Ever since 2002, Korn seem to be alternating between an attempt to try something different which has mixed results, followed by something a lot more traditional and commercial that is great... so we have the mediocrity of 'Take A Look In The Mirror', followed by the pop-metal awesomness of 'See You On The Other Side', followed by the odd, disjointed, not entirely awful untitled album, followed by this album, 'Korn III: Remember Who You Are'. A return to roots in both style, and the fact that they once again have Ross Robinson twiddling the knobs in the studio.
The result is as you'd expect... not only a return to roots, but a complete return to form, complete with some of the best songs the band has released since 'Untouchables'.

Of course, true to form, Korn have just released an album where they step away from their roots once again and play a bunch of metal/dub-step mash-ups that misses the point with a few tracks, but not as often as it hits. Still, nowhere near as good as their more traditional albums.
