album review
After a three-year break that included solo projects and soundtrack work, Korn's re-emergence in the summer of 2002 was met with great anticipation. They delivered Untouchables, an album that shows them building on their previous sound and emphasizing its strengths. The use of melody is more important than ever, allowing Jonathan Davis to utilize his wide palette of vocal tricks. His charismatic voice can now move from a clear-throated wail to a death metal growl with ease, lending the album a manic side that brings to mind King for a Day, Fool for a Lifetime-era Faith No More. The only problem with Davis is his lyrics, which tend to fall into the "am I going crazy" trap that many of Korn's contemporaries perpetuate. This is a shame, because here he often avoids the social issues that he confronted on the first few releases. The band is far more experimental this time out, delivering Helmet-like ringing guitars that melt and morph into each other, a mix of Metallica-esque blastbeats and tight funk drumming from the constantly improving David Silveria, and memorable riffs that take the shape of dark sound structures and offer more than just a collection of chords. In fact, it is the last point where the album sets itself apart from most nu-metal offerings; Korn understand that the overall sound of hip-hop works because of the sonic stew that producers create through samples. The band does the same with instruments, cutting the chugging riffs of the past and replacing them with edgy soundscapes that are equally as menacing. There isn't even a rapped verse here, save for Davis' rhythmic scatting at moments, further distancing the band from the scene it helped create. But by cutting away some of the fat and finding new ways to deliver their trademark roar, Korn manage to offer a strong and lean album that maintains their place as innovators in a genre with few leaders. ~ Bradley Torreano, All Music Guide

One of my personal favorites

- I've listened to Korn from the very begining. In fact I heard them at a party somewhere in Southern CA one summer at some backyard party. I remember hearing them and thinking, "What the f@$ is this"? Back then it was all Metallica, Sepulutra, Slayer. So when I heard these guys, obviously I was... shocked, you could say. Everyone in the car thought they were a bunch of idiots and the party was scratched because of them. The sound was just too "Out there". Then one of my friends told me that that weird band we saw back in 93, 94 has an album out. I was at the store and saw thier CD, and if any of you remember the mid 90's it sucked for Heavy Metal. Bunch of crap if you ask me. It was a dark time for Hardcore music. So on a hunch I got the CD. None of my friends like them. Die hard Slayer, Sepultura, Suicidal Tendencies fans. Now what! Every one of them are now huge Korn fans. The thing is with Korn, you have to listen to them and to what Jonathan is saying. A lot of people go through the same things these guys have gone thur and Korn is one of the only bands with enough balls and guts to throw themselves out there like that. Plus Fieldy's bass notes are sick, absolutely sick, Head is a Genius on the guitar, no one compare to Head, and Jonathan's vocals... Damm!
I feel his emotion when he sings. Brilliant, all of them. This album is my favorite next to Issues and Take a look in the Mirror. This album has more melody to it, more refined you could say. Some people like that, some don't. Korn in my book will be like the Eagles were to my father's generation. Thousands of years from now they'll still be playing Korn. Absolute Geniuses BUT, HEAD NEEDS TO COME BACK!!!! PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, COME BACK BRIAN. WE LOVE YOU BRO. This is definitely one of Korns 3 best CDs, so if you're new to Korn difinatley check this one out. - Be the first person to rate this review!

- This album rocks! I love the eerily soothing lyrics, they really relax you if you let them. I can be having the worst day, but after listening to them I can just forget it all. You have to love music like that.
