After a chain of successful releases, the nu-metal band Korn turned their eyes to a new millennium. The 21st century was dawning and it was dawning fast, and many bands were changing to fit the possibility of an overhaul of popular music. The boys of Korn remained steadfast and released Issues in the year 1999. The album itself is not un-similar to their debut, perhaps with a slight tinge of more quasi-class than of the two albums that lie uncomfortably between them. There is a bit more concentration of writing that the band spent more brainpower and less emotion on, which is good for any fans welcome for a more mainstream turn from the albums prior. Aggression is still present of course; Davis' strained belting screams meld indubitably well with the rough grungy crunch of Korn's signature haphazard riffing. A difference with this albums is the quality of both vocal and guitar hooks, both of which have improved to a great degree, featuring catchier songs with more relistenability. Lyrically, the album sticks to the formula of dark imagery, such as child abuse, masochism, and other lovely things like that. Honestly you'd gotta be a bit sick in the head to like Korn; luckily enough I am as such.
