The quality of the lyrics is awful IMHO
EXACTLY! IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE THAT WAY!
They make a corny, cheesy song to comment on the way a lot of artists are making songs like that just to sell the singles. Watch the video and listen to the song, you'll understand.
Just as a side-note to the message of the song: That's pretty much the same message as Manson's "This is the New Shit".
Didn't actually notice the message in the song, but I was "annoyed" over how hard it's been for me to get the fucking chorus out of my f'cking head. But I think the album grows on you (recently borrowed it from the local library)... Specially "Right Now!".
About Korn: I generally like them a more, than the mainstream nu-metal that's been growding the list a lot lately (generally!). I do however think their Albums are very varying in quality. As an example I just can't recall ANY song from "Issues", where most of the other at least had two really good ones.
I read an article about them from their previous album, where they actually commented on the record-industry and mp3's. They basicly said to copy away - as artist their view on the matter is that if their music is more widely spread, their fan-base will become bigger.
As for the genre - I think they were the first.
