What you described sounds like some melodeath bands too. I guess the presentation of of Industrial turns me of very easily.
In northwest Houston, Cy-Fair district.

Digging: Between The Buried And Me - The Great Misdirect

some industrial is good, most is absolute crap, and that's the case with most genres of course. but this stuff is really good, really atmospheric, genuinely creepy at times. and i like the lyrics to reflect the times. i think a lot of teens could relate to these lyrics.

I would rather listen to Bm than alot of stuff. I actually like some of it.

When I see a Korn review that has a rating of 4.5, I honestly laugh. But I just listened to a good chunk of this album. I must say I was quite surprised.

Damn man you live close to my old house!

I used to go to Cy-Fair High School! Off of Barker Cypress @ 290!

Small world.

Yeah, that's ten minutes from my house or so. I graduated from Cy-Ridge last year. Eldridge @ W. Little York where I be.
To be fair, I will listen to the single if there is one and judge it a little more informed.

Good night everyone.

I don't see the appeal of industrial.

Why would I do that?

Korn use to be good, when they were original, but all this nu-metal crap these days is just down right boring and a disgrace to the real metal.

The guitars really aren't that different in this release. Nothing is, they're doing the same old songwriting with some shiny new studio tricks and replacing the fantastic David Silveria with electronic drums.

Not industrial, btw. Real industrial is nothing like this.

"I don't see the appeal of industrial."

Ministry, nuff said! The greatest industrial band ever!!!!

No. Ministry is lawlworthy. Try investigating some real industrial.

Album Rating: 5

I really like Korn I always liked everything they create, but I dont know anthing about Industrial I dont know what to expect from the album. I guess I'll decide if I want to buy it after I read several more reviews.

[Quote=]not even lead singer Johnathan Davis could have predicted this six-piece band from Bakersfield, California to revolutionize metal and rock music and end up creating a new genre, nu-metal.[/Quote]

they were actually five in the original lineup.

im not buying this ever and i dont believe its a 4. 5, but good review.

Ha, agreed.

Album Rating: 4

I cant wait to hear this, it sounds to me sorta like my 2 favourite albums of theirs, Untouchables and Issues, the atmospherics and experimentaion with their sound in its own barrier. Excited man

You know.. you've tempted me to give this a try.

Korn has always seemed a "kiddy" metal band to me, despite a few great moments there was something overly juvenile to them i didn't like. I dropped out after Issues (which was probably my favourite album) and the few songs i did hear released after that i thought were horrible.

If this saves their reputation with me i'll eat my boot.

I promised myself no matter what, I would not buy this. My dad might get it though, than I can determine a rating, but it'll probably be less than a 3.5.
