The Hating is one of my favorite tracks on here



If I dug Korn more I would like this album more. This is great for a Korn album.

Yeah I feel that, I always dug Jon's vocals they were the seller for me. I actually think I'd like Korn a lot more if they cut out the DJ scratching bits like in Next In Line.



Also, I actually like Take Me contrary to most people here

Jon definitely has a unique voice, I'll give him that. Just too whiney for me.

fair enough, he just varies his deliveries really well and reflects emotion fairly well in general, I'm a bit of a stickler with vocals usually so thats usually a big selling point for a band for me

Oh, Slipknot was always #1 for me back in my nu-metal days, but Korn was like 2nd or 3rd

Yeah I think for me my top three back then was Linkin Park, Slipknot, (and because I always was really into hard rock then) Crossfade.

Mudvayne and Sevendust were up there for me too - I made a list a while back about my middle school/early high school jams and it was pretty extensive

There are great songs in here but as a whole I think the darkness/heaviness feels forced. I may prefer The Paradigm Shift honestly, it felt more quirky and interesting (like Lullaby for a Sadist for example). Keep in mind I heard them both one time. Honestly curious to hear what they do next. Maybe with less ear shattering production thanks

I don't know, they both work for different moods for me. Both are the best they've done in well over a decade.

This goes above and beyond though, it's really cheesy. It seemed they were over it with the more mature approach of Paradigm, but I guess they know their fanbase well now

Paradigm has a swagger unlike any other Korn, it felt like they matured and wanted to try new things and quirks (that crazy shaman-like chanting part in Lullaby for a Sadist is ace). I don't like how they forcedly went back to darkness with this one. However, I don't hate it

I don't know if Paradigm was mature - it just tweaked the dubstep aspect of Totality and made it actually subtle and way more fun. Nothing about Korn is mature imo

Not the best descriptor yeah, I meant that they sounded more like seasoned musicians having fun in the studio (and I'd say the documentary is proof) without the limitations of trying to satisfy a particular fanbase. It's not the usual bleak Korn sound. The soaring chorus of Mass Hysteria is a perfect example, or the quiet section in Punishment Time. Idk how to say it, it sounds like Korn yes but an adult version of the band
