 Achieving the impossible by somehow making kilts and bagpipes cool, Bakersfield boys Korn were one of nu metal’s original sons. It feels as though the band we once knew have been absent for far too long so it’s with some relief that ‘…Remember Who You Are’ grinds with a righteous, down-tuned fury that signals the band moving with a common purpose. The rumbling grooves of ‘Oildale (Leave Me Alone)’ and ‘Move On’ remind you of everything you ever loved about Korn, while ‘Let The Guilt Go’ is an absolute monster and will easily go toe-to-toe against mosh anthems like Slipknot’s ‘Duality’ and Drowning Pool’s ‘Bodies’ without breaking a sweat. Super producer Ross Robinson has been given the unenviable task of bottling lightning, and he’s certainly earned his money this time round; from Jonathan Davis’ tortured, primal yelps to the pounding drums and a bass sound that ebbs and flows violently through your extremities. Damn, you can even hear the sound of fingers moving along guitar strings as the album crushes and crunches around you. Track for track ‘…Remember Who You Are’ is easily the equal of any of their fi rst three classic albums and sees these freaks back off the leash again....full text |

subtitle like "Remember Who You Are" implies a blast back to the past. That may be just what Korn intended by bringing back Ross Robinson, who produced the heavy rockers' first two albums. But "Korn III" (a reference to this lineup as the third incarnation of the band) moves forward more than it retrenches, referencing some stylistic trademarks while introducing some fresh dynamic sensibilities. It's the likely result of adding touring drummer Ray Luzier as a permanent member as well as stripping away the experimental excursions of 2007's untitled album in favor of a punchier and more direct approach this time out. Frontman Jonathan Davis, who started "Korn III" as a concept album before shifting gears, is still a ball of rage--"This is the time for truth and pain" he declares on the track "Holding All These Lies." And the rest of Korn pushes that fury on such densely textured fusillades as "The Past," "Let the Guilt Go," "Are You Ready to Live?" and opener "Oildale (Leave Me Alone)." --Gary Graff...full text |

| Following a synthed-up self-titled album and one they made with Avril Lavigne producers the Matrix, Korn go back to nü-metal basics on the aptly titled Remember Who You Are, which was produced by rap-rock OG Ross Robinson. Remarkably, a decade and a half of weird-kid worship hasn’t brightened frontman Jonathan Davis’ outlook; “I always get fucked in the end!” he howls rather definitively in “Fear Is a Place to Live.” His persistent self-flagellation could do with more hooks, but Remember packs pain by the pound....full text |
