The Path of Totality Tour - Live At The Hollywood Palladium

Biography

Korn embrace the future on The Path of Totality, their tenth full-length studio album and second for Roadrunner Records.
Infusing dubstep anarchy into their signature sound, the legendary quartet stand on the cusp of a musical revolution for both hard rock and electronica. Korn are no strangers to revolution or innovation though. In fact, they've been purveyors of heavy music's ... Read more in Amazon's Korn Store

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

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

5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive nu-metal album of all time May 9, 2000
Format:Audio CD
Korn: a word that will be remembered decades later for revolutionizing the age of nu-metal as Metallica is remembered for ushering in the age of hard rock. Perhaps not so much for the band itself, but definitely for this self-titled album. Korn took a formula of lyrics dealing with teen angst and other everyday issues mixed with harder-edged music started by such bands as Rage Against the Machine and Nirvana, added their own twist, raised the level of aggression, poured their heart and soul into the mix, and created an album that is an influence and guideline for bands of the past, present, and future.

Korn's music is a dark and angry aggro, groove-laden, downtuned, in-your-face brutal assault of all five of your senses. It's been called crossover, pimp rock, even rapcore. Whatever you call it, I call it incredibly intense and personal on the deepest darkest levels. Featuring the dynamic duo of Head and Munky whose freaky, yet intelligent down-tuned guitar work is a trademark of the Korn sound, Fieldy known for his wicked bass lines, and David whose work on the s/t is nothing short of brilliant (by far his best work of all of the Korn albums), together creates a sound that at the time was unlike any other.

Enter: Jonathan Davis. It is Jon's presence on this album that adds the true essence of brilliance by showcasing not only his talent as a songwriter and vocalist, but by capturing the heartfelt emotion of anguish and pain, hate and anger, of his innermost demons that were released through the making of this album. This album is a part of Jon Davis. Whether dealing with the issues of child abuse, drugs, sex, high school, or peers Jon Davis tells you how it is, straight-forward and in-your-face, brutally honest and real. From melodic crooning to hardcore screams, psychedelic barrages and screams of anguish, it's all there for the listener to absorb and be amazed.

From start to finish this cd will have you on the edge of your seat. Whether from fright or anger, stunned or mesmerized, this cd will not fail to move the listener. Personal favorites on the cd are "Clown", "Ball Tongue", "Blind", "Faget", "Divine" and "Predictable" although every single song is a masterpiece in itself. Even if music becomes obsolete in the future somewhere this album will still be around blowing someone away. And it's not just because of the music. No other album has captured the darkness and beauty of human emotions so magnificently as Korn's s/t album. Like I said, Korn took their heart and soul and put it into this album creating something that will probably never again be seen or heard. That is why Korn will never again make an album that is half as good as the s/t. They used up all of their emotions that truly makes an album special, to create the first one.

Korn, I sincerely thank you for this gift that you have so unselfishly and assiduously created and given to the world. Peace.

5.0 out of 5 stars Honest, true to the heart music! January 25, 2001
Format:Audio CD
I'll be honest, I started with Korn with Issues. That was my first Korn album. I sorta worked my way backwards. After I purchased Issues which in my opinion is one of the best metal albums, I went to the local Waves Music store and bought all the other Korn CDs at once. No other music had as much impact on me as Korn's first album.

The self/titled debut is a truly amazing piece of music. It's pain, tragedy, depression, and all of our darker moments wrapped into a tight package sealed with a black ribbon. In my opinion what Korn represents is really hard to find in today's music. I'm sick and tired of people calling Korn and untalented band. Or saying that Jon Davis' anger is fake. Most of these criticizers have lived their life no longer than 13 years. Live the next 5 or 6 years and you will realize where Korn is coming from. Jon Davis comes from a life that has been filled with pain, suffering, and so much anger that there is enough in him to write 90 albums. I suggest taking a look ... and reading up on the band's history. You will surely be stunned and I would suggest reading the Korn Fiction on KornWeb which reveals some hidiously painful stories about Jon's life. Songs like Clown, Faget, and Need To are songs about everyday things that can affect our entire life forever. But the most true to the heart song has to be Daddy. This is in my opinion the most painful true story ever heard through music. It's a song about how Jon was molested as a child and it clearly shows his true aggression. The crying at the end of the song is real. Jon Davis was alone in the studio as he sang to pre recorded music. This is a slap in the face of all people that say that Korn is just stupid distorted noise. I don't think half the people that say Korn is ... have not even heard this song. I think that they are afraid to relate to something as hard to talk about as Jon's life. And he is a true inspiration to most teens everywhere (including myself). Korn's music made my life much better and helped me through tough times that I just didn't have a chance in. I think of Korn as a form of medication and it works oh-so well.

If Jon, Fieldy, Munky, Head, or David ever venture upon this review, this is what I have to say to them:

Your music has changed my life. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be here right now and I honestly mean that. Keep putting out meaningful music and don't let all the critics out there deter your gift. I'm sure every single one of your fans feels the same way. Thank you...

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy This September 5, 2001
Format:Audio CD
What Can I Say. This Is Just A Masterpiece. I Mean Pure Gold. The Songs Wont Make Alot Of Sense Until You Understand What Jonathan Davis Is Talking About But It's A Journey All In it's Own To Become One Of The Children Of The KoRn. This Showcases Bass At It's Very Best With The Most Emotional Vocals Since, Well Since Never. Heres My Track by Track Review.

1.Blind- Great Opening For An Albumn
2.Ball Tongue- Very Creative Song. Too Bad KoRn Isnt More Like This
3.Need To- My favorite Song Ever
4.Clown-Increadible Bass And Guitars
5.Divine- Very Good Song All Around
6.Faget- Very Good Ver Emotional Song
7.Shoots And Ladders- Bagpipe Spiked Metal Masterpiece
8.Predictable- .... Its Sounds Just Like Creed.
9.Fake- It's Okay But Not Great
10.Lies- Fast-Paced Adreniline Rush
11.Helment In The Bush- Kinda Creepy But Very Good
12.Daddy-If you Dont Cry Or Feel Like Crying During This Song You Proabably Have No Soul. Dont Be Scared Away By That Though. I'd Rate It As Second Best Song On The Cd, And Best Song To Define KoRn By.
