Greatest Hits Vol. 1 (Korn album)
2004 greatest hits album by Korn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Greatest Hits Vol. 1 is a greatest hits album by American nu metal band Korn, released on October 5, 2004, by Epic and Immortal Records. The album features select tracks from their first six studio albums presented in reverse chronological order. There are two previously unreleased songs on the compilation: a cover of Cameo's "Word Up!" and a compilation of all three parts of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" and "Goodbye Cruel World". These were the final songs recorded with their full original lineup, as guitarist Brian Welch left the band shortly after the album's release in February the following year, until his return in 2013, by which time drummer David Silveria had departed permanently.

Greatest Hits Vol. 1 debuted and peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200, achieving a Platinum certification by the RIAA.[3][4] For unspecified reasons Korn left off three of their hits, "Thoughtless", "No Place to Hide" and "Good God" but included songs "Trash" and "Twist" on the album, though neither were released as singles. The version of "Freak on a Leash" on this album features an extended intro. Because of this, the back cover lists the length of the track as being 4:15 (the length of the album version on Follow the Leader), when the length of the version on this album is 4:27.
