Album Notes
LIFE IS PEACHY contains a CD-Extra video segment of Korn's performance at the Astoria Theater, London, England.
Korn: Jonathan Davis (vocals, bagpipe); Head (guitar, background vocals); Munky (guitar); Fieldy (bass); David (drums).
Additional personnel includes: Chino Moreno (vocals).
Recorded at Indigo Ranch Studios, Malibu, California.
"No Place To Hide" was nominated for a 1998 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance.
This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
Full of shrilly, distorted guitar squeals, bass-heavy darkness and laryngitis-inducing growls, Korn's sophomore turn, the oh-so sarcastically titled LIFE IS PEACHY, is a musical tour through some truly evil corners. The Bakersfield quintet's paranoia-induced rampage makes countless by-the-numbers death-metal acts seem cartoonish by comparison.
Mostly, Korn succeeds in inspiring rage and terror by not overplaying its hand, and by mixing in hip-hop beats, punk abandon and funky humor with its thrash. Jonathan Davis croons as ably as he roars, making his "Exorcist" impression seem genuine when he does break into it. James "Munky" Shaffer's and Brian "Head" Welch's guitars never explode into bombastic faster-than-light solos; instead, they uphold the album's eerie textures by flying in and out of the mix like samples. And drummer David Silveria is as adept at reproducing the Latin percussion polyphony of War (on a metallic cover of that band's "Low Rider") as he is double-timing on his twin bass drums. Add it up, and LIFE IS PEACHY assembles into far more than your average declaration to Satan.
Industry Reviews
3 stars out of 5 - ...Harsher and harder than their groundbreaking debut...
