Nowadays a lot of people would write Korn off without hearing a single note from their new album. In the recent years the band found themselves in a very interesting situation-they keep headline big festivals, but in the same time the majority of their fans consider by default that their creative potential has been long gone. This way of thinking is not only a result of the fan trauma that inflicted the audience when key figures in Korn left the band, but also because of the constant musical experiments (‘See You On The Other Side’ и ‘Untitled’), that left bitter taste in mouth and a sense of indifference in already grown up children of the Korn. May be this is the reason why ‘III Remember Who You Are’ sounds so directly and raw, almost like a 45 minute confession or like somebody’s desperate scream to seek for attention. The new Korn CD leaves the wrong impression that it wants to re-start the game, to get back to the values of the debut album and ‘Life Is Peachy’ from the middle of the 90’s when the so called nu-metal revolution expanded. I say ‘wrong’, because the album title and the involvement of the cult producer Ross Robinson make me think this way. In fact ‘III Remember Who You Are’ is no more retrospective than Metallica’s ‘Death Magnetic’, if you know what I mean. Korn are too different now to get back to their roots. Even when they make mistakes, they are absolutely going further, not back. This album is kinda signal that have found the right direction, but it’s not a easy listen and the songs in inside just don’t seem to have the charisma to make you fall in love with them. Unfortunately, only the single ‘Oildale (Leave Me Alone) and ‘Pop A Pill’ can be considered as strong hits which you will remember right away. The rest, despite the strong rhythm section, the menacing guitar work and the twisted vocls of Jonathan Davis, is insufficient, scattered and average. It seems we have to wait for a strong Korn album.
