Odd, he wrote some about them and Limp and he even saw Korn live while bands like Iron Maiden or Pantera just got blacklisted and he near completely ignored them.
Kayden Lewis
Pantera is surprising, but I can kind of see Iron Maiden, as they were big within the metal scene itself they were never like pop culture huge in the states back then or radio huge, so a guy like Cuckgau probably didn't think it worth it to even mention
Charles Nelson
>Pantera is surprising
LOLno. Why he didn't like them doesn't even need elaboration.
Logan Jackson
Dude, he just had to put on track one of Vulgar Display and shit his pants when he got flashbacks of being shoved into a locker in Jamaica High.
James Cook
That album does trigger people
Parker Green
I think he means the part about "blacklisting" them.
You would think he would at least review the first number 1 extreme metal album, even if he didn't like it.
Maiden had chart topping singles in the UK
Jaxson Martinez
what's Cuckgau? Sorry, I'm new here even though I've been on Yea Forums since 2005.
Logan Gomez
Didn't one of Korn's members turn Christian?
based
Parker Morris
At least 2 of them did.
Andrew Baker
Just some aging homosexual man. Never mind.

Reign in Blood? Got a B plus (best rating he's ever given a metal album).
Asher Phillips
Okay. Also, any idea what KoRn has been up to since the 2000s? I haven't listened to them since then and they're coming to town in August. I don't know much of their music anymore.
Ian Stewart
Washed-up borderline dadrock as you'd largely expect.
Oliver Lee
I told you I'm old. Haven't heard of corn. Except on the cob! Yim yum!
Owen Butler
>Dadrock
Does this mean puns? I love puns.

Yeah Maiden was bigger in the UK but I don't think that would matter to Cuckgau.
Slayer never sold as much as Pantera did, Pantera was pretty big for a minute which you'd think would warrant attention from Cuckgau, who's job focuses on more pop culture stuff and seems to only reluctantly review metal if it's big enough of a pop culture thing.
Korn in the 00's...let's see, after Issues and Untouchables they put out the last album with all original members, Take A Look In The Mirror, which most people only remember for the Tomb Raider video song, the gorey gross out cartoon video song, and the YALL WANNA SINGLE SAY FUCK DAT song where they destroy a record store. Then they lost Head and entered a weird realm of experimenting and never knowing where to go, See You On The Other Side they teamed up with some pop producers and tried to go in a more "industrial" kind of direction, next album they lost the drummer David and enlisted a lot of outside help including different drummers and with Jonathan himself playing some drums, and tried a weird "experimental" kind of sound. Next one they tried to make a "sequel" to the first two records with Ross Robinson and was the first with the drummer they've had ever since, Ray Luzier, after that they made a Dubstep Korn album with Skrillex and a bunch of other people from that world. After that they got Head back in the band and have released two albums with a third on the way that kind of sound like...idk, more reminiscent of old school Korn in some ways but also much more modern and mainstream alt rockish in other ways.

Anything post-David blows and is not even Korn anymore at this point.

Actually he says in general he doesn't review underground music of any genre unless it bubbles up to the mainstream.
Andrew Diaz
I liked Korn's music video for "Evolution."
Owen Ortiz
The 94 Turkey Shoot column he hinted at possibly enjoying Far Beyond Driven but didn't actually review it.
Aaron Miller
Funny that. Maybe because the album was a bit more confessional (Phil's personal problems) instead of chud-headed tough guy aggression?
Cooper Morris
Korn should have packed it in with the 90s.
Benjamin Hill
>Reign in Blood
>number 1
not even close.
Ryan Reed
Pretty much. Issues was the last really good album they made.
Jaxson Long
>unless it bubbles up to the mainstream
Which Pantera did, yet he ignored it.
Oliver Hill
A lot of times when he doesn't actually review an album, his end of year reviews or other columns have some details on it, for example the 96 end of year column mentions Neutral Milk Hotel and that he found them "funerary".
James Ross
Reinventing The Steel got a Dud rating (although this was objectively correct).
Juan Howard
At least them and RATM did pack it in with the 90s unlike Korn or Manson.
James Hughes
That was one of the issues apparently that Thurston Moore had. He complained Christgau didn't seem to care about the NYC scene at all and was filling his monthly columns with reviews of disco and pop albums back then and he said well my business is being a pop music critic and so I prefer waiting until underground scenes achieve some mainstream clout before I bother reviewing them.
Xavier Long
I admit it's really not the same feel but neo-Korn has some stuff I like

Wyatt Clark
His Metallica reviews truly are soi
Jonathan Rodriguez
I DON'T KNOW WHY
Robert Richardson
Cooper Lopez
>write a song called "i killed christgau with my big fucking dick"
>years later he gives your album an A+
Imagine cucking someone that hard, absolute chads
Lucas Gutierrez
does anyone actually take him seriously?
Grayson Brooks
He's not wrong about Candlebox and Collective Soul.
