Untouchables [PA] - Korn

Korn's 4th album, "Issues" could not really be said to be anything other than average, it had a couple of good moments, but ultimately it was a rather shoddy affair, and generally disappointing. It seemed fair to assume that Korn's descent into commercial mtv-metal could not be stopped, and that their sound was gradually becoming watered down by formulaic song writing and uninspired, whiny vocals. The bad news is that "Untouchables" isn't a less ...
...Davis' singing approach is increasingly whiny, and the songs are often written to the same template that korn have been using since "Follow the Leader". This is definitely not "like the first album", nor is it the perfect "masterpiece" which Korn have dubbed it. However, I can't help finding myself liking it. What Korn have achieved in this album, which they failed to in Issues, is to further commercialise their sound, but without simply writing ...

Review of Untouchables [PA] - Korn

...decided to listen to the untouchables album. Now some songs brought back memories of old school trips, school days etc both good and bad memories lol. And other songs just made me think why did I ever listen to this. The cover itself is great I think, there is the traditional parental advisory sticker that no one takes any notice of, I've seen kids who look about 12 walk up and buy Eminem/Disturbed, even cradle of Filth lol. The untouchables cover ...
...also the way they've written UNTOUCHABLES over the top of the cover was really cool I thought, it almost looked like someone had scratched it into the case. Tracks: (I will be using a point system out of ten for the songs according to what I thought of each track, Ten for excellent, one for terrible.) Track 1- Here to stay. Definitely one of my favourite Korn songs ever, second to such greats as twisted transistor or Word up. A very powerful song ...

Review of Untouchables [PA] - Korn

Korn’s 5th album untouchables, released in June 2002 paved the way for a new type of Korn, one that has media hype, has their video played on MTV’s TRL ‘pop’ show, not good. Their first single from the album was here to stay and it went to number 1 on the TRL charts and most people were loving it, the song was popular in the US and in the UK, from this song Korn were getting new fan’s, maybe ones that did not even like rock before, but this sadly ...
...to the albums ‘follow the leader’ and ‘life is peachy’ to shame of Korn. It is sad to see such a un-commercialised band become hyped by the public and media, but still I love this album and still love the band. Tracks – My opinion of them. ******************************* 1. Here To Stay – First single off the album, one of their best songs as judged by the public… but it is good in my opinion, just a shame it was commercialised 2. Make Believe ...

Review of Untouchables [PA] - Korn

It's been nearly 3 years since we've seen or heard anything from Korn, the band that were obviously the major influences of the many nu bands there are around today. Although many have attempted to copy Korn, none have succeeded and no one has lived up to the standards that they have set. Just when we least expected it Korn came crashing back in late May 2002 with frequent news on the new album 'Untouchables' and a new Single 'Here to stay' which ...
...many were frantically trying to download the tracks, many finding they were stumbling across songs that were obviously fake. The hype for this album was enormous and now the album has finally received it's release it's not hard to see why. Korn have returned with yet another in your face, emotional roller coaster album that will leave you wanting to put the CD on repeat and leave it running all day whilst you busy yourself with anything you have ...
