I do appreciate something different from that Z-flat crunch, even if it is only for a while. Obviously, Korn started to use some new pedals in this album. A poor song, but the bridge makes up for quite a lot. It's nice to know that Korn still has some of the power they had before, found in Korn and Follow the Leader. 'Is there something wrong with meeeeee' sends a chill down my back. The song breaks down with very dark guitar riffs and Jonathan's wailing is very depraved, even for Korn's standards. I wonder how many songs have the word 'hate' in the lyrics? Most of them, probably, as hatred is the only emotion Korn can 'explore.' After the second chorus, Davis repeats 'find' again and again, and I expected this to be the only sort of bridge, but surprisingly something good happens. Been hating all the faces of everything I can find.' Yup. The lyrics in the chorus are, 'Been hating all this time before a crowd inside. The opening flange riff on guitar is actually quite cool, but all the other poor elements to this song supercede it. Why did Korn have to choose one of the worst songs on the album as a single? Do they want to supply the metal snobs with ammo against Korn? 2/5 In the bridge to Thoughtless, he sounds more like a stroke victim than angry. Not only has Davis's singing declined, but his incredible gibberish skills demonstrated in Ball Tongue and Seed have flown out the window. Although the songs are about completely different things, the videos are so alike it just shows you that Korn's production ideas are also running short. The video is so similar to Clown's video its actually quite funny. The only think good about this song is that I could relate to it when I was bullied. I don't want to overload you with how limited and trite this song, so I won't. The opening riff that continues into the verses is pretty pathetic. I'd be stating the obvious if I said that the lyrics were once again lame. I don't mean that it's short, but I think it is not as high quality as the other songs.

There are some atmospherics moments, but they are short-lived. Hollow Life never really breaks out it just stays rather mundane.

This is relatively unexplored territory for Korn, so I give them some credit for that. The only thing I like about this song is the guitar riff during the chorus. It seems that Jonathan Davis is lo longer capable of expressing a theme, or constant idea. The lyrics are as usual arbitrary, and inconsistent. The intro to Blame is embarrassingly reminiscent of Here To Stay's intro. I give this song, for its visceral power, 4.5/5. Jonathan Davis's truly unique voice makes me very emotional, and his apparent despair in life is actually credible in this song! In the bridge, Jonathan holds notes out with unbelievable quality. However, I think the verses are very atmospherics. The drum machine in the verses is annoying, and so is Davis's ridiculous singing. In many poor albums, there are a few great songs. All this time I've been waiting and oh I cannot grieve anymore.' Virtually everything about the song is unappealing, in my opinion.

Once again, the chorus has lame lyrics, 'The heart inside is fading. Criticize me all you want it is a sheer matter of taste when it comes to the band's sound. Although I think that Korn is not a particularly good band, I still love that low, unique killer sound.

This is the only semi-hard song on the album, by Korn's standards, of course. The album begins with a one string riff on Munky's Ibanez K-7, tuned down to a nearly toneless low A. It is a shame that people overlook their talents, but it is a greater shame that they don't use them very well. Also, David Silveria's drumming on Korn self-titled is incredible, especially on Faget. They are skilled guitar players, it's just they don't use their skill to their advantage. I remember reading a review of Life Is Peachy on this site, and the reviewer told you to listen out for Head and Munky's playing on Porno Creep. What disappoints me is that despite what all the metal elitists say, Korn's members can actually play well. Untouchables has poor lyrics and song structures, not to mention the more laid back then ever drumming. With all this musical collaboration and diversity, you would think that he would bring some new ideas into the studio. Jonathan Davis wrote the soundtrack of the motion picture Queen Of The Damned, and worked with Richard Gibbs on the score for the film. Previously, Korn's last album was 1999's disappointing Issues. It has come to my attention that no one has had the privilege (he-he) of writing an album review for KoRn's fifth album, Untouchables, released in 2002.
