  1. Their best since 1999's "Issues."

    While his band's skeletal, rattling rhythms, swollen with synthesizer and studio ornamentation, feel more multidimensional than ever, Davis is most compelling when he retreats into the third person to describe an unnamed, uninspired singer with a "dumb-ass song" ('Ever Be').
  3. Untitled should make no sense to any sentient being older than 18, but that isn't ageism, it's practical marketing

    I am a more recent Korn fan, I didn't ever really listen to them until a few years ago, when I heard some stuff from SYOTOS. I love this band, and that album, as well as Untitled. I think a lot of old Korn fans are missing one key point - that musicians and bands always change over time. I have Korn's greatest hits, and although it's ok, I don't especially like any of the songs on it (except for the first two, the new ones on the album, and "make me bad"). I think that the old Korn fans need to realize that their day has passed, and that Korn has changed along with it. Is the world exactly the same now as it was 12 years ago? No! It's all point of view - Korn has changed their music to fit new feelings, a new time period, and a new generation of fans. The band is different now than it was before, and it won't be going back - but that;s the nature of music. Old Korn fans need to realize that the band doesn't just all of a sudden suck, but instead they are a new sound for a new audience. Expand

    See You On The Other Side was a masterpiece - KoRn's best work since Issues and a bold, inventive new direction for the band. Untitled, on the other hand, sounds like a rushed, hollow cousin to SYOTOS that lacks most of the punch and, frankly, sounds unfinished. Be that as it may, this is KoRn - it's just KoRn without the memorable hooks and overall consistency that made albums like SYOTOS and Issues in constant rotation in my music library. KoRn fans should check out Untitled, but it's by no stretch their greatest album. Hopefully the band will return to the amazing style of SYOTOS with future records because overall, this sounds like two steps backwards for one of the most sonically creative and powerful bands of our time.

    'Untitled' is a truly loathsome album, abandoning completely what the band and the fan base long for. Poorly constructed NIN songs and even worse lyrics leave us with the hate-inducing 'Hushabye' and 'Hold On'. Expand
