Description of Korn:
Combining the stop-start rhythms of Helmet, the hip-hop assault of Rage Against the Machine and the brooding vocals of Faith No More, Bakersfield, California band Korn concocted a golden formula that would reanimate the dormant corpse of heavy metal. The band's self-titled debut is a teenage-fantasy-endorphin-rush--a subversive noisefest as angry and hostile as Slayer but with a propulsive groove perfect for skateboarding, vandalism, or jumping up and down until you're nauseous. Songs like "Blind," "Clown," and "Shoots and Ladders" blend dark, bleak riffs with head-spinning guitar effects and scream-and-response choruses. But even at their most vitriolic, Korn imbue their blustery music with a cathartic element of fun. --Jon Wiederhorn
Korn Reviews:
Bone crushing Riffs...this set the standard for the 90's. 
2008-04-18 - Great CD, the Led Zep IV of the 90's........If you don't own this you know nothing about hardrock/metal. This is in no way RAP METAl...this is 100% metal.
You should check out the new Skinlab SkinnedAlive live Cd, for more crushing riffs like this, but even MORE brutal. Killer CD!
Skinned Alive
the album that changed music
2008-04-09 - the album that changed my feelings on life and changed music as a whole.i still dont know why people call this "nu metal". its experimental hard rock, but genre suck to talk about. Korn is one of the greatest of all time. My favorite personally. This is a cult classic. The new korn stuff can't touch this lyrically or musically.
rock amania 
2008-04-04 - this album was pure metal my favorite songs on this album was faget and blind i have all of korns albums and the best one was follow the leader and issues and untouchable but all their albums was awsome gold they were the best back in the 90s and still are thats until one doller bill yall limp bizkit had to ruin it with their corney debut in 1997. But this album was great.
Classic Rap Metal
2008-01-09 - This is the album that started the whole rap-metal scene in the mid 1990's. Korn has influenced so many bands like: Lincoln Park, Staind, Limp Bizkit, Disturbed and many more. They pioneered the 7 String Guitar sound with songs like Blind, Ball Tongue, Faget and Predictable. This album is a must-have for any metal enthusiast!
A Classic of Modern Metal
2007-10-08 - Transposing the aggression and violence of their contemporaries Rage Against The Machine's brash revolutionary polemics into the sullen, insular playground politics of a bullied adolescent, Korn crafted an instant metal classic with their self-titled debut.
The repeated and heavyhanded invocations of child abuse by frontman Jonathan Davis may ring somewhat unpleasantly in the ears of anyone over the age of eighteen, but there's a genuine and remarkable rawness to the group's sound. Their genius was to meld the artless riffing of their 80s metal heroes with the abiding callowness of teenage angst.
Almost Fauvist in its studied purility, Korn's furiously sniveling debut marked itself aside from even grunge's self-lament and set a new tone for modern rock music - one which Korn themselves would not equal again.
