    When Korn released "See You" in 2005, I hated it so much that I've stopped listening to the band all together... then when they announced "Korn III" in 2010, I've decided to check out this album sometimes called "Korn II", "Evolution" or "we're so uninspired that we don't know how to call this". The album was a big surprise to me, because I didn't hate it.

The album was a big surprise to me, because I didn't hate it. I've actually liked what I've heard. Untitled is an experimental album but not sh**** experimental like "See You" was. We get a couple of amazing songs here like "I Will Protect You", "Killing", "Starting Over", "Evolution", "Hold On" and the bonus track "Sing Sorrow". There's also a calm song called "Kiss", which I actually really like. There's one song on Untitled that was written with the s*** pop producers from See You and that's "Love and Luxury"... this song is wack and hard to listen to. Also another b-side from this "Overture or Obituary" is a nice song... it should have been included on the standard version of the album. All in all this album is not a tragedy... it's a good piece of music... it's not a full on nu-metal record, but it has nu moments and the experiments for most of the album actually work... I wish "See You" never existed and this was the album Korn would release in 2005... then I wouldn't have to stop listening to the band for 5 years... Pickens approves!… Expand

    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.

    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

    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?!

    Get rid of the keyboards, stop over producing and mastering, bring back David.

    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.

    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.

    Something happened to Korn after Issues. #1. Guitars that sound like guitars. #2. Jon wailing instead of moaning #3. Simplified, more shallow soundscape.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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 Korn has been my favourite band since i was 4.

    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.

    In setting aside its trademark sound, Korn hasn’t yet replaced it with something of its own, but at least the band is working on it.
