Standout track: Fear Is A Place To Live
"Remember Who You Are" is Korn's 9th album--and it's hard to say much more about it. I took this album "for a walk" (my terminology for listening around town on my walkman) and listened to it several times. And the verdict is: it's immaculately produced, there's lots of amazing riffs and lyrics, and....it sounds exactly like every popular Korn song released since "Life Is Peachy" came out in 1996. There is very little change in the sound or content throughout the entire album, with the sole exception of "Fear Is A Place To Live", which puts the vocals a little more up front and adds a little ambience. Korn continues to sell records by the millions, and good on them for maintaining their success. This album will still appeal to the millions of Korn fans worldwide. When a band's albums become this formulaic, though, one starts to yearn for something creative, more brilliant, and more diverse. So it comes down to this: it's a good album, but one that doesn't take Korn to anywhere but where they've already been.
