I bought the album because at the time of the release, I wasn't listening to Korn anymore. What I was hearing on the radio didn't interest me one bit. Once my musical tastes started to get more diverse, I decided to pick this album up. I'm really glad I got it now as opposed to a couple of years ago. The style is very different from past albums and that's a good thing. It's nice to see an artist try different things and sounds, if they didn't and stayed the same way they were back when they started to get notoriety, I probably won't listen to it. Overall, the album is great. The song have structure, and the sound is heavy yet distinguishable. Totally worth the buy.
Head left the band, and Korn promised a total reinvention of who they are and what they'll sound like. Typical hype from just about every band, right? Wrong. For once, the record lived up to the hype. From the opening track, "Twisted Transistor", to the haunting closer, "Tearjerker", this album is a rock rollercoaster. Korn have officially shed the tired and watered down nu-metal sound they helped pioneer, and have instead focused on creating something entirely new. The album is definitely more a straight-forward hard rock record, but that shouldn't be looked upon negatively at all. There are still many tunes that rock, and rock like only Korn know how to do. If you're looking for tunes that really define Korn's new sound, I would suggest checking out "10 Or A 2-Way", "Throw Me Away", or "Seen It All". If you're looking for some songs in the vein of classic Korn, then definitely check out songs like "Liar", "For No One", and "Hypocrites". Korn's record label touted this CD as "the evolution of HEAVY", and while many will agree its not as balls outright heavy as prior Korn works, this is still a CD with some heavy songs on there, while showcasing a brand new side of Korn that most of us didn't know they had. They've unleashed some very heavily industrial tinged songs, as well as some great mainstream rock tracks. Overall you'll be hard pressed to find anything wrong with this CD! If you purchase the deluxe edition, you're treated to a second disc containing 2 live videos, a couple remixes, and 3 extra tracks that didn't make the album's final cut - "Eaten Up Inside", "Last Legal Drug" (a track very reminiscent of Marilyn Manson), and the insanely heavy and double bass (yes, double bass) loaded "It's Me Again". If you enjoy Korn's newer sound, this is the album for you. If you were growing tired of the boring nu-metal sound, this is the album for you. Out of a 5 point scale, I would definitely give it a 5!Read full review
Just as described, great selection of music, very well detailed info. I decided to buy this cd because Korn is a leader in the rock musci today, very good level of musicians. I bought it because i want to star my collection of cd from Korn, i plan to have them all. Their music is one of the best i have ever heard. Thanks
I HAVE BEEN A FAN OF KORN SINCE THEY APPEARED ON THE MUSIC SCENE. I LIKE ALL THEIR ALBUMS BUT, I THOUGHT THE LAST COUPLE WERE A LITTLE SOFT. THIS ALBUM HOWEVER IS PROBABLY THEIR BEST SINCE THEIR FIRST IN MY OPINION. IF YOU ARE A FAN OF NINE INCH NAILS, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, TOOL AND SEVENDUST YOU WILL LIKE THIS ALBUM. JON DAVIS'S QUIRKY LYRICS AND EERIE VOCALS ARE AT THEIR BEST. ALSO THE THE GUYS ARE BACKING UP DAVIS WITH MORE OF A OVERALL FEROCIOUS MELODIC METAL CRUNCH THAN ON THEIR MORE RECENT ALBUMS. ALL IN ALL I THINK THIS A GREAT ALBUM FROM THE FIRST SONG TO TO THE LAST. I WOULD GIVE IT A 9 OUT OF 10.
If you are a Korn fan buy it.
