Life Is Peachy - Korn

Whereas their debut album came out of the blue, catching everybody unaware - By the time that 'Life is Peachy' was released, people was chomping at the bit for more Korn, and were hoping that they could produce something completely new all over again - Did they manage to reinvent the wheel again? Not really This is still a very fine metal album, 'Twist' does manage to bring something new to the table, Jonathan Davis pulling off a passable impression of the Tasmanian devil over the top of a squalling backbeat - Its a short sharp shock that lasts less than a minute and bleeds into one of the finest songs they recorded, 'Chi', which brings to mind the work of ...  Read the complete review

Usually the most disregarded and misunderstood KoRn album, Life Is Peachy is one of my personal favourites (I only prefer the previous album, 1994's 'KoRn.') The whole style appeals to me, and I feel that the true fans of this album are those who appreciate it musically- it certainly shows KoRn at their fullest, and has no crappy rap cameos like another album I can think of. Oh no, hang on? It does. Life Is Peach’s style is certainly a lot more of an acquired taste, and is not for the casual hip hop/metal listener. The album is deeper and darker than the others, and while dealing with much the same issues as the Bakersfield quintet’s debut offering, ...  Read the complete review

'Life Is Peachy' is the second studio album from Korn, it was released through Epic Records in November 1996 and consists of a total of fourteen tracks. The album provides for 48 minutes of music entertainment, it's not so strong as the bands debut album in my opinion but does however provide for quite an interesting overall listening experience. With this album Korn further focussed its music in the genre of nu-metal, it's really quite similar in sound to the bands debut album; not so packed full of quality however and really just an inferior copy of the bands first album 'Korn'. The album begins with the 50 second 'Twist', a pretty decent way to begin the ...  Read the complete review

A lot of peop;e i know are saying tha t'Life Is Peachy' is not a very good follow up to 1994'sself titled masterpiece. The fact is , that this album DOES live up to expectations...and so do the following two...but that is a rant for another day...The fact of the matter is, that KoRn have not faltered since they released the album that blew me away and made me wanna be in a metal band.I mean sure...before KoRn there was always Black Sabbath...and believe me...they ruled...but not much else caught my attention...and that is what made the discovery of Korn for me a big thing....anyway. It is well known tha tthe huge album by a band is always hard to top and ...  Read the complete review
