Album Review

Taking a cue from the Van Halen playbook, the III in the title of Korn III: Remember Who You Are isn’t a numbering device, it signifies an opening of another phase in Korn’s career. Somehow, the band has bypassed a Korn II altogether in their discography, but it’s commonly acknowledged that the tail-end of the 2000s found the group floundering a bit, going so far as to flirt with the Matrix in an attempt to figure out which direction to go now that they’ve hit middle age. This is where the subtitle comes in: the group has certainly remembered who they are, ditching all the affectations that crippled their muddled 2007 eponymous album and rediscovering their voice. They’ve gone back to the coiled, furious sputter of their debut, but there’s no disguising that Korn is an older band, substituting precision for frenzy without diluting their power. That’s a crucial difference: they’re not desperately attempting to re-create their youth, they’re reconnecting with their passions and re-interpreting them from the perspective as veterans. Sometimes they stumble — in many ways, Jonathan Davis has the trickiest problem by putting actual words to their emotions — but as sheer galvanizing force, Korn III delivers due to that combination of raw aggression and musical finesse.

A return to Korn

Korn III Remember Who You Are is certainly a return to the classic carthartic fury of "Korn" and "Life Is Peachy" However, this album isn't a carbon copy of those albums as the epic chorus's of "See You On The Other Side" and "Untouchables" are abundent over the course of this album. I do feel that this album was over-hyped as with all new albums from big name artists. Despite this Korn III is for me their best album since "Untouchables" From the creepy spoken word intro of "Uber Time" the album then shifts into classic Korn territory with the guargantuan grooves of "Olidale (Leave Me Alone)", other standout tracks for me are "Lead The Parade" with heavy grooves and schizo vocals from Johnathan Davis. "Are You Ready To Live" reminds me of "Need To" with creepy basslines and guitars with J Davis venting his spleen. "Never Around" is another hard hitting track with a sledgehammer groove and awesome chorus. Korn will never better their debut, but this is a great album and one which fans have been crying out for.

Cathartic, Visceral, Raw, Emotional and Groovy.

Korn III - Remember Who You Are is a cathartic and visceral return to the band's dirty, raw roots. Recording their new 9th Studio Album, they hired Ross Robinson who worked with them on their first two albums, last working with the band in 1996. Korn III the name originates from one of two things, the fact it's the third album Ross has produced, and/or that it's the third incarnation of Korn. The album opens with the surreal tone of "Uber-Time", in it a NASA Report is read out, interspersed with fading, almost trippy tones, and ends with the word "Uber-Time" repeated. It fades into "Oildale (Leave Me Alone)" The clean, smooth guitar almost grates as it fades into the crushing bass and riff onslaught, following a cathartic sway as Jonathan Davis unleashes pent-up rage and pain, the Chorus sways to the smooth vocals and the listener connects instantly with JD's begging of "Why don't you just leave me alone?". This is followed by the straight-forward slam of “Pop a Pill”, and the melodic “Let The Guilt Go”, which has a growl-infused breakdown. Next comes “Move On”, another melodic, deranged almost dance rhythm inspired tune with a frenetic bass driven intro. “Lead The Parade” arrives next, a ballad of mental and emotional breakdowns; a repeated breakdown at the beginning of each Chorus sees Jonathan Davis lose all sense of pronunciation and linear speech as he maniacally growls his personal truths. “The Past” is a much more linear song, with an almost “Alice In Chains”-esque Riff to further complex Korn’s step back and yet, simultaneous step forward. This Melodic Traditional Metal and Grunge broth of insanity carries on in a heavy yet almost unseen fashion for the rage fuelled band from Bakersfield, with an almost demonic chant of “Run Away, Go Away” in the infectious Bass Breakdown. With the next slab of heavy metal pie, Korn show off their natural inclination to create unique Grooves in songs that allows listeners to both lose their mind and dance at the same time. Finally, “Are You Ready To Live?” serves up pure, raw, energetic emotion that mentally prepares the listener for the therapeutic closer, Jonathan Davis whines in pain, supported by the down-tuned bass, creating a contrasting combination. The band slams their way into the closing song with a fast, bass and riff intro, leading into the most emotional song since the band’s closer, “Daddy”, from their eponymous 1994 debut “Korn”, “Holding All These Lies” sees Jonathan Davis boldly admit his faults and lies with every ounce of power the monster inside of him can muster, and leaves him in tears as the song fades out. This album will amaze you, enrage you, connect with you, and emotionally drain you all at once. A return to old form? Definitely. Easily the best album the band’s produced since the late 90’s. Fully Recommended.
