Issues are one thing Korn singer Jonathan Davis has in spades. On the quintet's fourth album, Davis spews forth about misery, hate, happiness, pain, paranoia, and other primal issues, all set to an appropriately dark soundtrack. From "Dead" (which begins with Davis's trademark bagpipes in a sort of choral musical setting), to the first single, "Falling Away from Me," the vocalist's quavery, edgy, manic delivery sets the tone for this 16-song outing. Not as modern sounding or melodic as 1998's Follow the Leader, Issues is a throwback to earlier, more metallic Korn. If possible, Issues has an even creepier vibe than its three predecessors, thanks partially to eerie guitar lines and vocal effects, especially potent on "Let's Get This Party Started." Twisted, cohesive, and epic, Issues comes through for Korn's fans, who relate to the band's cathartic musical exorcisms and aggro, bottom-heavy rage, commercialism be damned. (Please note: You may receive any one of the album's four different covers.) --Katherine Turman

Korn at their peak.......2007-08-03

this is easily Korn's most definative album, The flow of this album is absolutley perfect.

One of the best by Korn.......2007-08-01

This album and album by korn that had alot of tracks on them which made it a very long album. I think it was different from their other albums not because of the style, but because there is not TOO many good songs on it, but the songs that are good are REALLY REALLY good. Some of the best songs by Korn are on this cd. The best songs on this cd are "Falling Away from me", "Trash", "Make me Bad", "Somebody Someone", "Counting", and "Let's Get This Party Started". When this album came out it was when Head and David were still with Korn, so that had alot to do with it's greatness. One of my favorites by Korn, great album.

KORN has ISSUES!.......2007-07-09

Well i don't think i realized jonathan has cut out that hip hip garbage after follow the leader but still they are a horrible band and their songs are mostly the same usual mediocre and uninspiring lyrics about how f**ked up life is. falling away was one of the most dumbest songs/daddy and let's get this party started well all of them do. None of these songs are anyewhere creative or amazingly talented the guitar riffs are all the same they sound so poorly like the guitars are farting really loud poorly quality bass use sloppy drummings and jonathan is not a rocker he's a whiner and an embarrassment who needs to seek professional help. Korn is without a doubt a pathetic attempt to be called metal and their a discrace to real metal heads. I use to like em back in highschool but not anymore I found my true taste in what I love now.

Revenant Voices.......2007-06-15

John, I have to completely agree with you. Korn made a tremendous effort in crafting an elaborate masterpiece like that of "Issues." I took a break from listening to Korn by time I was a sophomore in high school (mostly due to my archaic religious beliefs), and just turned my head to some of the albums I missed from 2002-2006. "Issues" has always been a jewel in my CD collection (now my Ipod's sleeve!), and it will always be for its uniqueness, emotional content, and subliminal messages of hate, love and f***ed up life.

This started the experimental side of Korn, with mixed results.........2007-05-31

I enjoyed this cd just like I enjoy all the other Korn cds. But it is one that I normally don't listen to straight through. There are some songs that I skip over. The really good songs, like "Falling Away From Me", "Trash", "Make Me Bad" and "Somebody, Someone" are great additions to the Korn catalog, but I find it hard to get into the other songs as much. None of the other songs are bad, it's just that I have so many other great Korn songs to listen to instead, and I prefer the heavier side of Korn from previous outings. It is worth buying just for those hit songs I mentioned, but don't expect another "Follow the Leader".

The best crystal bowl cd ever? Yeah right..........2007-02-17

That's what I said as I read the reviews here and clicked over to the author's website... so I reluctantly handed over my cash with little expectation, and well, I have to say... I agree!

Frankly, I was a little surprised, I love this kind of music and my last purchase of Stephen Halpern's Crystal Bowls was disappointing to say the least as it was filled with synthesizers and other cheesy New Age effects. This one is not and I wouldn't even lump it with a New Age tag (as the product description has). It' just truly beautiful music. The resonance is wonderful and the first chakra track is great for getting me, or my space back into alignment. Simply put it on in the background and clear your space. Wonderful! The other tracks on the CD have beautiful touches including shamanic instruments like the Buffalo drums, rattles, native flutes, rain sticks and other instruments. All appropriately added, expertly played and NO New Age cheese. What's interesting about it is that the CD recorded in one evening with no manipulations. I love reading books and listening to audio of people that have opened their heart - you can feel that in the work... in a similar way I think this is transmitted through music and it most definately is here.

I have since recommended and raved about this CD to all my friends. If you're a healer with a practice, you're going to want it for background music or just clearing your space. For everyone else, it's wonderful for relaxation and coming back into balance (put on your headphones for a real treat) or just some soothing music to play after a hard day or most definately for people who are not feeling well.

Other crystal bowl CDs I like include Benjamin Iobst Seven Metal Singing Bowls of Tibet and Crystal Voices by Deborah Van Dyke. Daniel Goleman's work is also fantastic - Chakra Dance, Chakra Chants and his Om CD (although all his work is good).

I highly recommend this beautiful CD. There are extra touches, with different instruments so if you're using it purely for meditation, that may distract you (as some other reviewers seem to have experienced). That is, I guess, a matter of personal preference - some people would be okay with the other instruments. It's the kind of CD where you that makes you go and buy everything the artist has ever produced. Of the hundreds of the healing type CDs I have, this is, and will remain, well and truly at the top of the heap. This might just be... the best crystal bowl CD ever!

Very good for meditation.......2007-01-11

I listened to this during my hospital stay on my iPod because I could not sleep. It helped me immensely.

Incredibly Healing and Soothing Sounds!.......2006-11-03

This CD, just like all Crystal Vibrations productions, is pure healing. I can always count on the first track (Chakra Alignment) to bring me back into balance and alignment. I also use this disc as a space clearing tool for my home... the high vibrations resonate throughout, leaving my space feeling warm and wonderful. A multi-purpose musical adventure... how can you resist?

Wow, Raising the Vibe!!.......2005-11-23

Pretty incredible music that makes everything I do while listening seem to happen effortlessly. It shifts and "tunes up" the energy in the room and in me! The Chakra alignment is like a warm up to the magic of all the other instruments that weave in and out of the singing bowls. So you can stay really focused and present or drift off into deeply meditative states. Listening to the soothing music on this CD is one of the best prescriptions you can give yourself! If you want to journey to the far reaches of the universe, treat your self to their CRYSTAL PORTAL CD and get Journey to Wholeness for taking care of everything else!!

Lighten Up, Chill Out and Recharge.......2005-10-17

This is my favorite of all the meditation and singing crystal bowl music I own and I have a huge collection. Initially, I used it for meditation in the morning before work and then again when I got home. It left me calm for the day and recharged at night. Then I thought to put it on while paying bills and doing stressful chores. The resonance of the crystal bowl tones had an immediate effect. I was able to focus and breathe with ease while I completed my tasks. The sound quality is superb and you get all the beautiful overtones that can only come on a live recording. And the effect is lasting. For a real vacation, listen to this CD with headphones.

Album Description

Tissues and Issues is the eagerly anticipated new album from Charlotte Church. Heralding a major musical change of direction for Charlotte, the album is a scintillating journey through a whole range of genres and moods.

Album highlights include the first single 'Crazy Chick', the personal and anthemic 'Finding My Own Way', the intimate 'Confessional Song' and the intriguing and addictive 'Casualty of Love'. By turns exuberant and impassioned, heartfelt and accomplished, the album is the perfect showcase for Charlotte's own unique style. Sony. 2005.

Album Details

The Youthful Classical "Angel" Sheds her Wings and Dives Headstrong Into that Vat of Pop, Shaking off Any Divine Dust Left Behind. The Grown Up Ms. Church Has Decided to Join the Forces of Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson and Shifted her Allegiances. Includes the First Single "Crazy Chick".

Customer Reviews:

SORRY CHARLOTTE - Even God can't change my view on this album . . ........2007-05-15

I bought this CD, expecting it to be somewhat easy to listen to. I was wrong! The whole album is a waste of money! Every track is completely over-produced with terrible synthetic pop sounds and heavy background vocals. I am warning you - DON'T BUY THIS! I'm not going to write a long and dragged-out review about this album, with scores and comments. Her voice has taken a nose-dive. It's WAY to breathy and weak. Please - After Charlotte's recent behavior against the Catholic church and her use of language, cigarettes, and alcohol, all you're going to do is put more money in her pocket to keep doing these things.

Pure OUTSTANDING Pop Album.......2007-05-10

What drew me into this album first was the excellent art direction of the cover. Then, I saw the Charlotte Church name and became quite curious & intrigued. The album is obviously targeted towards a pop audience and succeeds on every level. Musically, it's a wonderfully cohesive pop album with, what I found to be, quite sophisticated and mature lyrics. There is a wise-beyond-her-years sensibility to the lyrics.
I'm totally in love with the fact you can understand every single word she sings even without having to refer to the generously supplied lyric sheets. The arrangements are crisp and Charlotte's phrasing is perfect as she conveys each story/song.
On many levels she surpasses the other pop princesses and young female vocalists out there.
Highlights include uptempo tunes such as "Call My Name", "Moodswings (Come At Me Like That)" & "Crazy Chick".
By the way, "Call My Name" has a fantastic video!

Charlotte Church.......2007-05-07

Ms Church definitely experimenting on this album- did not like it. In fact would not have recognised her voice if I didn't know it was her. Voice is different on each song- talk about multiple personalities.

Not gotten this CD yet, but I am quite disappointed..........2007-04-04

I am disappointed after finding out that Charlotte got pregnant by her boyfriend, when the world saw her as an innocent, beauty with a powerful beautiful voice. To say the least, I was shocked and appauled by her actions having sex at her age, not only to give people the impression she had morals and faith in God. I find it disconcerting she changed her genre to pop music. I think she should have stayed with her Opera-etic talent.

I am not rating the album.......2007-03-18

I just want to say that maybe a girl thrust into one genre doesn't really have the voice to do classical music anymore. Or maybe she's an adult now and doesn't want to do it anymore. Whatever it is, judge the album based on its merits or lack thereof not what she used to do or sing.

Girls' voices change too. Maybe she just can't sing the way she used to. Was she classically trained? Did she have a choice then?

I wish there were samples on this page so I could truly judge so to be fair this isn't a critique of Charlotte or the album. As people grow and try to find themselves we must give them a little room to settle where they see fit. Give her ten years and then see.

Thanks for listening.

NIIU...not N2U.......2005-12-28

I just bought this album...very disappointed!
I grew up listening to the "new up and comers" in NY, and in 1994-95, there was the group "NIIU" that came out with some SWEET vocals, and then faded out of oblivion. They produced a song called "I miss you" with some tight piano lyrics on the track, and it was one of the best albums I have heard in awhile. It's too bad that the name has been used again with NONE of the same players involved...

Email me if you liked this review.

(4.75 Stars) - Don't Sleep On N2U!!!.......2005-06-10

N2U is the product of Chris Stokes, who rose to fame with his groups IMX, B2K, and the female counterparts Gyrl and TG4. Whereas all those other groups focused entirely on their labelmates, along with dance cuts and sappy ballads, N2U strays away from the format; the result is a wonderful album that cannot be missed.

All of the songs are definitely worth listening to. This is one of those rare albums that you can play all the way through without skipping any. This album isn't for dance fanatics, for this is a very ballad-heavy album, but that's definitely not detrimental to it. This album simply WORKS.

Anytime you start off with an excellent intro, you know you have a soild album, and N2U does just that. "Because of You" is an excellent vocal masterpiece, with lovely vocals and excellent backdrop instrumentals. "Freakin' You (Set the Mood)" is excellent and has a lovely lead vocal with some serious backgrounds, with some good lyrics. By far my favorite two songs on the album.

What also makes this album work is the various subject matter. It's not all about "ooh baby, I love you forever", but N2U deals with some issues that go on in everyday life. "Baby Mama Love" is relatable to a lot of men, and the song works because it's nowhere near overdone vocally, production-wise, or lyrically. It sounds like it's read straight from someone's journal or thoughts. Interesting. Also, "Breakin' the Law" is a sexy song that tells you what a man is going to do to his lady, but not in a raunchy "et me lick you way", but also not having any cares about the act's surroundings. A lovely song at best! "Beauty" tells you how many people go to someone's looks to keep the relationship knowing that it can't keep it going. And the song is, again, not overdone at all. And of course, the hidden track "What Goes Around Comes Around" teaches us the old adage of karma. Beautiful.

Why 4.75 stars? First, because "Because of You" had the perfect potential to be a whole song and it was just an interlude. When it went off, I was like, no!!! I would have loved to hear a whole song of that. Also, Jermaine Dupri is the only guest star on this album and even he was unnecessary. N2U could have done this album without anyone! lol

All in all, this album is one of those rare finds that you have to have. It's such a shame that it's underpromoted and overlooked, for it is definitely a classic. It's funny that N2U shines where the other groups under Stokes has failed -- in the vocals -- yet doesn't get the recognition they deserve. Here's hoping that we get some more N2U played!

I'm so n2 N2U.......2005-05-27

The album is hot! Chris "The Brainchild" Stokes has struck Gold once again! N2U is taking people by storm. When I first saw the music video for "Issues", they won my support, nevertheless I support all the artists from TUG. With songs like "Baby Mama Drama" which conveys a realistic situation and "Breaking the Law" has some hot lyrics that puts a whole new twist on the title itself, it had me putting the cd on repeat. I can listen to this cd the whole way through and not get tired of it. So don't sleep on N2U,they will be around for some time to come!

makes you think of when music was good and hartful .......2005-05-06

when i herd the second and later the first i was hooked and the most soulful albums i have herd lately i hope TUG keeps it comming cuz i dont know what they been doing in the pass but now they realy want to mack good music and i will support that any day. When you can feel the music thats a good thing for all the R&B fans that just want bubble gum pop it's cool and all but it don't last but this goup will dont sleep on em there on the top of there game

i'm n2 this cd.......2005-04-24

this is a very good cd and worth every penny i paid for it. they have a lot of good songs on this cd. it's a different sound and the lead singer has a unique voice. this group has a very bright future if they keep it on this road.

Album Description

According to Stephen Holden, of The New York Times "The music of Phil Roy... accomplishes a delicate emotional surgery countless troubadours have tried, but few have been able to carry off. [Roy] describes personal experiences of love, loss and spiritual revelation with a naked honesty untainted by narcissism."

Holden joins the list of prominent music critics to hail `Issues + Options' as one of 2003's most compelling albums.

Customer Reviews:

MIddle of the Road.......2007-02-06

It's upbeat and the guy has a pleasant voice; he doesn't shrill and he can carry a tune. I give it a 3 because I bought the disc for a 1$ for one song "Undeniably Human" which someone had used in a youtubedotcom clip they put together. And yes, regrettable the rest of the album does sound a bit the same but since I really only like the one and it was only a dollar I'm not complaining.

The Sound Of Humanity.......2004-02-20

This is a marvelous body of such touching music- it's been just
two weeks since I received a copy of this CD, and it has etched itself into my psyche- I love it when new music can so infuse the consciousness that it will greet me upon waking and sustain my emotional infrastructure during the day- such a wide variety of raw emotion and feeling. It feels as though some of these words and songs were written to be heard by only a few loved ones- they are so very personal and vulnerable- The redemption we receive from these songs are only visited after being belted around
pretty heavily, but I'm grateful for the ride- Us older folk need a good whoop upside the head. I want to get a copy to each of my 4 kids- in their 20's, but some of the music is almost too intense!; none-the-less I will pass on this gem to them. God bless Phil Roy for such a raw and expressive heart, and the will to share his humanity/spirit with us.

Phil Roy is a treasure...........2004-02-04

Phil Roy has one of the most beautiful, plaintive singing voices I've ever heard. I'm 47 and my 27 year old friend turned me
on to his music a few months back. I'm hooked....it's beautiful and cannot lend the CD to someone else who'd like to listen.

an oassis.......2004-01-29

Issues + Options is a beautiful collection of songs about our human condition. Phil Roy not only writes about life in a way which we can all relate, his soulful voice makes it easy to connect. Sometimes soaring, sometimes sensitive, Phil Roy sings from his heart. This album is a gem, truly an oassis in what can be a wasteland of popular music. Surrounded by excellent musicians, Phil Roy has made an exceptional record of comtemporary songs, a must for real music lovers.

This is the worst!.......2004-01-24

Every track on this cd sounds alike. They consist of gruff whining and moaning, making the entire cd very annoying. It's my own problem, of course, because I bought two of his cd's, on the basis of listening to one 30 second sample. Just awful! Too annoying to even sleep through. Please. Someone can buy mine; they've been played only once.

Album Description

Chris Cunningham and John Hermanson of Storyhill are proud to announce their newest project: DUOTONES: A TRIBUTE TO DUOS OF THE '70's, a tribute record in which they cover songs of famous duos from the 1970's, such as Simon & Garfunkel, Hall & Oates, Steely Dan, and The Carpenters, among others.

Why do a cover record of '70's music? Chris says, "The music of the singer-songwriters of the 1970's was my first source of inspiration as a budding artist, so when the idea of Storyhill creating an album of cover songs of the 70's came up it struck a chord with me right away. It seemed like a great way to honor an era of artists that have informed and influenced our sound." John says, "Before we wrote our own songs, Chris and I were covering artists from John Denver to U2, Simon & Garfunkel to REM in coffeeshops in our hometown of Bozeman, Montana. After 11 records together we decided it was time to pay homage to the some of those artists who originally inspired us to make songs of our own."

I saw these guys open with Lifetime for Good Riddance and they blew Good Riddance away. They reminded me of Monsula live... it was a great show and this is a great album. Get it if you like punk rock.

Boyd Comes Around.......2004-08-24

While many of Boyd's greatest moments have come in collaboration with his more celebrated cohort, Sherman Alexie, this incredible collection of songs confirms that Jim Boyd stands on his own with just as much grace and authority. Albums like "First Come, Last Served" suggest that a songwriting renaissance exists within the Native American community worthy of the glories that emerged from the American folk scene throughout the 60s and 70s. Boyd is one of those unusual talents who can express the private nightmares of his own heart in such an open and honest way that a much larger audience identifies with them. From "No Way's" biting and eloquent political angst to the flawless and poignant "Same Old Door," a song about turning one's back on drug and alcohol addiction, Boyd hits the notes that matter both with his words and his engaging musical arrangements. But for all his obvious discontent, Boyd's work celebrates as much as it laments. Songs like "Creator Way," for all their dour resignation, never lose sight of their hope in human fortitude, extolling the strength to "not fall apart." While overindulgences like the unlistenable "Powwow Highway 49" show that boyd is as capable of overproduction as he is of restraint, the album packs too much momentum for any one clunker to sink it. In "First Come, Last Served," Jim Boyd has served up a masterpiece -- clear and simple. Shame on Rolling Stone for failing to include Boyd in their "Rock 'N Roll Encyclopedia," when the man is writing some of the most sincere music to surface in a generation.

Jim's music really hits the HEART.......2001-12-22

FIRST COME, LAST SERVED.......2000-12-02

THE ALBUM TITLE SAYS IT ALL..MY FAVORATE SONG ON THIS AWSOME CD IS -A MILLION MILES AWAY- A SONG ANYONE CAN RELATE TO THAT WANT TO ESCAPE REALITY. JIM BOYD IS ONE OF THE BEST NATIVE ARTIST OUT THERE IT WOULD BE AWSOME IF HE AND BILL MILLER, NEIL YOUNG MADE AN UNPLUGGED ALBUM TOGETHER IT WOULD ROCK...

Just get the original one...........2006-05-08

All right, first off; buy this album, listen to it, then listen to Linkin Park, Staind,or any of the other posers out there and tell me what you think of this album. Thats the funny thing about Korn, they get bad ratings from devoted Korn fans because they liked the sound of another album by them and wished they did it again. Yet if you do what I say, you will appreciate them that much more. If Korn never changed their sound, guys, then alot of you wouldn't have gotten Follow the Leader, or the underrated Untouchables, so lets try to keep the ratings in perspective here, guys. I am giving this album 4 stars instead of the 5 it deserves out of respect for Korn self titled. That album is a out-of-the-park masterpiece, and to give any other album by Korn a 5-star rating will diminish that. See where I'm going?
Okay, to the album in question: Issues

This is their second-best album they have come out with in my opinion, (thats opinion, not fact, there are lots of Follow the Leader fans out there) but this is their most consistant, pleasing entry since Korn self-titled. There is hardly a weak track on here, and yes, I am counting the "fillers". That is a controversy on this album, I can see that from reading reviews. Okay, this album was made to be listened to in one sitting, and they add to the pace and feel of the album nicely. I also think that is why they didn't put a bonus track in there, because it would have changed the feel of the album. This isn't a concept album, really, sort of a semi-concept album. Also, if you listen to Life is Peachy, or other Korn albums, notice the backround noise in there occasionally? For example, in Good God in Life is Peachy, right at the end, you can hear the band members laughing. It happens a few times in various albums (not just Korn). I think this was done on purpose, to add to the whole feel of the album, and makes the whole listening experience that much more enjoyable. When I first bought this album (off Amazon by the way, mint condition, really cheap price) I went to my room, turned off the lights, closed my eyes, and listened to the album all the way through. Guys, if you buy this album, do yourselves a favor and do that, dont listen to the singles first, or even skip past a song because its boring. Instead, just let the music flow over you, and appreciate how the songs bleed into one another and create one great listening experience. Okay, that may sound a little over-the-top, this isn't a masterpiece or anything, all im saying is appreciate the sound that Korn obviously worked hard to achieve. Also, I know iv covered the fillers in full, but this was by no means a rush-job. I know that this album came out only a year after Follow the Leader, but this is way more mature and way more serious. The fillers are there for a reason, and to be honest, I would rather have them there than have only 11 or 12 songs on there, wouldn't you. Finally, I believe that this is Korn's second-best album because it is also their least mainstream, which is a nice break after Follow the Leader.

1 Dead: 10/10 Korn really has great taste when it comes to opening and closing albums. This is NOT a filler, instead its a quiet, despairing opening, and really lets you know whats in store for the rest of the album.

2 Falling Away From Me: 8/10 Ahh, the first single of the album. I have to say I am only giving this song an 8 because of the catchy guitars on it. For one I dont really like the song overly, but if this makes any sense, its the perfect song to come after Dead.

3 Trash: 8/10 Seems to be a fan favorite. Again not terrific (which is why Korn self titled gets a 5, almost every song on it is terrific) but more than good. It is very catchy, and you will probably be skipping to it over and over (after you have listened to the whole album at once I hope)

4 4U: 7/10 To tell the truth I dont like this song very much, but again it contributes to the flow of the album. Obviously its for all the Kornheads out there, a message to their fanbase.

5 Beg for Me: 8/10 This song takes awhile to get into, but its a really good song once you understand what hes saying. As you have probably heard, its about preforming onstage. I think it has to do with a fear of failing onstage, not getting any support from the audience. "your the crowd, give it back to me, you wont beg for me, beg for me".

6 Make me Bad: 10/10 Arguably the best song on the album (for me it competes with Lets Get this Party Started) and probably competes for one of the most catchy chorous's they have ever come out with. Like Trash, it tells the story of Jonathan's obsession with having sex. Sidenote: Obsession with sex is a recurring theme in all of Korn's albums, most recently on almost every song on See You On The Other Side, but this album covers it much more seriously and tastefully than See You On The Other Side.

7 Its Gonna Go Away: 6/10 For almost any other filler by Korn or any other band, I would just give it a 1 or 2, but this album is special. However, this is the worst song on the album. I think they are there to slow it down a little more, but you dont have to worry about dozing off or anything, because right after that is a very rude awakening :)...

8 Wake Up: 9/10 Ironic, huh? Anyways, if you have read any of the other reviews, you will know that this song is about feuding amongst band members. It is indeed a very rude awakening, because Korn, or more specifically, Head and Munky, start off the song with the guitars already roaring. This is a rarity on any song, because even though Head and Munky sometimes start off a song with a hard opening riff, it feels like you have gotten in the middle of a song(I thought at first that my cd player was skipping). But everything about this song is great, and I especially love the brief guitar riff before Jon comes in with the chorous.

9 Am I Going Crazy?: 6/10 Sounds alot like Its Gonna Go Away, but thats okay. I think they were trying to slow our blood pressure after the adreniline rush of Wake Up, and I dont mind one bit. (weird I felt like they were stringing me along the entire way). Not a noteworthy song, but its one you can appreciate if you are listening to the whole thing at once. After you do that, you will most likely skip it, however.

10 Hey Daddy: 7/10 Weird opening to the song, and a weird song altogether. I personally dont like it too much, but the chorous is pretty good. I can't make up my mind if this is about abuse or substance abuse. ex"i do not live without them" that would make me think hes talking about drugs. Dont really have too much to say about this song.

11 Somebody Someone: 8/10 The third single off the album, and I can't for the life of me understand why. The guitars are great, and the chorous is all right, but its no where near as good as Trash or Lets Get This Party Stared. It is, however, a perfect example of what this album is like. Not flashy or in your face, like Take a Look in The Mirror, or hip-hoppy and funny like Follow the Leader, but sick and desperate. Notice there is hardly any screaming or yelling on the entire album.

12 No Way: 8/10 A lot like Somebody Someone. Sick and desperate. Not entirely catchy, but I love it nonetheless. Adds to the feeling of desperation and despair of the album.

13 Lets Get This Party Started: 10/10 Tied for best song on the album. For the first time on the album, Jonathan lets some anger out, at least thats what I think it is. The whole song is sad and lonely, and the Vamp stresses that even more, and when you get to the chorous its unmatched. Great song.

14 Wish You Could Be Me: 7/10 yeah, its technically a "filler", but I actually sometimes skip to this little ditty. It sounds totally insane, literally. However, it actually sounds a little out of place on this album, and even though I enjoy it, it is just a little too cheery, but in a (I am totally insane) way.

15 Counting: 7/10 For some reason I dont like this song overly much. It sounds a lot like No Way, but it doesn't have the same charm, if you will call it, as No Way. Sorta Forgettable.

16 Dirty: 9/10 Honestly, it isn't the best closer Korn has ever done(Daddy and Kill You were all slam-dunk closers) but this one fits the album perfectly. This album isn't about hate, or angst, its about alcoholism, drug abuse, and despair. So Dirty closes this album off perfectly, and I know that some people are complaining that there is no hidden track, as I have stated, it fits.

All right, as for the extra tracks, none of them are special and all of them are forgettable, if you are a Korn completist, get it, otherwise, save your money and get the original one

Overall, like I said earlier, this is Korns best effort since Korn self titled. I will even go as far to say that this is Korn's most mature work, being so anti-mainstream. I am begging anyone out there who is a Korn fan to buy this album. You could download various songs, but you wont have the same treat as you will if you listen to the whole album. I know I have rambled quite a bit, and if I have bored you, I apologize, but I had a lot to say about this album, so thanks for reading. Now what are you waiting for? Click on the buy button!

Forget Punk Rock.......2005-11-06

This is probably the only rock review I will ever do, but I had to because this album is great. I'm a rap addict but when I wanna box somebody, or I'm just in a bad mood, this album gets me right. "Make Me Bad" and "Trash" are definitely the best songs on the album, and always help me get through a shi*ty day. Some will think that the tracks all sound the same, but if you listen carefully, you will notice how hard Korn worked to make each song a unique blend of metal, and alternative mastery. You can literally press play and just listen to disc one the whole way through (if you have the limited edition; if you don't just stick this CD in and press play). I recommend this album for just about any rock fan who doesn't like that older rock, but hates punk as much as I do. Also good for anyone that just keeps having bad days, weeks, months, or a bad life in general. Cop this disc! (That means buy it, DUDE.)

Very good.......2005-09-27

The case and the cd are in very good condition. I was very pleased.

with all the unreleased songs by korn, there could be more.......2001-03-25

its cool to have if your a true fan but they should have included more. I would rather get them on this cd then have to hunt for the rare songs on napster but its still a good by.
