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

Just to let the Amazon guy know, the Deftones didn't follow Korn into being, nor were they influenced by their music. If anything, Korn was influenced by the Deftones, who came together in 1989. Shows what Amazon knows.
 great album, period July 9, 2008

This isn't a great nu metal, or whatever else you want to call it, album. It's just a great album. The most common complaints are that it's commercial (true), popular (true), and tired (I'll say debatable). There's nothing wrong with an album doing well; that is, just because the cheerleaders started listening to KoRn doesn't mean the album sucks. In fact, the theme of this album touches on how KoRn paved the way, which is also somewhat debatable. However, they did break ground in making people sit up and notice the genre.
What about the music? Well, every song on this album has great beats, innovative sound, and well-delivered lyrics. It's true that the lyrics don't seem quite as profound to me now as they did when I was 14, but not everything has to be poetry. Sometimes you want to listen to well-produced music with relatable - although dark - lyrics that you can dance, scream, and/or party to.

I have to say this is the best korn album this one and untoucables but hard too say that because all their albums went platnium and all their albums was great but this one is not just metal it has some rap from featured guest ice cube and fred durst. The all in the family song on this album was funny the way fred and johnathan was dising each other i just wonder why some people hate fred so much i know he's sometimes arrogant and cocky but thats not the reason to hate him or freds life was pretty messed up and thats the reason he sometimes acts arrogant and fresh but other than that this album was great.

It got here really fast. Too bad the CD doesn't even work. The seller was really helpful in that department though and got right back to me with suggestions and offered to refund it.
