KoRn III (Remember Who You Are)
KoRn is without a doubt one of those bands that’s been on every headbanger’s lips at some stage in their life, one of those bands that have managed to make at least one favoured song in almost every album released. Even to headbangers that don’t even like them.
Korn has had a prodigal career up until now and regardless of one or two dreadful releases, they are enduring to go ahead and arouse millions of young bands across the globe to never back down when facing your dreams and the success thereof. Never give up and remember who you are! This is what the band reminds us with the seemingly third instalment of their ever so popular debut!
But how exactly will KoRn III (Remember who you are) cope with Headbang Today’s Power Review? Well let’s get going:
At first glance, the album seems a bit short. It carries a total of eleven tracks; one of which is the album’s intro track and the rest are deficient, barely longer than five minutes. But once popped in, with the volume cranked up… WHO THE FUCK CARES, right? It’s KoRn!
Jonathan Davis sticks to his renowned vocal grumble while KoRn’s traditional funky bass bitch slappin’ and heavy guitar riffs destroy any sign of tenderness in the atmosphere. It’s KoRn as we know them: Hard, Loud, Heavy and Raw! So, yeah, if you’re a KoRn fan then this album is for you! One thing that also stood out about Davis’ voice is the one step up with heavyweight roars which divinely work with the album’s darkness.
While we enjoyed it, we would’ve loved for the album to have more tracks! Non KoRn fans might want to give selected tracks a few listens before starting to get into it, but this album is worth a top ten nomination at the end of 2010.
