Rating: (Yes, it's me, that "asshole" TheTrooper who always gets criticized for his supposedly crappy and useless reviews, and even this time, I bet I'll be swamped with criticisms and insults, but I'm writing it anyway).
Many will consider this fanpack of 2 Audio CDs and 1 DVD a dirty commercial move by Korn, "that damn nu-metal band that said everything with their first two albums and then sold out to MTV," that's what many people think. I don't see it that way; Korn, along with other bands, metal and non-metal, helped redefine the face of rock music in the '90s. That's why I welcomed this kind of expansion of the album "See You On The Other Side" (also heavily criticized, for reasons unknown), full of remixes, live tracks, acoustic tracks, and videos.
The first audio disc is called "Chopped & Screwed," and it's not exactly the best feature of the fanpack; indeed, it's full of remixes made by a certain Dj Michael (who the hell is he?) of tracks from the latest album. The best ones are "For No One", "Coming Undone", and "Hypocripies". Curious is the last track called "Coming Undone Wit It," a (mini)medley between the Korn song and a song by Dem Franchize Boys, which is the usual nonsense of creating a rap track in collaboration with some rappers (see all that rap in "Follow The Leader," which I reiterate I don't like as an album, and the presence of Nas in "Take A Look In The Mirror"). Anyway, the first disc makes you want to ask for a refund rather than continue, but that changes with the more appealing "Live & Unglued" which features the first 6 live tracks that are truly excellent, good songs overall. We're talking about "Blind", "Somebody Someone", and many tracks from SYOTOS, including the gritty "Liar", "Hypocrities", "Throw Me Away", and the industrial Manson-esque "Love Song". The remaining 4 tracks are two more remixes of "Coming Undone" (after a while, the same song gets tiring though); the same is performed acoustically along with "Twisted Transistor", which are very beautiful as they also express the acoustic and more "quiet" side of Korn.
The Bonus DVD is halfway between the uselessness of CD 1 and the tastiness of CD 2 because it includes the videos for "Coming Undone" (enough with this song already, it's good, PERIOD), a "short version" of "Twisted Transistor" (truly pointless), and the video of the previously mentioned and dreadful "Coming Undone Wit It", while the video for "Liar" (which I personally had never seen) is decent, as are the videos for the acoustic versions of "Coming Undone" and "Twisted Transistor" as well as other live acoustic versions followed by a "Behind The Scenes Footage" showcasing Korn backstage.
In conclusion, this collection is really for fans only (like me); it has its strengths (otherwise, I wouldn't have given it 3 stars), but overall it's not useful at all for someone who wants to get to know Korn nor for someone who listens to them casually (but isn't a fan). I downloaded it because I think it hasn't been released in Italy yet, but when it does come out, you can save your money for the already announced "Korn: MTV Unplugged" and the successor of "See You On The Other Side," which are slated for release in 2007.
Tracklist and Lyrics
02 Hypocrites (03:44)
Your messiah was never mine [x10]
Hypocrites!
Weeping rows of Jeremiah
Drops of blood drip off your medals
Representing all our tears
in a ring of burning metal
How you wanna be, what you gonna say
it doesn't bother me, who ya gonna pay
Sorcerers and Satan's come
To define the what and why
People travel across this earth
Over water, land, and sky
How you wanna be, what you gonna say
it doesn't bother me, who ya gonna pay
Pay the ferryman, pay the fucking driver
Pay the preachers and pay the fucking liars
Pay the angels they're touching on their dates, stand by
I'm not gonna pay it's already mine
Hypocrites
I'm gonna do it blind
Hypocrites
I'm gonna do it blind
Hypocrites
I'm gonna do it blind
Hypocrites
Your messiah was never mine
Weeping rows of Jeremiah
Purity unlike no other
Offers help to those who need it
Don't forget care to the brother
How you wanna be, what you gonna say it
Doesn't bother me, who ya gonna pay
Little old lady at home
Writing out a check to send
It's all the money that she owns
She believes the world might end
How you wanna be, what you gonna say it
Doesn't bother me, who ya gonna pay
Pay the ferryman, pay the fucking driver
Pay the preachers and pay the fucking liars
Pay the angels they're touching on their dates, stand by
I'm not gonna pay it's already mine
Hypocrites
I'm gonna do it blind
Hypocrites
I'm gonna do it blind
Hypocrites
I'm gonna do it blind
Hypocrites
Your messiah was never mine
Hypocrites!
Pay the ferryman, pay the fucking driver
Pay the preachers and pay the fucking liars
Pay the angels, they're touching on their dates
I'm not gonna pay it's already mine
Hypocrites
I'm gonna do it blind
Hypocrites
I'm gonna do it blind
Hypocrites
I'm gonna do it blind
Hypocrites
Hypocrites! [x4]
06 Love Song (04:44)
Murder!
Your holding my heart, screaming.
Motherfucker!
They left me broken, bleeding.
Son of!
The man you loved and left for
The son of a bitch!
Who tried to show me death's door.
(Ah)
Everything's illuminated.
Everything is dedicated.
(Ah)
Tried to leave this life I hated
Even that what's over-rated.
Love song for the dear departed.
Headstone for the broken hearted.
Arm's to kill.
more flowers to steal.
Head-trip for the mortal earth bound.
One sip of the blood that I found.
Lying here...
Im dying here.
And then!
Obtituaries rain down.
And suddenly!
We're lying naked face down.
(Ah)
Once again decapitated.
Can't you see me fasinated.
(Ah)
Never knew enough to damage.
Even that can be mis-managed.
Love song for the dear departed.
Headstone for the broken hearted.
Arm's to kill.
more flowers to steal.
Head-trip for the mortal earth bound.
One sip of the blood that I found.
Lying here.
Im dying here.
Dying here..
Don't bring me daffodils.
Bring a bouquet of pills.
See some drainum.
Cracked to the crainum.
Protect me when you can.
Respect me when I am...
Dying.
Love song for the dear departed.
Headstone for the broken hearted.
Arm's to kill.
more flowers to steal.
Head-trip for the mortal earth bound.
One sip of the blood that I found.
Lying here.
I'm dying here.
Love song for the dear departed.
Headstone for the broken hearted.
Arm's to kill.
more flowers to steal.
Head-trip for the mortal earth bound.
One sip of the blood that I found.
Lying here...
I'm dying here.
07 10 or a 2-Way (04:06)
Precious fingers she knows how to hold the poison
Lick it dip it and for no particular reason
She crawls on the floor slides against the door
Precious fingers over blossom and it's season
Doesn't matter she'll be doing it her way
Doesn't care if it's a 10 or a 2-way
Doesn't matter she'll be doing it her way
Every night every day
Never meant to show up here anyway
Only f**king you till the season change
Treasure deep between the places that you hold dear
Can't it hurt to act as if we are in love here?
Lying across this chair fingers everywhere
To defying all the angels up above here
Doesn't matter she'll be doing it her way
Doesn't care if it's a 10 or a 2-way
Doesn't matter she'll be doing it her way
Every night every day
Never meant to show up here anyway
Only f**king you till the season change
When you cum (Be a good girl)
Hold your breath (Make it last long)
It is called (the)
the "little dead" girl
Never meant to show up here anyway
Only f**king you till the season change
Never meant to show up here anyway
Only f**king you till the season change
08 Coming Undone (04:09)
Keep holding on
When my brain's tickin' like a bomb
Guess the black bots have come Again to get me
Sweet bitter words
Unlike nothing I have heard
Sing along mocking bird
You don't affect me
That's right
Deliverance of my heart
Be straight
Be deliverance
Wait
I'm coming undone
Unlaced
I'm coming undone
Too late
I'm coming undone
What looks so strong
So delicate
Wait
I'm starting to suffocate
And soon I anticipate
I'm coming undone
What looks so strong
So delicate
Choke choke again
I find my demons are my friends
Getting me in the end
They're out to get me
Since I was young
I've tasted sorrow on my tongue
And this sweet chugga gun
Does not protect me
That's right
Trigger between my eyes
Please strike
Make it quick now
Wait
I'm coming undone
Unlaced
I'm coming undone
Too late
I'm coming undone
What looks so strong
So delicate
Wait
I'm starting to suffocate
And soon I anticipate
I'm coming undone
What looks so strong
So delicate
I'm trying to hold it together
Head is lighter than a feather
Looks like i'm not getting better
Not getting better
Wait
I'm coming undone
Unlaced
I'm coming undone
Too late
I'm coming undone
What looks so strong
So delicate
Wait
I'm starting to suffocate
And soon I anticipate
I'm coming undone
What looks so strong
So delicate
