It's not even an important nu-metal album, nevermind beyond that scope.

A mate of mine used to listen to it all the time. I had veered into more underground territory in my listening habits by then and found it really fucking awful to listen to. Even by nu metal standards it was pretty bad. I remember the production being really weak, with thin wimpy sounding guitars. If you put it next to a Korn,  Deftones or SOAD production it sounded quite lifeless. And the songs were desperate. I haven't heard it since back then but I can't imagine it has aged well. I was watching Rick Beato dissecting Freak On A Leash by Korn the other day and it struck me how complex their music was/is. The production on Follow the Leader is quite impressive. I wonder if I could get through the entire album these days... it's on the shelf... maybe....

Disturbed were even more embarrassing than their counterparts.

Never liked Follow the Leader, they had run their course for me at that stage, but went back to Life Is Peachy a few years ago and it was ridiculous.

Particularly galling is how much of a Christian it's lead singer claims to be yet he's signing bombs to drop on innocent people.

Ridiculous as in terrible? I used to enjoy it from time to time. Reminded me of JK on the radio, where I first heard it as a teen and thought it was deadly.

Ya, utter shite. Nostalgia couldn't save it. May give it another lash though at some point.

All day I dream about sex. I appreciate the sentiment but as a song title... heavens above!
