Free Music Notes for Follow the Leader
Free Music Review: great album, period
Hit: 5 Stars
This isn't a great nu metal, or whatever else you want to call it, album. It's just a great album. The most common complaints are that it's commercial (true), popular (true), and tired (I'll say debatable). There's nothing wrong with an album doing well; that is, just because the cheerleaders started listening to KoRn doesn't mean the album sucks. In fact, the theme of this album touches on how KoRn paved the way, which is also somewhat debatable. However, they did break ground in making people sit up and notice the genre.
What about the music? Well, every song on this album has great beats, innovative sound, and well-delivered lyrics. It's true that the lyrics don't seem quite as profound to me now as they did when I was 14, but not everything has to be poetry. Sometimes you want to listen to well-produced music with relatable - although dark - lyrics that you can dance, scream, and/or party to.
Follow the Leader Poster
Love 'em or despise 'em, you've got to give Korn props for kick-starting a new metal movement that blends aggressive hip-hop rhythms with roaring hate-metal riffs. In the wake of the band's 1994 debut, many like-minded groups cropped up, including Deftones, Snot, and Limp Bizkit. But with the release of Korn's disappointing 1996 sophomore effort, Life Is Peachy, the imitators seemed likely to usurp the innovators. Maybe that's why Follow the Leader is so crafty and inspired. Instead of continuing on cruise control, Korn have diversified their formula, experimenting with mood and dynamics while intensifying their melody and noise thresholds. "Got the Life" blends a seductive disco beat and vocals reminiscent of "Epic"-era Faith No More with oppressive guitar chimes and squawks. "Children of the Korn" features a propulsive rap beat, throbbing bass lines, and angry guest vocals by Ice Cube. But just when Korn's groovin' psychedelic fury starts to make listeners see red, the band lashes out with "All in the Family," a hilarious rap-metal diss-fest duet with Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst, that proves Korn are much more than the sum of their rage. --Jon WiederhornFirst 12 tracks are blank...music begins on track 13.
