    I have been a KoRn fan for already three months, and i can´t say their records are very good (except for a few) but this one is different. It may be heavier than their other albums, and it´s very probable that you won´t understand anything until the tenth time you hear it, but it´s worth enough. Untouchables is a Heavy/Industrial/Alternative/Whatever Metal album, long and full of strength. Since the amazing Grammy-awarded Here to stay and the epic Thoughtless too the depressive ballad Alone I Break It´s a modern classic.… Expand

    Personally I love this album.I think it is the best after the self titled cd.Sure Jon has changed his style of singing alot,and it would be nice to hear Jon screaming his lungs out like on "good god" or "sean olsen" but isnt screaming getting old? too many bands think by screaming they can make it big, Jon is showing he can do something else other than that.And he doesnt have to leave the band like some people(corey Taylor...)this album is the heaviest instrumentally, and the clearest sounding with all their new equipment.the only thing i found dissapointing...the only thing at the end was a lame remix of "here to stay" bring back the hidden hits like"earache my eye" !!! KoRn rules!!!… Expand

    Jon Davis cant sing? Jon Davis sings like a queer banshee? I dont think so. This album is really good, and all artists continue to sing about what they used to do! The Rolling Stones still sing about girls for instance, and their 60!

    Korn's all-time best album! Thoughtless is the most emotional and angry song on the album, making it the best. Buy or die!

    The three-year wait for "Untouchables" was well-worth it. The band spares us the undeveloped interludes that pepper their last full-length, "Issues." Here's a full-on assault to the senses with aggressive singles "Here to Stay" and "Thoughtless." As a long-time Korn fan, I find that the fivesome deliver the goods and then some. Jonathan Davis sings way more on this, like on the mid-tempo, atmospheric "Hollow Life." It's not pitch perfect, but it still adds another element to their sound. His trademark rap/scat singing is not absent completely; check out "Embrace." Each tune is extremely strong, with no throwaway tunes AT ALL, and their chemistry is still contagious as ever. This CD has helped reaffirm my faith in modern rock. Can't wait to see them at MSG on June 24. Only misstep is "Alone I Break." It even has an acoustic guitar!… Expand

    Korn is the shit! I often find myself able to connect with John Davis's lyrics. You don't have to be deep to express yourself. I must say, this is their best record yet!

    I love this CD and I love Korn soooooo much! This CD is great but not the best they've ever done. A few of the songs including wake up hate, embrace, and beat it upright were kinda lame but some of the songs like no one's there (the best song on this CD), one more time, alone I break, im hiding, here to stay, hating, and thoughtless are just some of the best songs Korn has ever done and the rest of the songs are good. Im so excited about their next CD, take a look in the mirror!!!!!! … Expand

    Excellent record. Korn is always at their best when they just go and make a record without any secondary reasoning. Standout tracks are Hating, One More Time, and Blame

    'Untouchables' is a record that grows spikes with each listen and is by turns exhilarating, confusing, inspiring, embarrassing and astonishing.

    Their darkest, most impenetrable record yet--the aural approximation of staring down a mine shaft at midnight. [Jul 2002, p.75]
