It is as good as See You On The Other Side but for totally different reasons. It's more acoustic, scratchier and so powerful. The drums are killer, especially on 'Killing'. From 'Intro' it builds up the suspense. The songs are catchy and are more poetic than the electric See You On The Other Side. Brilliant single 'Evolution'. It shows that the band has matured but still have the evil twist in 'Innocent Bystander'; they can still distort and warp one's mind - classic. On the outside it seems they have gone for a grown up approach then you listen closely to the words - you find that "inner child". It seems mellow but the aggression does kick in; it's even noticible in the tender song of 'Kiss'. I Love It.
From the first self-titled album to the Untitled album; don't you think it is symbolic to evolution?
Forget what everyone said about korn not sticking to their '93 style or whatever. Several of the albums after that have been good and this is no exception!! Yes, their music has moved on, but if it stayed the same it would get far too boring. I would say that it has even got better through the years - some amazing songs on this album & still maintaining a lot of the heavy guitars and drums. Recommended to any fan of korn, new or old.
Right This Is The Only Korn Album I Have(I have and love some of there songs).I havnt really listnd to this album properly.My fave Songs are EVOLUTION(dont usually pick singles as a fave song but thats just amazing so's the video),and The Song Hold On It has Great Lyrics and its heavy.I Like Every song on this but i need to listen to it alot more.It's Worth the money alone for evolution.If You are a fan of Korn,Nu Metal,Metal.Then Get This Or another Korn album. ROCK ON.PEACE OUT.
I love Korn, or I used to. Their albums have been slowly departing from their original hard core sounds, especially since HEAD left the band. This album is heading in the wrong direction. I have found 3 songs I can listen to, one is actually not bad. They played a song from there new album live in Zurich a few months ago and the crowd nearly fell asleep. The deep throaty hardcore sound has gone and so have many fans. There seem to be 3 keyboards playing and the guitars are so quite...
Once again I'm a BIG fan of korn, have been since the golden days of nu-metal, but I'm sorry to say that i was a little disapointed with this album. Don't get me wrong the CD has some good tracks on it, but this is not the Korn i know and love... Maybe the loss of a guitarest and drummer has effected the song writing but what ever the problem is i'd like to see Korn bring out an album that uses the band heavy song writing skills rather than Jonathan davies trying to sound like the latest Manson album.
