Here are some customer reviews of
Untouchables
: Needless to say, Korn invented the "nu-metal" sound the younger generation can't get enough of. Most listeners didn't jump on the Korn bandwagon until the days of Follow the Leader, but hopefully those people went back to listen to Korn's earlier stuff which is their best, as usual with most groups. After Issues it seemed Korn was starting to lose a bit of their edge, softening out a bit and making songs more radio-friendly. However, after listening to the new CD it's good to see that they haven't lost their edge, at least on most of the songs. A few tracks like Hollow Life, Hating, Alone I Break are on the softer side but they are still good tracks. Overall this is a very good CD but it's still no self-titled Korn. That's okay though because it shows Korn is not afraid to try other things and change it up once in a while, instead of being the same stagnant band like so many others do. This CD is definitely worth the money ...
 This album is the best and heaviest Korn album to date. I'm a very hardcore Korn fan and I had my doubts before I acutally popped this great cd into my cd player and listened to it. ...Overall its seems that Korn took the influences of KoRn, Life is Peachy, and Issues and combined them into this album. Its hardcore, angry, and very musicaly melodic all the same time. They tried new things and it came out perfect. This is a great ablum for new and old school listeners.People say Korn are the Godfathers of "New Metal". Well Korn is in a league of their one. They started a new sound and it was unlike anyone else. ...
 This is just commercial metal at it's worst. Korn is just another band that needs help selling their music so they beg MTV to help them. Their music reminds me of a bad dinner, a few minutes after listening to it, you vomit it right out. Korn claim to be metal, but to me they look like a bunch of white boys posing with their guitars trying to form a cool rap band. This music just raises one issue, nothing.
the new korn album 'untouchables' is indeed that,untouchable.
the band has made tremendous leaps and bounds with every album they have released over the last 8 years.
with there 5th studio album 'untouchables', korn have reinvented themselves once more to stay ahead of every band that in one way or another has copied korn's sound since korn debuted with there 1994 self titled debut.
there is an old saying that comes to mind as i write this'imitation is the sincerest form of flattery' but know matter how many bands copy there sound, korn is completely original.
from guitarists munky and head the guitars crush all competition with 'untouchables' on this album they do some of there heaviest work yet (the first single'here to stay',beat it upright and the second single thoughtless)and they also do some of the most quietest work i have ever heard from korn(hollow life,i'm hiding)
as with there other albums,korn fans will be divided once again. the band promised the world there heaviest album ever but for the band to release a disc with 14 heavy tracks would be pointless in a world full of angry screaming 'singers'.
which brings up another point,frontman jonathan davis actually sings as well as screams on the 14 tracks present(and for those of you who havent heard the jonathan davis vocals for the 5 songs he and richard gibbs wrote for 'queen of the damned'jon sings in those as well)
untouchables i feel is korns best disc to date otherwise i wouldnt have written this review and i also feel korn is one of the better bands out there right now and i know im not the only one who feels this way(im directing this at every band that has borrowed korns sound over the last 8 years because simply put without korn,you wouldnt be where you are right now:on the radio or in thousands of households)
Another very good album brought by these nu-metal (almost) legends. Awesome. Like every other korn album, it's not at all like a previous one. It has a very good, emproved sound (without that roaring bass from Issues). The tracks are both hard hitting (Here to stay, Blame, Bottled up, Wake up hate) and, something kind of new for Korn, more with a melody (Hollow life, Alone I break). Korn is still the best, not getting softer or repetitive. Jon Davis's childhood traumas still come to life in Beat it upright. The album is very good, although you may sometime feel like there are some guitar chords you heard before (No one's there) but I may be wrong. So, if you are tired of Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park's comercial stuff, grab this one. It's a must.
