Well, this was a wrong decision for Korn. With just few missteps, Korn created a great discography. That doesn’t mean that records are not good. Ranking them will not be easy and among 13 records, some of their great records will end up on 6th-8th row.

With their latest release “The Nothing”, Korn has 13 full lenght records in their collection. Alongside with Deftones (Adrenaline, 1995), Slipknot (Slipknot, 1999) and Limp Bizkit (Three Dollar Bill Y’All, 1997), Korn’s first step created a whole different genre. Well, records like Rage Against the Machine’s self-titled effort and Faith No More’s “The Real Thing” might have created the base-sound for this genre but what Korn did with their first record was a landmark. Creating a style and starting a whole different genre was what they did and that’s not something easy to achieve. They were one of the most important metal bands during the 90’s and that’s reasonable. Deftones sticks a little too close to familiar territory this time around - the sound is still good, but knowing that they have done a record like White Pony, this feels like a disappointment, especially because in its unevenness, it sounds like it is the album that should have come before this one.Yes, I’m daring to dive in to this band’s discography: Korn. When they do play by the rules, they're good, but they're great when they don't follow a map. They don't abandon this impulse completely - and when they marry it to their harder inclinations, the results are smashing, as on the lead single, "Minerva" - which is welcome, since even if the harder stuff is done well (again, better than their peers), it doesn't carry nearly as much promise as when Deftones don't play by the nu-metal reviews. It feels as if Deftones feel compelled to strengthen their metallic roots and will sacrifice the very things that make them better and more interesting than the rest - namely, their love of art rock, whether it's via the Cure or My Bloody Valentine. That shift in mood has the strange effect of seeming confident at first, and then a retreat, even if the music they're retreating to is, by and large, more adventurous and reminiscent of White Pony. Deftones continue in that vein through much of the first half of the record, gradually working in more atmospheric numbers as the record draws to a close. At first, their simply titled eponymous fourth album seems like a retreat from that territory, since as it opens with "Hexagram" it hits hard - harder than they ever have, revealing how mushy Staind is, or how toothless Linkin Park is, even if it's a bit of a shame that Chino Moreno has resorted to guttural barking for singing. However, the class of 2000/2001 nu-metalurgists overshadowed the group in terms of sales, even if they retained greater critical respect and a hardcore fan base, who nevertheless still registered some reluctance in regard to the artier, atmospheric, post-punk edges on White Pony.

Deftones didn't really have a hard time with their third album, White Pony, since it received generally positive reviews and entered the Billboard charts at number three.
