Overview
Despite the heavy nature of Korn’s music, this album took their sound to a new level and was landmark in the evolution of Nu-Metal as a whole. Korn approached these songs with a heavier, more aggressive sound that also incorporated a greater sense of experimentation and collaboration. This unapologetically intense record captures all the teenage angst of the ‘90s. This is Korn at the height of their creative powers, and if you are looking for an album that expands the boundaries of textures and perspectives in the Nu-Metal genre, this is for you.
Recommended for classic metalheads looking for a unique and fresh experience.
