What is track 1 on Korn's album "Follow the Leader"?

Track 1 on Korn’s album "Follow the Leader" is "5 Seconds of Silence."

The album’s original release begins with twelve separate tracks of silence, each lasting about five seconds. That means the first actual musical song does not begin until track 13, “It’s On!” The unusual opening can make listeners think their copy is defective or that the track listing is wrong.

Together, the twelve silent tracks create roughly one minute of silence. They are connected to “Justin,” track 22 on the album, which was inspired by a terminally ill fan named Justin who wanted to meet Korn. The band dedicated the silent opening and the song to him.

Another common source of confusion is that streaming and digital editions may display the album differently from the original CD track structure. On the original release, however, “5 Seconds of Silence” is the canonical first track. The album was released on August 18, 1998, and became Korn’s major mainstream breakthrough.
