Issues and Untouchables are both masterpieces to me.

Take a look in the mirror is catchy AF for me, the whole album holds my attention more than any other

My heart dropped when you gave Self-Titled a 2.5/5 cause it's my favorite album of all time. But overall great video.

Issues is by far my favorite Korn Album. I love the production, the performances, and the lyrics. It also has some of my favorite Korn songs such as Make Me Bad, Beg For Me, Somebody Someone, Wake Up, and Counting. I also thought the interludes were really cool as well with It's Gonna Go Away being one of my favorite interludes ever. For me it's a 5/5 album, but i see how it can be forgettable for some early Korn fans. Great video Metal Meltdown!

Weird, I think Issues and Untouchables are better records than follow the leader. With Untouchables being what I think is their best album. Dont get me wrong follow the leader is a great record, but it feels a bit uneven at times. And I think this is the first time someone has said that life is peachy is a bit superior than the self-titled. I feel that their was more maturity on Untouchables that many non korn fans would have taken it back by it. Follow the leader is a double edged sword for the band because on one hand it's what people like about them and what korn haters don't like about them. It's the popular record and people think that's what they only do. I know this a long winded comment but thanks if you read it metal meltdown. Oh and issues has a more pop feel to it than follow the leader does so I do disagree on your opinion. It just feels different.

Release the Kraken! Korn III was named that I believe because Untitled was supposedly the second self titled album. Life Is Peachy is my favorite, it’s so gnarly. I think that if you took the best tracks off Issues and Untouchables and put them in one album you’d have a great album. The production on Take A Look… is confusing and bad I think. Follow The Leader is good but not my favorite and I’d add Pretty, Reclaim My Place, Justin to the list. The first album is a classic. On Korn I find some parts hold up others don’t, but I still love it Ball Tongue slays. The other albums I got outta the game awhile, but returned with Head rejoining. The newest albums are good, but not overly great. I do agree that JD’s performance on The Nothing is terrific. I’m still a fan after all these decades and am still excited about the new release. However, I’m lowering my expectations a bit more each new album it seems.

I’ve been listening to KoRn since a young age. I’d say they are the one of the first few that started my journey in metal. As now that their 30th anniversary is around the corner I have made a Top 50 songs playlist by them, of songs that truly speak to me. I love KoRn & forever will be Korny af🌽❤️

Gotta say, being that Serenity Of Suffering was the album that made me give this band a second chance in the first place, I wish it'd been ranked higher, but in fairness I do see your point now that I've listened to most of their discography. Also mad props for your choice in rum, Kraken is exceptional 🤘🍺

13. The Path Of Totality 12. See You On The Other Side 11. Untiled 10. Follow The Leader 9. The Nothing 8. Korn III (Remember Who You Are) 7. Issues 6. Take A Look In The Mirror 5. The Paradigm Shift 4. Korn 3. Untouchables 2. The Serenity Of Suffering 1. Life Is Peachy Just my personal ranking.

Wow, we really have a different opinion, but is nice to see another points of view, this is my rank Korn - 4.5/5 Life is Peachy 2.5/5 Follow The Leader 4.5/5 Issues 5/5 Untouchable - 5/5 Take a Look in the Mirror - 3.5/5 See You on the Other Side - 4/5 Untitled - 3.5/5 Korn 3 - 2/5 Path of Totality - 3/5 Paradigm Shift - 3.5/5 Serenity of Suffering - 4.5/5 The Nothing - 5/5

Wow, great review video. I love how you break it down and explain things. Subscribing!

My actual rating and with my usual way of rating albums Also with some changed ratings with what I thought of these albums than what I did think of them previously, mostly on the middle part of their discography. Korn - 5/5 - 10/10 Life Is Peachy - 5/5 - My favourite Korn album 10/10 Follow The Leader - 4/5 - 9/10 Issues - 4.5/5 - 9/10 Untouchables - 4/5 - 9/10 Take A Look In The Mirror - 2/5 - 4/10 See You On The Other Side 3.5/5 - 7/10 Untitled - 4/5 - 8/10 Korn III: Rememer Who You Are - 4/5 - 8.5/10 The Path of Totality - 0/5 - 0/10 The Paradigm Shift - 4/5 - 8/10 The Serenity of Suffering - 4/5 - 8.5/10 The Nothing 4/5 - 9/10 And now Requiem - 2.5/5 - 5/10

My fav album is The Nothing, definitely the album that i needed during my life. I love The Path of Totality, it was the album that introduced me to Korn!

Great review video mate. I would agree on nearly 95% of what was said. Keep up the great work 💪🍻

I think you're the first person I've come across that doesn't hate Korn III, I might have to revisit it now:D I think Korn's records in the 2000's would've benefitted greatly by just cutting some of the weaker stuff from the bloated tracklists, I actually love a lot of songs on Take A Look In The Mirror and Untouchables, but I never really want to listen to them in full. Except for The Path Of Totality and See You On The Other Side, those records suck absolute ass through and through imo.

Review every album by Kiss! That would be a lot of fun. By the way, I just lately stumbled upon your channel and I love it!

Issues is where Korn peaked for me, love it. but in saying that i love it all.

KoRn!!!!!! I love all of their albums, and their past two albums are amazing. I love each album.. KoRn means so much to me..

dig the review and the honesty man! Korn has always been in my Top 10. Also "Korn III" is titled that because it was the 3rd time they worked with Ross Robinson ( self-titled and Life is Peachy were #1 and #2) just to answer your question why :) My score for each album: Korn 9/10 Life Is Peachy 3/10 Follow The Leader 10/10* Issues 9/10 Untouchables 10/10* Take A Look In The Mirror 6/10 See You In The Other Side 10/10* Untitled 7/10 Korn III: Remember Who You Are 5/10 The Path To Totality 4/10 The Paradigm Shift 8/10 The Serenity Of Suffering 10/10* The Nothing 6/10 Requiem 3/10

Finally some love for Untitled. Definitely some teen angst nostalgia for me(dropped my sophomore year of high school) but I still enjoy it today. 3.5 is what I give it as well

I’m really surprised you liked Korn 3 but imma listen to it again

I’d go crazy trying to do what you do, especially on this one… Respect! Could you do a discography review of either Nile or Cryptopsy in the future?

Hey Mr meltdown, would you consider a best/worst of deftones? A real unique band in that scene. I still listen to Minerva every day. Such an amazing track!

To add to your if Korn wrote for a horror movie statement.. Johnathan Davis did write a whole soundtrack for a horror movie called Queen of the Damned, because of copyright his vocals had to be covered by other metal artists on the official soundtrack but on the film its his vocal versions of the songs and he is on the film also

I think almost every Korn album is a masterpiece. The only one I fucking hate is Path To Totality. No joke, your review on Path To Totality took the words right outta my mouth. Other than that, everything they make is a masterpiece.

for me Korn III is one of the most underrated metal albums in general, the voices on this album are at their highest level and the instruments sound very good especially the synthesizers that are heard on certain songs like Move On or The Past, album amazing possibly my favorite from Korn.

3:40 id argue that ozzy osbourne broke a lot of ground for artists being open about their emotions. some of his most iconic songs, like rock n roll rebel, goodbye to romance, mama im coming home, crazy train, and diary of a madman, are about him revealing who the price of darkness really is

I've been a fan of Korn since Follow the Leader dropped. To this day I also think it's their best and I like something about all their albums. I really like your perspective.

Would love to see a type o negative video too!

Here mine: Korn - 4.5/5 Life is Peachy 4/5 Follow The Leader 4/5 Issues 4/5 Untouchable - 3.5/5 Take a Look in the Mirror - 2/5 See You on the Other Side - 3.5/5 Untitled - 2/5 Korn 3 - 1.5/5 Path of Totality - 0.5/5 Paradigm Shift - 3/5 Serenity of Suffering - 3.5/5 The Nothing - 2.5/5

It was the Summer of 1996 and i got to go to a big festival to see some of the biggest metal bands at the time. The Second act of the day was Korn and I could see members of the bigger acts standing on the sides watching the set. Everyone around me including myself was floored. After the festival I couldn't wait to tell everyone about this crazy band who hands down stole the show. Over the next four years i seen them five more times and the crowds got bigger and you seen way more Korn shirts. Up to this point I never seen a music video or any Korn on the radio. The Scat in the early days plus the Freak out was something to witness. Then Follow the Leader came out and all hell broke loose. The term "Nu Metal" is BS and it's super easy to prove by looking at The bands in the that Nu Metal group. Korn was huge before FTL and after FTL came out the Stations had no choice but to play them. The same people that came up with that term also gave Nickelback the award for Best New Artist when they were already a band for 16 years before that. I understand you like your bands to have the same sound album after album. The build up to every album korn put out was that The band was trying new sounds and experimenting with new ideas minus the albums that when back to the Slow Dirty Sound. I respect your opinion and happy you had taken the time to listen to them all. My shit talk would be it feels like that dude that binged Game of Thrones in a weekend so he can watch the series finale sunday just got go to work and join the conversation with the guys who grinded it out for years. I like your content and ill be back for more.

Korn was my gateway. They will have a special place in my heart forever but I grew out of them after Untouchables which I liked, but no where near as follow the leader and issues. Haven't listened to them since. Well guess imma check out Korn III now thanks to you. Cheers. What about grilled green asparagus though? Does that get a pass from you?

Korn is amazing because any of their albums can be someone’s favorite. However, considering the first record anything less than a masterpiece is crazy. It started an entire genre, so for that alone it will always stand the test of time.

Korn debut only album that made a real impact on the music world historically..

Props for the Korn III praise. I see a lot of fans consider that one of their worst albums, but I think it might be my personal favorite

Man that Kraken is a dangerous Bevy. I got so messed up on that before that I lost my shoe and got kicked out of a Mastodon show.

Me personal ranking would be: 1 The Nothing 2 The Serenity Of Suffering 3 Korn 4 The Path Of Totality 5 Follow The Leader 6 The Paradigm Shift 7 Requiem 8 Untitled 9 Take A Look In The Mirror 10 See You On The Other side 11 Korn III: Remember Who You Are 12 Issues 13 Untouchables 14 Life Is Peachy

Horns self titled changed my life the raw emotions the sound I agree with some of your views on the album but I felt it gave it a lot of charm.

all I can really think of, is that Korn III is called Korn III because they have technically 2 self-titled or untitled albums, so I guess it's supposed to be their third self-titled album or third untitled album maybe? I don't know

The paradigm shift is a great album! All albums after that are killers for me! But really appreciated anything you said and I agree in many things what if Korn is one of my top 5 bands

I once cooked Korn on the cob using a Skillet. Pretty tasty.

Just listened to there entire discography myself, I pretty much agree with most of your rankings except for Korn 3 I can’t remember that album to save my life. Anyways though good job Meltdown 👍🏻

Korn 3 being a 4 and Self titled being a 2 is CRAZY

Korn- 3.5 Life is Peachy- 3 Follow the Leader- 3.5 Issues- 4 Untouchables- 4.5 Take a Look in the Mirror- 4 See You On The Other Side- 2.5 Untitled- 1.5 Remember Who You Are- 4.5 Path of Totality- 0.5 The Paradigm Shift- 3.5 The Serenity of Suffering- 4.5 The Nothing- 5 I'm sorry, I may be biased but I completely disagree with most of the scores on this video. Is their sound similar through their career. Yea, but that's what I love about them. They don't change their sound to appease to everyone. They know what their music is. There's no band that sounds like them and when you hear them you know it's korn. They do their style well and yea theyve had a few duds but over all I feel like they mature a lot with their releases and those first 6 albums are treasures to me. I understand the critisim with issues, Untouchables, take a look in the mirror. But overall disagree and I think they are fantastic records

A fair appraisal. Even as a fan, I have to concede they're a patchy albums band, and their admirable desire to experiment results in a lot of wonky tracks that don't quite work. Follow The Leader and Korn III are unusually consistent, and are my faves too.

Issues is my favorite album 😅

Self titled, untouchables, the nothing and follow the leader are among some of my favourites

Their first album will always be my favorite

Unpopular opinion but I think Paradigm Shift is an awesome record. Some bangers on there for sure.

Ahhh The Kraken. A man of many good tastes

14 - Untitled 13 - Remember Who You Are 12 - The Path of Totality 11 - The Paradigm Shift 10 - See You On The Other Side 9 - Take a Look In The Mirror 8 - Life Is Peachy 7 - Requiem 6 - Untouchables 5 - The Serenity of Suffering 4 - The Nothing 3 - KoRn 2 - Follow The Leader 1 - Issues

You answered your Question on why Korn called the album Korn 3. A continuation of the sound of the 1st 2 records.

Oh my...

I am super late to this but this might be blasphemy for me to say, but The Nothing might be my favourite them. I aknowlegde how kind of cookiecutter it is in songwriting but it's super entertaining and catchy for me still. And like you said, Jonathan Davis really sells it!

I love Issues. Falling Away from me is my favourite Korn song.

Some good songs on Take a Look in the Mirror. Love the one with Nas, Did My Time is one of their best.

You should review every GWAR album ever! I'd like to hear your thoughts on my current favorite band since I've heard your thoughts on my teenage years favorite band lol

Take A Look In The Mirror is platinum to me. Btw it’s called Korn 3 is because it’s the 3rd album produced by Ross Robinson.

Wow, Life is Peachy better than the original? Hot take man. Also, Twist is so iconic come onnnn. Cool video though

DAMN! I had the same idea for our German community. I uploaded the video and is on privat mode. :D. I will watch yours and see what your ranking is

I must be the only person that actually, unironically and enthusiastically loves Path of Totality 😂 Not sure if it's nostalgia bc I became a fan of Korn in 2011 or what but I thought it was really unique and different in a way that I really enjoy. I also LOVE Paradigm Shift hahaha (idk if I'd classify either albums as my top favorite, but I definitely really love them) :) I've actually been loving all the recent albums (along with all the older ones). I just love Korn in general so much 😂

My list: Self titled-3.5 (Outdated production and some repetition, but an AMAZING ALBUM for it's time, I still personally love it.) Life is Peachy- 4.0 (The grungy feel, plus the raw emotion of the first two albums are what make them special, not to mention David's drumming on these albums, which in reality is PHENOMENAL, and doesn't get enough credit.) Follow the Leader-3.0 (I hate to say this, but some songs on this album are too corny and outdated to bear, and should definitely be left in the late 90s. 😂 That being said, there are a few timeless hits such as Freak on a Leash/Got the Life. Seed is very good too.) Issues-4.5 (Very creepy and atmospheric, with darker lyrical content. Sadly, this is the album where they purposefully dumbed down David's drumming, which I hated. That being said in my opinion still my second favorite album.) *Untouchables*-4.5 HEAVY *Take a Look in the Mirror*-2.0 A very watered down, repetitive Korn album. However I loved the songs Did my Time and Play Me. *See you on the Other Side*-5.0 (Unpopular opinion, but my favorite album from them. Extremely atmospheric, experimental, creepy/heavy/groovy all at the same time, clean percussion as you said, great vocal performance from Jonathan Davis, probably his best work and at his prime.. Though Head wasn't on the album, who's my favorite member of the band.) *Untitled*- 1.5 Honestly their worst album to date, there's a few great songs on that album, but clearly their creative direction was lost, now that the drummer and lead guitarist left the band. *Korn 3 Remember Who You Are*- 2.0 It was a very heavy record, but it's honestly pretty forgettable. Note: I've lost interest in any other Korn albums since Korn 3, and haven't listened to any of their new music until they released The Nothing and Requiem. *The Nothing*-4.5 AMAZING. Great performance on vocals, was very impressed. *Requiem*- I still have to give this album a full listen, but so far I'm liking it. I'll have to go back and finish the rest of their discography, that being said Korn is my favorite band of all time. Most of their albums I gave an above average rating, but that's just because I love their music beyond belief lol. Great review though, interesting to see a different perspective!

My ranking of all Korn Albums 1. Issuises 2. Korn 3. Path of totality 4. Follow the leader 5. The nothing 6. Requim 7. Untouchables 8. Serenity of suffering 9. The paradigm Sift 10.

20:55 The Path of Totality

this is my kind of content i have over 7000 hour listened to korn this year im a real korner

Absolutely agree with you on Jonathan Davis's overall performance on The Nothing. He really proved to everyone that he's still got a powerhouse of a show for Korn fans, even today. However, I disagree with you on Korn 3. I think that's their one boring, terrible album in their catalogue. I even like Path of Totality more! But mad respect for you to be doing a Korn discography breakdown in such detail. You spoke so damn well!

Cool shirt My favorites are life is peachy and korn I think issues is their best though I think it is very different with their heaviest stinkiest riffs and funky dj sounds through out the whole thing I don’t really understand follow the leader it just kinda looses me after got the life when the songs stop sticking out or sounding different Great video

I call their 2007 release the "Plague Doctor" album

Korn 3 -- was likely because it was the third of the "Untitled albums First album was "Korn".. Then the album before "3" was "Untitled" -- appearing to be another "korn" album title This would be the third one

Kornlll I like a lot !!🔥🔥

Korn III was named as such to go off trying to make it sound like the 1st albums like this one is no. 3 in the original Korn sound, and also it was the 3rd album without the original band.

I disagree with you so hard, yet it's been really entertaining to listen to your opinion from start to finish. You certainly have the qualities for a media entertainer.

oh my god its korn

21:25 to 21:43 you made me laugh so hard

S/T as a 2.5 hurts it's one of 4 albums I put as a 10/10(others being slipknot's S/T, TPAB, and Nevermind)

an interesting perspective for sure. as a fan myself there are defs moments where i agree and disagree to a pretty hard extent. Namely, I was *shocked* to hear that you enjoyed the Untitled album as much as you did. I almost *never* hear anybody mention it which is a shame because I do enjoy it as well. I do have to disagree with Untouchables, though, I feel like that album was the peak of Korn in the earlier days, the last truly great album they released before things got w e i r d.

i named the untiled album Turn the crank i think korn wanted the fans name it

KoRn first album is great

Issues is best korn album every song ıs a banger except Wake me

Also it's kind of funny you said korn 3 sounds the most authentic, John Davis in a interview said he didn't like this album and feels its korns worst because it felt the most forced and he didn't want to write an album like that but Ross Robinson forced them too and it took him to the dark side of the first albums he didn't want to revisit, and he wanted to carry on down a more experimental record so he wasn't fully into it. he also stated Untouchables was his favourite and the one he put most of his effort into and as a band and definetly money towards production.. they paid out big time lol. Good rankings tho

I feel like I’m the only one who likes Path of Totally 😅

Untitled is referred to as KoRn II by many so maybe KoRn just took that and ran with it into KoRn III

I got into KoRn in 1999, I can honestly say they definitely aren’t trying to reach a new audience. They make music for the die hard, my first tattoo was KoRn I won’t even argue with you. If you love them you love them, but if you still understand that they were a huge part of music then I can respect that. I always tell people when they ask me “how’s the new album?” I always say “if you’re a KoRn fan, you’ll love it”

If you want to hear Johnathan Davis do something interesting listen to his composing for the OST of After Dark The Physlosophers. Also a fantastic film

You got more hot takes on Korn than me thats saying something

Guns'n Roses did speak about feelings and a sort of life philosophy thing in their lyrics btw.

I agree follow the leader always #1

Reason it's called korn3 it's the third album produced by Ross Robinson

(18:40) reason it’s called Korn III was cuz the untitled was also known as Korn 2 because the band didn’t put a title on it

Untitled is koRn 2 I'd assume

Request: korn requiem

Here would be my rating of each Korn album. - Self-titled: 8.5/10 - Life Is Peachy: 7.5/10 - Follow the Leader: 9/10 - Issues: 8/10 - Untouchables: 7/10 - Take a Look in the Mirror: 7.5/10 - See You on the Other Side: 5/10 - Untitled: 4/10 - Korn III: Remember Who You Are: 4.5/10 - The Path of Totality: 2/10 - The Paradigm Shift: 6/10 - The Serenity of Suffering: 8/10 - The Nothing: 7.5/10

I’m sorry but issues is a 10

Korn - 5/5 Life is Peachy 2.5/5 Follow The Leader 3/5 Issues 4.5/5 Untouchable - 3.5/5 Take a Look in the Mirror - 3.5/5 See You on the Other Side - 1.5/5 Untitled - 3.5/5 Korn 3 - 2.5/5 Path of Totality - 3/5 Paradigm Shift - 3.5/5 Serenity of Suffering - 3/5 The Nothing - 4/5

I actually didn't think you were gonna rate Untitled and Korn III as high as you did I don't even think the fans mention those albums too much and I think I might listen to The Nothing album after hearing what your opinion

2 out of 5 for Issues?!?!? The heck?!?

I really can't take this seriously if untitled and korn iii are higher than untouchables, issues and korn. Surely this is a joke

Perhaps the untitled album was supposed to be Korn II, hence Korn III?
