Free Music Notes for Korn - Greatest Hits, Vol. 1
Free Music Review: It's just not as fresh anymore...
Hit: 3 Stars
Korn was one of the biggest Metal bands through the 90s. They dominated all other Metal bands with their music. Although it was similar to normal Metal, it featured a certain sound to it that captivated their fans.
This album just doesn't hold up though. The songs get old really fast. Any Korn fan has already heard all these songs before and it's just not something you want to listen to over and over again. The addition of two new tracks, "Brick in the Wall" and "Word Up", are just average remakes of older songs. I will say that one thing that I enjoyed was the fact that the CD included a DVD with their free show from CBGBs was really fun to watch. Overall though I can't say that this was worth the purchase.
Free Music Review: What the F uHit: 1 Stars
I ordered this and expected some good corn on the cod, but instead i got some cord on cob that tasted like some croopy generic rap metal. I was expecting some good corn, to eat with my chicken. INstead i cut my gums eating the corn amazon advertise.
All corn seekers beware, this isnt not the corn you aint not lookin for!
Buy corn at the market not the internet because they wills rip you off of yurs hard earner monies from plowing the fields.
Do not buy this corn if you want corn!
Free Music Review: Excellent Compilation of Korn's Greatest Songs
Hit: 4 Stars
This is an excellent compilation of Korn's greatest songs (pre Untitled or See You on The Other Side). The sound quality of this album was good, but not stellar, but for new recordings it was great. Some of my favorite songs from this album were: Got the Life, Falling Away From Me, Freak on a Leash, A.D.I.D.A.S and Word Up. Korn is an excellent band, and I encourage anyone who is into nu-metal to go check them out.Free Music Review: Not their greatest
Hit: 3 Stars
First of all, I'm a fan of the Korn songs that get your head bobbing. I haven't really liked their slower/experimental material, nor their poppy/catchy songs.
When I saw that they had a Greatest Hits Album, I thought this would be a good purchase for an old school fan. I admit that I've been out of touch with their newer stuff, so when I played it for the first time - I did not recognize 80% of the songs!
And by newer, I mean since 2002. Korn has been around since 1994! If you do the math - why would most of the album be from 2 years of work, out of the 10?
I began thinking that the title was a joke - a clever way to package new songs. But, then came a few of their actual hits, and I thought to myself, "my God! This really is their greatest hits album."
In my opinion, Korn's greatest hits should not have included any covers - if they deserve a greatest hits album (and they do) they should be able to fill it with their own material. Secondly, it should have started off with some bagpipe!
The only reason Korn has survived until now is because they have continued touring, and their name is a multi-million dollar brand now.
"Vol.1" is in the title as if to comfort fans that Korn is not going anywhere. This is because greatest hit albums usually don't come out until a band is over and done with, or on the verge of fading out.
I'll stick to their older albums, and I hope Vol.2 has some of their actual hits on it.
Like all reviews, take this with a handful of salt.

Hit: 5 Stars
Like many, I knew Korn from their few radio singles alone, such as "Freak on a leash", "Blind", "Right now", "Did my time", and a handful of others. As my taste in music grew, I knew my music collection wouldn't be complete without these songs that I had grown up with and loved, as well as few other hits. Little did I know where this Album would take me.
As I got the CD and gave it a go, my taste for Korn grew with each listen. And upon further examination, the "Greatest hits", was missing some of their other standout songs, one being "Thoughtless" off of their "Untouchables" CD. So on and on, the "hits" weren't feeding my need, so I ended up purchasing every other studio album from Korn. Do I regret purchasing this album? Not at all. It's got two other songs previously unreleased. Plus, I find it a great CD to listen to when I have a desire to listen to a few of Korn's famous singles.
All in all, anyone who has had a small taste of Korn and wants their hits, should purchase this album. Even though some their best pieces of work are not found here, it's still a great buy. But be warned, this album gives you a great taste of Korn, but will leave you hanging and you'll want more. You just may end up doind what I did and purchase everything else from them. But for those who are more interested in Korn's new sound, you may just give this a try and see what life was like back when we had Brian "Head" Welch around. You may just like the old as well as the new, just like me.
So, whether you like Korn or not, you just can't ignore what they have done in the music world, and this is where you can listen to one fine hour from Korn.
