I think this is one of the most sensible choices for a second single, along with perhaps "Pop a Pill" and "Are You Ready To Live?".

The reviews have been looking excellent for this album. The sole negative review I've seen came from Slant, but Spin, Allmusic, Kerrang! and all the main metal-leaning sites have spoken very favorably of "Korn III".

Namaste,

Theprp.com called the spade a spade and gave it a 2/5. I wouldn't go that low, but it's certainly no prize, unfortunately.

Great choice on their part, I think.

Dammit, it appears I'm my own victim, yet again, of looking at the preview and forgetting it's not the posted reply. SMH.

I don't care for this track so far. I have this ranked next to last (leaving out "Uber-Time," but including both bonus tracks) on my front-to-back song-ranking run-through of Korn III. To be fair, I always at least do a back-to-front run-through and sometimes even a shuffled run-through before I start listening in the order the songs are stabilizing in and finally put it in the books.

Of course, my final order is subject to change based on what songs are released as singles and how often I hear them outside of my own copy, so we'll see with this one.

I read a review of the song and it says that it could have the same anthem-like atmosphere as Drowning Pool's "Bodies" and Slipknot's "Duality".

Eh? Who the heck wrote that review?

Rock Sound.

Gave the songs a fresh back-to-front ranking last night and this was still next to last. This and "Are You Ready to Live?" pretty much have my bottom two songs all sewn up at this point. My three favorites remain "Oildale," "Pop a Pill," and "Fear Is a Place to Live." Other than that the songs that flesh out the middle (including both bonus tracks) are the only songs that got rearranged at all.

"Let the Guilt Go" is one of the songs where I contend that it sounds like Jonathan came up with his melodies while he was recording the song. And the different parts of the song are not cohesive at all, in my opinion.

[Shadows in the Dark]

This should start increasing rapidly soon, seeing as how Oildale is plummeting.

I'm likin' this more than "Oildale". Classic Korn.

Yeah, now that I know the album really well after many listens, I think it was a poor choice for a debut single. This I think was a much better choice to redeem their popularity since it sounds so much like their old stuff.

I don't know, I rather liked Oildale.

[lockebox]

So did I, but this is better.

Hopefully this can reach Top 20, even though it's slowed down a bit.
