CD Description
Full of shrilly, distorted guitar squeals, bass-heavy darkness and laryngitis-inducing growls, Korn's sophomore turn, the oh-so sarcastically titled LIFE IS PEACHY, is a musical tour through some truly evil corners. The Bakersfield quintet's paranoia-induced rampage makes countless by-the-numbers death-metal acts seem cartoonish by comparison.
Mostly, Korn succeeds in inspiring rage and terror by not overplaying its hand, and by mixing in hip-hop beats, punk abandon and funky humor with its thrash. Jonathan Davis croons as ably ashe roars, making his "Exorcist" impression seem genuine when he does break into it. James "Munky" Shaffer's and Brian "Head" Welch's guitars never explode into bombastic faster-than-light solos; instead, they uphold the album's eerie textures by flying in and out of the mix like samples. And drummer David Silveria is as adept at reproducing the Latin percussion polyphony of War (on a metallic cover of that band's "Low Rider") as he is double-timing on his twin bass drums. Add it up, and LIFE IS PEACHY assembles into far more than your average declaration to Satan.

Customer Reviews

Good, 1 under appreciated track
I love this album for a few reasons.
It seems to be KoRn's 'weird' stage as I call it. Allow me to make it clearer.
Korn = Strongest stage
Life Is Peachy = Weird stage
Follow The Leader = Drug-fuelled stage
Issues = Party stage
Untouchables = Nu-metal stage
Take A Look In The Mirror = Peak Hardcore Stage.

Peachy really is interesting. People love ADIDAS, Good God and Wicked, but the best song on this album is actually Mr Rogers. This is a truly brilliant song. The fact that it sounds like it's being recorded in a tin can gives it a truly raw sound. It's a jittery song which tells the story of a TV program Jon used to watch: Mr Rogers. If you're not familiar with this show, it was about a nice man who told all kids to be nice to everyone. When Jon tried this on 'school bullies' or 'hard kids' it was obvious they weren't going to take kindly to it. Jonathan Davis really puts on his vengeful character here and I love it. If you are new to Korn, then I highly recommend this album, not for Mr Rogers alone, but also for the opening mini track twist and the genuine sense of being with korn on this recording.

WARNING: THIS ALBUM PACKS A MEAN PUNCH!
I bought this album a few weeks ago because it was the only Korn album I didnt have, follow the leader being my 1st purchase when it came out in 98. It did take me a couple of listens before I began to realy like this album because I noticed a slightly different sound. I feel the songs are a little darker and more pychotic then usual which is a good thing. My favourite tracks are Twist, Chi, Lost, Swallow, Mr Rodgers, A.d.i.d.a.s and Kill you. Wicked is a rap/metal version of one of Ice Cubes songs which is not bad. Jon Davis has to be one of the most powerful and creative metal vocalists around with the rest of the band being equaly as talented. I would of given this album 4 stars and a half because its not perfect but its a must have for any serious Korn fan or for people who like nu/metal with a twist! Buy it, its not that expensive and remember to play it LOUD for best results.

The Truth
If your looking for a powerful, meaningful, loud, album this is the album to by. The whole band express them self so well in this album. I wouldn't recommend this album to people that are into "pop", you may be a bit scared. There's nothing really to be scared about really; they just want to express some really negitive thoughts and emotions. A great album on the whole, its something that you'll listen to for years!
