Korn: EVERY Album Ranked Worst To Best
4. Follow The Leader
The band's third record, Follow the Leader took everything the band had learned with their previous albums and came out swinging with their most aggressive, popular and eclectic LP.
Incorporating Davis's typically angry, inspired lyrics with the band's hip-hop and funk influences, Follow the Leader is bursting with themes of lonliness, pain and loss, and manages to make each track fresh and surprising. From the fan favourite "Freak on a Leash" to the deeply unsettling "Dead Bodies Everywhere," the album creates disturbing, nightmarish imagery whilst talking directly to society's outcasts in a blunt and unrelenting way.
Follow the Leader is where nu-metal was refined, and shows Korn as a band unwilling to sit quietly in one genre. Just look at the Ice Cube featuring "Children of the Korn" and the menacing "All in the Family" to see how daring the band are willing to be.
