The one thing I will say about Korn's "early" work is this: the local shit rock station tends to spin a craptastic mix of older and newer assrock. So, hearing something from the first three Korn albums does sound better than hearing something from Avenged Sevenfold or My Chemical Romance. I mean, by itself I find it Korn obnoxious. But sandwiched between those bands, Korn sounds like a clarion of brilliance sandwiched between the agonized farts of dying rectums.
