CAMELTOSIS
Just let's pretend this never happened ok? This crap is terrible in any way possible, from the bland music, the out of place rapping and the terrible lyrics. |
| 49 |  | Korn
Life Is Peachy
LOW RIDER
Cute war cover but just a less than a minute interlude, still better of cameltosis |
| 48 | | Korn

CHILDREN OF THE KORN
Another piece of the infamous rap triad from FTL. While ice cube tries hard to make this song good there are too many flaws, from the bad drum machine to the childish lyrics. |

ALL IN THE FAMILY
While i genuinely despise Durst this is the most acceptable from the rap triad, at least it doesn't take itself seriously. It's basically Durst and Davis roasting eachother in a freestyle-like piece. Fun and mindless. |
| 46 | | Korn
Life Is Peachy
LOST
Above average track from Life is Peachy, fine song but somehow incomplete |
| 45 |  | Korn
Korn
PREDICTABLE
The only track i often skip from the s/t. A mid tempo song that's just fine but compared to the rest of the album feels a bit like a filler |
| 44 | | Korn
Life Is Peachy
PORNO CREEP
Maybe the only instrumental by them, a funky porn score with the demented sound that marks this album |
| 43 |  | Korn
Issues
COUNTING
Issues has the most consisten tracklist of the 90s korn albums so while this one it's pretty good it's overshadowed by the rest of the album |
| 42 | | Korn
Life Is Peachy
ASS ITCH
Many fans claims this is the worst off LIP because of the lyrics, which obviously aren't so deep but the riffs are pretty tight so i really enjoy it anyway |
| 41 | | Korn
Korn
HELMET IN THE BUSH
the experimental one from the debut. Differently from Children of the korn the drum machine fits the atmosphere of this industrial cryptic track. |
| 40 | | Korn
Issues
NO WAY
As i said before issues is truly solid so while this is almost at the bottom of it still delivers very good moments |
| 39 | | Korn
Issues
INTERLUDES FROM ISSUES
Often overlooked, the interludes sets the atmosphere of the albums contributing to it's deranged vibes. My favorites are Dead and am i going insane? but all of them are pretty memorable |
| 38 | | Korn
Life Is Peachy
KUNT
Maybe the raunchiest piece of music ever made |
| 37 | | Korn

Issues
WAKE UP
Very good alternation between soft verses and heavy chorus |
| 35 | | Korn
Korn
FAKE
Great bridge |

The disturbing story of Davis witnessing a young girl's dead body violated and smashed when he worked at the morgue |
| 31 | | Korn
Life Is Peachy
NO PLACE TO HIDE
Some of Their best riffs, the guitar sound is terrific |
| 30 | | Korn
Life Is Peachy

A superb cover with Chino Moreno rapping the verses and J.d. spitting the chorus |

RECLAIM MY PLACE
I could describe this song as a "what the fuck?!" solo. Love the beginning riff |
| 28 | | Korn
Korn
DIVINE
David's best performance, a groovy and direct aggressive track. |
| 27 | | Korn
Issues
MAKE ME BAD
I find this one their most overrated from the 90s. Still great song. |
| 26 | | Korn
Korn
NEED TO
Change of tempos, buzzing guitars, great balance between grop0vy drums and slapped bass. And that pissed off bridge nonetheless |
| 25 | | Korn

MY GIFT TO YOU
Rammsteinesque riffs, slow paced and utterly gloomy ending |
| 24 | | Korn
Issues
HEY DADDY
A slowed down distorted funky track about schizophrenia |
| 23 | | Korn
Life Is Peachy
MR. ROGERS
A sort of Daddy part 2. Almost jazzy riffs, atypical structure and an usettling atmosphere defines this track about J.D.'s pedophile ex neighbor |
| 22 | | Korn
Issues
LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED
Love the building from the atmospheric start to the pissed off chorus |
| 21 | | Korn
Issues
BEG FOR ME
The less dark song of the album with a positive message, the ending is terrific |
| 20 | | Korn
Issues
TRASH
Classic Rap instrumentation with whispered verses and good vocal building |
| 19 | | Korn

SEED
The most experimental song from FTL that matches distorted noises, psychedelic elements and traditional Korn grooves |

DEAD BODIES EVERYWHERE
A creepy lullaby leads to one of their most memorable songs ever |
| 17 | | Korn
Korn
CLOWN
Sublime guitar sound in this slow paced anti-bullying song |
| 16 | | Korn
Issues
DIRTY
one of their most underrated and intense songs, the lyrics about an abuse victimsuicidal thoughts perfectly fits the gloomy atmosphere |
| 15 | | Korn

IT'S ON
The best way possible to start this album |
| 14 | | Korn
Life Is Peachy
GOOD GOD
Sure their heaviest track, JD tears out his vocal chords in the bridge |
| 13 | | Korn
Korn
FAGET
Another anti-bullying song, i think we can all agree that "you can suck my dick and fucking like it" it's the pure representation of what Korn were in the 90s. |

B.B.K.
The scat part is maybe my favorite in Korn's catalogue |
| 11 | | Korn
Life Is Peachy
TWIST/CHI
The album opens with a 50 seconds of Scat and distorted instrumentation leading to Chi, dedicated to Deftones ex bassist, perfectly depicting addiction and inner void. |
| 10 | | Korn
Life Is Peachy
KILL YOU
Another dark closer about JD's abusive step mother and the visions he had about her. The final part is pretty intense. |
| 9 | | Korn
Issues
SOMEBODY SOMEONE
While Head and Munky sure aren't great technical guitarists they created an iconic sound, this song displays some of the best production the band has ever made. Plus the changes of tempo works perfectly |
| 8 | | Korn
Korn
BALL TONGUE
their most pissed off track ever. Fieldy's slapped bass and David's groovy drumming always works great. Legend says that Head and Davis were on meth while recording the choruses, it could explain a pair of things. Does anyone else think that the main riffs soun similar to Morbid Angel's angel of disease? |
| 7 | | Korn
Life Is Peachy
A.D.I.D.A.S.
best product placement ever. Imagine to sponsor your product with a song about a creep that likes to masturbate everywhere. That bridge is dope too. |
| 6 | | Korn
Korn
SHOOTS AND LADDERS
While this song is basically nursery rhymes gone metal it has some of the best atmospheres in all Korn's catalogue. The bagpipes intro, the morbid verses and that terrific build up makes it one of my favorites ever |
| 5 | | Korn
Korn
BLIND
The one that started it all, the primus inspired intro leads to a brand new genre that defined the 90s |
| 4 | | Korn

FREAK ON A LEASH
their most popular song has almost everything the band is loved for: catchy chorused, the iconic douvle guitar sound, angsty lyrics, an awesome scat section and a terrific build up. |
| 3 | | Korn
Issues
FALLING AWAY FROM ME
Lyrically speaking issues is their most mature work along with the nothing.
This song treats the subject of domestic violence with remarkable lyrics and great atmosphere. |

GOT THE LIFE
The quintessential Nu metal song (the good side of nu metal).
Catchy, iconic and memorable |
| 1 | | Korn
Korn
DADDY
Sure Korn's most intense, visceral and disturbing work. From the A Cappella intro to the devastating ending, this song sends shivers down your spine. |
