What does /mu/ think of Korn?

Korn [Epic, 1995]

The cover art depicts a frightened little girl on a swing set, the shadow of a menacing hook-handed rapist drawing near. The band loves this image and flaunts it in every trade ad as Sony flogs their death-industrial into its second year. They also sing about child abuse--guess what, they're agin it. But if their name isn't short for kiddie porn, then they should insist on a music video where they all get eaten by giant chickens. C+

Life is Peachy [Epic, 1996] *bomb*

Follow The Leader [Epic, 1998]

Korn deny they're metal, that's Judas Priest, all four-four pomp and solos. But they nevertheless demonstrate that the _essence_ of metal, an expressive mode it seems will be with us for as long as ordinary whiteboys pity themselves, fear girls, and are permitted to rage against a world they'll never beat, is self-obliterating volume and self-aggrandizing display. Calling up death metal's signature groan to prove he's authentic, poor not actually abused Jonathan Davis creaks, clicks, clacks, and emotes his way through dull licks, eerie bridges, and a hyperactive rhythm section. How much his fans identify with lyrics such as "I'll kiss your lifeless skin" and "You trick-ass slut" is unclear. But I'm parent enough to hope they find a more fully-formed designate than someone whose idea of social commentary is netcasting softcore porn to any teenager with a logon. C+
