NO COMMENT

The nonsense you put in the other reviews (the metal ones) finally makes sense here! Please keep doing only rap reviews and we'll all be better off!

I give you a 5 because your reviews are funnier than a joke newspaper.

If Sepultura play black metal, Pupo plays brutal death metal! Do you realize the nonsense you just said? Sepultura play thrash metal heavily mixed with death, but they have nothing in common with black! Listen to the album again, OK, and let me know! Wait, wait... "in Florida, cradle of Norwegian black"!!!!! Help! Don't make me laugh, if it's Norwegian (but it's not black at all) how can Florida be the cradle! Fuck Korn, take off your nickname right away because you're only insulting the legendary Korn!

I'm totally in agreement that power and prog are far apart; just listen to Dream Theater and then Helloween!

The Korn will also swim in money, but to me, they have earned it; their intentions are always clear and understood through the various statements from the members. Every time they release an album (good or bad), they put in the effort. You have to consider that Munky (the guitarist) found himself working on See You On The Other Side alone, after Head's departure. He may not have performed miracles on the album, but he managed sufficiently to be the only guitarist in a band that has always had two (and Head has always contributed a lot to the Korn's music)! And let’s not talk about money, otherwise I'll have to spit insults about "St. Anger" again, and I don’t want that, out of respect for what Metallica has done in the past (how beautiful was "Master of Puppets"....!).

Well said, CoolOras.

I'm not saying that Korn were the only band that shook up metal in the '90s; there were also Pantera (what you said about them really pleased me because they're one of my favorite bands), and Machine Head (I hope you like them), but you have to admit that metal wasn't in such great shape. Maiden, right in 1990, released "No Prayer For The Dying" (which is quite disappointing), but I just want to say that they contributed to lifting the most beautiful genre in the world! Anyway, don’t take me for some MTV-dependent kid; we don’t even get that at my house, and All Music is even worse, so you can judge for yourself...!

Nu-metal is not adolescent at all; that’s what many believed when Korn exploded onto the scene, but then they realized that at the Family Values Tour, it wasn’t the "children of the korn" showing up—those in XXXL pants, piercings, and knit caps—but rather mostly metalheads around 17-18 years old (who listened to a bit of everything in metal) who understood that this was one of the many evolutions of metal and, therefore, something worth listening to! Enough of saying that nu-metal isn’t metal, because that’s a big lie; not even Bruce Dickinson has ever said that. Moreover, Korn have supported countless metal bands, among the most famous being Metallica, Megadeth, and Ozzy Osbourne, with whom they forged friendships. The clash between the rest of metal and nu-metal doesn’t actually exist at all! It’s just a science fiction movie projected into the minds of the genre's most hardline fans, like black, brutal, and others!

The review is PERFECT! And the album is quite beautiful! I liked it a lot! It combines many elements from the classic Korn style ("Liar", "Politix", and "Getting off"), experiments like Ministry and Nine Inch Nails, and aggression in the riffs reminiscent of Sepultura/Soulfly! After all, they are Korn.
