4.0 out of 5 stars a must-have if you appreciate Korn's talent..., July 25, 1999

By A Customer

...and not just their raw energy and ability to pull off a really great live show. LAPD features James "Munky" Shaffer, David Silvaria,and Fieldy from Korn, as well as an otherwise unknown vocalist who tends to be very--well--annoying. I got it mostly because I wanted to hear Munky play lead guitar. It's too easy to dismiss Korn's guitarists because they don't play lead like so many bands with only one. It's very apparent that the three Kornsters in this band are very talented even outside their eventual genre. David plays a less hip-hop drum on this album, Fieldy has far less of the clicky bass that Korn fans are accustomed to, but I personally thought the real treat was Munky's inventive leads and powerful riffs that eventually translated into Korn.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sort of decent, October 20, 2000

By	Mike Brennan (Standpickle) - See all my reviews

This CD is pretty good, but there aren't enough good songs on it. Songs like P.M.S., St. Ides, and Who's Got The Number show true young spirit of foolish adolesecents with record deals and rocking. But other more serious songs like Jesus and Don't Label Me show true emotion and thought and that they aren't just brash young people. It's also a gem to have if you like Korn because strange enough, Fieldy, James Shaffer(Munky), and David Silveria(At age 13!!) make the music. The lead singer, Richard Morales, has a rather messy, slurred voice and most of the time, you can't understand what he's saying. Even if you can hear what he's saying, it doesn't make any sense. But he does get backup from Munky and even Fieldy. Generally, the first few songs are good, but they are rather disappointing after that. Doe Tee Beats is only 15 seconds and all they do is scream to a drumbeat but it's still funny. Slicky Slixter is the most annoying song on the CD because it's basically all saxophone. Who's Got The Number is a ridiculous song about some number, but which number is it? All My Life starts out okay, but falls apart and ends at 41 seconds. The point is, if you're a Korn fan, you should buy it, but you might not like it because the music isn't the same.

Note: There are some guitar chords on this CD that are later used in Korn songs!

4.0 out of 5 stars Korn before they were Korn, April 24, 1999

By A Customer

Believe it or not this was the band "KoRn" before KoRn exsisted. It is evident in the powerful riffs played by James "munky" shaffer that he influence a lot in Korn's first and later albums. The high energy almost-disco-like drums brought to all of us by David Silveria (now the drummer to korn) are so much influeced buy grove music you can't help but dance. And of course the low clicky bass sound buy Regginald "fieldy" arvizu just leaves us in awe at the end of every song. So if you like korn and want to hear the earlier stuff (w/out Jon Davis's awesome, pain influenced vocals, sad to say) then get L.A.P.D. Some if it will make you giggle but you cannot help but appreciate their talent.
