Music reviews of Follow the Leader
Music Review: Not my style, but more consistant than their previous outing
Rating: 4 Stars
Lets get this up front right away--Follow the Leader is my least favorite album by Korn besides See You On The Other Side, I dont like the hip-hop thing, and too me its hard too distuinguish one song from another. With that said, its a step-up from Life is Peachy. The funny thing is I can't decide if I like LIP more, even though I know its inconsistant, LIP has some truley spectacular songs on it. Now you may be wondering why I am giving this album 4e stars when im criticizing it; It is all a matter of taste, I dont like the feel the album has to it, even though I know that it is more origional and has more consistancy than Life is Peachy, so its a better album. I would still take Good God over Got the Life, however:). Follow the leader is what propelled Korn to the mainstream, and made them true rock stars on the steam of Freak on a Leash and Got the Life, so I guess I have a lot to thank for this album. Anyways, lets go to the track listing:
1 Its On!: 8/10 A good start to a good album, I will be honest and say I dont really understand what this song is about.
2 Freak on a Leash: 9/10 I do not think that this song is overrated, its about how Korn feels like a freak on a leash to the record companies, using their pain and screwed up feelings to make money. Besides that, its one hell of a catchy song.
3 Got the Life: 8/10 I would give this song a lower rating, but I know its a good song. Its about how Korn already has it made, and I think it has something to do with selling out. I usually skip this one, but im probably in the minority.
4 Dead Bodies Everywhere: 8/10 for some reason I kept skipping this song, until a little bit ago I started listening to it. Its a really great song, even though the whole problems with stepmom were covered fully in Kill You on Life is Peachy. Takes a little while to get going, but the chorous is great.
5 Children of the Korn: 5/10 A great name, but I hate the song, MORE RAP!! UGGGHHH! I would say first dud of the album, but it seems to be a popular song, so they must have done something right.
6 BBK: 7/10 Not really a memorable song, but not bad, the chorous is all right.
7 Pretty: 8/10 A really disturbing song, maybe their most disturbing since daddy, because this actually happened. I wont really go into detail because im sure its already been covered. Makes you think what is wrong with this world. About the lyrics, the verse is hard to hear or get into, but I dont think they made this song to be catchy.
8 All in the Family: 5/10 The first time I listened to it I laughed a little, but it really gets old, as I am sure it will for all of you.
9 Reclaim my Place: 8/10 I may be in the minority, but I like this song, I can't really pinpoint really what, maybe its the bridge. hmmm
10 Justin: 6/10 Other than All in the Family, the first real dud of the album, I can't get into this song at all. The beginning is cool though, F*ck all that BULLSH*T!!
11 Seed: 9/10 Like Dead Bodies Everywhere, it took me awhile to actually listen to this song, but once I did I couldn't stop listening to it. The chorous is great, as are the guitars, which are really origional here.
12 Cameltosis: 4/10 Third dud, I can't get into this song at all, and I have tried. (thats my rule, if you dont like a song, listen to it 4 or 5 times to see if it grows on you). Another hiphop origion song that I hate.
13 My Gift to You: 8/10 Well, Korn had to fall short on a closing song eventually, and I think this is it. He cries a little like in Daddy and Kill You, but for the first time it doesn't really feel genuine. Still not that bad a closer, but it left me feeling disapointed for the first time on a closer. But, like all Korns albums so far, they have a hidden track/tracks, Earache my Eye, which I guess I will give a 7/10, kind of funny, there is also a few minute interview with Davis, talking about cigarettes/weed? Kind of a weird way to end it, but you can never blame Korn for being unorigional:)
Out of all Korn's albums, I have listened to this one the least, except for SYOTOS, and it will probably stay that way. This may have broken ground for Korn and allowed them to delve into newer stuff, but it wasn't pleasant for me. One thing, no matter what the taste is, Munky and Head start with the same-sounding riff on almost every song!!!! That is mostly absent from their other albums, and is really annoying here, especially if you have the songs mixed up. Recommended
Description of Follow the Leader
First 12 tracks are blank...music begins on track 13.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
