Korn is amazing because any of their albums can be someone’s favorite. However, considering the first record anything less than a masterpiece is crazy. It started an entire genre, so for that alone it will always stand the test of time.

Release the Kraken! Korn III was named that I believe because Untitled was supposedly the second self titled album. Life Is Peachy is my favorite, it’s so gnarly. I think that if you took the best tracks off Issues and Untouchables and put them in one album you’d have a great album. The production on Take A Look… is confusing and bad I think. Follow The Leader is good but not my favorite and I’d add Pretty, Reclaim My Place, Justin to the list. The first album is a classic. On Korn I find some parts hold up others don’t, but I still love it Ball Tongue slays. The other albums I got outta the game awhile, but returned with Head rejoining. The newest albums are good, but not overly great. I do agree that JD’s performance on The Nothing is terrific. I’m still a fan after all these decades and am still excited about the new release. However, I’m lowering my expectations a bit more each new album it seems.

[@silverobscene5935]

Weird, I think Issues and Untouchables are better records than follow the leader. With Untouchables being what I think is their best album. Dont get me wrong follow the leader is a great record, but it feels a bit uneven at times. And I think this is the first time someone has said that life is peachy is a bit superior than the self-titled. I feel that their was more maturity on Untouchables that many non korn fans would have taken it back by it. Follow the leader is a double edged sword for the band because on one hand it's what people like about them and what korn haters don't like about them. It's the popular record and people think that's what they only do. I know this a long winded comment but thanks if you read it metal meltdown. Oh and issues has a more pop feel to it than follow the leader does so I do disagree on your opinion. It just feels different.

[@HighTimes42071]

Untouchables is trash

I’ve been listening to KoRn since a young age. I’d say they are the one of the first few that started my journey in metal. As now that their 30th anniversary is around the corner I have made a Top 50 songs playlist by them, of songs that truly speak to me. I love KoRn & forever will be Korny af🌽❤️

[@Ozzy_Dio]

for me Korn III is one of the most underrated metal albums in general, the voices on this album are at their highest level and the instruments sound very good especially the synthesizers that are heard on certain songs like Move On or The Past, album amazing possibly my favorite from Korn.

[@jamesadams6626]

I agree. Funny I always kept up on release dates like most of us with our fav bands So not only I miss it I don’t even listen for another 2 yrs. but once I heard it wow different feel few Heavy but melodic songs Definitely underrated 🔥🔥

[@nucygnet5881]

My fav album is The Nothing, definitely the album that i needed during my life. I love The Path of Totality, it was the album that introduced me to Korn!

[@markhynes1940]

I love The Nothing, most listened album, artist, and song (Cold) of 2019 when that dropped. Something about it just has such a bleak and ominous sound, it really captures the feeling of the album's namesake, which is that some unknown unseen force is constantly looming over you and making you depressed, but in reality it is Nothing.

[@TheRickARooster]

Their debut is by far my favorite I love the riffs and consistent tracks and heavy performances, can’t wait to see them live in a few weeks

[@thelastdaybreathinginetern1385]

KoRn!!!!!! I love all of their albums, and their past two albums are amazing. I love each album.. KoRn means so much to me..

[@AnotherSinAbove]

all I can really think of, is that Korn III is called Korn III because they have technically 2 self-titled or untitled albums, so I guess it's supposed to be their third self-titled album or third untitled album maybe? I don't know

[@noah-wb4mz]

3:40 id argue that ozzy osbourne broke a lot of ground for artists being open about their emotions. some of his most iconic songs, like rock n roll rebel, goodbye to romance, mama im coming home, crazy train, and diary of a madman, are about him revealing who the price of darkness really is

To add to your if Korn wrote for a horror movie statement..

Props for the Korn III praise. I see a lot of fans consider that one of their worst albums, but I think it might be my personal favorite

[@dwsofficial_]

(18:40) reason it’s called Korn III was cuz the untitled was also known as Korn 2 because the band didn’t put a title on it

[@SurferCaliSoca]

dig the review and the honesty man! Korn has always been in my Top 10. Also "Korn III" is titled that because it was the 3rd time they worked with Ross Robinson ( self-titled and Life is Peachy were #1 and #2) just to answer your question why :) My score for each album: Korn 9/10 Life Is Peachy 3/10 Follow The Leader 10/10* Issues 9/10 Untouchables 10/10* Take A Look In The Mirror 6/10 See You In The Other Side 10/10* Untitled 7/10 Korn III: Remember Who You Are 5/10 The Path To Totality 4/10 The Paradigm Shift 8/10 The Serenity Of Suffering 10/10* The Nothing 6/10 Requiem 3/10

[@Leves789]

I think you're the first person I've come across that doesn't hate Korn III, I might have to revisit it now:D I think Korn's records in the 2000's would've benefitted greatly by just cutting some of the weaker stuff from the bloated tracklists, I actually love a lot of songs on Take A Look In The Mirror and Untouchables, but I never really want to listen to them in full. Except for The Path Of Totality and See You On The Other Side, those records suck absolute ass through and through imo.

@Theprisonmetaller Dude... I can understand your scoring of Path of Totality, (though I dont agree with it as i thought it was a really cool and unique album) because if you are strictly a metal head then Path of Totality will not appeal to you.... BUT DUDE.... 1.5 for KORN III !!??!! Was that a mistake? Because KoRn III : Remember Who You Are Is easily their most old school sounding album BY FAAAARRRR. It literally is them in their original element. And you know why? Because it was produced by Ross Robinson, who produced their first album. And it shows. He brought that wonderful emotion of anger and pain out of JD that he has been missing for too long. The album is LOUD and not over produced like too many of their albums. The vocals were up front and the instrumentals were thankfully not muted. ALL the sound was pushed up front and popping!! If any one of their albums deserves a 1.5 OR LOWER it is Take A Look In The Mirror. Total garbage. There is not ONE song on that album that I relate to and would put on my play lists that I make when i take 2 songs from each album... Next album for a 1.5 rating or lower, Serenity Of Suffering and Paradigm Shift. Atleast however there is ATLEAST one proper song from each of those albums.

It was the Summer of 1996 and i got to go to a big festival to see some of the biggest metal bands at the time. The Second act of the day was Korn and I could see members of the bigger acts standing on the sides watching the set. Everyone around me including myself was floored. After the festival I couldn't wait to tell everyone about this crazy band who hands down stole the show. Over the next four years i seen them five more times and the crowds got bigger and you seen way more Korn shirts. Up to this point I never seen a music video or any Korn on the radio. The Scat in the early days plus the Freak out was something to witness. Then Follow the Leader came out and all hell broke loose. The term "Nu Metal" is BS and it's super easy to prove by looking at The bands in the that Nu Metal group. Korn was huge before FTL and after FTL came out the Stations had no choice but to play them. The same people that came up with that term also gave Nickelback the award for Best New Artist when they were already a band for 16 years before that. I understand you like your bands to have the same sound album after album. The build up to every album korn put out was that The band was trying new sounds and experimenting with new ideas minus the albums that when back to the Slow Dirty Sound. I respect your opinion and happy you had taken the time to listen to them all.

Korn is ultra original..there was literally nothing like it. 7 string guitars tuned a full step down…just heavy and grimy. I’m just trying to say this kid is showing his age if he had a problem with the music side of the fist album lol. It’s THE thing that makes it good.

@@dedkat7 'offensive' lmao

[@jonmarinos7170]

Issues is my favorite album 😅

[@ajfrance-thehungergamescol3993]

I must be the only person that actually, unironically and enthusiastically loves Path of Totality 😂 Not sure if it's nostalgia bc I became a fan of Korn in 2011 or what but I thought it was really unique and different in a way that I really enjoy. I also LOVE Paradigm Shift hahaha (idk if I'd classify either albums as my top favorite, but I definitely really love them) :) I've actually been loving all the recent albums (along with all the older ones). I just love Korn in general so much 😂

[@andrasprincz4287]

Don't worry, i love Path Of Totality aswell!😁 Almost every song is a banger! The only 3 i don't really like is Illuminati, Sanctuary and Bleeding Out.

[@Carbonisation]

Oh my...

[@jaelynk507]

Just realized, I would never be into metal if it wasn't for KoRn.

[@soapybsuds]

oh my god its korn

[@fari8034]

Korn was my gateway. They will have a special place in my heart forever but I grew out of them after Untouchables which I liked, but no where near as follow the leader and issues. Haven't listened to them since. Well guess imma check out Korn III now thanks to you. Cheers. What about grilled green asparagus though? Does that get a pass from you?

[@themetalmeltdownofficial]

A solid improvement on Asparagus, I look forward to seeing how their sound evolves.

[@nelsonshuchmacherendebo7688]

Unpopular opinion but I think Paradigm Shift is an awesome record. Some bangers on there for sure.

[@timsimpson6019]

2.5 for self titled is wild lol. I think musically it’s amazing and dark, and the mix is very real. Music today is so processed

[@cj_johnson9915]

Untitled is referred to as KoRn II by many so maybe KoRn just took that and ran with it into KoRn III

[@soulsava8456]

Edgy and stupid? How are songs about bullying, rape, drug addiction ect. Being an edgelord or stupid? It’s their first couple albums of a new type of music. He was pouring his soul out not trying to be a cool kid by being edgy. Sure the music wasn’t streamlined yet but it makes up for it in the raw feeling you get listening to it. I would agree if the “Korn” album was like their 7th the pain was still fresh of a terrible childhood. Calling his lyrics stupid is appalling

[@rossorange2592]

Korn are all lyrics, no music. They’re okay musicians

[@dedkat7]

​@@rossorange2592no music? There's the door my friend

[@fiiuwu]

I am super late to this but this might be blasphemy for me to say, but The Nothing might be my favourite them. I aknowlegde how kind of cookiecutter it is in songwriting but it's super entertaining and catchy for me still. And like you said, Jonathan Davis really sells it!

[@TRexLord152169]

an interesting perspective for sure. as a fan myself there are defs moments where i agree and disagree to a pretty hard extent. Namely, I was *shocked* to hear that you enjoyed the Untitled album as much as you did. I almost *never* hear anybody mention it which is a shame because I do enjoy it as well. I do have to disagree with Untouchables, though, I feel like that album was the peak of Korn in the earlier days, the last truly great album they released before things got w e i r d.

[@aaryamannambiar6677]

Absolutely agree with you on Jonathan Davis's overall performance on The Nothing. He really proved to everyone that he's still got a powerhouse of a show for Korn fans, even today. However, I disagree with you on Korn 3. I think that's their one boring, terrible album in their catalogue. I even like Path of Totality more! But mad respect for you to be doing a Korn discography breakdown in such detail. You spoke so damn well!

[@kiko6217]

Not that it would make the song better, but the song “Kunt” was actually a prank. They wanted to see if radio stations would censor all of the words, which would make the track essentially an instrumental.

[@BluejaySpectre]

Dude, I like asparagus more than sweet potatoes.

[@Norg1]

i named the untiled album Turn the crank i think korn wanted the fans name it

[@nemesis8626]

Also it's kind of funny you said korn 3 sounds the most authentic, John Davis in a interview said he didn't like this album and feels its korns worst because it felt the most forced and he didn't want to write an album like that but Ross Robinson forced them too and it took him to the dark side of the first albums he didn't want to revisit, and he wanted to carry on down a more experimental record so he wasn't fully into it. he also stated Untouchables was his favourite and the one he put most of his effort into and as a band and definetly money towards production.. they paid out big time lol. Good rankings tho

[@wojosquad4680]

This man seems like a man who likes a more poppy Korn album if you dont like them

[@rcurl44]

Ahhh The Kraken. A man of many good tastes

[@Le-Monade]

My list: Self titled-3.5 (Outdated production and some repetition, but an AMAZING ALBUM for it's time, I still personally love it.) Life is Peachy- 4.0 (The grungy feel, plus the raw emotion of the first two albums are what make them special, not to mention David's drumming on these albums, which in reality is PHENOMENAL, and doesn't get enough credit.) Follow the Leader-3.0 (I hate to say this, but some songs on this album are too corny and outdated to bear, and should definitely be left in the late 90s. 😂 That being said, there are a few timeless hits such as Freak on a Leash/Got the Life. Seed is very good too.) Issues-4.5 (Very creepy and atmospheric, with darker lyrical content. Sadly, this is the album where they purposefully dumbed down David's drumming, which I hated. That being said in my opinion still my second favorite album.) *Untouchables*-4.5 HEAVY *Take a Look in the Mirror*-2.0 A very watered down, repetitive Korn album. However I loved the songs Did my Time and Play Me. *See you on the Other Side*-5.0 (Unpopular opinion, but my favorite album from them. Extremely atmospheric, experimental, creepy/heavy/groovy all at the same time, clean percussion as you said, great vocal performance from Jonathan Davis, probably his best work and at his prime.. Though Head wasn't on the album, who's my favorite member of the band.) *Untitled*- 1.5 Honestly their worst album to date, there's a few great songs on that album, but clearly their creative direction was lost, now that the drummer and lead guitarist left the band. *Korn 3 Remember Who You Are*- 2.0 It was a very heavy record, but it's honestly pretty forgettable. Note: I've lost interest in any other Korn albums since Korn 3, and haven't listened to any of their new music until they released The Nothing and Requiem. *The Nothing*-4.5 AMAZING. Great performance on vocals, was very impressed. *Requiem*- I still have to give this album a full listen, but so far I'm liking it. I'll have to go back and finish the rest of their discography, that being said Korn is my favorite band of all time. Most of their albums I gave an above average rating, but that's just because I love their music beyond belief lol. Great review though, interesting to see a different perspective!

[@Jackadiah]

I feel like I’m the only one who likes Path of Totally 😅

[@Soullessservant]

Same

[@dedkat7]

I also like it. I also think their debut is overated af

[@Meshuggapeth]

Korn: B LIP: B Follow the Leader: A Issues: S Untouchables: S TALITM: A SYOTOS: F Untitled: C III: B POT: A PS: C SOS: S Nothing: A Requiem: C

[@MoshpitPassion]

DAMN! I had the same idea for our German community. I uploaded the video and is on privat mode. :D. I will watch yours and see what your ranking is

[@themetalmeltdownofficial]

Oh nice! I look forward to seeing what you have to say then.

[@xxbos5xx]

Cool shirt My favorites are life is peachy and korn I think issues is their best though I think it is very different with their heaviest stinkiest riffs and funky dj sounds through out the whole thing I don’t really understand follow the leader it just kinda looses me after got the life when the songs stop sticking out or sounding different Great video

[@gabix7488]

Their best 3 albums are their self titled, Issues and Untouchables. Some people love one or the others, but nothing in their catalog beats those 3. Life is peachy its a mess, Follow the leader has those rap collaborations that killed the flow I also love The Nothing and SYOTOS , an album that very few like
