The Nu Metal pioneers, Korn have been putting out albums for some years now. While much of their fan base has dwindled, many of their albums are still talked about. So here is the question, what is your favorite album from Korn?

For me, I am going with 2002's Untouchables. This album showed Korn going in a new, more Avant-Garde direction. Maybe it was because of their Faith No More influence. Maybe they were wising up? Maybe it was a fluke? Not sure. But the opening track, "Here To Stay" might be my favorite Korn song ever.

So how about the rest of you?

I dpubt here ppl wil post a lot og but I wont wote because I dont like band and I neve rhad hear any albums only fiew songs and I dont like them so much to talk about them

I'd say Follow Teh Leader 'cause it has the songs that I liek the most, although it's a hard desition between FTL and Issues. I think FTL was the one that truly gave them fame and glory and money.

hmm i dnt like korn..!!!and the styl...

Haven't heard any whole albums with Korn yet...but I hope I can borrow some from a colleague of mine...then I'll return

It was a tie (for me) between follow the leader and the self titled.

"Issues" is a big reason why I'm into metal these days, so it gets my vote.

Their first album is the only album I like from them...the second one gets really weird and whiny with a lot of guitar experimentation that is very tedious and annoying...and then after that they just fall into mainstream modality...Follow The Leader has some alright songs...there are also some good songs on Issues but as a whole those albums don't quite add up as the first...they're probably good as a whole in a way that I'll never quite understand anymore...

i like follow the leader especially the song freak on a leash

I think Follow The Leader is the best successful disc of KoRn. The songs have very good sonorous arrangements and the production of the disc is very good.

I remember getting into Korn quite heavily at one stage about 10 years ago.... I say Issues is their best album, because its a powerful album lyrically for Jon Davis.. He put a lot in that album.

Untouchables was my favorite back in the day, but when I recently revisited their discography I found Follow The Leader the most impressive. There's something very dark about their albums I never noticed before. I remember when nu-metal was taking over TRL, with Korn as the front runners, and it was a very strange time...

the first one is the better one.. originallity is with korn anyway.

I liked KoRn, and Life Is Peachy the best. KoRn actually had some decent musical ideas/riffs, and some fairly proficient playing, and good lyrics. Life Is Peachy lost some of that proficiency, but gained some creativity, and had some truly weird stuff on there, which at the time, weird is good. Follow The Leader was okay, I liked the little joke song with Fred Durst, "All In The Family", so funny to hear Nu-Metals and rappers clowning on each other like that. Also, #22 don't remember the name, but #22 on FTL was their best song ever, in my opinion. And the little bagpipe thing on "My Gift To You" was okay. Issues was great lyrically, but musically it didn't deliver, and some songs lacked very heavily. That was when I quit listening to them, although I have heard their "Word Up" and "Another Brick In The Wall" covers, and I'm not thoroughly disappointed, especially with their version of ABITW, but not rushing to the store to buy the album. Not a bad band at all, honestly, just not enough musicianship and too much hype.

I was banned once about such post , ok lil shoreter for one week ask DSM aka Collin it was moust logest, ugliest and alcoholical 2 weeks in my life

Awwwwwww... you two guys are so rude!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I need an autograph.

...

Back on topic.. I can't decide right know because I havn't heard a lot from their albums... But the s/t has impressive shit.

I remember listening to the live performance of Right Now probably 4 years ago and I couldn't get off that song. There was also a great intro to it in that show. Then I got Take A Look In The Mirror and loved it. I'm not into any other Korn album at all, but this one will always be special.

A hard decision all in all, but I think that "Issues" is my favorite, mainly because of the whole atmosphere and the lyrics of the album. "Korn", "Follow the leader", "Take a....", and "Untouchables" are also really cool albums.

Untouchables was my first Korn album and it remains my favorite. i still listen to it occasionally. never heard all of their albums, should look into them tbh.

i am not the bigest fan of nu metal but korn is one of the few nu metal i like . my favorite korn album are self titled life is peachy follow the leader issues untouchables take a in the mirror and see on the other side . these are the best korn ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Korn" and "Favorite" simply can't stand in the same sentence.

Well would mind explaining the grammatical rule making that impossible 'cause I'm not aware of that...or is it just a stupid way of saying that you don't like Korn and therefore shouldn't have entered this thread since it's not about liking Korn or not?

just a joke...nothing more.
i don't dislike the band either....I just think they do 2/3 good songs in each record and tons of filler...but it's just a matter of taste

//When i had my brief KoRn phase my favorite album was Follow The Leader. I remember liking the songs Reclaim My Place and Justin. I think i just overplayed KoRn and they got old quick//

Back when I was into KoRn was before issues came out. But when it came, it immediately got me. So I voted for issues. The whole atmosphere, the sound, the guitar work, everything just fits. Althoug from where I'm standing now neither the band nor their music give me anything now. If it weren't for those childhood memories of couse
'Untouchables' introduced a more violent sound, and I still liked Jonathan's singing (watch 'queen of the damned' for reference) but with 'Take a look ...' the whole thing just went down. Imo they should have stopped after 'Untouchables.' That'd have made them legends. Now they just keep getting more with rediculous every release.

Well.. I think I was exaggerating. I'm not a fan of the band [although I really like their debut], but two guys already talked mindless shit about the band and I think it's just childish, I'm sorry if I read and answered to fast.

no problem, really. your answer has a reasonable tone: you have nothing to be sorry about
...and maybe my jokes are not that hilarious too

anyway i do think they did no good record to date (i have to admit i stop listenting a couple of years ago, though), but some very good songs here and there. they are the archetype of bands that do really need a "best of" compliation...

anyway: i voted for the first record too, maybe just because that was an innovation.
