The first album was even dirtier and had their best songs overall (see Predictable) but this is the one I put on when I feel like listening to KoRn. Follow the Leader and Issues both had some good songs on it, Follow obviously having a bit too much rap and special guests, but Issues seemed to be moving in a nice direction, though it also had too much filler/interludes. Everything after that is devoid of even a single gem. Still a great band, and it's worth noting that Munky and Head are cited by anyone who is serious about music as revolutionary guitar players. They may not be technically "great", but some of the sounds they use are amazing... imagine, a "metal" band with very very few stereotypical metal riffs. A.D.I.D.A.S. for example has one of the UGLIEST riffs in history... anyway.. great record. The drummer is god.

this is true. It is actually sad to hear them still try without head, cuz it is entirely missing his parts. its like, they didn't even try to replace him. no it is just munky's chords, without head's riffs. terrible. these cats contributions are significant, though they went out in bad form, had they retired before 2000, they would have went out musically on top, however they opted for socially and economically, and so continue to surf the wave of commercialism where anyone who sold platinum can continue to sell out a venue. just check out the god-awful lineups at tickemaster's website to see that the good dont die young at all, in fact they age terribly into the future. god bless sonic youth for actually progressing rather then digressing into oblivion.
