Korn - "Oildale"

Biography

KoЯn will never forget where they came from: a dark place where salvation arrives in the form of twisted, throbbing guitar riffs, syncopated chaotic funk beats, a schizophrenic bass thump and an unmistakable cathartic howl. Emerging from the depths of Bakersfield, California with a sound unlike any other in 1994, Korn have been able to cement themselves as one of the most important bands ...

Product Description

Amazon.co.uk

Love 'em or despise 'em, you've got to give Korn props for kick-starting a new metal movement that blends aggressive hip-hop rhythms with roaring hate-metal riffs. In the wake of the band's 1994 debut, many like-minded groups cropped up, including Deftones, Snot, and Limp Bizkit. But with the release of Korn's disappointing 1996 sophomore effort, Life Is Peachy, the imitators seemed likely to usurp the innovators. Maybe that's why Follow the Leader is so crafty and inspired. Instead of continuing on cruise control, Korn have diversified their formula, experimenting with mood and dynamics while intensifying their melody and noise thresholds. "Got the Life" blends a seductive disco beat and vocals reminiscent of Epic-era Faith No More with oppressive guitar chimes and squawks. "Children of the Korn" features a propulsive rap beat, throbbing bass lines, and angry guest vocals by Ice Cube. But just when Korn's groovin' psychedelic fury starts to make listeners see red, the band lashes out with "All in the Family", a hilarious rap-metal diss-fest duet with Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst, that proves Korn are much more than the sum of their rage. --Jon Wiederhorn

5.0 out of 5 stars The Way Forward 20 April 2000
Format:Audio CD
Korn's second album, Life is Peachy dismayed many by coming nowhere near the standard of the bands eponymous debut. This album caused the unbelievers to troop back into the church of the Korn for a jolly good spanking. Opening with It's On, Freak on a Leash and their best song, Got the Life is an excellent idea, it draws the listener to their new harder edged sound perfectly and sets them up for the worryingly titled Dead Bodies Everywhere and the all new rap rock of Children of the Korn. Featuring ex-NWA rapper Ice Cube. This is a brilliant track that stands out of an already excellent album. Things go on well enough until All in the Family, when things get better, another rap-rock track. Most people I have spoken to count this as one of their favourite tracks on the album. It is guested on by the ubiquitous Fred Durst of Multi-Platinum nu-metal superstars Limp Bizkit. Then on, through standard Korn fodder to Cameltosis, amusingly titled and slickly carried out, it is one of the lighter tracks on the album, but doesn't ruin the flow. Final track, My Gift to You starts with Johnathon Davis' fabled bagpipes and builds up into a devastating piece of metal. Special mention must go to hidden track, Earache my Eye, hilarious.

5.0 out of 5 stars Korn's Best Album 21 Feb 2006
Format:Audio CD
This is the best Korn album that has been produced. It was a change for Korn in that it was their first digitally produced album, abandoning the analogue recording method which may have been associated with the dirty sound which attracted many early fans to this band. The improved quality of the album adds to its enjoyment, and rather than losing the edge they had established with their earlier efforts (Korn, and Life Is Peachy) it merely adds a professional depth to their recording. Highlights on this album include the single, Freak on A Leash, and Seed, which is I feel their best song for its eerie stlye combined with the pounding chorus's asscociated with their later records, as seen in albums such as Take A Look in the mirror.

This album offers the best of Korn moreso than any subsequent Greatest Hits albums will offer. It is well worth a listen for any Korn fan or any fan of this genre.

5.0 out of 5 stars Korn Best Album! 20 July 2002
Format:Audio CD
This is definately Korn's best album I have had it for quite some time. It is slightly softer than Korn and Issues but that does not make it a bad album. The best songs are 'Freak On A Leash' which is Jon's song about hating the music business, 'Got The Life', 'B.B.K', 'All In the Family' which includes Fred Durst, 'Children Of The Korn'. Also 'Pretty', 'Dead Bodies Everywhere' and 'It's On' are good songs as well. Jonathon Davis does a lot less screaming in this than in his first studio album and this unlike Issues dosn't have any short filler songs so it is just pure music all the way through and I strongly recommend you buy this even if your new to Korn and if you are new to Korn then this would be the album I would buy to see if you like them.
The drumming is a lot better on this record than Korn and Life is Peachey. The guitaring is also more melodic rather than just chords.
