are they really compared to Helmet and Pantera? neither sound anything like Korn....and i would think that only Pantera would attract the same listeners
anyways to answer your question....no not at all
in no way am i "hatin'" on Korn....although i can't stand them....but in all honesty i couldn't stand them when that album came out....i will say they were in many ways different and by all means talented....just not my cup of tea
i also agree to a point that they very much opened up a market for the music they played...and probably had as much to do with the fusion of "metal" and rap as Rage Against the Machine did
as far as being innovators of dark personal lyrics....no...they just made it popular and radio friendly
