UK five CD box containing a quintet of albums from the Nu-Metal band, each housed in mini LP sleeves and packaged together in a slipcase. Includes the albums Korn, LIFE IS PEACHY, FOLLOW THE LEADER, ISSUES and UNTOUCHABLES. Review: Classics revisited - I think a little background might help this review. I got into Korn about the time Follow the Leader was released, and listened to them intensely until the album after Untouchables. After this my interest waned, partially due to what I felt were poor albums, and also my changing tastes, being more into thrash and classic rock/metal by this time. Somewhere between Untouchables and now I lost those first five albums, moving house most likely. After hearing Clown by chance a week back, and enjoying it for the first time in a decade, I decided to buy this boxset. A great little set, not full cases but cardboard slips, but with the original artwork at a decent enough price. I will give a rundown of each album now I have listened to them, giving my views after so long away from Korn and Nu-Metal. Korn (5/5) - probably my favourite. Heavy, primal and raw. Full of cracking riffs and the most traditionally heavy metal sounding of the five. Some hints at their future experimentations are dropped throughout. A classic, and the definitive Nu-Metal template. Best tracks are Clown, Blind, Divine and Ball Tongue. Life is Peachy (4/5) - used to hate this one, but time is kind and I loved it this time round. It's far heavier than I remember, more similar to Korn than the following albums. It contains their first real foray into rap/hip-hop and despite not matching their first is not a bad album. Best tracks are Good God, Chi and ADIDAS. Follow the Leader (4/5) - I have mixed feelings about this record. It is sonically so different than the previous two, which is cool, but makes for a mixed bag at times, and the album has a couple of terrible songs like Children of the Korn and All in the Family. I like rap and hip-hop, but they are tripe. Best tracks are Freak on a Leash, Pretty, Dead Bodies Everywhere and BBK. Issues (5/5) - my favourite from the past, now probably my second. A great concept like feeling of progression through the album with the interlude songs. Heavy and atmospheric, though some of the songs get a samey by the end, using a similar soft intro, hard main riff, soft verse, hard chorus structure. The riffs are gargantuan and catchy though, so it ends up being worth it. Best tracks are Make me Bad, Beg for Me, Falling Away from Me and Lets Get this Party Started. Untouchables (3/5) - I not such a fan of this. Overlong and with too many filler tracks that don't stick out . I remember this album coming out vividly, and I also remember the lack of interest it managed to generate in me. Today it is much the same. Still, it has moments and the best tracks are Here to Stay, Bottled Up, One More Time and Hollow Life. Review: Good value - Arrived in good time and condition from seller. Good first 5 korn albums

Great collection.
Nothing really to say about this collection because it's Korn. If you like them you know what this is all about but if you are a newcomer then this is a great package to get you started.

Great value for money - but no art
All great CDs with great audio, just disappointed there's no more art and no cd box either, but that is stated. Also sad that there's no art on the CDs, there's just the covers on the albums but the CDs are just black with the title.

Affordable price/Quality and Sound are Excellent.
Love it and I listen to this almost everyday in my car. This is a 5 pack CD set and each CD comes in it's own sleeve or pocket. Korn is one of my favorite bands and the music never gets old. Affordable price 💯.
