heavier, moodier (other than Daddy, basically) and slaps you with its medium-sized and flaccid shaft (alcoholically induced, of course, you're really turn on babe - I swear, I don't think about anyone else) and says "ayo. we out here, being heavy and having fun, can't even remember how our own song goes at Woodstock because we're completely cooked out of our brains, but we were on South Park so, like, whatever, idiot." Classic.

Sir this is a Korn thread. The SOAD thread is over yonder. I’ll gas up the chopper and take us over there if you’d like!
