10 Perfect Rap Rock Albums With No Bad Songs

10. Follow The Leader - Korn (1998)

By all accounts, the recording process of this album was soaked in more hedonism than Sodom and Gomorrah. All day, every day, people were drinking, smoking, snorting and f**king. Jonathan Davis recorded the vocals to the opening number, It's On, while band members were indulging their carnal desires behind him. You can almost hear the debauchery in the sleazy guitar lines and down and dirty bass melodies. Even the opening lyric "save some for me" hints at the sordid behaviour that went down. It' no surprise this album sounds so filthy.

Freak On A Leash, showed the band's affinity for '90s hip hop, leaning into rhythms your more like to find on a gangsta rap album. We also got Davis exhibiting some of his signature scat singing. The grinding motion of the hip hop laced melody on, All In The Family, featured one of Fred Durst's more enjoyable performances during this era. Gangsta rap icon, Ice Cube, also contributed to the album, appearing on, Children of the Korn. But, a key component to the distinctive sound on this album was Reginald 'Fieldy' Arvizu's bass playing. He utilised a loose and bouncy, slap bass technique, that gave the group's sound a distinctive groove.

For all the criticism thrown at nu metal, this was a damn fun album.
