More pointless, banal tripe for the under-18 set by a cynical group of talentless fools who have managed to maintain a consistent image. This is the opposite of art.

I admit it.... I was WORRIED. I've been a KORN fan since 1993, and I have blissfully watched them evolve each and every album. However, like any great musican or band of, they have to grow and learn. Their influences are obvious and musically, creatively, it is absolutely AMAZING!!

while Korn's newest album is nothing overly impressive, it does have a few pretty good songs scattered among the more-or-less average track list. See You on the Other Side was better, but this album does have that distinct Korn flavor to it, and therefore doesn't dissapoint. much.

It gets 1 mark beacuse its a rock CD (ie : not awful hiphop). I'm sorry Jonathan Davis, this is just utter crap. None of the songs have any sort of tune, it's just a lot of noise. The intro sounds like a dying elephant. Its CDs like this that give rock a bad name. The album cover art, both inside and out, is psycotic. WTF ? Why is Davis so obsessed with little boys. I think someone had a fetish, what a weirdo. Most metal fans would wince at these images, who wants to look at a decapitated hen up a sealions anus or something. Or Davis tapping a little boy on the head and looking suggestivley. I just don't get it and frankly I don't want to. The vocals are awful, it's just whispering tbh. It sounds like someone imitating the vocals on Guns N Roses (not a good thing). What happened to Korn ? What happened to crisp metal tracks like Here to Stay, or Twisted Transistor ? This is just garbage, and it's going straight back to the Virgin shop tommorow, at the crack of dawn. (Yes, I kept the receipt Jonny. You're not getting any money out of this pile of poop). If you're into metal, then I strongly suggetst you pick up Sehnsucht by Rammstein whilst taking this shite back. If, you have truly good taste in music, pick up the untilted blink 182 album or angels and airwaves or +44 instead.… Expand

Absolutely amazing album, I've listened to it about 15 times since i got it last week. Every song is brilliant, except maybe Ever Be, which is still decent. Oh yeah, get the deluxe edition - the DVD with it is class!

I've listened to the album a couple times and I can say it isn't the Korn from years ago. They've really grown up and are evolving. I loved the screaming, yelling, and anger in their old stuff but I also enjoy the lighter side of Korn.

I think that it goes without saying that if you are one who wants Korn to sound like their 1st album every sigle time, this is not the one for you. If you are the type who believes that Korn is "rap metal" or that "they only sing about JD's childhood issues" or that "they always sound the same" than you should give this CD a listen. It is Korn's most mature CD, it is heavy while at the same time sounding very different from anything the band has done. And it is one of the most catchy albums I have heard in a long time with songs that get stuck in your head for days. I have come to find that anyone who hates Korn will never be swayed from their positions, but if you are a true Korn fan, you will love this album.… Expand

I recently got the deluxe edition, and I have to say that this album rocks. Easily their best in a long time. Buy it, you wont be disappointed

Been a long time korn fan and i adore this album. It did take 2 listens through to get used to it but it grew big on me! recommended to all korn fans!

Yep...Pretty bad. Oh yeah and I'VE been listening to Korn since before I was born and I'm 10 now so I'm a real Korn fan! I know better than all of you! When do we get a new Bizkit album cuz they're classic too! And did I mention I know more than all of you?!

Something happened to Korn after Issues. #1. Guitars that sound like guitars. #2. Jon wailing instead of moaning #3. Simplified, more shallow soundscape. Based on the above, I don't think I'll ever listen to a post-Issues album with anything but distaste in my mouth. All of the 'tasteful, powerful aggression' has gone (esp. in his voice). All of the "You've never heard a guitar sound like this before" has gone. All of the "No band sounds like this" is gone. Instead they sound like a copy of themselves. I don't want it to sound like old Korn, but I feel the direction they went conflicts with the reasons I liked them in the earlier work. My guess at why? They became too big and stopped listening to their producers. Partial blame on the Queen of the Damned soundtrack. Ross Robinson FTW! … Expand

rate this album what you like, but Raffi...why the french did you give this album 10/10 on the basis of hearing two out of it's thirteen tracks? I think this album is pathetic to be honest.

I find most songs very good and the songs look very different, though there are one or two songs I don't like. Still one of KoRns best albums ever!

Cracking album,does not warrant the critical panning its getting,bands have to progress and move on,some bands do and fail [metallica] for example, korn have moved on matured and have passed with honours, can`t wait for the 2008 uk tour. I'm sure the critics will be silenced.

The first time I listened to Untitled I was really disappointed, but the more I listened to it the better it sounded. Now I can't stop listening to it and it keeps sounding better. All the haters want Korn to keep rehashing their old sound, which was great back then, but they've gotten older and their music is changing for the better. Great album.

wow this sucks

I was intrigued by the electronic tweaking of their sound on SYOTOS and on this album they seem to have perfected it. One of the reasons I keep following this group is that every time their sound starts to get old they tweak it and subtly reinvent themselves without losing the base sound that put people on to them in the first place. This album is a good example of this.

This sucks! Doesn't anyone yearn for the raw agreesive power of the first 3 albums? Why do bands feel like they must "evolve," when most of the time this "evolution" makes the band sound like crap. I am a true Korn fan since the beginning...so I'm giving it a 2/10 for recognizing the effort and layering that went into this album and "Innocent Bystander" reminds me of why I started to listening to this band in the first place.… Expand

This album is amazing. Wow how can you not buy this album? its just like their old stuff...a lot better than See You On The Other Side. its great its heavy its got amazing lyrics its overall the best album of the year!!!!!!!

Aside from tracks 9 & 10 this is the most solid album since Untouchables. I think KoRn will only get better at this point.

The album moves in more directions than most of the previous, however they are just as creative as they were from day one.

Korn has been my favourite band since i was 4. I am very dissapointed in there latest album however.. it has the same alternative sound as "see you on the otherside" which lacks the pain an torment in jonathans voice and lyrics.I dont like the way it sounds so commercial. Fieldy, ure bass is as excellent as always. James, ure guitar playing rocks. But it seems that jonathan isnt as angry and hurt as he use to be and i think thats what attracted the old school Korn fans. i just feel that the old Korn is gone and the new one isnt close to what the band i loved use to be.… Expand

They have so lost the plot there last good album was there debut

Korn's latest album is best defined by evolution- their best song on the CD and is inevitably the result of mixing in sound from their previous CD to their more traditional, very heavy sound. The result is something I dont think any Korn fan can dislike.

It's fantastic

I've been a fan of korn since self-entitled and I think this is just another great album to add to the list. Most critics just don't get it, they're too busy comparing "Untitled" to the only album they know, "Follow the Leader". Oh well, true fans know a good album when they hear it.

I see no reason to listen to the other user commenters on this page. Obviously most of the previous posters have a vested interest in Korn and can't be trusted to provide an impartial review. I consider my self to have a wide range of musical tastes. That said, I've listened to this album and it is terrible. It's simple music for depressed teenagers written by emotionally stunted (or just market-savvy) 40-year-olds. I would be surprised that Korn is still around, but the market they target is large and will lap up pretty much anything you throw at them.… Expand

I think that this album is not for old school Korn fans, but I also dont think the "new school" will like it either. I just wasnt impressed.

I love the new songs!!! killing is my favorite. yet another amazing korn cd!

Great new sound for korn. its been on repeat since i got it wensday!

I think its the best KoRn-album since FTL. All songs are great and I personaly dont like about new albums right away, but this is just perfect.

This album is just about the worst thing ever!

I have all KoRn cds, and even on first listening it was clear that this is one of their best albums, probably only surpassed by the epic masterpiece known as Untouchables. This untitled album is their most diverse and experimental offering to date, with not one filler track. Each track blends into the next perfectly to create the most consistent and polished album of their career thus far. It's difficult to pick a single favourite track, but if forced I would pick the grand finale, I Will Protect You, which, strangely for KoRn, provides a positive concluding message about Jonathan coming through his near-fatal illness for his children. The choirs add a further epic film-score esque touch to an already grandiose and triumphant closer. And Bozzio's drumming during the bridge is simply the most complex and impressive performance on the record.… Expand

every songs in the album is amazing...it just keeps getting better and better as you listen to it

Great album from any point of view. This is mature Korn. Has the same eerie feeling as Untouchables although not as heavy = ( But still great!!! Every song except for Hushabye is amazing!

All of the other albums are important to my collection. Some of the tracks on those albums weren't very good but I liked them anyway. This album .. it wouldn't really bother me if it got scratched. Doesn't catch my ear like the other albums. Maybe next time?

It's a solid album overall, which grows with each listen. Guilty of being slightly overproduced, and there's a distinct lack of ass-kicking riffery, but the band do manage to incorporate an eerie progressive feel to a number of tracks. This ensures that, while it may not be their finest album and they've yet to find a comfortable niche outside of their trademark "nu-metal", Korn are a band who are willing to push their boundaries and evolve.… Expand

This is probably Korn's weakest album. My favorite songs on this were Bitch We've Got A Problem and Starting Over. I own this album along with 9 other Korn albums.

This album is not the best cd in the world but there are good songs on it like Evolution, Innocent Bystander, Killing and others and I got it for 10$ at Wal-mart and i think its worth it but if you want to buy a KoRn cd their other ones are better

This album puts korn into a direction that they had not yet travelled into the semi-industrial rock arena. Though it is a far cry from the powerful aggression and disturbing themes of years past its easy to tell the loss of band members and the ever ageing remainders, the sound is more mature and respectful. But the empire that is KoRn seems to be losing ground on what they used to be, fans should only start being worried when it becomes obvious that records are being made for money and not out of cretive influences… Expand

I've only heard two songs off of this album, and i already love it. as long as they keep coming out with good music, I'll keep buying their work.

Looking at the critic reviews, you can tell that they are either intentionially trying to sound smart to impress and come off as utterly pretentious OR they never really listened to Korn nor appreciate what they have done in music. I have followed Korn since their inception and I am a realist. I am a true fan and can admit when they release a subpar album (like Take a Look in the Mirror) or a truly good one. Simply put, their latest outing (Untitled) is Korn at their best since Issues in 1999. MTV Unplugged meant well but their style of music doesn't translate well to an acoustic form. SYOTOS relied too heavily on the electronic sound and while it had some high points, I won't be getting those songs stuck in my head anytime soon. The same goes for Untouchables. If this is Korn's last record, I could live happily as I feel that at least they went out on a great note.… Expand

it was a good blend. for korn to get back to their roots.

I just picked this album up today (7/31) at Best Buy and I am just amazed at how much this album has improved over 2005's See You on The Other Side. In my opinion, this album is now my favorite of Korn's entire catalog (My previous favorite was Untouchables; and I'm not saying this because it's new). I highly, HIGHLY suggest that any Korn fans pick up a copy of this album, its just amazing.… Expand

This is a great style for Korn. An excellent album, to go along with their back catalogue of great albums.

Their music has always been cold and soulless and this is no exception.

korn 4ever

nuff said

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.… Expand

i have been a korn fan since 1994,and i truely think this is there best album ,i am not just saying that b/c its new, i truely mean it, its amazing ......korn has been reborn

Untitled is a good album, although it was hard to swallow at first. they have Made an interesting atmosphere with this Album taking a more alternative view on most of the albums tracks. presenting an erly 1920's freak show circus type of sound with it. They lack much of old korn but gain much of new korn heard in the previous album see you on the other side. This album is a must for people who enjoyed their previous release. theres alot of remorsing pain on this album then compared to Jons old Ranting style. you can feel on a deeper level with this album, "kiss" is a good example. the ablum takes a more Harrowing feel this time around with slow Intros and Jon's voice styling is deep and capacative. Munky's guitar whales nicely throughout the album as it screams for foriveness. Thres a couple of songs within the album which stick out like a sore thimb on you hand. "love and Luxury" is a good example, it's got a different vibe from the rest of the album. and in my opinion dosent belong with the rest of the album. The Electronica in the album is very powerful on some tracks. unlike See you on the other side where it is more atmospheric this ablum Presents Strong Warping sounds that go right in with the vocals, Jon's vocals are kind of like how they were presented in Take a look in the mirror. Like all korn albums the whole album has the same atmosphere, Another story writen with music.… Expand

Utter shit.

I have been listning korn from 1996 and they only get better with age! Korn 4LIVE.

Good. Not as good as past stuff but i like the new sound. Best album ever was the first album.

I'm greatly pleased on how the true KoRn FaNs received this new album, KoRn PaRt II (As I like to called it) And its that, its a new era, a new chapter in the story of the best metal band since Metallica! Its a great sound if you have on mind that they had lost a great guittarist like Head (I'm sure he will regret forever in hell!) and in other hand David is on hiatus (Got to be kidding, turning his back to the band in such important time for them!?). So is to admire the great sound, art work that KoRn has gave us! KoRn forever and ever bitches!… Expand

great album but zome of the track could have been better

This was by far the worst korn disc to date! I thought that see you on the other side was bad, but this new takes it. Life with out head is a bad one!

Ouch, Korn were doing well with see you on the other side, but this is just depressing, i think korn should stop making shoddy album covers and go back to whatever they were on when they made follow the leader or issues cos those were their best albums ever!

I love this album, It's not my favorite Korn album but great none the less. I am glad they have adopted a new style. For once a band has changed and doesn't sound like the have lost a part of their anatomy. I think it is slightly better than their last release, but still a little way from the likes of Issues or Follow The Leader. Not bad korn, not bad at all!

best korn cd since issues

Definitely different and as an "Old School" fan, I loved the influences from Mr. Bungle. I have loved Korn for longest time and for what it is worth, I am proud of this album. Great Work!

Great album. Maybe their greatest. Anyway it's in top 3 of Korn's albums. Critics, go FY!))

great cd i really couldnt follow korn since their self titled since i was only 2 but when i did start i quickly bought everyallbum i can and have listened to them a lot i really like this album in particular because of Terry Bozio with his drum kit the ss bozio(its on the dvd) get this album i love it

This FAR from Korn as it was used to be and as every one knows them - but maybe experimenting will lead to some new things - better ones than they are for now - green one :/

Clearly not everyone has been listening have we.

Their best album since Issues. I love it, and it sure as hell deserves a much better score than this.

Get rid of the keyboards, stop over producing and mastering, bring back David. Korn have completely died now, 'See you on the other side' made it clear that the band have lost focus and they now want to sound like every other 'nu metal' band just to sell records. Seen Korn at least 15 times over the last 14 years, I would consider them as one of the worlds greatest bands but now? Retire guys, bow out gracefully.… Expand

This is Ko?n's worst album so Far. I like the solo's, but everything else is Completely Mainstream.

This is one of their best works and was one of my favorites from last year. I honestly dont get all the bad reviews.

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

This album, is a step up from 2005's "See You On The Other Side" and it's quite sad to see people complaining all the time, about how the band has gone downhill and I have to disagree with all of you. Expect to hear good quality music from Korn in the near future.

I would have to agree with Richard on the topic of their new album. While it has more depth to it, there's not many catchy riffs or choruses. I found the emotion in this one lacking. I enjoy Korn for being able to bring out my aggressive side and let loose, this album was lacking in that respect. While I do acknowledge the band's growth, I also miss the heavier sounds that came from David Silveraa and Fieldy as well as Head's talent for creating a heavy riff. Don't get me wrong, I do believe Munky is a fabulous guitar player, but totally on a different level of style when compared to Head. While this is not a bad thing, it is like the band starting over, they have to find their new voice since the changing and loss of members. While I won't ever bash the album, I will not put it into my CD rotation over previous albums.… Expand

I gotta say right now, I find this album to be very underrated. I love Korn's work, they're an awesome band. Just because this album sounds different from their other ones, doesn't mean it sucks. Now I won't say this album is perfect by any means. I'm not particularly fond of the last two songs, but the rest of the album has nice rifts and a cool atmospheric sound that I find pleasing to listen to. "Hold On,""Do What They Say,""Killing," and "Starting Over" are my favorite tracks on the album and a majority of the others work for me as well. Compared to their other albums, this album sounds a lot more experimental, but the sound works for me, personally.… Expand

Easily Korns Finest Work. Starting over Rocks!

best since follow the leader..

Although I have only heard it about three times so far, it is definately impressive. Certainly not for fans who liked Korn in the 1990s. They are really progressing musically.

Great album.

best

Listened through it once, and have never had a desire to listen to a single track again. None of the songs are even remotely heavy or catchy. An utter bore and even bigger disappoinment.

wow does korn suck. first of all their name is korn. with a k. think about that for a second and then try to justify anything this aboslutely awful dump of a band has ever done. at first i thought it was a joke that korn had a new record out. but somehow they managed to find a deaf guy to produce this garbage. if you wasted your money on any of their garbage then you're supporting terrorists. if you like korn you are either a) deaf or b) living in a trailor. i feel bad for the air sometimes when korn's soundwaves go through it. the only reason i gave it a 1 and not a 0 is because this is a great record to make fun of and laugh at. korn wil always have a special place in my heart as one of the worst bands ever...right next to limp bizkit.… Expand

well this band has a taste of its own very differrnt from their old albums like ' issues ' but that may be to the miss happs of their old guitarist Brian Head Welch and their drummer who only features in half the album this album is brilliant but not as heavy and has taken a differnt type of croud

Garbage!

This album is a risky, yet terrific creative turn for the band.

I don't see why this is so low. The album has the same feel through out which makes it excellent. Its got that circusey feel to it. I think the album has many great songs like Evolution, Hold On, Kiss, and Killing.

At this point of Korns career, many argued they should have shut up shop, Losing two fulltime band members and having a replacement in the band. But the core was still there, so why bother?
David Silveria left after the SYOTOS world tour on 'Hiatus' which then became retirement, Korn enlisted Terry Bozzio (most notably from Frank Zappa) and he only featured on half the songs on the Untitled effort.
The result? The Untitled album was a step better than SYOTOS but was stil unimpressive and uninspiring. But as a Korn fan, I am used to constant experimentation and effects. This album is packed to the brim full of effects using pro tools. There are endless layers to the songs with perhaps the exception of 'I Will Protect You' 'Ever Be' and 'Killing' Which are all the least complicated and most impressive 'Korn-esque' Tracks on Untitled.
The album doesnt deliver ANY knock out blow tracks, and there are no epic closing tracks as featured on most of their albums. Even the deluxe EP edition doesnt have a notable b-side.
BUT this is from the point of view comparing it to the rest of their discography.
As a stand alone album from an experimenting band re-finding their feet, it is quite an enjoyable album, the effects and pro tools fill any weaknesses and holes left by absent band members and gives the Korn sound an almost Goth/Industrial edge to it.
Lyrically Jonathan expands into new topics with a song or ttwo venting frustration at Head Welch and war of words that emerged between himself and the band post breakup.
All in all the album lacks the generic Korn charm but is a good attempt at a new sound and once again pushes boundaries not previously attempted by the band. But not overly succesfully so.… Expand
