he was too busy thinking about playing his bass upright while doing a headbob.

[floatingslowly]

I have no such handicap.

I've been trying to get more interested in the early 2000's "Rock and Roll Gangster" musical movement. Could anyone recommend me any good cds?

[Everyneurotic]

here's my opinion on korn's discography that i know:

s/t: this has their best songs and they go at it like if they were about to beat someone who yelled "limp bizkit sucks!". amazing delivery and pretty much their best all around.

life is peachy: much darker, sparser and weird, the band does less songs and more atmospherics, but they still can rage. they should have stayed in this road, the only throwaway is "a.d.i.d.a.s." and became their big hit.

follow the leader: a big disappointment and the beginning of the end, super smooth production and a lot more sampling, crippling both guitarists sonic explorations, most of the riffs are handled by fieldy (which is now more than clear he was the weakest tit in the band) and jonathan lacks any rage compared to the other two. still, "got the life" and "freak on a leash" are good singles, "dead bodies everywhere" and "justin" are amazing songs and it's mostly solid with some filler. their cover of cheech and chong's "earache my eye" is pretty cool too.

issues: a left turn, the band decided to change their songwriting approach and worked pretty much well; lyrically it's weaker, the delivery isn't as brutal but the songs are more well done. as adam noted, it has many interludes and bridging songs, but still, a step ahead after the ones taken back on follow the leader.

beyond: a big dump of shit.


and, while around the fur is one of my favorite records, i think korn in their prime, before 1998, were much better than the deftones besides atf. now both bands are awful of course.

ps: anybody else noticed fieldy's bass tone? it sounds like he plugged into a car speaker that's shorting and it's that way for the most part of their discography, didn't anybody in the studio notice this?

At the risk of indulging your tireless hyperbole, there are some mighty fine guitar bits on this record. They do the thing that SY do of having interlocking bits rather than lead/ rhythm (or whatever)... more of a group effort + singer than 'guitar hero 1' + 'guitar hero 2'. It's almost a shame how about four million bands stole wholesale from this record to the point where it's almost impossible to hear it as any good these days.

anyone that kn ows anything about bass knows the guy who did this album

 

is amazing at what he does.
