Korn - 'Twisted Transistor Radiator' (Virgin) Released 21/11/05

‘Written by Korn and The Matrix’ say the sleeve notes – yes, in their bid to launch themselves upon the world again, Jonathan Davies and the other bloated blimps in his band have enlisted… the people who write songs for Ricky Martin. You’d think the involvement of people who aren’t Korn could only be a positive thing, but unfortunately, nothing can stop the interminable awfulness of 'Twisted Transistor Radiator', with its mastubatory macho posturing and grammatically incompetent lyrics (“Noone understands you, but don’t give up because the music do”). People used to like this kind of thing five years ago, you know.
