Unitron
Korn always change it up a bit on every album they put out, but Untitled especially sticks out as a particularly unique album within their discography and metal as a whole. I've always loved this album yet had a hard time describing it. It's noisy, it's melodic, it's heavy, it's eclectic, and more.
Songs like Starting Over, Evolution, Hold On, and Ever Be are instant classics with soaring bittersweet melodies, moody keyboards, atmospheric riffs and especially Ever Be's grandiose finale. Killing is a perfect example though of all the places the album will go. The pounding yet off-beat industrial percussion that opens it up reminds me of the Thought Industry song Cornerstone, the melodies and electronic undertones are of 80's goth nature, and the song closes with a blistering pure death metal finish.
and speaking of finish, I Will Protect You is up there with My Gift to You and Dirty as one of the band's best closing tracks. There's a brief bagpipe intro, constant ominous atmosphere, great melodies, crazy percussion, thunderous doom riffing bridge, sci-fi sounding ending, and like Killing another song that shows off the album's mix.
Untitled is like no other album I've heard, and one that defies a lone genre.
