Korn - Love & Meth Sample

[Chi]

So, Korn's posted this on their facebook site:



This actually sounds quite promising, despite having crappy quality. This seems to be one of the heavier songs off of the new album. I especially dig the dark melody and the groove, OH THE GROOVE. Ìt's been a while since I've rocked my head to a Korn song like that, and that's just a little sample.

What do you think about it ?

 

[Marv Attaxx]

Oh yeah. That sounds like it might be what I was looking for in a new Korn record
Groovy and dark as ....

 

[Joose]

Maybe people will stop worrying now?

Hope so. This sounds great.

 

[lucasreis]

I do like Never Never but I wish they released this instead, the riffs sound KILLER.

I don't think Never Never is a really bad song, but I believe people have the right to "worry", since it's nothing anyone's expected now with Head back in the boat.

I think as Korn, you're at a point where you have to get back to your fans after all those "experiments". We all know Korn is evolving with every new album, but if you're reuniting with your original guitarist, people expect heavy, groovy riffs. It's that simple. The fans are what got Korn this far, and I think the members of the band know exactly what the majority of those fans want.

Still, Never Never was just "meh" for me. Love & Meth however sounds promising as hell, and is kind of teasing.

Hmm, not my thing. I was hoping with Head back in the fold they'd look back at what made their sound so good back in the day, and come out with something more akin to this;



I'm not saying they need to remake their old albums, but recapturing some of that rough and ready style would do them wonders. If anything, I think Korn have been way too slick these last few years.

I totally agree. I miss the Korn of the early 90's myself, but you've gotta' take into consideration that they're older now. They're not the angry kids they used to be, bouncing around in Adidas wear and doing drugs etc. They've got families now, they've evolved mentally as well as musically. Of course, many bands have proven that you can still get pumping in their 40's.

I honestly think that this sample has a groove to it, and that's all Korn's been about for me. As long as they can make me go all bouncy like, for example, Chi did back on Life is Peachy, I'm good. Sure, the basement tone and overall harsher atmosphere to the older albums was awesome, but I don't think this can be replicated.

Just my two cents.

This. The sample sounds great to me, but it's just 20 seconds. If you listen to the first 20 seconds of Blind... well, you can say pretty much nothing about the song.
As for changing my thoughts about the upcoming record... it didn't do much. I like Love & Death, Jonathans voice and Fieldy's bass, so I see a lot of potential, but I saw a lot of potential too for the previous record after the first single... "Never, never" was not that bad, but it's more the kind of "rock music" that local radio stations will play next to Foo Fighters and Queens of the stone age. There's a lot of stuff to be angry about even if you are 40+, have a wife and kids and need not to worry about money.
As for doing what the fans want... I think that is a game you can only lose. As an artist, at least, if not financially. The fans got them this far, true, but that happened because they liked what Korn did, not the other way around (at least for the first records. Not sure about the later ones). One guy wants them to go for the "Life is peachy" sound, others loved "Untouchables", I for one would love to hear a song similar to "Right now"... I really hope they try to do what they want. Not what they think we want.

 

[BrailleDecibel]

It's a really quiet sample, but that sounds a lot closer to what I was hoping for in a new KoRn album with Head back on board...I can't wait to hear more!

 

[leonardo7]

I have a strong feeling that we will all be exceptionally pleased with Davis' vocals on this album. The little bits I have heard so far sounds absolutely amazing!

 

[k5beaststa]

I can't wait! This gave me an "Issues" feel.

 

[Ben.Last]

Yeah. Definitely sounds along the lines of Issues.

While that's still not really where I'd like them to be, I'll take it over where they've been any day (although, I did like Korn 3, and think that it would have been really great with Head's involvement)

 

[silent suicide]

Listen at the end, and for those of you that are intrested, the interview is pretty nice 2.
This got my hopes up!

It rules.

 

[Joose]

^Oh damn, it DOES rule. I really like the sound of that.

 

[matt397]

Phew, thank fuck for that single. I was really dissapointed in Never Never so hopefully the rest of the album sounds that bangin.

 

[Marv Attaxx]

Also: dat tone

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Also: dat tone

Agreed. Never liked Korn's tone, but gaaaawdaaamn.

 

[leonardo7]

YES! Head knows tone! Dat tone!

This is exactly what I love about Korn, groovy big heavy ballsy riffs and choruses that are absolutely HUGE! Vocals sound phuck'n excellent!

 

[Daf57]

Yeah! Love that! That's a good clip on Head, Munky and Jon talking about the process, too. Can't wait!!
