I've always liked the band Korn but was never a diehard fan or anything. I liked their "mid-career" stuff but then they just seemed to lose direction in my opinion. A friend of mine got the newest album and it blew us away. The songs are faster than anything they have other done and it is heavy, but not muddy-sounding, etc. The riffs and style of music sounds a lot like something Sevendust would do. Anyway, if you even remotely like Korn, you should give it a listen.
 
I thought it was ok, nothing good really..and im a huge korn fan.
 
Huge Korn fan... the album sucks... theres 2-3 decent songs and the rest is filler, some of the most cookie cutter lyrics I've ever heard from Jonathan...

Cool you dig it though, that's what music is all about :thumbsup:
 
Did they dump the Dubstep crap on the new one?


Found a few songs on youtube

This one sounds decent

 
The few songs I have heard sound OK, but doesn't love up to the expectation that everyone had about Head re-joining the band.
 
Wow, I'm surprised more people don't dig this. I think I like the faster Korn songs though and this is filled with that type of stuff. It doesn't sound like typical Korn but I think there are a lot of cool tones on it.
 
They have done nothing I wanted to listen to after Follow The Leader.

You should give this latest one a listen. I'm just curious what others think about it. To me it is different than anything they have done but maybe I'm sniffing glue....:)
 
I like what I've heard so far a LOT better than anything they've done recently. They need Brian in that band, period. First two albums were amazing and unique.
 
"Untouchables" is one of my faves - maybe that's why I'm pretty happy with this one. It is Korn all the way - but it's new too. Some electronic stuff, yeah, but it is driven by a rhythmic riff the way they ought to be.
 
I checked it out. I found it fairly generic sounding rock. Most of the groves were straight up rock beats with the bass mixed way low for a Korn album (ie, mixed like a standard rock bass). For the most part it had the standard Korn sound, albeit weak and thinned out. I felt the album lacked the feel that Korn typically generates. There was no strong driving grooves. I feel you could've had any band play those songs and they'd still sound correct.

I wouldn't say this album was faster... It's the same mid tempo they normally play at.

I don't fault bands for wanting to change over time but I don't find this album particularly exciting. That said, aside from the odd song here and there I haven't really liked anything after Life is Peachy.

I am probably the oddball, but I LOVE the Dubstep album before this one. They definitely did something different and new on that one...
 
Check out Brian's first solo album "Save me from Myself". I actually found that to be one of the best Korn related albums all the way through.
 
They were my favorite band from 11-16. I was excited to see hear what they had come up with after head rejoined. I assumed that it would be closer to their old stuff but was disappointed when I heard the album. I went to see them live though, they played mostly old songs, it was awesome :rock:
 
Cant say I was a fan. Take A Look In The Mirror was great, but lost all interest after that.
