THE REVIEW
Hello everyone! This is my first review!
Since no reviewer on de-baser has bothered with this CD... (better this way anyway), I'll be the one to talk about it a bit...
Two years after the enormous success of the beautiful "Life Is Peachy", Korn releases another masterpiece that confirms their great talent and unmistakable style, also attracting worldwide attention (thanks in part to the single "Freak On A Leash"). This third album is, as usual, characterized by the personality and the extraordinary voice of Jonathan Davis, supported by Fiedly's powerful and strongly rhythmic bass, Munky and Brian's heavy guitars, and David's tireless drumming, elements that make the Californian band's sound unmistakable. It's a more thoughtful album compared to the previous one, maintaining the strong and nu-metal line that the group has offered us with the first two albums and continued to play over time (It's On, Freak On A Leash, BBK, Dead Bodies Everywhere, Justin, and Reclaim My Place, the latter being, in my opinion, one of the best), but it also has a bit softer and darker nuances (Got The Life, Pretty, Seed, Cameltosis, and the final song My Gift To You) and additionally also uses hip hop, which will later be left out in Issues and Untouchables, as in "Children Of The Korn" with Ice Cube and "All In The Family" with friend Fred Durst (it's a verbal exchange of insults between Jon and Fred, friends tell each other things face to face, right??) with really good results.
In short, Follow The Leader confirms their success after two great albums, it's a nice album that maintains the unmistakable style of a group that created this genre and, in my opinion, continues to renew it constantly.

By Devin Davis
"Three adjectives are enough: mature, sophisticated, and different."
"In my opinion, Korn is the best nu-metal band around."
By L.O.T.T.O.
The miracle happens a third time: 'Follow The Leader' not only matches everything positive that was achieved with the fantastic debut album and the legendary second work, but it is enriched with nuances, echoes, and suggestions.
An extremely rational work in its irrationality, precise as a Swiss watch despite the band’s disorienting sound, fused with harmonious perfection.
By thetrooper
"How this 'Follow The Leader' can be described multiple times as one of Korn's best albums is a true mystery!"
"The awful collaborations are mediocre starting from the Davis/Fred Durst duet... which couldn't be more vomit-inducing."
By Kleine
'Follow the Leader' is often cited as Korn's Absolute Masterpiece, but I believe it shouldn't be considered as such.
The collaborations with Ice Cube and Fred Durst detract from the album, making some songs feel like 'crap.'
