| "This collection, "got the life" of a great band" | 2009-06-05 |

A friend of mine got this as a birthday present for me a while back. I've been listening to it quite a bit since then, and have been turned on to Korn pretty quickly. Listening to this album, it's easy to see the band's influence on such more recent bands such as Slipknot. However, Korn was there first, originating the use of 7-string guitars, rap-metal combinations, pushing the limits on how many times you could say the F-bomb in a song, and just being straight-up aggressive at times.
From the feel good funk-rock of "Word Up!" to the psychedelic Pink Floyd cover of "Another Brick In The Wall Pts. 1-3", the collection is off to a great start. Then we get such newer headbangers as "Ya'll Want A Single" and "Right Now", which are brutal, catchy and angst-driven, even melodic at times.
Then we go into the classics such as "Freak On A Leash", "A.D.I.D.A.S.", "Shoots and Ladders" and "Got The Life". The experimental, 50-second "Twist" is a nice way to lead into "A.D.I.D.A.S.", and reminds me a lot of the 50-second Alice in Chains interlude-song "Iron Gland".
We also get a remix of "Freak On A Leash", and in the booklet a brief explanation of the band, what songs are from what albums, etc. Overall this is a great package and a great way to get into Korn, as it was my introduction. So put this one, turn it up loud and, as they say in "Ya'll Want a Single", BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM! Thanks for the time, and peace. |

I LOVE KoRn. I love the angst, the pure rage, the exhausted agony, pain, screams, frustrations and power or the entire band. My favorite album is Follow The Leader because it has a few really killer songs on it and the whole cd is kickass. But, there were many songs that I loved loved loved that I didn't end up buying the cd for.
Along came Greatest Hits Vol 1. Woohoo! It has their best stuff off of each album, including some of their new songs that aren't really mainstream yet.
"Word Up!", "Y'All Want a Single", etc. are some catchy songs with some sexyass bass riffs, but they are a bit mainstream for me, so I didn't buy their entire album when originally released.
But, remember "A.D.I.D.A.S.?" [All Day I Dream About Sex] It gave whole new meaning to all those lame-o kids who came to school pretending to be stupid jocks all the time. (Yes, this may be "dating" me a bit, but I was in high school when the KoRn stuff really hit it big. "Life is Peachy" may have even been while I was in junior high!)
"Make Me Bad" was so hott too, but the "Issues" album was a bit... meh. There wasn't much going on for the "Issues" album, except for very few songs that needed mentioning.
"Twist"- the energy, the rambleshack junk, the bass, oh the bass, the drums... hott song. hot-t-t-t. I love it when he growls.
"Alone I Break" is almost a ballad... off the "Untouchables" cd. A little soft, a little whiny, but still pretty good.
"Shoots & Ladders" is one of my favorite songs- ever. It's really powerful and even includes some friggin bagpipes. How can you go wrong?
And "Blind" is just yummy. It makes my blood boil.
The remixes are okay. But, hey, you can always just not listen to the remixes.
Overall, this album is really the best of KoRn. There are a few songs that are questionable, but it's still a rocking, raging, erratic, absolutely blinding compilation of songs that will drop you face first into the pavement. Listen. |

| Awesome record, although most songs are on the KoRn LP's, the two cover songs and remix at the end are awesome. Plus, the unconventional countdown from most recent to oldest song is fun and different. |

These guys were nothing but a joke to metal since day 1, They gave metal a bad name and you would see people in highschool dressing up like freaks with black or red hair dye with monstrous 40 dollar baggy pants with long chain wallets wearing their 20 dollar korn or slipknot t-shirt and their back pack purses covered with all these tiny emo bands and spongebob buttons that costs 2 bucks at hot topics and thats how these little stores make a huge profit by luring in some stupid big spender HS kiddies who make a little money at burger king or mcdonalds and can't even save the little money they make, but the only things I ever got from hot topics is an iron maiden T-shirt and a debut album of children of bodom which was much worthy of buying instead of looking like a marilyn manson drag queen.
Ok onto my review.
I use to be a big fan of these guys back in highschool I didn't know my real taste in music I knew I loved metal and I use to think any band like korn who plays metal can be really talented but I was wrong I only followed up on what other people liked I even tried to dress up like them before and I will never go back to that again. These guys can't really play good I mean they are so horrible at everything they do and they don't even know the real thing about metal. Head and munky has got to be the most horrible untalented guitarist's I ever heard and I never heard anybody play that horrible like they do and they can't even play any tunes for gods sake. Fieldy is such a sloppy distorted bassist he just makes the noise worse for the band, their front man jonathan davis was flat out the most horrendous mediocre off key singer who whines about his childhood years of his daddy raping him and not to mention he and the guys butchered a great song by pink floyed with jonathans terrible vocals that would make your ears bleed and I don't even believe those guitar solos were actually them playing. The only great musician was their drummer david who has real talent and should have been playing with a real metal band or better yet start his own band.
So there you have it these guys sucked since day 1 they are not even real metal and they never were and as a true metalhead im glad these guys are finished they were so awful and they gave metal a really bad name. |
