Korn is a controversial topic among metalheads. The band is hated by lots of people, yet it is still respected by others for getting many fans into metal, and also because of their first releases, which are much more appreciated than the later works. "Issues" is the last of Korn's classic albums and at the same time the first one to be closer to alternative metal instead than the rap stuff from the previous albums. The band was able to release a good album even when they were at their highest point in the mainstream world, after another Billboard-and-that-kind-of-stuff hit "Follow The Leader".

What make this album annoying is the contless amounts of fillers one-minute-davis-speaking-tracks. Otherwise it could be a great play.

Korn were one of the few Nu metal bands that were massive during my teens, that I actually quite liked, it's a shame I never really listened to them a great deal, perhaps I should of done, I think I could of actually got into them during that time.

For me this album has a solid start with "Falling Away From Me", being the best track on the album, and arguably one of Korn's best ever tracks. There are several impressive moments that follow, but unfortunately the quality quickly wears off, and the last couple of tracks are very poor imho, and could of been cut out entirely. But overall I like the sound, and the lyrics most of all.

It's funny you'd say that, as my opinion is pretty much the opposite: I've always thought this one was their most consistent album in terms of the overall quality of the songs (interludes excluded of course), and that Let's Get This Party Started and especially Counting and Dirty were the strongest songs here. These last two are actually among my favourite Korn songs ever.

"Let's Get This Party Started" is one of my favourite songs on the album along with "Falling Away From Me", "Trash", "Somebody Someone" and "Make Me Bad". I wasn't as keen on the rest, but I agree that overall this is a pretty consistent album, compared with other releases they have done. I will have to listen to it more.

An underrated album in Korn's discography and Nu Metal as a whole. This absolutely trumps over Follow The Leader. It's got a really dark sound and the waves of riffs on tracks like Trash are just *chef's kiss*

My favourite Korn album with the debut. Where J. Davis really started expanding his vocal range and the whole band got their shit together in terms of songwriting, flow and atmosphere.
