Search - Korn :: Did My Time / One

Just a taste

(5 out of 5 stars)

"With Korn's sixth album coming up on the horizon, this CD has been released in part as a sample of what's to come and to promote 'Tomb Raider 2: Cradle Of Life' (which was pretty much D.O.A. last weekend). 'Did My Time' isn't a complete departure from Korn's previous material, but it does sound like they are taking their style in a new direction yet again. The song has the same larger-than-life feel that 'Got The Life' had when it first hit the radio five years ago, and if this is any indication, the new album is going to blow us all away (too bad they had to tie it in with such a "corny" movie). The single is backed by a remix that isn't really worth mentioning. It has a decent beat, but like most Korn remixes, it's a waste of time. The last track is a treat, Korn's abbreviated cover of Metallica's 'One' performed at MTV Icon 2003, which they turn into their own song, while still remaining true to the original (and the recording quality is superb). If you're a Korn fan, you really should pick this up. As much as I support downloading music, I really don't think it's going to hurt you (or your wallet) to just BUY the CD. Too bad they didn't include the video on an enhanced portion, but you can't always get what you want."

The Best Korn Single

"This is an all around perfect single. It has everything a single should offer: a great song, a remix, and an unreleased live song. In this case, it's "Did My Time", the "Did My Time" remix, and a live recording of "One" (a remake of a classic Metallica song). This is a single that actually deserves 5 stars. Just in time for the upcoming Korn album, too. I can't wait to see what's in store for us all."
