The main thing I don't like about korn after the first album is that the lyrics feel so vague. The first album feels so deeply personal but everything after that, with some major exceptions, just feels like typical "you'll never understand my twisted mind" nu metal lyrics.
You don't understand jpegmafia uses chopped up vocal samples and raps in an annoying voice so this means he's way better than all these rageslop mumble rappers
Bonus points because if this album didn't exist then half of these songs would've been on iceman
Not really an album tbh. It's kind of just a cobbled together collection of scrapped songs from ayl and some unreleased singles rushed out for the shock value of 2 albums released only a week apart.

Music for people who unironically think that "mumble rap" is ruining hip hop
She is HORRIBLE at rapping. Genuinely abysmal. Like from a flow and delivery perspective one of the worst of all time.
When I first started to dive deeper into music as an artform, I didn't really care about finding my own taste. I thought that just looking at what albums people online liked would mean I had to like them. I gave these albums really high scores that I didn't really believe in because I just thought that's what good music was. If an album had an orange star on aoty, that meant it was objectively good and I had to rate it highly. It got to a point where I thought the if I only liked ... read more
An improvement on all fronts from the bleeding, a downgrade on all fronts from the other three albums before it.
New AOTY, makes sense there would be an album actually combining rage and punk considering every other rage rapper larps as punk anyway
