New metal is dead, but Korn remain, stronger than ever trends have shifted away from these new-metal pioneers, snuffing the careers of many of their countless clones. In response, Korn have circled the wagons and self-produced their best album to date, refining the formula to a black-cancer marmalade of corrosive riffs, fist-flying rhythms, gothic-carnival atmospheres and toxic vocals. ("Shut up! I'll fuck you up!" goes a typical no-time-for-subtlety shoutalong.) When not howling like a werewolf caught in a cyclone, Jonathan Davis manages some surprisingly haunting verses and even squeezes out a plaintive bagpipe solo. Davis hasn't traded self-pity for self-reflection, but he is screaming "fuck you" with greater precision.

KoRn with there first self-produced album since there debut album back in 94'. I was happy with it. it was actually the cd that got them to me to listen to them. Right now is ht esong that opened my eyes to KoRn so I think it was gold. But I have listened to all there albums extensicely and I beleive this was there last true KoRn album. For reasons such as it was there last full length album with all five original memebers. It still has all the perks of KoRn but you can respect it all that mcuh more becuase it was completely made by them. And I seen another review saying that Nas was not good for the cd. And in a way it just made the cds self-production mean all that much more because in a sense they were having something they hadnt had for a long time was a rapper guest. Becuase they didnt have any on Issues or Untouchables. And I remember reading that this cd was being made to go back to basics for them. And they had everything they could to go back to basics and I was happy with it. All the pain, all the same original riffs, drum beats and KoRn you could want after all that time.

This is a great follow-up to Untouchables. Korn continue their current trend mixing up hard core tracks with a few more mellow (but still solid) tunes. I'm a little disappointed that they went back to adding rap vocals on one of the tracks, though. One song is no big deal, but Korn should do their own thing and Nas should do his own.

Korn returned in 2003 with an album that brought back that old feel on a couple of tracks. The sound has failed to progress much but I listen to Korn for certain reasons so I guess little change is good
