Follow The Leader might be their biggest work but minus Freak on a Leash, Got the Life and Justin the album blows.

I always enjoyed:
I think when I saw them tour behind this album they opened with Dead Bodies Everywhere at Continental Airlines Arena. It was the tour where they had a "building" on the stage with different rooms and each member was playing their instrument in a different room. Cool setup. But yeah I feel like they opened with it and the place went nuts. But of course they did bc this was Korn at their height of their powers.
But yeah Pretty is fucked up
For those who didn't know, Jon used to be a coroners assistant back in his day.
And unfortunately, Jon had to see something really fucked up.
Specifically, a 14 month old child that was raped and beaten across a bathroom. Jon having to work on this child gave him nightmares and he wrote the song Pretty about it
Are you talking about Family Values 1998 (with Ice Cube, Rammstein, and Limp)? I was at that show. Dead Bodies Everywhere was played, but later in the set. At the time, I thought it was just about the best thing I had ever seen. But reflecting back on it 20 years later, that might have been the single biggest display of misogyny I have ever witnessed. First you get Ice Cube basically cursing the crowd out (everyone was either a b!tch, f@g, or n!g). Then Rammstein comes out and they were literally raping each other on stage with spraying dildos. Then Fred Durst comes out of a literal toilet spewing all sorts of hate. And Korn ends the night with a song called "faget".
no, but like...if you're going to put a word that has that kind of power behind it in a song, i would think you'd want to be sure that the people singing along with it aren't the same kind of people who used it as a weapon against you when you were younger. or just...you know, don't use the word in your song. find a different way to express it.
I was gonna bring that up too...but i was gonna wait on it.
Eh, I don't think that comparison holds up. Big Man With A Gun is so over-the-top and obvious. You have to be such a brain-dead bro to sing along to that in a non-ironic way.
I find all of the Run the Jewels albums to be immensely overrated even though I've loved almost all of El-P's solo work.
Actually within the realm of underground hip hop and the indie music scene in general, they're quite overly beloved. Hell, they just did a Rick and Morty video too. Ugh.
I like the production on those records as with most of EL-P's. Their bff stick is what's getting tiresome to me. I also loved EL's solo stuff much more - mainly because of its content and lyrics - they felt darker, more subtile, challenging, varied and less in your face, flat and braggadocious.
I'm sorry but I don't care for the Beatles. I respect their contribution to music and they're legends but they were one band I couldn't get into. I know I'm a heathen.
Yeah you're not alone at all. Not a fan in pretty much any way but I totally get it, ya know? Same thing with Pink Floyd.
Try listening to the second half of Abbey Road...the Beatles were the greatest band ever, second to none.

Only album I enjoy front to back by the Beatles is the White Album. Overall I don’t care for them but I also attribute it to not growing up when they were around. Retroactively the band is sooooooo boring to me.
