appreciate the honest ranking not letting nostalgia get in way. especially with life is peachy and follow the leader. interesting take on untouchables, that album was a turning point for Korn sounding more electronic, mainstream. completely agree with you on see you on the other side regular version, but I like the b-sides/bonus songs from the deluxe edition. untitled is a step up for me it's one of my favorite albums since they took risks with this one but understand your ranking.
I wasn't a fan of Untitled initially but it grew on me. I understand why people didn't like SYOTOS, it was more poppy and electronic but I kinda digged it.
Good rankings. Personally I would have rated untouchables and SYOTOS a bit higher, but otherwise agree. Korn went through a slump when Head left and then improved a lot when he came back, not sure if that's coincidence or if he has been involved in the songwriting process. Follow the Leader was their breakout album, but as a Korn fan I don't find myself returning to that album too often.
I think Head deserves more credit for the bands success. His solo album is also very good and was a step up from what Korn were putting out around the same time.

1. KoRn 2. Life is Peachy 3. Follow the Leader 4. Issues ^^^ This is not up for debate, it is written in stone that these are the 4 best albums and this is the correct order, if you disagree you're objectively wrong. (Honestly I'd put JD's Queen of the Damned soundtrack here, but that's not technically KoRn..) 5. Take a Look in the Mirror 6. Untitled 7. Untouchables 8. The Paradigm Shift (Surprisingly strong album with a few bangers) 9. KoRn III (Underrated, couple amazing songs like Oildale and Are You Ready To Live?) 10. See You on the Other Side (I like Tearjerker, that's about it) ^^^ These 6 are up for debate, quality varies song-to-song. The rest of their catalogue is trash. This band was GOATed but they fell off HARD, progressively got worse with each album... Though the same could be said for pretty much every band.
@@Jonsjamsessions When I got self-titled in maybe 1995, nu-metal was still a couple of years away from even being a genre, so maybe you are correct. I never liked nu metal outside of this one album and Deftones. Korn certainly became more commercially accessible after this album, and it just wasn't for me. The songs were either goofy, boring, or a seemingly forced attempt to replicate the cathartic trauma of songs like Daddy, which felt a little cringy and inauthentic to me (Kill You and My Gift to You in particular). To each his own of course, I'm glad there are people still enjoying what they do, and it's cool they are still around making music. Here to Stay was a banger, though....
@@justincider4375 I know it's a shameless plug but I think you'd enjoy our episode reviewing Korn as you hit a few things there that we have the same issue (haha) with

Cheers. yes a lot's based off what we said about the albums in the podcast but I think I should have put untitled just a little bit higher.

Issues is God Tier, no other Korn album can touch it

untitled is defintley when I stopped staying up to date on korn. they've last three or so albums have some good tracks imo
Damn dude,different 2 my list but WE BOTH LOVE KORN SO THATS ALL ❤🤟🤟🤟
Goddamn that thumbnail makes JD look like the metal version of Ted Cruz. 😂 🤣 - Solid ranking, though. 👌🏼
hahahaha They say make the thumbnail look odd don't they
imo life is peachy and requiem should be swapped
I feel like LIP would have made a fantastic EP but there's too much filler and silly songs on it.
Life is Peachy and Follow the Leader should be way higher.
are you high puting untouchables so low?
Sadly I'm sober enough to realise it isn't all that. We get into it all on the podcast

I think Take a look in the mirror is the best, Follow the Leader should be higher
Self Titled: S tier. Everything else between E and F
It's a take for sure. I think the self titled is more accessible to non nu metal fans
Issues is great

I forgot korn existed
I'll just be nice and say your list is interesting. I think Requiem is their worst album by far.
Thank you for being nice then haha
