Korn Fail In Recreating ’90s Sound

By Robert posted July 13, 2010 at 08:00

When Korn’s first two records came out, they were mind blowing to middle America. No one had ever heard heavy metal mixed with hip hop to the degree that it created a new genre with countless bands shuffling their feet and downtuning their guitars while wearing head to toe adidas. Musicians were running out to buy seven string guitars, myself included. Korn were on top of the world. People were used to seeing guys screaming who looked like Tom Araya of Slayer, not a white guy with an eyebrow ring and a tracksuit in Jonathan Davis. It was different. The music was different. Instead of examining the riff and building songs around technicality and speed, Korn pummeled with bass, percussion and their groove led the charge all while retaining their internal anger. The topics, which Davis sang about, were deeply personal and completely transparent of his overwhelming issues. It was [...] Continue...

It’s been a while and it feels great to be back blogging. I thought no better place to start the comeback than with the third single from B.o.B.’s debut album “The Adventures of Bobby Ray.” Over the month of June, this album has made its case to be the most celebrated debut in recent history. From his debut song “Nothin On You” which featured Bruno Mars to his chart topping “Airplanes” featuring Paramores Hayley William’s, Bobby Ray is on a truly magical run. Now with the release of single three, the hip hop artists shows his incredibly diverse style as Rivers Cuomo (lead singer of Weezer) provides the chorus in between some great rap runs by B.o.B. Although the chorus stands out in this song because of Cuomo’s amazing writing talent, this is B.o.B.’s true break into the rap world. Although his other two songs featured some solid rhyming, he really shines [...] Continue...
