'See You On The Other Side' is Korn's first studio album released since the departure of guitarist Brian 'Head' Welch from the band. The sound is notably different from previous albums, yet none of the songs sound empty. The album is crammed with heavy, head banging tunes such as 'Twisted Transistor' and 'Liar', but it also contains a fair share of slower, eerie songs, my personal favourites being 'Throw Me Away' and 'Tearjerker'. Almost every song has it's own unique synthetic sounds, and it is obvious that Korn have experimented with their sound on this album. However, this is necessarily not a bad thing, as these sounds contribute to the creepy atmosphere this album creates.
Overall, 'See You On The Other Side' is a fantastic album, which explores a variety of styles that should appeal to rock fans in general, not just Korn fans.

Really like Korn. I was amused by the first comment you got... you'll often see a "Ooh, this sounds a bit too scary / controversial / worrying for me" sort of comment... or at least I do as I often review rock and metal bands... ;)
