Ready for the evolution Many of these tracks rank among my favorites. Privileged to own. Whatever direction they want to go, I support it.
Every Korn Album Wrapped Into One
They had suddenly turned from dark and miserable to catchy and almost poppy. After SYOTOS I wasn't sure what Korn was trying to accomplish. At that time I left more embarrassed to be a Korn fan than anything else. The other fans they began to attract didn't help either.
Having abandoned my radio for years I bought this album the day it came out without having heard any of the songs. I even walked to the store while I was sick just to buy it. Korn was a major part of my life (especially the Follow The Leader era) growing up and I still had hope in the band. I was not going to give up on them just yet. Im glad I didn't.
The remaining members of Korn seem to have reflected back on all their previous works creating a musical collage and woven it together with a new attitude. The result is an "evolved" Korn. Different, yet still the same.
Personally I only have one complaint about the album. That is the vocals. They seem to be more forced and lack the sarcastic slur and psychotic laugh behind his voice. It set Davis apart from every other vocalist. This could simply be the years of vocals paying its toll.
Nevertheless, it is still a solid album and should be appreciated by all generations of Korn fans.

By no means a great album
Sure there are good songs on here, I listen to them all the time, but most of thr songs are kind of unlistenable. Korn can do way better than this. This is not the Korn I remember.
Ghostly, Hauntingly Awesome
This album was a enjoyable release from their usual heavy riffs and it has a definite atmospheric and almost ghostly feel to it. I've been a advid KoRn fan ever since I was in middle school. It's still heavy, very heavy, but even on the first track they managed to blend heavy with a haunting lull torwards the end that brings tears to my eyes. The first track on the album "Starting Over" has to do with the near death experience that Johnathan Davis experienced. The got Terry Bozzio to play drums on this album and he definitely gives it a little something different. I advise to get the deluxe bonus edition with the extra DVD and album work. They are down to three members and I hope to see them reunited on stage again someday. This album is a MUST BUY! Please don't illegally download KoRn's music, they worked very hard to get this album off the ground and they need your support. .
"Hold on..bee strong"
But their new album will sound like the "older" KoRn that we all grew to love. Don't lose faith in KoRn guys! Yes any TRUE KORN fan like me will tell you
that their last 2 albums were horrible and Take a look in the mirror was mediocre.
Jonathan davis isn't getting into the sound, Ross Robinson (producer of Korns first 2 albums)
and the rest of the band will create the sound. Even Jonathan said they are going for an old school
sound that people can bang their heads to and go wild. Come on. . have some faith, this next album should win
us Solid Korn fans over again. This might be their last chance ,pleeease dont f*** it up.
