    This album is exactly what the band needed, a freakin shot in the arm! This is what all the great bands do, evolve and stay relevant. The best way to listen to these songs is definitely live, they are amazing. If not live, through good headphones is the next best. A suggestion for the next album would be to let Munky turn off distortion and some of the other pedals and rip out a solo This album is exactly what the band needed, a freakin shot in the arm!

A suggestion for the next album would be to let Munky turn off distortion and some of the other pedals and rip out a solo every once in a while. This album, however, is complete without it. Including the B-sides really enchances the quality of the album, but you'd have to go out of your way to get them. Definitely buy the limited edition with the bonus disc.… Expand

    The CD was a change from the norm... I havn't decided weither it was for the best or worst. I'm reviewing it for a school newspaper, but am not sure even what to say! Twisted Transistor, was good, but had REALLY LONG INTRO! I think that a majority of the songs were better, but there were some I didn't like, (Hypocrites). Will comment when I figure out what else I want to say.

    Not like any other album, but this was definitely a good one. Not my favorite but deserves respect for going on after losing Head.

    These guys take heavy metal to a whole new level. They've set the bar extremely high! I mean, look how popular they are. A 10 is a fair grade. However dont get the edited version. TOO MANY CENCORS... Brothers and Sisters, rejoice! The album worth worshipping is finally here! Now bow down, before I pop a cap in your skull.

    Korn has definitely branched out on this album. So many different sounds yet there's no mistaking it's Korn. Love Song and Tearjerker have a dark, melodic feel to them. Hypocrites and Liar may have a message for a certain someone? Maybe. Coming Undone has great rhythm to it. The songs are all incredible.

I highly recommend adding this album to your collection!… Expand

    i think this album is superb. it's about time that they started going in a new direction. obviously i will always love their old stuff, but this album is simply awsome. i would say overall the album is korn mixed with a newish pink floyd/ nin style throwing in a dash of morphine on some tracks

    This is a great album. Whether or not the songs were written by Korn or some producer they are great. Like untouchables, this is a highly produced studio album that is nonetheless gaining rave reviews. The only bad reviews are coming from sick kids who will never be satisfied with any post-life is peachy korn or indie loving critics who have hated korn from the beginning.

    This is a very good album as it has every thing. only 2 songs didnt appeal to me instantly but now they are growing on me every time i hear them. the last song tearjerker is one of the best korn songs ever. And also the artwork for the cd is just soo good check it out

    While I doubt anyone is going to give Korn the praise that they rightly deserve, I am now convinced that they have it within themselves to evolve and become something more than what they once were. In the beginning it was all about power chords and deep, heavy bass lamented with growls and odd sounds coming from the vocal cords of Jon Davis. Since then, we've seen them rise to great While I doubt anyone is going to give Korn the praise that they rightly deserve, I am now convinced that they have it within themselves to evolve and become something more than what they once were. In the beginning it was all about power chords and deep, heavy bass lamented with growls and odd sounds coming from the vocal cords of Jon Davis. Since then, we've seen them rise to great heights (Life is Peachy, Follow the Leader), and fall to new lows (Untouchables, anyone?). However, I believe that after a period of complacency, they have finally returned to the music foray with something intelligent, sonically heavy, and overall a worthy addition to any hard rock, nu-metal, or industrial library. See You on the Other Side, while still having a few defects, is easily the best Korn album of the 21st century.… Expand

    one band member less, a fusion of early anger and newmelodics,and munky keeping it together. if the fans like it so what? bands are allowed to develop and progress their sound,who cares what the critics think,i dont think korn intended to make a commercial album .they should be respected as a band but this is just my opinion,everyone alowed one.also i bet korn are making more money than one band member less, a fusion of early anger and newmelodics,and munky keeping it together. if the fans like it so what? bands are allowed to develop and progress their sound,who cares what the critics think,i dont think korn intended to make a commercial album .they should be respected as a band but this is just my opinion,everyone alowed one.also i bet korn are making more money than the critics and they are jealous! korn are the best thing to hav happened to the music scene since sliced bread...they deserve credit for still sticking together for so many years.and all korn fans who appreciate their music and accept thy can't write another issues or 'korn' will love the album.so listen to it more than once people along with the rest of the albums so you can make a valid judgement.korn fan over and out!… Expand

    When i saw Twisted Transister on MTV, i knew this album would be good and i was right. Its better that untouchables and take a look in the mirror bt nt as good as the earlier ones. Wheres the screaming and pain. I like tear jerker only becuase i always wanted a slow song from korn and thats what i got. :)

    Good stuff from an underrated band who spawned an underrated genre. Although not as great as "Untouchables" or their self-titled debut, it beats the snot out of the lame, generic "Take a Look In the Mirror" Jonathin explores some new topics sometimes with success ("Hypocrites") and sometimes with failure (some of the icky sex tracks) But the hooks are heavy yet at the same time Good stuff from an underrated band who spawned an underrated genre.

    Not as good as take a look in the mirror or untouchables but still has great hooks with songs like coming undone and liar.I think they changed their sound because head left,too much of a change for me.They should return to their harder sounds and lose all the computer generated sounds.

    this one is kind of a mix between untouchables and tke a look in the mirror, although not as interesting and inspired as the first one. has a few really good moments like politics, love song and open up, but the industrial flavour just souind like poor manson meet poor NIN. jonathan should realize also that he does NOT has to give us bagpipes and mumbles allways and in this album his this one is kind of a mix between untouchables and tke a look in the mirror, although not as interesting and inspired as the first one. has a few really good moments like politics, love song and open up, but the industrial flavour just souind like poor manson meet poor NIN. jonathan should realize also that he does NOT has to give us bagpipes and mumbles allways and in this album his effort to give SYOTOS the korn kliché is just embaracing.… Expand

    Surprisingly strong effort considering that they lost their guitarist who wrote so much of their music and how far into their career the band is. This is far more engaging than the last album and one of the best heavy albums I've heard in some time.

    A lot of people will hate this record because it is a somewhat drastic departure from Korn's traditional sound. As most will know, Head (brian Welsch) has left, and it seems he's taken the 'ga-gunk-g-ga-gaaah' riffing sound with him. In its place, though, are haunting melodies, epic vocal lines, and funky rythms. It's like evil pop music on psychodelic drugs.

    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]
