Also doing Freak On A Leash with Amy Lee and Mixing there song Make Me Bad with the Cure's In Between Days also featurung Robert Smith.

I was highly dissapointed with how they did Twisted Transistor and slightly dissapointed ... ...with the way they did Freak On a Leash with Amy Lee and Make Me Bad with The Cure. and everything ele was somewhat between the best and the worste.. Track Listing and my rating for each one:
1. Blind (from Korn) -7/10
2. Hollow Life (from Untouchables) -7/10 3. Freak On A Leash- (with Amy Lee) - 9/10
4. Falling Away From Me (from Issues)- 8/10
5. Creep (Radiohead cover) - 9/10
6. Love Song (from See You on the Other Side)- 7/10
7. Got The Life ...
