THE REVIEW
I swear the two stars were given by pure act of the "Holy Spirit," no offense to the "Korn fans," but this album is an insult to music and to the band itself, because the Korn would do well to "retire"... one shouldn't stretch the string too much!
After the successful "Take A Look In The Mirror," Korn seemed to be back to life, indeed the album deviated from that stupid genre label called "nu-metal," (I put it in quotes because I think they shouldn't even use certain adjectives to label some trend revival of certain genres... enough!), but new life was not!
"See You On The Other Side" is anything but the title, it is cloying from start to finish, it has neither head nor tail and it merely mixes the "new" Korn effect, in some ways almost pleasant, with electronic sounds that would make even the ex-Depeche Mode Yazoo's Vince Clarke vomit.
The times of "Korn" and "Life Is Peachy" are far away, light-years away, so I advise anyone with a bit of musical good sense against buying this commercial product that I find useless!
...and to think that ten years ago I loved this band.

Having a singer like Jonathan Davis in a band is a luxury that few can afford.
In my opinion, a great comeback for KoRn, who never disappoint.

"Still (partially) insane, but the Korn of the past seems like a distant memory."
This album convinces and does not convince, perhaps the secret to forming a real and objective opinion of this album is to pretend or forget that they are Korn.
By Adil
This is probably the worst album ever released by Korn.
The album does not seem to suffer from the absence of a second guitar, but the rhythm section dominates many tracks.
By Brizz89
This new album can be defined as half a success...
Honestly, I do not recommend it to those who have heard a lot of good things about Korn, but I recommend it to those interested in hearing experimentation in this field.
By Metal89
One word will suffice to describe this album; a piece of crap.
It is clear that these four are together just for the money.
