The lyrics are a real let down apart from the chorus, the lyrics are extremely clich 'you know who you are so now look at me what do you have to say' and the extremely laughable bridge 'melting to the madness/hands up if you can feel this'. The song starts with a distorted-slow intro, before moving into one of the best intro's on the album, the song soon disappoints, with the verse kicking in. One of the best on the album, one of the best and more emotional songs Korn has written. Great guitar riffs used, but as with the album only 1 guitar has been recorded, and the lack of depth from the guitars is definitely noticed. The song has a simple chorus, 'Hypocrites! I'm gonna do it blind! But works extremely well with the song. A heavy guitar riff launches us into the verse with a typical and predictable verse, but a great lead up to the chorus. Almost a direct attack at ex-member Head with Jonathon repeating, 'Your messiah was never mine'. One of the best songs on the album, and definitely one of the best intro's Korn have written. Good song, definitely a new direction for Korn. The interlude again is completely different, with almost 70's rock-sounding lyrics. This is a solid song, as Jonathon really explores his vocal range. The verses build up well, and this song has definitely grown on me since my first listen. The drumming is great in this song, but the chorus is a let down. This is Korn's attempt at pulling off a political song, and comes off with mixed results. The sound of Jonathan"s voice sounds very similar to Untouchables, before leading into the bridge. ![]() This song starts off with a great guitar riff, but then goes into a distorted voice. Overall a catchy song, probably one of the best from the album and should be great live. The vocals are very different for Jon, but suit the song well, the bass is almost non-existent (a welcomed break from earlier albums!) and the drumming is a real let-down. The song itself is relatively catchy, yet the guitar really seems to lack, as only 1 guitar part was written for most of the songs, which was a bad idea considering they hire someone to play live so 2 guitar parts could have easily been played. The album version features a 1 minute intro of Industrial noises and really ambience noises, signaling maybe a change of genre for Korn. The first single from the album and the listener can instantly tell that this album is going to be different. If you are a die-hard Nu-Metal Korn fan, brace yourself onto the tracks. ![]() The album is not a failure it is a rather good listen and is significantly different to anything Korn have done before. ![]() This album sounds like nothing Korn has done before, it is not as heavy, and Jon's lyrics are about different subjects, rather than his life, including sex, politics and obviously the departure of Head. From the first listen, it is easy to see the band has moved away from Nu-Metal significantly, with the major influences coming from Industrial sounding effects and instruments throughout the album. The band themselves claim to be at their all-time best and have graced us with a follow-up to T.A.L.I.T.M with 2005's 'See You on the Other Side'. Korn have explored to the outer edge of Nu-Metal with some glorious results (Life is Peachy, Issues) but have also failed trying to find new material with their last two releases (Untouchables and the dreadful Take a Look in the Mirror).Ĭome 2005, the band have lost one half of their guitar-duo, Head, who has found the Lord Jesus as his saviour and decided to give up playing in Korn. Since their 1994 release, Korn have released 5 albums as well as a Greatest Hits. ![]() The music was new, two 7-stringed guitars, loud hip-hop like bass, pounding drums and the growley voice of depressed teenager Jonathon Davis.Īre You Ready?!!!" signalled the intent of Korn from the start, and started the bands infamous career with a simple yet heavy guitar riff starting 'Blind'. Korn's self-titled 1994 is regarded as their finest work to date and contains some of the most emotional and explicit lyrics every conveyed by a lyricist or metal band. Hate them or love them everybody has heard of Nu-Metal giants Korn, who have single-handedly created a new genre of Metal music and who changed the face of heavy music throughout the late 1990's.
