Follow the Leader (Korn)

|
Follow the Leader is KOЯN's third album and a departure from their first two albums. It was released on August 18, 1998. It is generally recognized as their breakthrough album.
The album features numerous guest vocalists, including Ice Cube on "Children of the Korn", Tre Hardson of Pharcyde on "Cameltosis" and Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst on "All In The Family". Actor Cheech Marin provides vocals on "Earache My Eye", a cover of the song from the Cheech and Chong movie Up in Smoke, with the rest of the band trading instruments for the song.
The album begins on track 13, following 12 tracks of silence, as the band felt it would be unlucky to have thirteen (credited) songs on the album.
