I saw a review that claimed that Korn's Issues was the "OK Computer of nu metal." This meant that it's one of the top albums in its scene because it's so good. Shouldn't their sound be less treated as a radio-sellout style than the emulators? Korn created the genre, so it qualifies as their sound. I'm not a big fan of the genre, but I believe every genre is an artform. I feel that this is because nu metal is simply misunderstood. Ironically, so is alternative rock in general, and yet, even modern plain alternative albums are often cited as the greatest albums of the modern age. I don't have to tell you that nu metal is one of the most radio-oriented genres of all time, and that it's criticized commonly because of its reputation. Fieldy's bass rattles like crazy on this album, yet the tone is so deep.Īn underrated album that I should listen to more often. The sarcastic middle-finger Y'all Want a Single is a classic jumpdafuckup banger. Everything I've Known and When Will This End follow suit. Did My Time opens with a sludgy riff right out of a Floor album, and a beautifully haunting bridge. While it's not as consistent as its two predecessors or two following albums, there's some favorites of mine on here. This is one of their albums that I've listened to the least, but it's really only because of how amazing what it sits between. There's even a rap metal song in the middle of the album like Life is Peachy, this time with Nas instead of Chino. It does have some of the melody of Untouchables, but a rawness more in line with the first couple albums. Instead of acting as a branch between the moody and trip hop inspired Issues and Untouchables to See You on the Other Side's industrial crunch, there's nothing electronic at all.
