Review:
The 4th album added to the collection by Korn, a band that many say were the first ever nu-metal band. This album suprised and impressed many fans, for the quality and maturity this album compared to their previous 3. A song like Make Me Bad would have been unthinkable for Korn when they started out about 6 years ago.
Good drumming, Neat guitar parts, better sounding bass than what they previously had (not so clicky ;) ) , and good vocals that match korns music are a strong point for this album. Even if your not a korn fan, you can't help but like a few of these songs. 3 Of my favorites are Make me bad, No way, and Trash. In their last 2 albums they featured rap artists. There is no rap in this album.
Dead - (1:12) - A nice short intro to the cd song. Jonathan Davis plays the bagpipes in this song. 3/5
Falling Away From Me - (4:30) - One of their Hit songs. Cool sounding guitar parts. 4/5
Trash - (3:27) - One of my favorite songs from this album. 5/5
4 U - (1:42) - A short track filler song, It sounds pretty cool. 5/5
Beg For Me - (3:53) - A cool song, deffinatly one of the top songs from this album. 5/5
Make Me Bad - (3:55) - Another one of their hits. At the end of the music video one of the scienctists is holding a jar, you can easily see that its upright. When it changes to the next scene, the jar is clearly upside down! 5/5
Its Gonna Go Away - (1:30) - A wierd short filler track 3/5
Wake Up - (4:08) - "Wake the f
uck up!" its an alright song. When your parents try to wake you up in the morning, put on this song ;)
Am I Going Crazy - (:58) - Another filler track 3/5
Hey Daddy - (3:44) -Another song about his dad... 3/5
Somebody, Someone - (3:47) - Another hit song. One of the best on the album. 5/5
No Way - (4:08) - An awesome song. One of the top 3 on this album 5/5
Lets Get This Party Started - (3:41) - Awesome song 5/5
Wish You Could Be Me - (1:07) - Wierd filler track 3/5
Counting - (3:38) - cool acustic slideish sounding song 5/5
Dirty - (7:50) - Good ending to the album. Its annoying at the end when the song ends because it is just static for a few mins. Besides the static its a good song. 4/5
In conclusion, For Korn this album was a great comeback from "Follow the Leader". It wasen't so soft and cheesy as "follow the leader" was. It was more like their original sound, but more mature.
Overall, For Nu-Metal, I would give this album a 3.5 / 5
