Lyrically however, the album goes in the other direction, with individual lines standing out over any bigger picture Davis tries to paint. Perhaps moreso than any other Korn release, the songs of Untitled blend together to the point that it's very difficult to distinguish individual tracks even when Korn throw some variety into the mix like with the subdued "Kiss" or the ambient verses of "Hushabye". The fact that songs like "Bitch, We Got a Problem" are being written by guys in their late 30s makes them seem all the more ridiculous. While Korn have always thrived on teen angst, it becomes repetitive by album 8 and one has to wonder when they're going to, you know, cheer up a bit.

Much of Untitled follows the same pattern flat, unoriginal, uninspired and difficult to take seriously. Untitled begins with an 'evil carnival' ambient intro a sound that has been done so many times before that it's extremely difficult to take seriously in this context. Unfortunately, Korn's days of originality are long behind them, with Untitled hammering yet another nail into their ever-increasingly airtight coffin. Their chugging downtuned riffs, coupled with their hip-hop influences and the versatility of singer Jonathan Davis created a sound that was original, unlike most of their followers and imitators.

For most Korn fans, their appeal always lay within their aesthetic rather than their songwriting or the performance of any individual members. Unfortunately, the added electronic textures and the highly processed feel of the record cause it to sound unoriginal and feel uninspired. Korn teamed up with The Matrix for See You On the Other Side (presumably to jumpstart the band's sound after the departure of Head) and are joined here by them again. Singer Jonathan Davis announces that he is writing an opera and the band record and release Untitled as a three-piece.Īpologies for the history lesson, but it's necessary to understand the mid-life woes that Korn seem to be horribly afflicted with, certainly in the past few years (2007 especially) and undoubtedly on Untitled. Korn appear on the MTV Unplugged program. Korn team up with production team The Matrix and See You On the Other Side is released at the end of the year.Ģ007 - Drummer Dave Silveria goes on "hiatus" and sits out on the recording of Untitled. The principal of said high school declares their music to be "indecent, vulgar and obscene"ġ999 - Korn releases Issues, which does away with a good amount of their hip-hop influence, proving them to be ahead of most their peersĢ002 - Untouchables is released and Take a Look in the Mirror is released the following yearĢ005 - Guitarist Brian "Head" Welch leaves the band following a rather radical conversion to Christianity. For those who haven't quite yet caught up, here's a brief rundown of some of the more notable points of their career:ġ994 - Korn releases their self-titled debut which becomes one of the pillars of the nu-metal genreġ996 - Life is Peachy is released to immediate success, hitting number three on the pop chartsġ998 - A high school student is suspended for wearing a Korn shirt to school while the band are recording their third album, Follow the Leader (which becomes one of their most successful records to date).

Given their history (in this decade especially), it's almost admirable that they haven't split up or at least faded into obscurity. To say that it's been a bumpy ride for Korn over the last few years is to make the understatement of the decade. Let's just be honest here: the notion of Korn being relevant in 2007 is laughable at best and ridiculous at most realistic. Review Summary: Untitled hammers yet another nail into Korn's coffin.
