Excellent Compilation of Korn's Greatest Songs

This is an excellent compilation of Korn's greatest songs (pre Untitled or See You on The Other Side). The sound quality of this album was good, but not stellar, but for new recordings it was great. Some of my favorite songs from this album were: Got the Life, Falling Away From Me, Freak on a Leash, A.D.I.D.A.S and Word Up. Korn is an excellent band, and I encourage anyone who is into nu-metal to go check them out.

It's just not as fresh anymore...

Korn was one of the biggest Metal bands through the 90s. They dominated all other Metal bands with their music. Although it was similar to normal Metal, it featured a certain sound to it that captivated their fans.

This album just doesn't hold up though. The songs get old really fast. Any Korn fan has already heard all these songs before and it's just not something you want to listen to over and over again. The addition of two new tracks, "Brick in the Wall" and "Word Up", are just average remakes of older songs. I will say that one thing that I enjoyed was the fact that the CD included a DVD with their free show from CBGBs was really fun to watch. Overall though I can't say that this was worth the purchase.

Not their greatest

First of all, I'm a fan of the Korn songs that get your head bobbing. I haven't really liked their slower/experimental material, nor their poppy/catchy songs.

When I saw that they had a Greatest Hits Album, I thought this would be a good purchase for an old school fan. I admit that I've been out of touch with their newer stuff, so when I played it for the first time - I did not recognize 80% of the songs!

And by newer, I mean since 2002. Korn has been around since 1994! If you do the math - why would most of the album be from 2 years of work, out of the 10?

I began thinking that the title was a joke - a clever way to package new songs. But, then came a few of their actual hits, and I thought to myself, "my God! This really is their greatest hits album."

In my opinion, Korn's greatest hits should not have included any covers - if they deserve a greatest hits album (and they do) they should be able to fill it with their own material. Secondly, it should have started off with some bagpipe!

The only reason Korn has survived until now is because they have continued touring, and their name is a multi-million dollar brand now.

"Vol.1" is in the title as if to comfort fans that Korn is not going anywhere. This is because greatest hit albums usually don't come out until a band is over and done with, or on the verge of fading out.

I'll stick to their older albums, and I hope Vol.2 has some of their actual hits on it.

Like all reviews, take this with a handful of salt.
