Free Music Notes for Follow the Leader
Free Music Review: Not my style, but more consistant than their previous outing
Hit: 4 Stars
Lets get this up front right away--Follow the Leader is my least favorite album by Korn besides See You On The Other Side, I dont like the hip-hop thing, and too me its hard too distuinguish one song from another. With that said, its a step-up from Life is Peachy. The funny thing is I can't decide if I like LIP more, even though I know its inconsistant, LIP has some truley spectacular songs on it. Now you may be wondering why I am giving this album 4e stars when im criticizing it; It is all a matter of taste, I dont like the feel the album has to it, even though I know that it is more origional and has more consistancy than Life is Peachy, so its a better album. I would still take Good God over Got the Life, however:). Follow the leader is what propelled Korn to the mainstream, and made them true rock stars on the steam of Freak on a Leash and Got the Life, so I guess I have a lot to thank for this album. Anyways, lets go to the track listing:
1 Its On!: 8/10 A good start to a good album, I will be honest and say I dont really understand what this song is about.
2 Freak on a Leash: 9/10 I do not think that this song is overrated, its about how Korn feels like a freak on a leash to the record companies, using their pain and screwed up feelings to make money. Besides that, its one hell of a catchy song.
3 Got the Life: 8/10 I would give this song a lower rating, but I know its a good song. Its about how Korn already has it made, and I think it has something to do with selling out. I usually skip this one, but im probably in the minority.
4 Dead Bodies Everywhere: 8/10 for some reason I kept skipping this song, until a little bit ago I started listening to it. Its a really great song, even though the whole problems with stepmom were covered fully in Kill You on Life is Peachy. Takes a little while to get going, but the chorous is great.
5 Children of the Korn: 5/10 A great name, but I hate the song, MORE RAP!! UGGGHHH! I would say first dud of the album, but it seems to be a popular song, so they must have done something right.
6 BBK: 7/10 Not really a memorable song, but not bad, the chorous is all right.
7 Pretty: 8/10 A really disturbing song, maybe their most disturbing since daddy, because this actually happened. I wont really go into detail because im sure its already been covered. Makes you think what is wrong with this world. About the lyrics, the verse is hard to hear or get into, but I dont think they made this song to be catchy.
8 All in the Family: 5/10 The first time I listened to it I laughed a little, but it really gets old, as I am sure it will for all of you.
9 Reclaim my Place: 8/10 I may be in the minority, but I like this song, I can't really pinpoint really what, maybe its the bridge. hmmm
10 Justin: 6/10 Other than All in the Family, the first real dud of the album, I can't get into this song at all. The beginning is cool though, F*ck all that BULLSH*T!!
11 Seed: 9/10 Like Dead Bodies Everywhere, it took me awhile to actually listen to this song, but once I did I couldn't stop listening to it. The chorous is great, as are the guitars, which are really origional here.
12 Cameltosis: 4/10 Third dud, I can't get into this song at all, and I have tried. (thats my rule, if you dont like a song, listen to it 4 or 5 times to see if it grows on you). Another hiphop origion song that I hate.
13 My Gift to You: 8/10 Well, Korn had to fall short on a closing song eventually, and I think this is it. He cries a little like in Daddy and Kill You, but for the first time it doesn't really feel genuine. Still not that bad a closer, but it left me feeling disapointed for the first time on a closer. But, like all Korns albums so far, they have a hidden track/tracks, Earache my Eye, which I guess I will give a 7/10, kind of funny, there is also a few minute interview with Davis, talking about cigarettes/weed? Kind of a weird way to end it, but you can never blame Korn for being unorigional:)
Out of all Korn's albums, I have listened to this one the least, except for SYOTOS, and it will probably stay that way. This may have broken ground for Korn and allowed them to delve into newer stuff, but it wasn't pleasant for me. One thing, no matter what the taste is, Munky and Head start with the same-sounding riff on almost every song!!!! That is mostly absent from their other albums, and is really annoying here, especially if you have the songs mixed up. Recommended
Free Music Review: THIS IS DUMB MUSIC 1.5 stars.
Hit: 2 Stars
Hey, this KORN is very overrated stuff. Just slow downtuned primitive chords with sound effects, basist and drummer are nothing special too.
Singer is not an artist he is a poser! Whiny and stuped vocals!
This s^^t may be catchy, but more in a Britney Spears way.
I listened it, like twice and third time I skip 80-90 percent of the CD. Music is horrible, slow and stuped!
And not creepy.
Morbid Angel is much more creepy=====))))) lol
I like Korn with beans and tomatoes!!??/
Free Music Review: Korn's Pinnacle
Hit: 5 Stars
This is definetely their top notch album. Life is Peachy's production wasn't that great as this. See You on the Other Side is next to this, but I don't they'll ever top what they did here. Perfect blend of metal, rock, funk, rap etc. They really experimented with this album and made a masterpiece. I love every song. Some are not that special like "It's On", "Pretty", and "Justin" but I still find them good to listen to.Free Music Review: yes, more of this would be great
Hit: 4 Stars
Well to be honest I would have given this album 5 stars if it wasn't for these two factors:
Too much rap
The first 12 tracks are blank
It's annoying skipping to the 13th track everytime. Anyway about KoRn, they are a great hard rock band. If you're reading this, you know that. But don't be a complete closed minded metal head who comes in here flaming them and saying they fail at death metal when they haven't really tried.
It's On! 9/10- I love this song, because of a few parts. It's kinda creepy too.
Freak on a Leash 9/10- gets more credit than it deserves, but it's still a very good song
Got the Life 10/10- I love this song, it's catchy and I don't see anything bad about it at all. It's not like the usual KoRn songs where they slip into a very quiet verse, and then a hard on chorus at all.
Dead Bodies Everywhere 9/10- I love the chorus, the verse could have been improved. It's creepy and i love it.
Children of the KoRn 8/10- I like a lot of this song, but I don't like rap so it lost some points.
BBK 6/10- lol
Pretty 6/10- lol
All in the Family 1/10- Yeah. Wow. Let's write a worse song.
Reclaim my Place 6/10- I don't like this song, doesn't stick.
Justin 10/10- Among my favorites, it's catchy and powerful with a nice beat to it.
Seed 7/10- I'm not sure about this one, it's kind of struggling along.
Cameltosis 9/10- Despite being rap, it's a fun kind. Catchy and smooth, and nice.
My Gift to You 4/10- I don't like this one, I can't pinpoint why.
Hidden track 8/10- Fun stuff.
Free Music Review: One of the best albums they've spun out.
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm a hardcore Korn fan, and follow the leader didn't damper my hopes that this would be a great cd, and in fact it was. I was confused at the fact that the tracks start at #13, but i hopped over that hurdle and listened to some great music. This album is a nice follow up to life is peachy. It's far from soft rock and the band creates some seriously wickec tunes, of which freak on a leash is a favorite of mine.
It was also interesting of them to incorporate other lyrical help in the form of Ice Cube and (certified wigger) Fred Durst. But with all due respect, he should stick with hs own band. Other great tracks include got the life, dead bodies everywhere, cameltosis, and it's on!. And if you pick it up, which i highly advise, you also get the bonus track "earache my eye", which is a little odd, but a great sound. Korn is know for hiding tracks, and for the most part, they've been pretty good. In the end, this, like ALL Korn albums, is a must buy. You'd be passing up classic hits if you didn't purchase. Seeing as it's an older album, it can be hard to fine, so i suggest you order it here.
