Korn - The Serenity of Suffering
100

Now with more time to work, Head has a much greater influence here. Munky, Jonathan, and even Ray seem to have reached a perfect synergy in what Korn should be now. High-quality riffs, vocals explored in every way, and plenty of nostalgia.

Korn - The Paradigm Shift
80

This CD opens the doors for a triumphant return. With Brian's return, which had less influence (much had already happened, some concepts were already in place). Catchy choruses and a return of the groove leave a good feeling.

Korn - The Path of Totality
70

This work might be good for those who like electronic music and bad for those who want heavy metal. Considering the band's approach, it works. Unlike the last two, this one has well-crafted lyrics and good choruses. You'll want to sing along with Jonathan to "Get Up" or "Narcissistic Cannibal".

Korn - Korn III: Remember Who You Are
50

Korn tries to bring Ross back to reminisce about the old days with yet another strange CD. The sound lacks depth and feels like a demo. Almost no inspiration, I think.

Korn - [untitled]
60

A very strange album, like a fable or something. It has no weight to it, full of strange sounds. It's hard to understand what the goal was here. Unfortunately, the departure of another member may have been a factor.

Korn - See You on the Other Side
80

With a horror vibe, this album merely maintains Korn's status. It's not bad, it's not a masterpiece. A few top-notch singles hold the work together. Some songs that didn't make it onto the final version are better than the ones included on the album, such as "Eaten Up Inside". Munky does a good job on his own, but Brian's departure certainly affected the creative side.

Korn - Take a Look in the Mirror
75

Even though one of my favorite Korn songs is on the album and "Did My Time" also makes an appearance, this work falters a bit. Listening to the entire album can create the feeling that you're listening to the same song for 40 minutes.

Korn - Untouchables
100

For me, the best Korn album. Here we have, after Issues, a return to heavy metal. Full of anthems and super aggressive guitars. Jonathan continues to explore the lyrical side of his voice. The lyrics take a good leap in quality, Even though they were already great before, here we have a lot of maturity.

Seven Hours After Violet - Seven Hours After Violet
70

What happens when you mix nu metal with metalcore? This album happens. This promising project unites all the knowledge and creativity of a nu metal icon With the winds of the new generation influenced by metalcore. At times it gets a little confusing, as if they wanted to do everything at once, but it's a very good piece of work.

Cold - Superfiction
50

Here, there was a lot of influence from the vocalist's personal projects at the time, and some of the songs are strange. There's not much heaviness; the band reaffirms that it will stay in alternative rock or post-grunge. Some of the compositions have well-crafted lyrics, which has become rare since 13 Ways to Bleed on Stage.

Cold - The Things We Can't Stop
55

It's a very simple album, but it's pleasing because of the band's return after a long hiatus (yet another one). Amidst the frequent changes in members, the sound seems to have lost its way. Scooter sustains the nostalgia. The cover of "Run" and the release of the older song "Snowblind" are good highlights. It lacked boldness.

Staind - Chapter V
90

Here, Staind abandons the whole nu-metal idea to make an album for a Sunday afternoon with the family... And it works very well. It's a highly enjoyable record to listen to, But it somewhat disappointed fans who came from the earlier albums. I like both sides of Staind. This album introduced me to the band in the early 2010s.

Staind - Staind
60

It's a shame that the band's self-titled album is of such poor quality. This album gives the impression that the members were tired and released something purely for commercial reasons. The opening track is already tiring. "Something to Remind You" carries all the weight, while songs like "The Bottom" are just okay.

Staind - Break the Cycle
100

A masterpiece not only from the band, but probably from a production standpoint. It's incredible how well-crafted this album is. You have a much more mature Staind, releasing what is one of the best albums of the "new metal" era. Here, Aaron's vocals push the boundaries, both melodic and heavier. There isn't a single bad or empty song here; it's a "singles album" .

Architects - The Sky, the Earth & All Between
100

Probably the Metalcore album I've enjoyed the most in my life. Extremely heavy, with solid and memorable choruses. It's a very mature album, without the highs and lows of other releases from the band.

Staind - Dysfunction
70

It has a very underground vibe, like a band that's still forming. Many of the ideas that made Staind a world-renowned band already existed here. The "conversation" format In some parts it's good and in others it's strange. A major positive is the high quality of songs like "Me" and "Home".

Peyton Parrish - EvangelCore 1
70

It works well within its intended purpose, despite the somewhat awkward name chosen. It's a beautiful alternative rock piece, with some metal influences. The choruses are well-crafted and harmonize with the religious message.

Korn - Issues
80

This album, with a band that is already well established, allows Korn to explore some new things. Jonathan's vocals are developed in all areas, lengthening phrases and reaching almost feminine high notes. It's not a heavy album at all, perhaps only because of "Somebody Someone." The riffs are full of weird and cool sounds.

Korn - Follow The Leader
85

In this third album, Korn stumbles in some songs. If the first was for headbanging, and the second was more obscure (with some friends), this one is an album by friends (with a bit of obscurity). Some unforgettable songs are here, like Freak on a Leash or Got The Life. But this contrasts with some weak songs, like All In The Family.

Korn - Life Is Peachy
100

Here the band maintains its quality, addressing various sensitive topics and inviting some friends over to have some fun. The sound is darker and less headbanging than the first album, something "easier" to do with a successful debut album already released. In this album we see a bit more of Fieldy and guitars more focused on creating an atmosphere.
