Episode 24: Korn's "Follow the Leader", or 3 Gimmicks and a Classic

It's been almost two years since we covered a Korn album, and so the boys get down to business on what is likely the most important album in nu-metal history. It might have aged a bit weirder than you remember though, with some clear gimmick tracks mixed in with the bonafide hits and wonderful deep cuts you love. And we do too. This album absolutely rules. We discuss it all, from the funniest song on this album somehow NOT being one of the gimmick ones to the absolutely maximalist production to even more evidence that the guys in Korn just simply aren't all that bright. Bryan also shares the song on this album that he thinks is the greatest nu-metal song of all-time (and it's not what you think) and the guys give each other sweet gifts in the Challenge. Plus, we include a mini-review of the new Woodstock '99 documentary.   If you want some more mini-reviews, you can head on over to patreon.com/thepodkast, where we do 2 mini-reviews and one full-length review every single month. Last month, we were solo for a bonus episode as we reviewed Spike 1000's "Waste of Skin", a nu-metal album that seemed prime for stardom but never quite got there, and this month, we've got a review of some nu-metal covers with a very special guest you won't wanna miss. It's only $4 for 3 bonus episodes a month and YOU can pay US to listen to a single or an album of your choosing over there too. So check it out!
