Synopsis

Amazon.com
The band that unwittingly begat the current, if waning, rap-metal frenzy, Korn has been semidormant since 1999's multiplatinum Issues, while bands they inspired, such as Linkin Park, have ruled the charts and minds of disenfranchised teens. The wait for Untouchables' 14 cutting cuts is more than worth it, however. The quintet's heavy sound and lyrical angst have not been dulled by success. Singer Jonathan Davis's often agonized, cathartic lyrics and slightly lispy, emotive delivery are as heavy and varied as on previous outings. The first single, "Here to Stay," boasts a spooky, Nine Inch Nails feel and Fieldy's aggro, down-tuned bass, with Davis growling in pain, "This state is elevating / As the hurt turns into hating / Anticipating all the ... feelings again." Among and within songs, Korn move seamlessly and dynamically from gentle, spooky, and lushly melodic to a bass-heavy propulsive, explosive musicality. "Embrace" is almost grandiose and Cult-like in its rock drama, in contrast to the punky, straight-up "Wake Up Hate," on which Davis's vocals are especially creepy and Marilyn Manson-like as he rants: "I'm, I'm filthy/ ... / I am disgusting/ Take me away." Untouchables, with its brutal introspection and hints of misogyny, is still a must-have: 62 minutes of deeply felt, ultra-intense spewings, a tour de force that will strike a chord with fans and critics alike. --Katherine Turman

CD Reviews

EVERYBODY UNDER 15 MUST GET THE CLEAN VERSION!

"This is definitely NOT a CD for children! This has lots of language on it, not as much as LIFE IS PEACHY or FOLLOW THE LEADER, but the language level is at a 6.5! If it is at below 5, it's nothing that you should worry about. But, I recommend for all parents of young KoRn fans, be warned, this CD does contain explicit content. Most of the time Jonathan Davis is screaming when he's cursing, so it's not really noticiable, unless you're a content critic. ... don't get me wrong, this IS KORN's BEST CD YET! I got an advance copy of it 2 months ago and I can't stop listening to it!"
Whoa....

"This CD kinda blew me away when I first listened. Not with the loud tunes, but with its strange and unique sound. I've heard just a few Korn songs before I bought this and I didn't consider myself much of a real fan, having only listened to Blind, Falling Away From Me, and Let's Get This Party Started. After listening to bits and pieces of the tracks on Untouchables, my liking of it was iffy. Then I listened more and started enjoying more. I noticed that, while editing this, one track called "Beat It Upright" was completely removed and replaced with a hidden track, a remix of "Here To Stay." This didn't bother me though. I shall now do a song-by-song review of Untouchables.Here To Stay - Nice song to start things out with. The chorus is catchy tooMake Believe - This song scared me enough when it started out that I actually turned off my CD player. Very haunting and mesmerizingBlame - My favorite part of this tune is the eerie, monotonous chorus. Good overall songHollow Life - Another creepy track with excellent lyricsBottled Up Inside - This one's alright. Not one of my favs thoughThoughtless - Good sound, aggressive lyricsHating - I'm not really a big fan of songs talking about how much life [is bad]. Keeps your interest thoughOne More Time - Most songs I listen to the first verse and the chorus. Then I move on to the next track and listen to the rest later. But this one was good enough that I listened to it the whole way throughAlone I Break - *Insert previous review here*Embrace - This one has cool music but it gets boring pretty quickWake Up Hate - Oh boy... If any extremely religious people heard this, they would shun it to Hell. Very angry lyricsI'm Hiding - Typical Korn song with loud head-banging material and then quiet, more dramatic parts includedNo One's There - I really seem to like this one. The cool chorus mixed with those amazing guitar riffs is really catchyHere To Stay (Remix) - I like this about the same as the original version of it. The music is a bit more interesting though"
Finally found it

"I'm a big collector of Korn...and i've been looking for this particular cd for almost a year. That's the beauty of dedicated Korn fans...they'll love Korn cds, even when their edited! I bought this mainly for the edit of Here To Stay...but was very happy to hear the edited versions of the other tracks as well. Korn in 2005 baby!!!"
