Selling Out

Started by Alpha Centauri2 pages

Obviously, whether or not that could be considered selling out is debateable.

I mean, it's considered a pioneering "nu-metal" album, so it's not like they dived on a trend.

You're probably right.

As far as "trend jumpings" go, I wouldn't know, as I've never been much of a trendie person, musically speaking.

Korn is an excellent album and Life Is Peachy is one of the weirdest collection of songs I've ever heard. I kinda of liked Follow the Leader as well, but nothing afterwards. I don't think they ever really sold out though. I honestly feel their newest album was simply a change in their sound, not for money though. I think it's crap, but I don't think it's them looking for commercial success. There songwriting degenerated over time imo not from selling out, but from apathy and lack of effort.

I agree, because even their more recent stuff still sounds like trademark Korn.

I actually kinda liked some of the songs from "Issues" and "The Untouchables", but the majority of the albums, IMO, were for shit.

Totally agreed. I didn't like anything off Take A Look in the Mirror, but I thought some off See You On the Other Side was okay. I liked that one better than Untouchables. The newest is garbage imo.
