Korn

[Piko]

From what I've heard, it's not bad. Liking Black is the Soul and The Hating.

I hate Korn's remake of "Another Brick in the Wall" in three parts. It's horrible.

Are you aware that the original has three parts, too?

[armogi]

not really doing it for me so far, I probably need more listens but I am sort of over korn maybe, I also hate all these poppy choruses, they ruin most of the somewhat good songs. JD's voice sucks too, production improved tho but still not raw enough, seems like all these "big" bands deliberately all aim for that same over polished sound.

[thevoid99]

Yes but at least the three songs told a story in its narrative and when Korn used it, it made no fucking sense. Not to mention that Jonathan has become a whiny bitch.

When was he not?

This record has a song with a DJ scratching on it. I can't tell if it's a half joke or not.

"Hollow Life" - (Untouchables)
"Thoughtless" - (Untouchables)
"Ass Itch" - (Life is Peachy)
"Wicked" - (Life is Peachy)
"Falling Away from Me" - (Issues)
"Helmet in the Bush" - (Korn)
"Y'All Wanna A Single" - (Take A Look in the Mirror)
"Embrace" - (Untouchables)
"Need To" - (Korn)
"Open Up" - (See You On the Other Side)
bonus #11: "Word Up" - (Greatest Hits Vol. 1)

some additions to mull over:






(JD's screams at the end of Olsen are terrifying)

So, this is why Nick Raskulinecz was unavailable for Deftones' Gore? He's a goddamn brilliant producer. His work on Stone Sour, Mastodon and Deftones is stellar. But, noooo, this year he had to make fucking Korn sound good, while Deftones worked with that other guy who made Gore sound like shit. Boo.

/rant

I really like the bonus track "Baby".

Apparently he was a life long Korn fan.

Very good album. Loving the riffs and there are some good choruses throughout. Production is solid. Sounds great. Definitely adding this one to my current playlist.
I'm listening through headphones right now but tomorrow, I'm gonna piss off my neighbor.

[Space Suicide]

Out of any Korn song or album, Falling Away From Me Is by far and away their best song and their absolute most awesome music video. Issues is their pinnacle as far as I'm concerned. It's tied with being my favorite album along with Life is Peachy. I really never cared much for Follow The Leader. I don't know why everyone loves that album so much besides Freak On A Leash and Got The Life.

For nostalgia check out this shit

[GulDukat]

Not a massive Korn fan, but yeah, their new album is very good.

[LaneSax]

album has some good qualities
great riffs
Jonathan's vocals
choruses (some good, some overdone)

production is top notch too

[Piko]

Think it's a safe bet to call this a legit return to form. Possibly the best thing they've done since Issues.

[Piko]

Think it's a safe bet to call this a legit return to form unlike the last two "back to basics" albums. Possibly the best thing they've done since Issues.

[ManBurning]

I always thought that "Follow The Leader" Was the definitive KoRn album when it came out. I didn't think it could get any better than that. Even after their next few albums came out, I still said that "Follow" was the best. But now, after recently revisiting it, I can't really listen to that album anymore. There are so many better KoRn songs out there now. In 2016 I wouldn't rank it as high as I would have in the past. I'm not too familiar with most of their discography after Untouchables, but I'll attempt a list anyway. To me, Untouchables is the last good KoRn record, it's a really solid record.

1. KoRn
2. Untoucheables
3. Issues
4. Follow The Leader
5. The Path Of Totality (Yes, I like this "abomination" of a record this much. I thought they went outside the box on this one and tried something new and it worked)
6. The Paradigm Shift
7. Untitled
8. Life is Peachy (I never liked this album, something about it doesn't sit right with me)

And I don't know the others enough to rank them. I can't put the new one in here either because it's too new. I've only listened to it like twice.

Best song on the new record is "Black As your Soul"

[LaneSax]

Follow the Leader has been my favourite KoRn album for the longest time but Untouchables has aged the best.
I find myself having random cravings to listen to tracks from Untouchables a lot more than the other albums.

I wonder what happened to the video for Take Me

it was supposed to be release today but now there is no news of it, including the preview video posted online

[LaneSax]

[neorev]

Hoping a lossless copy of the Japanese version shows up soon so I can grab this track. The other Japanese editions of previous albums have shown up. Just listened to the 24 bit lossless audio version, sounds good.

[Twiggy]

Nick Raskulinecz also worked with Alice in Chains on their last two albums.

I'll give the new album a listen.
To be honest I sort of found Korn to be a bit too repetitive after Untouchables. But the new tracks sound better.

[neorev]

[LaneSax]

Take Me is one of the worse tracks off the new record but I can understand why it's a single

almost a week and these are my favorites from the record

The Hating
Everything Falls Apart
Rotting in Vain
Baby
When You're Not There
Die Yet Another Night
Black is the Soul

[voidnz]

I love the new album. It's one of those albums that starts strong and never falls and before you know it it's done and you want more.

My album ranking is probably:
1. Korn
2. Issues
3. Follow the Leader
4. Untouchables
5. The Serenity Of Suffering
6. Life is Peachy
7. The Paradigm Shift
8. Take a Look In The Mirror
9. See You On The Other Side
10. Untitled
11. Korn III
12. Path to Totality

Apparently Korn re-released Life Is Peachy, Follow The Leader, and Issues in 24 bit... there are 3 options 24/44, 24/96, and 24/192

I saw a couple of leaking sites have them up, but using annoying hosting sites to download them. Sadly not up on torrents.

Jeez, be patient, man. They should be in the usual places in a few days. No re-release of self-titled?
