Korn

No blog discussing the 90's would be complete without a hefty entry regarding korn. i'm not gonna lie, i thought this shit was pretty awesome back then. my brother bought the self-titled cd and we would listen to it in his bro'd out jeep wrangler. at the time that shit was the heaviest thing to ever happen to a set of rockford-fosgate subs. as time went on and the subsequent follow up albums were released, the whole schtick just got cornier (holy shit, i typed that and didnt even intend it as a shitty pun!) and stupider with other even stupider bands like limp bizkit competing for crown-douche status. i have to admit though, the video for "freak on a leash" was a definite watcher if not for todd mcfarlane's art, but for jonathan davis' retarded "omm-laa-laa-neema" bit. i tried to listen to the self-titled album with a friend of mine about a year ago and we couldnt get past "clown" without tears of hilarity streaming down our faces. do yourself a favor and try to relive this album that has NOT stood the test of time. its a real rib-tickler.
