Why does KoRn SUCK so [censored] bad now?

I picked up the new Korn CD last week. I've listened to it a couple times now. So far, absolutely nothing has stood out to me as catchy or cool.

I was the biggest fan when the first album came out. It was groundbreaking, original, and it spawned a new genre of music. Pretty cool.

That's all well and good, but they've not even come close to topping this album. Life is Peachy was ok, but pretty meh. Follow the Leader was actaully "good" but not outstanding.

Anyway I just wanted to rant for a bit. Its always a bummer when one of your previously favorite bands goes downhill. Is anybody actually still a fan?

Forgot to mention I'm aware that this is totally old news.... still I was kind of hoping they'd turn it around

didnt the self titled come out over 10 years ago?

davis et al are old now and seeing clips from old vs new shows they seem to have lost all their energy...i stopped listening to them after follow the leader...

They were so good for their first couple of albums then they just fell apart. Sucks a lot.

meh, they had more decent albums than most of the similar genre bands that came out during that time...staind, bizkits, etc...

When KoRn first came out they were the one band I just didn't like. I did see them live some time ago (and a few times since), and all has changed. I went and bought all past dics and eageraly awaited each new album. They have grown to become my favorite band and never failed to dissapoint. I will say when this newest disc came out and I heard it for the first time, I too was thrown way off by it. However after listening a few times and really getting into it, it has become my favorite dics EVER. They are definately a band you have to aquire a taste for, and I for one just can't get enough. New Korn = 10 stars hands down.
