I'm just no a fan of no-talent music, so people who use auto-tune, or something like that. Im prefer real instruments. I'm also not a big dubstep fan .

I don't like dubstep either but I can see why some people that enjoy that genre might like this. Lulu on the other hand doesn't please any crowd in general except some people that want to look " open-minded".

That's a good point. I dont like the style of music in this album,

but, I mean... Lulu just sucks.

I don't believe what i will say now...but i want to hear this...i'm not fan of Korn but i think this might be curious to hear about...even if it's gonna be pure shit...which i don't fear...

If you survived Lulu, you can survive this.

Hahahahaha

Most of the album bores me. But, I really like this song.

WTF have Korn done by releasing this utter bilge, Lulu was bad, this is a fucking abomination. Dreadful.

I found "Narcissistic cannibal" and "Get up!" the only worth listening songs, the rest are just forgettable with some being kinda annoying. Also, where is the guitar, I cannot hear it, for real, there wasn't a moment in the album I could hear it.

I still don't know what to make of this album. Still didn't grow balls to actually hear it in its entirety. But I'm starting to like "Get Up" and "Narcissistic Cannibal".

The only type of music i hate, is dubstep. And what have Korn done? They went and made a motherfucking dubstep album with some singing.

I am accepting of most styles of music...being an avid fan of EDM and a metalhead, I found the concept for this album pretty interesting, despite the haters. I can easily say I am not a fan of Korn, and nor do I plan to be; however, I give them credit for completing a complicated project such as this dub-metal album. I must also admit that surprisingly, there are a number of decent and heavy tracks that show these guys do have the capability to continuously innovate without necessarily ending their careers.

Biggest shit ever almost as worse as Lulu from Metallica. Dubstep is only for people which don't have any selfrespect and does what any stupid teenager with an"own mind" does. If you remove their brain it will fall aport into horse shit and microwaved braincels. Please burn all the copies don't play it ever again and shoot all the members and fans of korn an skrillex.

Or for people that actually like that kind of music too.

It doesn't seem to be so obvious for some people

An album you love to hate... and hate to love.

...And this is better than "See you on the other side" or the "Untitled" album! There's good nu metal here, I would love to hear these songs without that Dubstep thing.


Any chance of Korn reunite with Silveria and Head, and release another Follow the leader??

Just listened to the two tracks with Skrillex, not bad at all. I might give the whole thing a listen someday.

Heard Narcissistic Cannibal in a strip club last night. Maybe it was the tits or a comparison to other songs I heard, but actually enjoyed it.

Hahah I actually liked this album!! Guilty pleasure-no doubt. i like electronica, and like the mix here, so I found it catchy. My first listen to Korn in ten years, so I guess the break did me good.

Downloaded this the other night, just to understand what are you people talking about.
So...this is shit canned. No, this is THE shit canned.

The best Industrial album of 2011.

How, uh, wahhh?!?

I was looking at the Metal Storm awards page and although it doesn't say it here, on the awards page it is listed as the highest vote-getter for Industrial albums last year.

That's insane! I know it's up to the voters but wow... I'm a huge fan of Korn and in no way did this album deserve any awards! Not to mention it's not even an industrial metal album! Crazy fans.

Skrillex ain't bad at all. Seriously.

Not much of a dubstep fan, but it's not terrible.

I honestly think this is better than Korn III

Some time ago I made a joke with a friend about Dubstep fusing with Metal, I actually got curious and searched later that day, and I found that "The Path Of Totality" was just that. Well.... at first glance I thought "Wtf? Korn and Skrillex? Oh god this is gonna be bad..." was scared but really curious at the same time.

After giving it a listen, I actually enjoyed the weird mix, it's somehow fresh. The songs sometimes sound like pretty much generic dubstep songs (or generic Korn songs) but when the mixture goes right it's great.

Thinking about it, Dubstep it's like the Metal of electronic music... don't kill me for what I just said pls. I mean, it has power on it, and is based in strong emotion, if that has any sense. Anyways, pretty good album to my taste. Rock on!

This album is unique, I'll leave it at that. I will say it's one of the most aggressive albums I've ever heard, but it's a sorta mindless aggression. It's not the dubstep I have problem with, it's actually well executed here, it's the mindlessness. Do rather like a few of the songs though. I regret getting the special edition as the bonus tracks suck the worst.

Also, anyone else notice some similar vocal melodies between this and Device?

I'm real late to this, but I used to be really, really into dubstep (or brostep for the "real dubstep" elitists). I was the equivalent of an elitist, and was disappointed that I couldn't find many people as passionate about it as I was. I didn't grow out of it, but the scene started to stagnate in 2013 and took a steep downhill in 2014, so I jumped ship to metal. I could go into great detail about all of the featured artists, their distinctive style, their contributions to the scene, and about how these songs compare to the rest of their songs, but nobody would really be interested. Anyway, here's a dubstep fan's view, since this album can be viewed from two different perspectives.

My Wall was where the mixture worked the best. Excision's darker, more mechanical, and more atmospheric songs always gave me the same unsettling feeling as the darkest Korn songs, and it shines through here. It reminds me a bit of Nevermore actually, and the bleak mechanical dystopias they created in Dead Heart and Obsidian Conspiracy. It's got a crushing, bass-heavy sound behind it that just feels so... nu metal to it. I feel as if it stands up well to the better Korn songs, and really does sound like if Korn's members all swapped to synthesizers and FL Studio.

Speaking of Excision, I had a massive amount of hype for Tension, because although Excision, Downlink, and Datsik are great friends that collab extremely often, this is the first time you see all three of them on the same song. And it was... disappointing. You can hear trademarks of all three, but it doesn't go anywhere from there. I actually think it was one of the weakest songs for sure.

Both Narcissistic Cannibal and Get Up! are so appealing because it doesn't fall into the pitfall that the other songs do: If you were to take the vocals out in the other songs, they would be dull dubstep songs with no structure. Really, the biggest weakness of the album is that a lot of it is boring. Those two are kickass action that never stop, and have a standard dubstep structure to them. Get Up! is quite cheesy though, but it's always been a guilty pleasure of mine. Burn The Obedient is pretty decent too, Noisia's atmospheric neurofunk isn't too far off from downtuned 7 strings. Sanctuary has some really good parts to it too, but the other parts feel too much like typical Downlink (cheesy alien wub-wub).

I think that it would be better if Korn used their regular instruments, but I respect their choice and I'm glad they took a risk that other bands didn't want to cross. At the very least, they hired the most talented names on the scene.

Considered their worst album by most, not surprisingly, if you can even consider it a true Korn album that is. I'm sorry but cringe ain't the word to describe this, the dubstep beats are painful to my ears, but I at least have given it a chance, and come to my own conclusion.

I understand there are people that actually like dubstep, and each to their own, but it's a music style I myself am really not into, so Korn releasing this, for me is a bad move personally, and I can see the majority of Korn fans not fully appreciating this horrendously bold move either.

The positive is this might just get dupstep fans into Korn, even if it's listening to more of their stuff out of curiosity after listening this, which may even be a gateway into metal for them, who knows?
