Review

Buckle up, because Korn's "Follow the Leader" bursts onto the scene like a storm front churning the atmosphere. Released in 1998, this third studio album diverges from their early collaborations, with Ross Robinson stepping aside for producers Steve Thompson and Toby Wright. This shift catapults listeners into a new realm of nu metal textures, electrifying from the first thunderclap of "It's On!" to the atmospheric turbulence of "Dead Bodies Everywhere."

Packed with volcanic energy, the album flaunts a dazzling array of guest vocalists including Ice Cube, Tre Hardson, and Fred Durst, lending unique vibrations to the mix. "Got the Life" and "Freak on a Leash" dominate the airwaves, the latter even winning several MTV Video Music Awards and snagging a Grammy. Critics and fans alike were swept away, with the album peaking at number one on four national charts and going five-times Platinum. The recording process wasn't all sunshine, marked by a daring live-streaming experiment and some creative lightning strikes with producer Steve Thompson. Yet, out of this tempest, Korn delivers a sonic adventure that solidifies "Follow the Leader" as a cornerstone of the nu metal tempest. - Juno
