New This Week: The Black Keys, The Roots, Amy Winehouse

By J. Edward Keyes , Editor-in-Chief

Even though the new release cycle continues to slow down, we've still got a few banner new releases today, alongside some hidden gems. Let's dive in.

They Say All Media Guide

With little publicity, radio play, or MTV exposure, Korn took their eponymous 1994 debut to platinum status. Like all unexpected successes, it’s easier to understand its popularity in retrospect. Although they disdain the “metal” label, there’s no question that Korn are among the vanguard of post-grunge alt-metal outfits. Borrowing from Jane’s Addiction, Rage Against the Machine, Pantera, Helmet, Faith No More, Anthrax, Public Enemy, and N.W.A, Korn developed a testosterone-fueled, ultra-aggressive metal-rap hybrid. They’re relentless, both in their musical attack and in lead singer Jonathan Davis’ bleak, violent lyrics. Tales of abuse and alienation run rampant throughout the record. It’s often disturbing and, to some ears, even offensive, but their music can have a cathartic effect that makes up for their vulgarity and questionable lapses in taste. It’s a powerful sound and one that actually builds on the funk-metal innovations of the late ’80s/early ’90s instead of merely replicating them. – Stephen Thomas Erlewine
