Free Music Notes for L.a.P.D.Free Music Review: The Origins Of Korn
As any self respecting Korn fan should know, before there was Korn came L.A.P.D. (short for Love And Peace Dude). L.A.P.D. consists of where-is-he-now vocalist Richard Morales and current Korn members James "Munky" Shaffer, Fieldy, and David Silveria (contrary to popular belief, Brian "Head" Welch wasn't an official member). So it's essential listening for anyone who loves Korn. Does it sound anything like Korn, you may ask? Hell no. L.A.P.D. aren't exactly original, and listening to this album is like a time-warp, back to the late 80's/early 90's. They combine all the obvious influences such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Suicidal Tendencies and Faith No More, and throw in a little bit of old-school Metallica for good measure. Overall, it's a mish-mash of genres going on, so the CD never gets boring, as they always take an unexpected turn. Richard Morales spends half the disc rapping, and the rest either yelling or growling. He is a fitting vocalist for this type of music, I wonder what ever became of him? Fieldy, Munky and David have just as much chemistry on here as they showed in later efforts, and Munky even churns out a few riffs that would later be used for the first Korn album (listen carefully). Also, it's interesting to hear him tackle some solos and show a little more proficiency at guitar than most people give him credit for. Skills which will serve him well, as Korn is now head-less and he is the lone guitar player for the band. Some highlights of the collection (which is a re-release of their debut "Who's Laughing Now" with three extra tracks tacked on) include "P.M.S.," "Don't Label Me," "Jesus" (which was later covered by Videodrone), and the odd, yet addictive disco-wannabe "Slicky Slixter." Overall, a very nostalgic and different listen for a Korn fan. I highly recommend this CD, even if you don't like Korn but are interested in the bands that influenced them. L.A.P.D. are definitely missing the harder, darker edge that Jonathan Davis brought to the table with Korn, so just listen with an open mind. Actually, forget this whole review, let it just be known that any band that samples the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" forever has my respect!
