Triumph of West Coast Hip Hop, a celebration of all its best aspects.

Best tracks: Sing About Me, Backseat Freestyle.

Weezer are The Beach Boys of the 90’s. This album is bittersweet pop perfection. Idk how they perfected all the ideas of 90’s pop rock into this one album.

Best Tracks: Only In Dreams, Say It Aint So, Undone
UNDERRATED PICK: In The Garage

Woah, this really might be their best since Issues. Most songs besides choice few are incredibly memorable, which is great from a band that often follows a very formulaic trend of songwriting, leaving many of their deeper cuts bland and forgettable.

To be honest, “Cold” had me scared for this album, as I think it’s one of its easily weakest tracks. Luckily this album picks the fuck up with a banger 5 track run, probably the bands most consistent track list run in years. ... read more

The first black metal album that has really clicked with me. Tackles the genre from a whole different perspective than I’m used to, and is genuinely just a jaw dropping album. Knows how to balance going the fuck off with moments of strong melody and rhythmic talent. My only complaint is ending with Soulreaper instead of Thorns.

Best Tracks: Night’s Blood, Where Dead Angels Lie, Retribution

One of the bands most “Korn” albums. Rotting In Vain is easily one of the strongest songs they’ve ever done, but nothing else comes close to touching that position. There isn’t much to say here, it’s a solid album.

Best Tracks: Rotting In Vain, Take Me, Please Come For Me

How Korn of them to drop a throwback album featuring some of their best songs in their career, as well as some of the worst garbage they have ever released.

The first two tracks are the strongest a Korn album has opened in a long time, but thru Fear is A Place-Let the Guilt Go, this album takes a total nosedive in quality, with Lead The Parade being the worst offender. God what a shitty song. Possibly one of the worst in their entire discography. Move On isn’t much ... read more

Korn’s biggest waste of potential. After the semi strong industrial tinged album that was SYOTOS, it makes sense they would try something like this, but it just doesnt quite land the right way.

There are good tracks here, but nothing absolutely phenomenal to boost the score up. Every song has a good idea, but many fail to execute on them, like Ever Be. How do you start a song with that menacing ass bass and then turn the song into some clown showcase targeted towards your previous ... read more

Korn swings back with a good album with hits, and some of their most unappreciated deep cuts. The industrial turn really works here and underlies the aggressive power the band has. Some of Jon’s best vocal work is here too. It’s a shame getting off and 10 in a 2 way plague this track list.

Highlights: For No One, Twisted Transistor, Throw Me Away, Seen It All

Korn puts out their first underwhelming album. This album plays into everything that Korn got made fun of for, and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. Did My Time saves this album from complete boredom, being one of the bands best, and Break Some Off sounds like classic Korn. But something is lost here, and I can’t exactly pinpoint it.

Best Tracks: Did My Time, Break Some Off

A weird comeback, with a lot of bad songs but a small batch of some of the bands best material. Songs like “Two Faced” will get your blood pumping like its 2000 again

Best tracks: Two Faced, Heavy is The Crown

It’s a step down, but its still really solid. A run of pretty great tracks in the beginning and some great highs, but a couple tracks in the second half dampen the tracklist. Cut the fat off and you find a much stronger album hiding beneath the bloat.

Key Tracks: Here To Stay, Hating, Hollow Life

Great album, but definitely the worst of their first four. That one track (we know which one) is easily the worst song in early Korn’s career, and im not super huge on Kill You either. Despite this it has some of the bands best riffing and drumming, and Good God might be their best song, who knows.

Best Tracks: Good Good, Mr. Rogers, Swallow

Just a near masterpiece. Would be one if Crawling wasn’t here. They mastered rhythm and perfect pop metal choruses.

Crushing ass debut by groove metal legends. They perfectly incorporate thrash on here and basically every song rips and is just awesome. Nothing more to say really

Best tracks: First 3, A Nation on Fire

Head’s return is fine. Korn does their thing here better than they have in a while, but besides a few standout tracks, there isn’t much to write home about. Luckily, there’s nothing horrible here like on most Korn releases, and some lackluster tracks are made alright with good choruses. I can still here the occasional dubstep flare-up tho… get it out bro

Best tracks: Love & Meth, Never Never

One of the most important albums of the 90’s.

An unbelievable disaster, I’m not sure what they were thinking here. I don’t know what else to say. The Noisia tracks aren’t horrible I guess.

Pure fun. Every track, even the notorious “All in The Family” is pure unabashed fun. The only slump here is the dreadful “Cameltosis” which brings the rating below Issues, where I would otherwise rate this higher because the tracks are just that consistent. If you want an energy boost, throw this one on.

Best tracks: Dead Bodies Everywhere, Freak on a Leash, Justin

Korn’s second best and a welcome turn into trip hop and industrial rock. They tone the aggression down and replace it with a cold and disturbing atmosphere and stronger pop fused song writing. probably their best produced and most complete sounding album. JD sounds amazing on this. The band never really got this strong again for the rest of their career.

Best Tracks: Falling Away From Me, Beg For Me, Dirty

unbelievable masterwork of alternative metal genre fusions and post rock. every song is memorable and impactful. near perfect
