To be honest...I dont wanna go too far and insult some musical tastes here, but well...I lost interest in Korn about last summer. I look at the lyrics of their new stuff too and it's just really immature. A lot of Jon's stuff is immature, and now that I'm free from my Korn obsessed friend I can say that. I'll shutup here..I just..really lost interest in them a while ago.
Never really liked KoRn that much before this album, I listened to Freak On A Leash a fair bit thats about it but Im liking this album alot
These lyrics are a lot more mature than most of their stuff. I mean, look at Hypocrites: "Weeping rose of jeramiah Drops of blood drip off your mantle Representing all our cheers In a ring of burning metal How you gonna be? what you gonna say? It doesnt bother me, who you gonna pay! Sorcerers and sadists come to define the what and why People travel across this earth Over water land and sky" Yeah, there are songs with immature lyrics like Getting Off or 10 or a 2-way but this album has mature songs.
I actually like a bit of the lyrics, but I just don't like the way the album's constructed. Over half the songs just bore me to death. Some have a few good hooks, like "Twisted Transistor" and "Politics", but other than that it's something you listen to and forget by the time the next song comes on -- it's nothing I can really get into, it's all so bland.
Yeah, I see what you guys mean. Like, Im getting tired of Getting Off, Politics, and Souvenir. The songs with the best hooks are Twisted Transistor, Hypocrites, Liar, and Love Song. EDIT: I just realized that I said I was getting tired of Getting Off...
I'm with Ant, although the album is beginning to grow on me, well atleast some songs, but I doubt it's going to become anything special.
I listened to it only once and I couldn't get to the end. Which is a bad sign actually. I dunno, I tried liking the album, but it seems that I can't. Which is a major disappointment since Korn was the band that got me into rock music for good.
Definitley more mature than "All day I dream about sex! All day I dream about fucking!" and "So you're from Jacksonville, kickin' it like Buffalo Bill. Gettin' butt-fucked by your uncle Chuck, while your sister's on her knees waitin' for your little peanut."
Hey, don't rip on "All In The Family". Great song...remember me and one of my old friends singing the entire song together
