So I’ve just finished a long overdue personal deep-dive as I FINALLY got round to checking out Korn’s entire back-catalogue, and while I can attest that these guys have released some proper blinding top-notch albums over the years, there’s just one overall problem with every single one ...

THIS:

They have NEVER produced ANYTHING that can truly compare to their truly astounding eponimous debut album, which is generally regarded as the record which gave birth to nu metal. It’s a stone-cold MASTERPIECE.

It’s angry, and it’s filthy, and it’s deeply fucked up, and it’s INCREDIBLY harrowing to listen to at times (not least the truly haunting closer, Daddy). It’s also fiendishly intelligent, thoroughly brilliant and, at least for the time, completely unique, a genuine game-changer.

NOT LEAST in the true standout tracks, Blind, Ball Tongue, Divine, Shoots & Ladders, Lies and Helmet In the Bush. Seriously choice cuts that STILL impress today after over a quarter century of imitations.

This year Korn released a proper blinder, Requiem, which is one of the very best records they’ve ever put out into the world. But it’s STILL not in the same league as their debut. And you know what? I don’t think they ever WILL come out with anything this good again. Some albums are just TOO INCREDIBLE to equal.

Like genuine musical lightning in a bottle ...

thinking abt the very specific and very distinguishable emotion these mangas bring about... the feeling of being trapped in a small town, the feeling where everyday is the same and it's driving you insane and all you can do is thinking about leaving the small town. but the small town is in you as much as you are in the small town. ever leaving sounds so incomprehensible because you would be leaving a part of yourself. but it fills you with a deep sadness to think about dying there. every person in this town is shallow, they've lost any sort of uniqueness to tell them apart. they all follow the leader. you are the same but you don't want to admit it. you want to die. but not really.

(left to right, top to bottom: aku no hana (the floweres of evil), shounen no abyss (boy's abyss), satugashi no dagan wa uchinukenai (a lollipop or a bullet), misu misou)

#disclaimer: shounen no abyss lowkey sucks but it was the first manga ive read #to document this feeling so. i read the new chapter every week.#the way it's repetitive and bad tho kinda adds to the storyline and affect. too hard to explain #unless you've read it #misu misou is good. no special masterpiece but an interesting read. recommend (HUGE gore warning tho)#aku no hana and a lollipop or a bullet are on a whole other level. some of my fav mangas #true masterpieces
