http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/news/Korn-Stream-Oildale-Leave-Me-Alone-From-Korn-III-21314.aspx (scroll down a little bit)

Korn's 9th studio effort, Korn III - Remember Who You Are marks a return to form for the modern metal powerhouse. Enlisting famed producer Ross Robinson, the man who helmed the boards on their first two albums, guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer explains the dynamic, saying, "Teaming up with Ross has brought that raw, emotional feeling back to the music. Ross is the only person in the world that's ever been able to draw us to that place. He reminds us why we're here, why these songs are important to our fans and why what we do as a band relates. He made us remember how our music saves lives, and he came into the picture at the perfect time. We had no record label and just wanted to make a great album. Ross stepped in at the right moment to hit the reset button."

What does everyone think about the new song? I've always liked the band and I enjoy listening to all of their abums. Most people though, say that their earlier albums are the only good ones. The band seems to think they are going back to their roots, and I'm not so sure. The beginning sounds like their older work. Then later on the song seems to lose it.

I thought they broke up like a decade ago. Not bad though.

It's OK for a track on the album. I'm not a fan so it's not convincing me to go down memory lane of their old stuff or anything. If they feel they are making an honest album where they don't have the urge to please the fans or label then good for them. For me though this is not going to turn me on to them.

They aren't very heavy. Its bass heavy but the guitars aren't very significant in the song.

I've never been that into them. I only like a few of their songs anyway.

They need to get Head back before they can be making the good stuff.
