15:20 “it’s like classic KoRn fused with borderline dubstep”
That foreshadowing lol
So people keep saying... sounds like I'm in for a full on Korn dubstep album in the near future. That should be fun!
@@mollyesanborn yeah Path of Totality is as you can imagine a very divisive record. I personally really like it but that’s mostly because I was already a dubstep fan when it came out lol.
I’m really excited to see your reaction to the album when you eventually get to it. Your reactions are some of my favorites
@@kingboostudios I really think a lot of us expect the reaction to Path Of Totality, from someone who is listening to the entire discography in order, because that change becomes too shocking even for the electronic arrangements that Korn had been having.
In my opinion a great success, the Korn 2005-2010 was already being very boring and monotonous.
@@mollyesanbornfans couldn't help but spoiler it, how sad
@@mollyesanborn It is not very fun.
The B sides to this album are really good! Eaten up Inside, It's me Again, Last Legal Drug, Inside Out, Appears and Too Late I'm Dead. They are on the heavier side!
Listen to Eaten up inside then listen to Spirit Box Sew Me Up very similar main riff.
Nice, thanks for letting me know! I'll have to check them out.
Idk how they weren't on the main.
totally! the B-sides form this album are insane, they're so good. Eaten Up Inside is probably one of my favorite Korn tracks
@@kevinstarofficial man the new Spiritbox song see me up has strong Eaten up Inside vibes
she's actually gonna lose her damn mind with Korn's Path of Totality album, dear lord. I have absolutely no idea what to expect lol
Oh boy I'm excited to hear it!
I love Path of Totality, to be honest.
I was thinking the same thing 🤣
@@mollyesanborn I can’t wait to see you react to that album 🤘🏽
Tearjerker 😭😭🙏
I've always considered this to be Korn's party album. The songs are meant to be really accessible, glittery and not as focused on the personal problems in the lyrics.
very well said my man, this and path of totality are the party albums for sure. great to put'em on when you wanna up your morale hahaha
Yeah don't really agree with that
@@epicmage82 yeah I love and respect both syotos and tpot way too much to even think about considering them party albums.
This album is very good, it has some good songs (Twisted Transistor, Hypocrites, Throw me away, Open up, Liar and the underrated Tearjerker) and one that is a permanent song in their shows: Coming undone, what a great song.
They don’t have it for this current summer tour
The industrial rock influence on this album was always something I loved, you really felt what Atticus Ross and The Matrix brought to the production on this record👌🏻
The tour for this album was amazing. Absolutely legendary.
Love these Korn and Deftones reviews, I appreciate these albums even more when I see other people enjoying them 👏🏻
Glad to hear that! I love making these reactions and discovering awesome bands like Korn and Deftones, so I'm happy that fans of these bands enjoy seeing me discover them :)
I love see you on the other side from Korn such a great record
I just saw korn and Evanescence last night for the first time and it was awesome. He even brought out the bagpipes!
I'm going to the KoRn/ Evanescence concert in a week! So excited!
Tearjerker is easily the best on the album, it's so good
This album is overhated in my opinion. It's such a fun listen!
What I like about the album was they weren't afraid to try something new and that helped to add new things in future albums.
So they find ways to keep a fresh sound.
This album is definitely a grower. I still love it for songs like throw me away and tearjerker, especially. The next one is similar so just a bit of a heads up. Still some great songs and the percussion on some of them are fantastic. Then again, they have the legendary Terry bozzio on drums for much that album. You'll more than likely like the album after (Korn lll), but maybe not the path to totality which comes after. But when Head returns, their albums get heavy again. So this definitely isn't their permanent future direction
their next album [Untitled] is one of my favorites I can't wait to see what you think of it. specially the song "I will protect you" and very dark and haunty vibes. also Jon davis had just acquired an electric bagpipe thing so that's why he was adding it to the songs endings on this album lol.
Souvenir is so good. I really like this album, but then, I like all of their albums.
You should do a reaction to the theatrical version of "Twisted Transistor"! Hilarious...
"Love Song" is a stone cold classic. Love that track. "Liar" too.
You gotta hear the end of "Open Up" surrounded by at least 4 speakers...
i love your job! waiting for more korn reviews, i bought the deluxe edition of this album and the art is just beautiful, the bonus tracks are good too. love song live at rock am ring 2006 is just great, at that time they did amazing live shows,I loved the musicians that they incorporated at that time
See you on the other side and untitled were the first KoRn albums I ever heard and I can't really choose a favorite but they hold a special place in my heart.
That's awesome. Both albums are amazing and underrated
I claim this album to be my most favorite album of all music in general. I don´t know but there is something about this album that makes me feel safe and comfortable. Couldn´t really describe it by words. I´ve been listening to this album almost on a daily basis ever since march and i just never can get bored of listening to these songs, which I think are very very extraordinary.
I can’t wait for your reviews of the later albums. The next one is hated by Korn fans but I think it’s an underrated masterpiece
I'm looking forward to hearing them!
The B sides on this album were damn good. Also Untitled is their most underrated album. It is damn good
Thank you!!!
This was the last album with David Silveria as drummer.
Coming Undone was a big hit at the time, on the next album things didn't get any better, they had good songs like Evolution, Kiss and Sing Sorrow, but they weren't very successful.
The next album (Untitled, but several called Korn II, later you'll understand why) was an experimental album, its sound goes more towards rock and ballads. There were only 3 official members in the band when they recorded it, they had collaborations from other drummers and Davis himself for percussion. They were helped on tour by Joey Jordison of Slipknot.
The 2005-2010 era of Korn is a bit boring, but it has good things that I know you'll appreciate.
In pretty sure Silveria left even before the half way mark in the making of syotos. Probably why half the songs have produced drums
Now you've reached the stretch of korn albums I've really been looking forward to. This, Untitled, III, Paradigm Shift etc.
love untitled, 3, tps, hell even tpot lol
@@bawitback absolutely
The stretch I've been waiting for as well! Slightly bummed she didn't like syotos that much. I think it's so underrated. I hope she likes untitled and Pshift waaay more
Once again, nice reaction. You should check the bonus disc on this album, I found it better than the album itself back in the days 😅
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! I'll have to check out the bonus disc now.
1:14 "This chrous is very pop sounding almost"
On this album Korn had drafted in pop songwriters The Matrix to help with the songwriting. The Matrix had previously worked with Avril Lavigne, Christin Aguilera, Ricky Martin etc
lol about the last part
This is the album where Brian "Head" Welch left the band and didn't return until around 2013. Then David left after this album as well on drums. This album has some good tracks it just takes a few listens to grow on you.
Liar and tearjerker is one of my favorites
Ayyyy I was waiting for this let’s go
A little bit of housekeeping for Korn and this album.
Head had left
Korn signed a new 5 year record deal with Virgin Eecords one of the first 50/50 deals as part of the new Korn EMI Partnership.
Jonathan had a much bigger role in the songwriting.
Korn had drafted in The Matrix pop song writing team to help co write and co produce.
Attcus Ross wrote and produced some of the tracks.
To help promote the album they were I believe the first band ever to perform live on a flight from London to New York.
Coming Undone is the only track Korn play live from this album on a regular basis.
If you can get through the next couple of albums there is a massive resurgence from KoRn thereafter, particularly when Head rejoins.
The album The Nothing is a masterpiece, great variance & very, very emotional (given it was written in the aftermath of Jonathan's ex-wife and his mother both passing). KoRn at their best some 25yrs later.
Please keep the journey going!
The Nothing barely captures any sadness at all tbh
very unique but i think it was a bit corny (no pun intended) compared to actually emotional albums like Issues, self titled, or Korn III
@@4qu4h3x different emotions - he was young during issues, his emotions were anger, frustration, resentment, greed. The Nothing is a lot more nuanced: guilt, loneliness, grief, forgiveness, responsibility.
It just hits different, especially if you've gone through grief yourself.
I love Issues, great album! But to make a badger at album 13 that still captures a lot of emotion, experimentation, thoughtful lyrics & still sound very KoRn is an amazing achievement.
And KornIII is their worst album by far 😉😉 Only one I haven't purchased.
@@scottmorey6212 korn III is one of their best considering it actually sounds like korn not like that linkin park bs that is "the nothing"
@@scottmorey6212 korn III is one of their best considering it actually sounds like korn not like that linkin park bs that is "the nothing"
@@4qu4h3x sure thing, boss. As long as you're enjoying KoRn I really don't mind 😎
I enjoyed your reactions and reviewing this album by Korn, which has been my favorite band for so many years, so I will break this album down right here, right now:
1. Twisted Transistor
Nice one, you can immediately feel, they are trying something different again. they produced this album with the same producer who produced albums of Britney Spears (if you re-listen knowing that, it does make sense).
2. Politics
It has such an interesting start where I felt, this could be cool, but gradually developed to a song that I don’t care about. They produced this album with the same producer who produced albums or Britney Spears, and while listening to this song, I was thinking, maybe that was not a good idea.
3. Hypocrites
Here you have a little bit of the heaviness I have been missing on this album, so far my favorite, I enjoy the oriental vocal line, but again I agree, something is missing. It is also the speed: The live versions are notably faster, and this song played faster is so much better. I recommend to listen to the live-versions.
4. Souvenir of Sadness
Again not bad, but I agree with what she says about „hollowness“, I think it is a good word to describe why I am still not super-impressed. Gotta say, I found Hyprocites heavier, not this one to be the heaviest so far, as she said. I also wouldn’t say his vocals are too predictable, almost on the contrary (the way he starts Politics, for instance, totally caught me off guard, but unpredictable is not always good). Probably you are much rather referring to the variety of how Davis usually uses is voice, from crying to laughing to screaming like insane, from deep voice to high pitch and so on, I would agree with that.
5. 10 or 2-Way
It’s funny that you say this one is your favorite so for, because this one or Politics is my least favorite that far, albeit the bridge I find not bad, and of course when I first listened to it, I freaked out hearing the bagpipes in the end. I guess they were only added in the end of some songs as a nostalgic element for Korn-fans, but they it incorporated to a more „futuristic“ sound, so it sounds familiar enough, and yet different enough.
6. Throw me Away
Even though it is the softest song so far and I have been really missing Korn’s heavy stuff, this is my favorite so far. The verses are nice, the chorus is catchy, the bridge sounds more creepy and haunting but Davis' is singing even higher notes here.
7. Love Song
So different, typical Korn, yet different, can keep up with previous song. I agree still waiting for something, want an aggressive punch of energy, but Love Song or Throw Away, one of these two is my favorite so far.
8. Open Up
I wish they had the dark atmosphere like in the previous songs of this album, especially Love Song. I thought track number 7 would lead to something in a similar direction, but the girl’s reaction in the video with the acoustic sound in the end sums up my feeling... like "WTF?". The scatting in the end was again a nostalgia-plus, even if it sounded almost too experimental for me.
9. Coming Undone
Thought it was not bad when first listening to it, and started appreciating it even more when I listened to it more often. Decent song, another cool live-song.
10. Getting Off
This song is again so different with several surprise elements. I love about Korn how they experiment, but in this album I feel like sometimes it is almost too much of experimenting, the result is not as great as in their first albums, maybe this can be regarded as an act of „despair“ after David Silveria left. I agree that it’s cool when he brings in variety in his voice, like the unexpected death growls shortly before the chorus. Such variety I felt was missing especially in Open Up, and it just didn't sound enough like Korn to me. Getting Off: Not bad, but where is the song that makes me go like wow?
11. Liar
Wow! What you have been saying many times up until that point, the things that are missing, it’s almost the end of the album, but it is finally all there in this song: Heavy riffs, catchy melodic chorus, old school Korn, but fused with new elements with their new found „electronic fetish“. Easily my favorite on this album that far and I knew the first time listening to it that it will probably not be topped.
12. For No One
I mentioned how Britney Spears had the same producer before. Here it is the most obvious: Listen to the verses and imagine Britney’s voice singing it, could have been from a Britney-Album. Just not what you would expect as a Korn-Fan style-wise and my least favorite. Any song coming from Britney I might like more.
13. Seen it all
Interesting, sinister atmosphere, the vocals are again so different from all the rest. The song is not bad, but especially love the bridge of this song, one of the great, great moments on this album, beautifully composed, plus it sums up the cover of the album if you listen to the lyrics.
14. Tearjerker
A very courageous effort. The haunting voice effect in the verses are cool. Especially like how the almost entirely soft song builds up to this more dramatic and louder ending hat finally sounds like Korn again. Still I find the song just okay. Like the girl says, for the most part it doesn’t sound like a Korn song.
I can highly recommend the Bonus track „Eaten Up Inside“, which in my opinion is one of the best songs on the entire album. The album as a whole, when speaking about Korn’s first twelve albums at least (need to listen to the 13th and 14th album more often), is actually my second least favorite album of Korn (only the „Untitled“ album I found worse).
When you start your videos with a clip taken from a moment from some point later in the reaction, I’m always curious to see which song the clip you use ends up coming from. With the clip you used for the start of the video asking if Korn finally reached the point of insanity with the album, I was thinking “I bet you anything that moment came from the end portion of the song Open Up. I gotta give myself a little pat on the back for correctly predicting what moment on the album that was. 😄
This album is very interesting. I like some parts and there's some I do not. When Molly said it felt like it was missing something. That's how I felt as well. I understand Head left the band before this so they were down a man. But it still feels like something was missing. And if you felt that way towards this album, you will definitely feel that with the next. It's not the worst album ever, but from a band that put out hit after hit, this one feels lower on the scale.
They also had to try different producers I think and stop and start recording maybe in different studios I'm not sure
Untitled is definitely Korn going through the motions. David Silveria was out, so drumming duties would be handled by either Jonathan Davis, Brooks Wackerman, or Terry Bozzio, which makes for a very inconsistent album. Korn were a 3 piece on that band, and it certainly sounds like it. Korn were basically running at 60 percent and going through a lot of personal issues. Jonathan Davis had nearly died on the tour leading up to that, because he had a blood disorder. David had just left, and wasn't responding to the band. There was back and forth between Head and the band, and I think there was some bitterness at that time. The album was a success in a way (charted at number 2 on the Billboard 200), and it did have some great tracks. But inconsistent production, song quality, and an overall odd mix made Korn sound like they were a fraction of the wall of sound they used to be.
@@EyeShotFirst one of their greatest albums top 5 for me
Honestly, not my favorite album, but it does have some great songs such as Politics, Coming Undone, Liar, Tearjerker, and Love Song. But I’ll also say that there are definitely missing elements. I believe their following album was better than this one, so it’s great they evolved a bit, but the mid-end section of this album, with the B-sides/extra songs, were pretty lack luster. Not the best, but a decent album overall.
Dude, yeah I feel you on Tearjerker. The only song I consistently come back to. This and the next album aren't really for me. But the one after that (Korn III) brings back the authenticity I feel they'd lacked for awhile. Not even heavier for real, just raw emotion with concise songwriting. I know it'll be a bit, but I'm hyped to hear your thoughts on that. Loving the journey so far though ✌🏻 Keep having fun with it.
Ugh, I forgot about that one. I thought we only had 1 more album to go before her PoT review 😠 welp, maybe by the end of the year 😂
It’s a grower .. it’s like they ve tried to replicate that “word up “ cover song feeling.
Not in my top Korn albums but I do enjoy even pop tracks like twisted transistor!
Coming undone is my favourite of course but also hypocrites and souvenir!
Molly keep listening, they eventually return to their older sound , they do it not in a good way but then they do succeed, really loved their last 3 albums 🤘
Ya te extrañaba con otra reseña de korn saludos desde México 🇲🇽
Absolutely love these vids! Keep up the amazing content 😊
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying them.
Cool review 🤟
I recommand you Godsmack
A really good band !
I love your content so much I’m glad I found you lol
A lot of those “weird bagpipe” ends are actually “hidden tracks” that were on CDs. They appear at the end of digital tracks, but we’re only discoverable as end of song hidden tracks on cds.
Love your reactions!!!!❤
aw thanks! :D
Great reaction, as always! Love your content format, always refreshing to hear thoughts on lesser known songs.
Could you add Pantera to your list of reactions? The album The Great Southern Trendkill is what I had in mind (my personal fav is Sandblasted Skin)!
Finally found some time out of New Dad mode to catch up on your videos. Thank you so much as always! 🔥🔥💚🔥🔥
Aw congrats! Glad you've finally got a little down time to enjoy the videos :)
@@mollyesanborn thank you!!
I really like the pace you set for yourself when you do these album reactions when you’re doing a band’s discography in chronological order. Like you don’t just burn through each one in a short span of time and get them all jumbled together and not be able to retain what you’ve heard. And from things I’ve seen you say in the comments you reply to in videos, it sounds like you listen to some stuff more after your initial review? So it seems like you give yourself enough time to digest each album before moving to the next one. But they aren’t spaced so far apart to where it’s been a really long time since the last one. So like they are all spaced out pretty evenly. And I don’t just mean Korn but the band discographies you do in general.
Anyway, this was a good review of the album. Im glad you liked Tearjerker because that’s easily my favorite song on the album and one of my favorite Korn songs just in general.
You have to listen to the bonus tracks! They're amazing! There's about 6 or 7 of them, so it's worth a separate video, I think! Last Legal Drug is my favorite!
The bagpipe interludes are brilliant in my opinion. It depends on how you perceive the music, i see it as a Korn in Wonderland type story, where you get to dream about their music, but as with dreams, everything is mixed up and makes no sense, that's how korn's sound is more coloured, distorted and chopped up on this album. and those interludes tie the bagpipe trademark again in a very dreamlike weird way. I listen to korn since 98 and funny enough this album gets the most plays from me in the end. I guess it is my favorite after all, though i wouldnt have expected it hahaa
ending in seen it all is the best bagpipes part, epic and emotional
This was also the first album since Head left the band in kind a not great breakup. He left to go and experience sobriety for the first time and also his new found relationship with god. They said with this album there were trying to experiment with a new sound because with Head not being there Fieldy had to take more of a supporting role instead of doing his own thing. Untitled is one of my favorite albums from them, and it’s also the first album without their drummer so it’s just the three of them left.
Cant wait for the reaction to the Dubstep album 😆
My favorite song on this album is Seen It All. The B-Sides and that song are some of their best.
I can tell you what you’re not feeling. It’s the first album they wrote without their guitarist Head. Munky did an amazing job holding the fort, but they won’t have that full, heavy quality again until Head comes back on The Paradigm Shift. Though I argue they found their heaviness again one album later on The Serenity of Suffering.
Next is UNTITLED. Most underrated KoRn album. But musically is amazing!
I love the intro and Chorus to politics. I've listened to Twisted Transistor to the point it isn't good anymore. This album has a hell lot of bonus tracks, could you listen to them as well?
I think this is my fave because as much as I like nu metal, I hugely prefer alternative metal which is what they did with this
This was the first album I remember listening to front to back multiple times
Love this album, love the artwork, love the wierd interludes, love the b sides
Absolutely brilliant album untouchable
That "quality" you say feels like it's missing is the unsung hero of Korn, Brian "Head" Welch, one of the founding guitarists. He left the band after Take a Look in the Mirror and a TON of Korn's trademark sound and songwriting left with him. He would not return until 2013's The Paradigm Shift and that's when the band really got back to some really great music. Head's contributions cannot be understated.
It's not my favorite Korn album but I enjoy it. The involvement of Atticus Ross is quite obvious. My favorite songs from the album are Throw me Away and Love Song.
this was my first listen to this album as well...very different, Tearjerker was the stand out for me, when the heaviness came in though, I wish they'd have continued it on through to the end
I guess I’m weird. This is one of my favorite Korn albums. Throw Me Away is probably my favorite Korn song. The acoustic version with the taiko drums is amazing 🤩
Korns unplugged performance never gets any love 😫😫😫
"ahh-aaaaaahhhh"
Gets me every time!
I'm weird too then!! I became a passionate korn fan in the Era right before this album released, and when it did-I absolutely loved it. I was calling my local radio station trying to get them to play Love song ha. But I love it front to back. Throw me away gets me teary eyed! The interlude, where he repeats the lyrics but in a more intense and higher key, I get so into it.
When Brian Head Welch left the band, Korn really didn't know how to be a band.
And it shows in their next couple releases.
Although Jonathan Davis I think carried Korn on his back after Brian left,
Jonathan was the highlight of Korn during the middle portion of their career, while the rest of the band was just bland.
See You on the Other Side was the first Korn album I purchased so I do adore this album, and it's difficult for me to find its faults.
I still have fun singing along to this record and find myself having a great to time.
I seem to remember thinking this album felt like they may have been the throw away tracks from the soundtrack to Queen of the Damned that Jonathan Davis had a big hand in a few years before.
This became my last Korn album for a long while. With another member moving on, the drummer left after this album, and all the bands that had been jacking their style it seemed like a good time for a break. I returned with 'The Serenity of Suffering'.
That's because it's missing one of his guitar players on this album guitarist Head also they had several big pop star producers work with them this time around
This was their first album of 4 with only one guitarist instead of 2. Definitely different, but definitely fun.
I feel the next record is far better take on this sound, going far more towards Industrial Rock with far more prominence of Atticuss Ross, I think you will maybe enjoy that record even more, it is my personal favorite from Korn.
It is telling, I feel, that the best songs from this are the ones where Ross had a hand in production.
Yeah I was surprised to read that Atticus Ross helped produce See You On The Other Side considering I was pretty lukewarm about it. I love me some Nine Inch Nails so I'd imagine I'll really enjoy the tracks that he has a heavier hand in producing on their next album.
I feel it wasn't mixed as well as SYOTOS. The bass for example is not even there lol. Still got some good songs on it though.
Untitled is your favorite korn album?! That's awesome. I absolutely love that album, since day one. I remember counting the days til its release, and then playing it so much my family got angry. Another seriously underrated korn album. Which songs are your favorite? Everyone seems to love Hold on, when that one is actually my least favorite on the album
My favorites in no particular order;
Love n luxury
Killing
Innocent bystander
Starting over
B1tch we got a problem
Kiss
Do what they say
I will protect you
But then evolution, ever be, hold on and hushabye are also great. Front to back great album. Same for syotos. I've been die hard on that since my teens
@@trevor5071 I am a big Nine Inch Nails fan, and Untitled gives me a lot of Nine Inch Nails feelings, so I am indeed a big fan of it, big fan of the Industrial sound it goes for. I strongly believe itt has some of Jonathan's best lyricism in his entire career too.
My favorite ones are all of the ones you listed. "We got a problem" and "Killing" are the biggest highlights for me, even though I honestly enjoy the entire album.
The loss of head was huge!! You should check out his side band Love and Death. You’ll find out where the missing part went;) they have two albums you should review both of them. Head sings.
KoЯn wise, they did a awesome job in finding a way to progress with what they had. If it sounded the same every time it would get boring. I can’t wait you’re only halfway through what they have.
Fieldy has a solo album too. Fieldy’s Dreams. Put that on the list;)
Fieldy's Dreams is absolutely terrible hahaha. It was like listening to a child write lyrics. It would be a funny review though.
Twisted Transistor i would advise to watch the official videoclip because it's great and it explains the lyrics.
These albums after Issues were on a very weird transition between old Korn and new Korn until they released Untitled.
Jonathan Davis' vocals is what started Dubstep sound
So glad you brought korn back.
Of course! I've definitely gotta do all of their albums :)
Loved it. So fun. Bopilina, you are super fine 💗
I cant get enough of this album. Twisted Transistor and Open Up are such anthems.
To be honest, I've tried really hard with this album and could never get into it. You can definitely hear Brian's absence. They did have good bounce backs with 07 self-titled and Remember Who You Are (not even going to discuss Path of Totality), but the albums they've released with him since his return in 2013 is when they truly returned to the form of what made them so great.
That's just my opinion though.
This album was the first album that did not feature there lead guitarist Brian Welch who quit the band
yeah this album is definitely more on the mainstream side, the next one is even bigger departure from their usual style, but I reaaaly like it, it has this weird theatrical vibe :-) also since you enjoy these electronic elements ( I mean duh, you like NIN so its obvious) I think that you are going to love Machine by Static-x because its very cold, aggressive and industrial.
The thing that feels missing from this album is head, one of korns guitarists. This was their first album without head and something just feels off, however I still love this album
It definitely has been a minute since you’ve checked out a Korn album hasn’t it jokes aside I really love coming undone off this album which I believe is supposed to be a little bit more commercial other than anything that said if you want some really awesome more raw new metal to check out on your channel I still am going to recommend Spineshank as well as El Niño those guys are criminally underrated in my opinion and make some really awesome music great reaction really enjoyed it
Haha, I'll definitely try and stay on top of the Korn albums! Hopefully I won't make you guys wait too long for the next one. And thanks for the suggestions. I'll be sure that Spineshank and El Niño are on my list :)
YES! I’ve been waiting for this review lol this is one of my favorite Korn albums. Keep it up!
I loved this album. It's definitely an odd one though.
I just fucking love this channel
Listen To Pantera, Machine Head and more Sepultura albums 🤘
Thanks for the suggestions! :)
Yeah, go for Machine Head's discography! You will love most of the albums
I like a couple songs on this album, but as a whole it's easily on the bottom of my Korn discography ranking. This was a really awkward time for the band, a lot was going on. A bunch of people in the comments have brought up most of what changed. To add to it:
Head left the band (which blindsided them) and this was Munky's first time writing alone which was a huge adjustment for him. Take A Look In The Mirror didn't sell as well as expected, marking the end of Korn's reign in mainstream music (the previous 3 albums were massive). Tastes changed and they felt like they had to try something new, so they hired The Matrix to produce this album who are best known for working with pop musicians (Avril Levigne, Rihanna, and Shakira, it's a big list). Lauren Christy, 1 of 3 in The Matrix, has worked on many Korn albums since. I believe she works closely with Jonathan.
David (the drummer) hated the direction of this album, he didn't want to work with The Matrix, among other things. This was their 7th album in 12 years with nonstop touring in between. He felt it was too different from their sound and you can hear the difference in his drumming compared to the other albums. He left the band after they finished touring this album. This album also sounds off because the production changed Fieldy's bass tone. He's buried on almost every track (which has happened a few times since). As you've noticed in your listen through, this album is much tamer than their previous work. There's no bounce from the percussion and very little grime in the production (I call it the Creep factor) as a whole. This album didn't sell well either.
awe I t hought you were live...but I did drop everything, my cats may have gotten a bit of burrito because of it
My Favourite Album I Love It! Tearjerker it´s very Cold!💀👽🖤🖤🖤
Yeah I agree, Tearjerker elicits such an isolated, lonely feeling while listening to it. I love the atmosphere they created on that track. Absolutely my favorite song from the album!
@@mollyesanborn Yes, I Agree With you Molly, Good Song!
My first Korn album. Maybe it's nostalgia but it's one of my favorites from them. Just seemed like they had a lot of creativity going on. Just based on your comments I think you'd like Black Light Burns. I'd start with the album cruel melody.
Definitely not nostalgia, the pattern is she doesn't like the genre fusion tracks and takes issue with the bagpipes for some reason. But anything with an electronic or hip hop influence(bounciness as she calls it) her face twisted up and as she said she felt luke warm about it. I have a feeling she'll dislike the 2010s albums especially path of totality, until we get to the nothing for...obvious reasons
@@ILikeCHEEZ9 yeah that album was a bust for sure.... Only songs I liked off of it were narcissistic cannibal and chaos live in everything. Then they overcorrected trying to copy their early sound with rwya. After brian came back they've been as good as ever thankfully.
You are now in the middle of KoЯn discography. You have listened to 7 albums, and 7 more are ahead of you. I like their albums from 90's the most, but I also like their albums from 2014 onward.
Its like there's no bottom end.
You should check out the song Sean Olsen from Korn. Its on the film The Crow soundtrack and its from back in their first album days. It's the way I wish Korn still sounded.
I find this album to be the spiritual follow up to Follow the Leader and the bridge between FTL and Korn III: Remember Who You Are - I think there’s a streamline more mainstream aimed appeal on those 3 albums - or maybe they tried to capture the magic from FTL on SYOTOS and K3 RWYA I don’t know.
So this is the album that head departs from. Maybe they lost that heaviness you seek because he went away. Some songs lack that quality but I like what they did with this album.
I love certain songs on here and others... maybe not so much? This is about the last Korn album I know decently well so I'm interested to see if you'll continue their discography after this one.
Also, I appreciate that you're very honest when you're not entirely into something, while still commenting on the little gleams that stick out to you.
Idk if you react to more tame albums too but I have a few suggestions you might like, both mellow and also hard :)

This album was OK! It was indeed missing something, that something was Brian "Head' Welch. He would come back a few albums later though. It was noticeable in their latest album Requiem.
You MUST react to 2023 R E Q U I E M being the last album from Korn!..... (japanese version has 1 or 2 more tracks ) they were releasing the album by parts tru this year =D
Molly! I don’t really engage in social media, but I wanted to request “NAILS : YOU WILL NEVER BE ONE OF US”
Its really hard and catchy and will definitely make you want to listen to it in your car.. . AND IMAGINE RAMMING PEOPLE INTO THE GUARD RAILS BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD THEIR LEFT TURN SINGAL ON FOR THE PAST MILE. 🤘
The albums don’t really get a heavier tone until Serenity of Suffering, with lots of albums in between 😅, every album from there on out are absolute bangers
the nothing was hot garbage but requiem is quite good
@@4qu4h3x other way round bud
@@Csnich96 what are you on bro , the nothing is like actually their worst sounding album in what way do you like it
Definitely a shift for them on this album. I started listening to KoRn in '99 and when this album came out I had a VERY difficult time digesting it. About 8 years passed and I finally started liking this album. Then it hit me!! "See You on the Other Side". I think this album was ahead of it's time. Now it just feels like KoRn and is one that I go back to regularly. *Definitely agree with the comments about the b-sides. Truly some great stuff didn't make the album. Probably should have been a double album.
Some albums are definitely ahead of there time, this being one of them. But its funny you say that because a few weeks ago I listened to results may vary by limp and I said the exact same thing 🤣
This is the first album without Head i believe. That is the missing link
I LOVE YOU
aqui é do Brazil
this album is great. jr high jams
