Missing they Y from the name.......2007-03-12

Once upon a time I use to really like Korn and this was shockingly one of my favourite albums at the time but thankfully I grew up and listening to this garbage now makes me feel embarrased. Every track on here sounds the same apart from Wicked which is a cover anyway but this record is so obviously rushed it must have been done in like 2 days.

Johnathan Davis is one of the worst singers ever all he does is whine like a bratty kid that didn't get his favourite toy for christmas, he can't sing to save his life. None of the surposed musicians in the band have any talent. The guitaists Munky and head are both lousy guitarists who play the same riff over again, while Fieldy just slaps random strings not creating any kind of melody from them just slaps which doesnt make a good bass player. Drummer David Silveria is below Mediocre he just plays the same basic drum beat over and over.

The album starts of horibly with Twist which sees Jonathan making stupid noises over a crappy riff in the background. Making stupid noises is perhaps the only thing Johnathan Davis is good at.

It surprises me Head didnt leave earlier then he did if I was in this band I would have left as soon as this appaling record came out and saved myself the embaresment. Your life certainly wont be peachy after listening to this.

more melody is needed.......2006-12-28

overall this album is ok for the most part guitar riffs werent too great but the songs still sounded good it had really no melody becouse the instruments were grindy and thrashy , but aside from the non meledic tunes the lyrics are pretty dark and creepy and give you that wierd feeling however the reason it was so grimey was not only for the lack of melody but becouse this ws a bit of a turn point for the band from general guitars(self titled korn)to electronics (untouchables)this i believe was in the middle of all of it anyway they were on a slipperly slope with this and almost messed this one up but they had some songs that kept the album alive like porno creep and a.d.i.d.a.s. and I dont think there will ever be a time were they ever mess an album up

Korn sucks! .......2006-12-15

This is the worst band I ever heard nevermind limp bizkit korn bearly has guitar riffs no guitar solos the 2 guitars and the bass sound like pure crap. I guess the drums were pretty good that's a 1 star for david but thats not enough to save the performance of this mediocre band and jonathan davis can't even sing right and his gibberish sounds annoying stupid and untalented. I use to be a big fan of korn but now I can never go back to these guys anymore.

Overrated.......2006-09-14

Okay, let's get something straight: Just because an album is loud and full of anger does not make it good!

The album starts out with Jon screaming complete gibberish while the music players of the group make various noises with their instruments, this goes on for about a minute. The rest of the songs continue in pretty much the same fashion.

Honestly, the only one who sounds halfway decent on here is David, but as a drummer he'd have to be pretty bad not to sound good compared to the squealing and sludging noise of everyone else. On this record, rather than playing their instruments, the boys seem to be "playing with" them, as a child would play with his food. The guitarists try to mask the fact that they aren't very good by incorporating all sorts of effects and tricks into their playing, like pitch-shifting pedals and feedback, but that doesn't help any.

I was surprised to learn that the song "No Place to Hide" was nominated for a grammy. Just goes to show you how bad people's judgement is nowadays.

In conclusion, Any KoRn fan will tell you this is a very good album because of it's raw anger and so-called heaviness, but don't be fooled, this is not good because it's not music it's noise. This album is essential only if you're a diehard KoRn fan and any other fan is likely to call you a poser if you don't own it. To everyone else, stay far away.

One of the rawest and most original albums to ever come out of the horrible Nu-Metal genre.......2006-08-24

I don't think most of these people that listen to Korn and write reviews of their albums even know what kind of contribution Korn made to the Nu-Metal scene. First of all it was bands like Faith No More that really pioneered the Nu-Metal scene and in parts of Europe Faith No More is looked upon as THE Creator of Nu-Metal, not Korn or any other band.
With that out of the way, lets get on with the review. I was a huge fan of Korn ever since I first heard their debut release, which was about a year or so after it was released. I was blown away. The way the band mixes so many styles into an aggressive, yet melodic and beautiful concoction is amazing. Jonathan Davis used to be one of the greatest vocalists in my opinion. used to be...
Life is Peachy came out a fews years after their debut, and obviously shocked many people. First of all, their debut was a moderate speed and Life is Peachy is more intense and much faster than it. The whole album is more raw than fresh meat sliced from a cows [...] I think most people expected something more being that their debut was almost predictable.
If you ever get a chance to hear their demo, it is actually their debut album, but less refined and more metal sounding than funky metal. Ross Robinson(the legendary producer) is actually to thank for their Nu-Metal blend of styles.
Life Is Peachy is way ahead of its time, bordering on an almost post appocalyptic metal sound that our present ears are not accustomed to yet. Raw, gritty, violent and sporadic, this un-predictable album features a better instrument sound in my opinion. Everything seems like they recorded it in a basement, sans the crappy recording sound. The quality is studio worthy, but they somehow managed to create a very rough and rugged vibe on this album. I think this is one of their best albums, and certainly better than Follow the Leader, or the abominations after that.
This guitar riffs are crunchy and hard as nails, with their massive use of effects. The bass can be heard, and is actually good! The drums have a raw and high pitched sound to them, the bass is deep and low, yet bouncy. The vocals are stripped bare and raw as all he$%!
If you enjoy raw and rugged metal with jazz, hip hop and a small dose of funk in the mix, pick up Life is Peachy. There is no other disc out in the world that is like this album. Wholly original and unique, Life Is Peachy will take you into dark depths, but always with a sense of fun and musicianship.
