Yet, Korn rebounded big time with the follow-up album called The Paradigm Shift as their old guitarist Head rejoined the band, and the album did feature a "shift" in their sound. Korn may have lost their way, or maybe they wanted to experiment further with their sound, I'm not sure, but they tried dub-step on an entire album in 2011 with The Path To Totality. It's their own song taken from See You On The Other Side. "Love Song" is not the The Cure's song though. Amy Lee from Evanescene joined them for one song, as well as Robert Smith from The Cure, which was actually the selling point for trying it out in the first place. The band had done what other great artists have done when performing an MTV UNplugged concert- they rearranged portions of their songs to feature new instruments and backing/guest vocalists. I actually gave it a listen and I was more than surprised, I was blown away. I felt like singer Jonathan Davis actually didn't have that good of a singing voice and would be exposed when it wasn't surrounded by chugging riffs and booming drums. The thought of Korn releasing an unplugged album did not just sound like it wouldn't be good, it sounded like an all around terrible idea. "Love Song" ( See You On The Other Side MTV UNplugged) The follow-up wasn't as good, or perhaps my expectations were just too high, because I really only latched onto this song. Either way, it was a bit refreshing at the time. It was like the band took elements of what influenced them and fused it into this 'heavy metal new wave' or perhaps they just tried to become more like Nine Inch Nails. One of the few that isn't a single from the band that I liked just as much as their hits.Īfter really liking much of See You On The Other Side and the added emphasis on electronics, I was really looking forward to what they did next. I came across a 2 CD Headbangers' Ball compilation through the radio station and really dug this Korn song. In the early 2000's MTV revived Headbangers' Ball, which featured the newer wave of heavy bands like Korn, Disturbed, also foreign bands like Opeth and Soilwork. Just throw this on at the club, scare away all the fancy-dressed jerks, and hail Satan while busting a move. It's like some freaky dance floor satanic ritual jam. Looking back, the dub-step Korn album doesn't seem too far out of left field after revisting this song.
