Product Description

Love 'em or despise 'em, you've got to give Korn props for kick-starting a new metal movement that blends aggressive hip-hop rhythms with roaring hate-metal riffs. In the wake of the band's 1994 debut, many like-minded groups cropped up, including Deftones, Snot, and Limp Bizkit. But with the release of Korn's disappointing 1996 sophomore effort, Life Is Peachy, the imitators seemed likely to usurp the innovators. Maybe that's why Follow the Leader is so crafty and inspired. Instead of continuing on cruise control, Korn have diversified their formula, experimenting with mood and dynamics while intensifying their melody and noise thresholds. "Got the Life" blends a seductive disco beat and vocals reminiscent of "Epic"-era Faith No More with oppressive guitar chimes and squawks. "Children of the Korn" features a propulsive rap beat, throbbing bass lines, and angry guest vocals by Ice Cube. But just when Korn's groovin' psychedelic fury starts to make listeners see red, the band lashes out with "All in the Family," a hilarious rap-metal diss-fest duet with Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst, that proves Korn are much more than the sum of their rage. --Jon Wiederhorn
Review
...This is a mix of the comic, the disparate, and the desperate. -- Entertainment Weekly
Overall, this is a record that taps a sort of free-floating, mall-rat angst that is both insular and small-minded.… -- The Los Angeles Times
Power chord exercises like "Freak on a Leash," "Reclaim My Place" and "It's On" epitomize the band's volatile fusion of funky hip-hop, metallic rock and scream therapy. -- USA Today

'Follow The Leader' is a great CD. It has many great songs on it and is much heavier than 'Untouchables', but it isn't as good. 'Untouchables' was my first KoRn CD, then 'Follow The Leader', 'Issues', 'KoRn', 'Life Is Peachy' and now I finally got my hands on 'Take A Look In The Mirror'. I say that this CD is KoRn's third best album, falling behind 'Untouchables' and 'Take A Look In The Mirror'. Anyway, here's what I thought of each song:
Track 1-12: Empty.
13.It's On:Not a very good song.Don't know why this is the intro to the CD. 2/5
14.Freak On A Leash: A great song that starts off slow and builds up. 5/5
15.Got The Life: This should've been the intro. Excellent song. 5/5
16.Dead Bodies Everywhere: Song started off wierd, but I liked it. 4/5
17.Children Of The Korn:This song has a wicked good sound to it. I love it! 5/5
18.B.B.K: Yet another great song. It would have made a great single... 5/5
19.Pretty: Disturbing song, and not very good. I always skip it. 1/5
20.All In The Family: Funny song, but gets old fast. 3/5
21.Reclaim My Place: O.K song, but I never listen to it. 2/5
22.Justin: The chorus is good, that's about it. 2/5
23.Seed: Great chorus, but it moves too slow. 3/5
24.Cameltosis: Again, great chorus, but that's it. 3/5
25.My Gift To You: I never listen to this song. 1/5
Hidden Track: Earache My Eye: Never listen, but the beginning is funny. 2/5

This was the second CD that I got of Korn's (after Untouchables). I've read lots of reviews of this CD and not too many of them were really positive. Most of them were complaining about how they have CHANGED. A word that has been popping up a lot in the music world. Change.
Well, I, for one, am all for change. I except it. That's why Follow The Leader is one of my favorite albums by Korn. It has a strange pop vibe to it, such as in songs like Got The Life and Freak On A Leash. There's even a few rap songs on the album, like in "Children Of The Korn" and "All In The Family".
However, Korn doesn't just dump their metal sound. It's all still there. Even though Korn changed doesn't mean that they are a terrible band now. They still have rocking tunes and great guitar.
If you like Korn, definatly buy this CD, despite all the crap that people are saying about it. It's a great Korn album to have in a CD collection.

Korn will be remembered for this album....
...and for good reason. Korn stays heavy as in the first two albums, yet here takes the experimental route with the funk and rap. Read more

OK Performance, with Mediocre Writing
Mr. Saddo summed up the album pretty well. It becomes tedious after a few listens, as catchy as it may seem at first. Read more

good but not the best
This is my least favorite KoRn album, but that doesn't mean I hate it! The reasons why I don't like it too much are because tracks 1-12 are just silence. Read more
