    Being a KoRn fan from way back when their first album debut, I must say since the departure of Brian "Head" Welch and since they have "mainstream" writers in their inventory of song making KoRn has been toned downed, water downed, and what pains me to say the most, they have gone against what KoRn mainly about, selling out. Although granted this new CD will gain the band new mainstream Being a KoRn fan from way back when their first album debut, I must say since the departure of Brian "Head" Welch and since they have "mainstream" writers in their inventory of song making KoRn has been toned downed, water downed, and what pains me to say the most, they have gone against what KoRn mainly about, selling out.

    I was very reluctant in buying this album. After I heard that Head had left to live in a Christian life i thought the instrumentals would go up **** creek without the paddle. And in ways this harped true and in others it didnt. munky did step up to a degree.

    Also when i heard that Korn enlisted production company The Matrix (pop producers responsible for acts such as Pink and Avril Lavigne) I thought they were doing a desperate for more chart topping songs.
    The result, a more pop rock album than their previous efforts with singles 'Twisted Transistor' and ' Coming Undone' Very Reminiscent of the Follow the Leader Singles.
    Its a pop metal/hard rock album that more a miss than a hit.
    But after losing a band member and enlisting the producers they did its leaves the direction and experimentation of the band in limbo.
    Not a failure of an album, but it is certainly unimpressive and uninspiring compared to previous albums.    … Collapse

    A competent if rather static affair, Korn successfully re-enter the mainstream with SYOTOS, with Matrix adding a new liege of life to a dwindling fan base and harsh critics. 'Love Song', 'Seen It All' and 'Twisted Transistor' give fresh air to a stale genre, and it works enough for the band.

    This album is definitely not the worst thing that Korn has ever made, but I feel that I might want to throw some Middle ground reviews in this album, pointing out both the bad and the good.

    Things this album does good: The instruments actually sounds alright. Liar is definitely one of the better songs in the album Its really catchy. Things this album does bad: Johnathan    This album is definitely not the worst thing that Korn has ever made, but I feel that I might want to throw some Middle ground reviews in this album, pointing out both the bad and the good.

    Things this album does good:

    The instruments actually sounds alright.
    Liar is definitely one of the better songs in the album
    Its really catchy.

    Things this album does bad:

    Johnathan Davis' Lyrics sounds really repetitive, this is worst in Coming Undone. Where every word sounds like the same pitch, same tone, same everything throughout the whole song. It has absolutely no deviation from what the lyrics introduce. This is also a problem throughout the whole album but Coming Undone has it worst.

    The album doesn't have many different sounding songs throughout the whole listening. They all sound like a regular album with how it sounds. But up until this point Korn has had at least 2 songs that break from the norm in an album. And seeing that this is the 7th album and this is somehow a problem is kinda sad.

    Its really catchy...

    Synopsys:

    This album has many ups and downs, but it definitely has more downs than ups. The catchyness of this album is mainly a byproduct of how repetitive the album sounds, People can easily remember how Coming Undone sounds because it's basically the same sound. Over and Over again. But since that sound sounds good people like it a lot. The easiest part to tell that it's repetitive is the drums. It's literally the same thing throughout the whole song.

    I feel that Major Critics are really Biased in the ways they review things, just like this album. There was only one Negative review. This album definitely requires people to listen to it more than one time to give it a fair review. Saying it's the best thing Korn put out is like saying Magenta Chalk is better than all the other chalk pieces in the chalk box.

    Though if I want to be honest, I feel that a persons opinion shouldn't be swayed by others' opinion unless they want their opinion to change. I want people to give me valid reasons why something is good or bad. and If they don't do that they my opinion isn't going to change. Obviously people like this album because it's their opinion.

    What I tried to do in this review is give an in between review of how this album is both bad and good. It has it's moments but it also has more bad moments than the other albums. Untouchables is just one big great moment. And Take a look in the mirror has neither good or bad moments...    … Expand

    If rap-metal were ever meant to evolve, See You on the Other Side is the record that does it.

    Its center becomes weighed down with bland mid-tempo numbers and the final song detracts from the powerhouse close the record might have had.

    For the most part, the producers simply add audio garnishing to Korn's signature sound via loops and Pro Tools trickery. [10 Dec 2005]
