The first true song finds Davis telling us "My time is over, God is going to take me out." Could this be a reaction to Head's discovery of faith? It may, or it may not, it is one of a few potential swipes at their former member. I would like to think that there are no hard feelings between the guys, and this just happens to be a coincidence. In the end, it makes little difference, as, musically, this is a good album.

The first single is "Evolution" which features the familiar Korn structure, although it feels a bit more sparse in its arrangement, and the underlying keyboards add a nice dimension. "Kiss" is a strong outing, a Korn epic of emotional pleading like they have never been before. It is even more sparsely arranged and just sounds great. This follows into the more aggressive, but still dirge-like paced, "Do What They Say."

"Love and Luxury" finds a return to a more old school Korn styled track, although it still has freshness to it. Also, keep an ear to the ground during "Innocent Bystander" and "Killing" which introduce some nicely detuned crunch. The latter featuring some nice growling from Davis. Untitled comes to a close with the dark lullaby "I Will Protect You," an interesting conglomeration of crunchy guitars, a lightly singing Davis, with swirling keyboards in the background.

I really like this album, it stands head and shoulders above their last few offerings and includes some interesting new sounds for the band. Particularly, I love the drum sound throughout. It is very different from Silveria's sound and just brings a new dimension to the music. Still, at its heart this is still a Korn album, and based on that fact you will have to decide if this is for you. I will remain an unapologetic fan of the band until they betray my faith. It may tarnish my objectivity a touch, but this is a good album, and will stand near the top of their catalog.

Bottomline. Korn is in the process of reinventing themselves in the wake of their first lineup shakeup. It is a growing process as they seek to redefine themselves in an ever changing musical landscape. This is a very good step at moving forward, moreso than they have ever done in the past. Like them or not, give this album a try; you may be surprised by what you find.

Highly Recommended.
