If with Untouchables Korn left many of their fans puzzled, and many who knew them for their heaviness in compositions, with TaLiTm, Korn return more aggressive and heavier than ever.
Johnatan Davis, supported by an increasingly solid and explosive David Silveria on the drums, along with the guitar duo James Shaffer and Brian Welch and the legendary Fieldy on bass, demonstrates what it means to compose nasty music.
Yes, because the music that Korn plays, even if it is not death or black metal, is sometimes much heavier than these genres (and here I'll receive ten thousand posts from narrow-minded people who will criticize me with insults and things like that... L).
The textures built by the axemen along with Davis’s extraordinary performance, often venturing into previously unexplored territories like growl and scream, create a sonic wall sharp and piercing enough to cut through steel.
Melodic parts have not been set aside either, but they have been toned down from the perhaps excessive presence on Untouchables, and the concept of "rap metal" is resumed through the collaboration of Nas who duets with Davis in the track "Play on Me."
An album of certainly not cheerful and easy-listening music, rather heavy and rebellious (especially the legendary "Y'all Want a Single" which denounces the music business in a striking manner and has a video available online...), which nonetheless shows the abilities of this band that, despite all the criticism, is decidedly remarkable.
