Pat Boone did it.
this thread contains links to some of the most awful shite i have ever seen in my entire life.
well met.
It sounds like it might have it’s good moments but I’m still very iffy after the singles. But I can say it’s gonna be better than their last 2 albums.
I actually really enjoy about half of it, or so. Not a single bad song IMO, but some are pretty forgettable.
Skinny Magazine once again nails the reviews and Jon Davis reveals his true self…1 out of 5 stars was waaaaaaaaaaaay too generous for this sonic poop.
Korn – The Path of Totality -1/5 stars -Album review by Mark Shukla.
Published 25 November 2011
Jon Davis: “They (our fans) don’t really understand dubstep but then they relate to it because it’s heavy and dark but not techno. They’re like, ‘This isn’t gay techno music. This is something different’.” Rarely has an artist managed to cut to the core of their own awfulness so concisely, whilst simultaneously revealing their own mercenary attitudes towards creativity.
Filled to buggery with pointless robot noises and ultrahardcore WUB WUB WUB-iness, The Path of Totality finds Korn welding their own brand of tired miserabilism to aggro productions from the likes of Skrillex, Excision and Downlink. The album’s one and only solid chorus crops up on Narcissistic Cannibal (briefly evoking a sort of early-Birthday Massacre gothic pomp), but the overwhelming impression is one of relentless, bludgeoning stupidity. The Path of Totality makes it very clear that the only thing Jon Davis learned from nu-metal was when to spot a potential marketing opportunity.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Case in point . . . this giant chunk of whiny emo faggitry . . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PA98SU7Qe4A
Oh. That’s dubstep.
Wait…that’s dubstep?!?! Really?!?!
Fuck me.
Just like ‘Emo’ by the time ‘Dubstep’ got big enough to be popular it’s crap. Innovators dozed under by Imitators. WUB WUB WUB.
KoRn showing they still suck, nothing new.
Akbar, that review was fantastic. WUBWUBWUB
And the album ISN’T being promoted as a dubstep album. It’s supposed to be a mix of House, DnB, etc. People started calling it a dubstep album, not the band.
Dude, I’ve read at least 3 articles/ reviews on this project and in every one Davis himself is quoted and use the “Dubstep” term. Akbar just posted another.
Jon Davis: “They (our fans) don’t really understand dubstep but then they relate to it because it’s heavy and dark but not techno. They’re like, ‘This isn’t gay techno music. This is something different’.”
Personally, it all just sounds like gay techno music to me.
That review hurt me. Probably bc it’s true. I’m gonna give it a chance bc I can’t really seem to give up on Korn even though I never really finished listening to their last album. That album was pretty painful. The thing about Korn over the last decade is that they’ve never really put out the same album twice (although I can’t totally prove that bc I don’t really remember listening to Take A Look In The Mirror).
Korn make Marilyn Manson seem like the most credible act on earth.
What really makes me laugh are all the “Korn were ok but their new albums suck” type arguments.
They were never ok.
ok?
That coming from a guy who’s a grown man who likes Cradle Of Filth.
There is only one true master of the Dubstep.
His name is Fingaz.
Fudge Fingaz.

ABOUT THIS ITEM
Eagerly anticipated new release from the elusive but cultishly followed Firecracker camp. Main man Fudge Fingas takes the reins while current deep house poster boy, Vakula contributes a remix. “What Works” has lashings of classic sounding acid house along with Chicago and Detroitian influences. This is however, Scottish deep house baby, and things are given a suitably discordant, UK twist with plenty of off-key synth licks and flanging hi-hats offering confusion and disorientation in the club. The arrangement is long and powerful, building in dynamics and with various layers of instrumentation filling out the mix. Definitively no ‘house-by-numbers’ and I severely doubt this is an Ableton production (though these days who can tell!?) - the track oozes life and soul like nothing else, to the point where you can almost hear the vinyl breath as the compression kicks in on all the hardware. Vakula gets on the downbeat Theo-esque vibe; offering us some deep subby kick drums, typewriter hats and clicks and a bubbling, simmering take on the mix and arrangement. Not to mention some really lush string and keyboard licks; deep, sublime, very nice. Finally, Fudge Fingas gets down with the kids and brings us some tropical, steel-drum vibes (steel drums ARE the new 303 don’tchaknow?) with “Mass X”. Much more natural and euphoric than Jamie XX’s recent effort (sorry James!), the beatless track glides along on a beam of coastal radiance, climaxing with the fiery hot sunset it so rightly deserves. Epic 10" - I don’t need to tell you how quick this’ll fly out… "
“Now About How” is the highly anticipated debut album from Gavin Sutherland aka Fudge Fingas. A talented multi-instrumentalist who purveys a style of deep house that is hard to pin down but very much his own, Fudge Fingas tracks are invariably emotive, impeccably produced affairs, demonstrating a keen knowledge of electronic music. The fact his music has been included on mixes by artists as varied as Amé and Joy Orbison should hint at the broad range of his musical abilities.
“Now About How” is an album that fuses diverse styles, tipping its cap to a world of sounds absorbed over the course of a lifetime. It is the sound of Fudge’s childhood spent learning from his record loving family about the many wonders of 20th century recorded music, filtered through the classic house and techno template which was the soundtrack to his formative years. It’s the sound of how we got to now, and where we might go from here. Fudge Fingas is a man very much immersed in his music. As well as producing he manages Edinburgh’s best dance music record shop Underground Solu’shn whilst also lending his musicianship to tracks by other artists on Prime Numbers such as Linkwood and Trus’me."
Cool.
Now I can go back to my original opinion that all dubstep is crap.
And am I the only one that thinks that Skrillex kid looks like Darlene from “Roseanne”.
Thank the Gods for roots music, everthing else is just hipster shit.
