Life Is Peachy

by Korn

The 3763rd greatest album of all time

Life Is Peachy is Korn's second studio album, released in 1996, that expanded the band's early nu metal sound. Produced by Ross Robinson, it features heavily downtuned, abrasive guitars, percussive, groove-driven bass and rhythms, and Jonathan Davis's raw, anguished vocal delivery that mixes singing, screams and rhythmic vocalizations. The production emphasizes a gritty, live feel with industrial and hip-hop-influenced textures, reinforcing Korn's template of metal aggression combined with confessional lyrics and unconventional rhythmic approaches.
