The KoЯnkast
Added 2020-09-04 22:30:55 +0000 UTCOn this very special patrons-only presentation, the gang spends close to two hours deconstructing every single track from KoЯn's breakthrough 1998 record, Follow the Leader! Come for the chunky guitars, stay for the trips down the KoЯn Wikipedia Rabbit Hole, discussions about the gang's various relationships to Nü Metal, Andrew interrogating Chris over whether he owned a KoЯn t-shirt in high school, more chunky guitars, and even some positive things said about a few of the tracks! PLUS: Chris Cabin gets replaced by Kяis Kabin!

...fun fact: the music didn’t begin until track 13 on the original CD release, with tracks 1 through 12 each consisting of 4 seconds of nothing; a red sticker on the CD case read, “featuring 48 seconds of silence brought to you by Korn”...goddamn innovators of the hidden track, those Korns were....

2021-03-09 00:47:20 +0000 UTCThis is amazing! Would love you guys to do more album/music reviews. And since someone asked, this is definitely not an album I throw on just to listen to. I still listen to a few Korn songs when Im in a mood, but this one is too damn long.

2020-09-15 21:29:03 +0000 UTCI’m willing to contribute 5,000 simoleons to the WHM enterprise if someone can convince Andrew Jupin to record a 4-hour We Love Albums episode on “Remain In Light” (~ 30 minutes/track).

2020-09-09 21:19:13 +0000 UTCLoved the music review idea! I followed along all the way through... thank you for your service. Anyway, I know it was taxing, but that shit was great! Maybe do a few mini-sodes at the end of episodes for single tracks or put them out independently... you could knock out a review of some good Tom Waits or LCD Soundsystem... anything. I’m all in guys. And seriously... thank you for frying your brains for us.

2020-09-09 01:35:31 +0000 UTCI was one of those guys who had this album, only listened to the first three songs, and watched TRL basically every day. What an era and wow turn of the millennium pop culture for a teen was awful. I loved this episode though.
Alexander Farr

Michael Riggs
2020-09-08 20:45:11 +0000 UTCTo Steve - yes I liked it. But you do not have to do it again. This sounded like it was hellish.
Paul DeCoursey-Clark
2020-09-08 20:36:53 +0000 UTCReally glad I let you guys listen to this so I didn't have to. Ouchie mama, that sounded like time you guys wish you could have back.

2020-09-07 11:04:24 +0000 UTCYou guys should do a good album. Or borderline good. Like Nothings Shocking, or Blood Sugar Sex Magic. Or Ten, or Badmotorfinger. Or etc.. I'm dating myself but I'd enjoy it.

2020-09-06 17:01:41 +0000 UTCI mean...if you want to listen to another song about eating corpses might I suggest "A Little Piece of Heaven " by Avenged Sevenfold..there's even a music video.
Swan Benson
2020-09-06 15:45:33 +0000 UTCI had to go find the tracks on YouTube so I could listen along to an album I pawned off around 2000 or so. It was pretty clear to me after a few listens I’d outgrown the band and/or they had run out of gas creatively. Other than the singles and the wretched Fred Durst track this record was a blur and I had only the faintest of recollections. I moved onto more bad music decisions like Slipknot after this and then just mostly abandoned any love for nu metal altogether. Listening to this makes me glad I didn’t grow up to be a hateful libertarian or a Trump supporter because that seems like the path bands like this truly set kids on. Thanks for taking one for the team, WHM.

Andrew McCoy
2020-09-06 00:36:09 +0000 UTCThis takes me back to being in a friend’s room, listening to the Bizkit and other nü metal tracks that we deemed to have the most curse words and violent stuff ever, thinking we were pretty damn cool. Also my jeans sagged lower than my self esteem
Andrew Bowers
2020-09-06 00:04:58 +0000 UTCLoved this...but for your health...maybe don't ever do something like this again!
Paul Gregory
2020-09-05 20:28:16 +0000 UTCIt sounds like this was more suffering and pain than the Twilight commentary with the Century Club.
Matt Nelson
2020-09-05 17:50:45 +0000 UTCGreat episode guys! My friend used to make me listen to Korn and the Bizkit and all of this dumb shit on the way to school all the time. He was my ride for 2 years and I got an earful of the boom chicky dicky boom Steve, we appreciate you suffering for your artform

2020-09-05 16:53:15 +0000 UTCI personally can’t wait for WHM to change to CHM(Clowns hate Movies. Or maybe better still KHM...Klowns Hate Movies). It would be nice to be part of a community that the FBI considers a gang, The makeup would be fun and the gathering of the Hateallows every year would be fun!! :)
Dan sulin
2020-09-05 15:28:34 +0000 UTCThanks for the episode, good laughs
Jean-Marie David
2020-09-05 15:10:27 +0000 UTCI don't think I had ever listened to the album in entirety. At first I did so to follow along (I still have the cd!), but after 4 or 5 songs I would just skim through it.
Jean-Marie David
2020-09-05 15:09:55 +0000 UTC👍. Does this count as the commentary track for this month?
Tony Arthur
2020-09-05 15:02:55 +0000 UTCCould the gang review a National album next? As someone from Ohio, I've come to really appreciate this Brooklyn-based ban, and I'm pretty sure y'all have name-dropped them recently.

Kate
2020-09-05 12:00:06 +0000 UTCDouble-dipping from Reddit, please forgive - OMG, this album was a slog, and you soldiers braved it beautifully. I felt this was a wonderful dive into the nü-metal bits that have flavored the show over the years, and I have only one ask: before you inevitable shelve this format forever, please review "Significant Other". You could call it a final review of the format. The Wykeypedia even includes the wonderful quote "Durst toned down his lyrical content on this album, which he described as being more lyrically mature." so you know it has to be great for the ladies, too! Please let me strap on some JNCOs and listen to you eviscerate this album dedicated to "red hats are cool" that is 90s-ish nü-metal!
Will Skinner
2020-09-05 08:48:45 +0000 UTCMan, this was fun, but I can see how it would be grueling. I would love one on Significant Other. Just dunk on all of my high school garbage music.
Erin Hardy
2020-09-05 05:05:23 +0000 UTCLoved this!!! Great way to kick off my weekend by taking a trip down memory lane. I was never a Korn fan but loved Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park and Incubus. Simpler times and terrible music.

2020-09-05 03:50:00 +0000 UTCThis is fantastic. Haven’t listened to the album in so long.

2020-09-05 03:15:26 +0000 UTCOh god I was wrong 🤭. “Earache My Eye” is the worst song ever! 😬
Paul
2020-09-05 03:09:46 +0000 UTCThey are going to love the dubstep stuff they decided to do. I loved nu-metal, although other than the singles I found Korn really bad. Fun fact the first band I ever saw live was the high school band called.... Moist and they opened with 'Bind' On the subject of nu-metal give me Static X, Spineshank, Orgy and Chevelle. I did love the Todd McFarlane stuff also the Pearl Jam 'Do the Evolution' BLEW MY MIND as a teenager, 'IT'S REALLY SAYING SOMETHING'. Great episode chaps.
Luke Jacobs
2020-09-05 02:27:13 +0000 UTC“Children of the Korn” is the worst in the album. Oh, my freakin’ ears.
Paul
2020-09-05 01:55:10 +0000 UTCI loved this! I was never a huge Korn fan, but they had a couple of songs that were fine. I remember Jonathan being on the Monk TV show! Maybe do Snapcase next?

Ernest Klingler
2020-09-04 23:48:28 +0000 UTCI'm so looking forward to listening to this. I was very much into nu metal as a teenager, and this album was definitely high up there for me at the time.
